Last year, after Disney had the temerity to issue a statement opposing one of his prized legislative initiatives, Ron DeSantis punished the company by removing its self-governing status. (DeSantis justified the maneuver as a removal of unjustified privileges, but he had not previously opposed Disney’s status and made little attempt to disguise its nakedly retaliatory nature).

On Monday, he took matters much further. DeSantis appointed a board to oversee Disney. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is stacked with DeSantis cronies, including Bridget Ziegler, a proponent of his education policies; Ron Peri, who heads the Christian ministry the Gathering USA; and Michael Sasso, president of the Federalist Society’s Orlando chapter.

While the board handles infrastructure and maintenance, DeSantis boasted that it could use its leverage to force Disney to stop “trying to inject woke ideology” on children.

“When you lose your way, you’ve got to have people that are going to tell you the truth,” DeSantis proclaimed. “So we hope they can get back on. But I think all of these board members very much would like to see the type of entertainment that all families can appreciate.”

It is worth pausing a moment to grasp the full breadth of what is going on here. First, DeSantis established the principle that he can and will use the power of the state to punish private firms that exercise their First Amendment right to criticize his positions. Now he is promising to continue exerting state power to pressure the firm to produce content that comports with his own ideological agenda.

Whether he is successful remains to be seen. But a few things ought to be clear. First, DeSantis’s treatment of Disney is not a one-off but a centerpiece of his legacy in Florida. He has repeatedly invoked the episode in his speeches, and his allies have held it up as evidence of his strength and dominance. The Murdoch media empire, which is functionally an arm of the DeSantis campaign, highlighted the Disney conquest in a New York Post front page and a Fox & Friends segment and DeSantis touted his move in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Second, DeSantis’s authoritarian methods have met with vanishingly little resistance within his party. The only detectable Republican pushback has come from New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who warned, “Look, Ron’s a very good Governor. But I’m just trying to remind folks what we are at our core. And if we’re trying to beat the Democrats at being big-government authoritarians, remember what’s going to happen. Eventually, they’ll have power … and then they’ll start penalizing conservative businesses and conservative nonprofits and conservative ideas.” (Of course, this warning holds only if Republicans believe they will have to relinquish power. If DeSantis can truly follow the example of Viktor Orbán, losing power becomes only a theoretical risk.)

And third, DeSantis has been very explicit about his belief that he sees his methods in Florida as a blueprint for a national agenda. So there is every reason to believe that, if elected president, DeSantis would use government power to force both public and private institutions to toe his line. Speaking out against him, or even producing content he disapproves of, would become a financially risky proposition.

Part of what makes DeSantis so dangerous is that Donald Trump created a very defined idea of authoritarianism in the minds of his critics. His refusal to accept the 2020 presidential-election results was indeed a dangerous attack on democratic legitimacy — but this especially notorious episode has overshadowed his other efforts to abuse state power. Trump wielded federal regulations to punish the owners of the Washington Post and CNN for coverage he disapproved of and used diplomatic leverage to extort Ukraine into smearing his political rival. Republicans either supported or ignored these abuses of power.

To whatever extent they have principled objections to authoritarianism, those objections are limited almost entirely to fomenting a violent mob to overturn an election. And while inciting an insurrection is extremely dangerous, it hardly exhausts the scope of illiberal tools available to a sufficiently ruthless executive.

Damon Linker recently criticized liberals for unfairly calling DeSantis as bad as Trump. Linker’s prediction that a second Trump administration would be more dangerous than a first DeSantis administration might be correct. But it’s hard for me to understand how he can state this so confidently when he acknowledges DeSantis’s illiberal intentions and lack of democratic scruples. Comparing the relative evils of two authoritarian-minded leaders seems to be mainly an exercise in guesswork.

A year ago, I wrote a long profile of DeSantis, in which his deep-rooted distrust of liberal democracy was a major theme. Last fall, I attended the National Conservatism Conference, where the attendees laid out rather plainly their ambition to turn DeSantis into a model for a ruthless, illiberal party that would use the organs of the state to crush its enemies. Since those pieces appeared, DeSantis’s actions have made me more, not less, concerned.

Whether DeSantis would actually do more damage to American democracy in office than Trump could remains hard to say. Perhaps, perhaps not. But we should recognize that he is not putting himself forward as a critic of Trump’s authoritarianism. He is promising, on the contrary, to exceed it.

Fun fact, there is one and only one dog that Daniel has actually wanted to pet and he held a good deal of respect for, and didn’t actually scare him to the core just to stand near.

Balto was also incredibly aggressive and legitimately wanted to bite his hand off.

#laughs softly i love irony dont you #age of rail ;; daniel king #yes i am absolutely talking about the same balto that finished the diptheria run #the one with a statue in central park and had a movie starring kevin bacon #the actual real life balto was a neurotic mess who had to have his canines and incisors removed #because he was an insane bite risk and horribly reactive #and no vet in the country wanted to be the one who put down the great child hero Balto #thank absolute fuck that balto was altered at like three years old #could you imagine what shape modern huskies would be in if tHAT set of genetics was passed on in them #togo was a better dog who deserved the press coverage #fight me on this

Their debut single ‘One Way Ticket’ now sees them make the return journey with their second recently released single ‘Dead Man Walking’ on all streaming platforms. Dubbed as “Blues-rock on steroids” it’s a fitting title as a tectonic plate worrying main riff roars alongside hefty drum pounds as…

trying to make rabbit and pollux’s…….ways of expressing anger/frustration/fear both different is. hmm hard

#owen talks #rabbit is best described as caustic and cruel in their anger. there’s a daring to their anger that begs in it’s way for someone #to prove a point to themselves that their anger has hit a nerve #they’ll press and press until they get that point proved #it’s manipulative and most definitely ill adjusted #but it doesn’t come from the same place as Pollux which is #a genuine desire for the pressure to lead to a point of irreperably breaking #Pollux’s anger is frustrating and vexing—cruel in it’s way of isolating him #his anger goes hand in hand with the revenge drive #anger makes it easy to see things. it’s a guiding point #anger is a central Pollux emotion right next to despair #whereas rabbit’s central emotions are more. well adjusted i say in vicious air quotes #(which I haven’t fully puzzled out yet rip) #but their anger is a hungry anger—a wild fire of anger #pollux’s is a forest fire #oc tag

I’m just so angry at politicians not doing their job to the point where other people who have no political experience are stepping up and doing what the politicians should be doing. Why is a chef doing more to provide aid to those in Gaza than any U.S. politician has? It just makes me so frustrated because the people who are supposed to be solving these problems are refusing to do so or are making things worse. I guess your humanity goes away when checks get flashed in front of your face.

#like what about working for the people and doing the right thing? #god bless José Andrés and World Central Kitchen #he was just on meet the press and so very clearly explained why it’s vital to help the people of Gaza #and it’s just like frustrating that politicians are refusing to see that because of the U.S.’s ties with Israel

Unlocked Book of the Month: Juniata Memories

Each month we’re highlighting a book available through PSU Press Unlocked, an open access initiative featuring scholarly digital books and journals in the humanities and social sciences.

About our March pick:

Published in 1916, Juniata Memories was Henry W. Shoemaker’s eighth volume of Pennsylvania folklore. Written in the author’s typical literary style, this volume includes twenty-six legends set in Central Pennsylvania and the Juniata Valley. These stories, “secured from old people, hermits, farmers, lumbermen, teamsters, hostlers, hunters, trappers, old soldiers, and their ladies,” prominently feature the Stone, Kishacoquillas, and Penn’s Valleys and the many towns that lie within and around them, such as Huntingdon, Lewistown, and Selinsgrove. The stories share a common theme with those in many of Shoemaker’s other volumes, portraying Pennsylvania’s pioneers as having a decidedly spiritual connection with nature. Juniata Memories includes some of Shoemaker’s best-known legends, such as “Nita-Nee: A Tradition of a Juniata Maiden” (the story of Mount Nittany’s formation in Centre County) and “The Standing Stone: A Legend of the Ancient Oneidas” (set in Huntingdon County). These popular tales stand alongside Shoemaker’s telling of famous area love stories, ghost lore, supposed Indian legends, hunting lore, and even a story of buried treasure along the Susquehanna River. The volume is illustrated with scenic turn-of-the-century photographs taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad’s official photographer.

Good People Doing Good Things -- Daisy Bates

This is a repost from Black History Month 2021, and one I feel well deserves being seen again. I’m going to do something a little bit different today.  My usual Wednesday ‘good people’ posts feature people who are doing good things for others, or for the planet, in recent days or weeks.  Today, though, I’m going to highlight a single good person who has been dead for 24 years now, but who, in…
