Wave goodbye to the first amendment.  This is right out of the fascist handbook.

[nodynasty4us]

From the January 10, 2024 article:

A Florida Republican’s bill aims to silence accusations of racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, or any other allegations of discrimination, making them “defamation” under the law and potentially costing the person who made them up to $35,000 in the state known for its “Don’t Say Gay” law.

The sweeping legislation also appears to void journalists’ right to not reveal sources, and, chillingly removes the long-standing requirement that a public figure needs to show “actual malice” to win a defamation lawsuit.

...

The legislation is being sponsored by Republican state Senator Jason Brodeur, who last year “introduced a bill that would require the registration of bloggers who are critical of the state’s government,” leading a columnist at the right-wing National Review to call him a “moron” and an “idiot.” It’s unclear if that would be considered defamation under Sen. Brodeur’s new bill.

Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines. Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics.

In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official.

If another blog post is added to a blog, the blogger would then be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months when no content is published.

For blog posts that “concern an elected member of the legislature” or “an officer of the executive branch,” monthly reports must disclose the amount of compensation received for the coverage, rounded to the nearest $10 value. If compensation is paid for a series of posts or for a specific amount of time, the blogger would be required to disclose the total amount to be received, upon publication of the first post in said series or timeframe. Additional compensation must be disclosed later on.

Failure to file these disclosures or register with state officials, if the bill passes, would lead to daily fines for the bloggers, with a maximum amount per report, not per writer, of $2,500. The per-day fine is $25 per report for each day it’s late.

The bill also requires that bloggers file notices of failure to file a timely report the same way that lobbyists file their disclosures and reports on assessed fines. Fines must be paid within 30 days of payment notice, unless an appeal is filed with the appropriate office. Fine payments must be deposited into the Legislative Lobbyist Registration Trust Fund if it concerns an elected member of the legislature.

For writing about members of the executive branch, fines would be made payable to the Executive Branch Lobby Registration Trust Fund or, if it concerns both groups, the fine may be paid to both related trust funds in equal amounts.

Explicitly, the blogger rule would not apply to newspapers or similar publications, under Brodeur’s proposed legislation.

In additional to the blogger regulations, the bill also removes provisions of state statutes to require judicial notices of sales to be published on publicly accessible websites, and specifies that a government agency can publish legally required advertisements and public notices on county sites if the cost is not paid by or recovered from an individual.

Should the bill pass, it would take effect immediately upon approval.

No one is paying me to say the following about Florida Pols...

A new bill proposed by a Republican state senator in Florida would require bloggers to register with the state if they write about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and other members of the government.

NBC's News Channel 8 wrote that Sen. Jason Brodeur's (R-Lake Mary) bill would impose fines on anyone who refuses to register to a maximum of $2,500. There would be an additional $25 each day the fee isn't paid.

Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination would mandate that writers register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics. It would apply to anyone who writes “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and is paid for doing so. They would have to register within a five-day period by the publication of the article or stories.

If the blogger writes about any of those lawmakers again, the writer would be required to submit a monthly report on the 10th of every month with the state office. If no content is published that month, they wouldn't have to submit a report.

WAIT i'm frothing at the mouth at goalie robo

!!! this idea is SO old but i'm still obsessed with the concept of any kind of goalie robo au (ahem). i was actually playing around with a soulbond twist for this one too but then transferred that over to my 2124 draft... but the idea was basically what if robo — noted goaliefkr666 who was a clunky and awkward skater as a child — tried being in goal at his father's behest and then went down the NCAA Goalie path instead... also he liked the devils growing up so he'd totally idolize brodeur. i'd mentioned to a friend before that robo's development arc as a star player is kind of almost goalie-like, i.e. not that it's super unconventional or anything but his slow marination and pathway to becoming a first-line player parallels a lot of jake's time in the ahl and i think it's partially (out of many unhinged reasons) why he's so sympathetic to the goalie experience!!!

anyway i had a specific 2129 iteration that was basically just using him as a stand-in for other goalies in jake's life ngl. aka he and otter are rival goaltenders in college (sorry woll) and then hometownboy jason gets drafted by detroit while otter goes to dallas, but there are all these moments along the course of their life where they get close to each other, maybe they also meet in the program, and they bring home gold for team usa during world juniors etc. and also not to get too much into the mechanics of it or anything but i think jason wouldn't be a very naturally "athletic" goalie so their styles would differ a lot. anyway long story short detroit mismanages him severely and he gets acquired by dallas and they become the a/b tandem to end all a/b tandems and then jake is like ok let's go win a cup 💚 the end

#a #this doc is like a year old so it makes no sense. So Sorry

Tell me about your boy Jason 🔫

The amount of lore this mf has and you are getting the most condensed version of it!

So Jason is married to @wretchedshade's oc Olivier. He's bisexual and goes by he/they. I've drawn him a couple times now, and will draw more of him when I'm on my writing break.

Before getting married he was Jason Myers, who grew up in a very religious household with a homophobic father, which is where Jason gets his temper. His hair also started going from blond to white prematurely because of a gene on his mom's side of the family where all the men start turning grey before they hit like 35, so he kept dyeing it blonde until he was 25.

As a teen, he started to rebel by drinking and smoking dope, as well as getting into fights and playing "devil's music." When he graduated high school, he left to become lead singer of the metal band Bombshell Pinup (which I might change that name I just don't know what I'll change it to). Musically he was very gifted but things did not turn out well due to his growing addiction issues as well as an extremely abusive ex girlfriend. He left that life behind so he could get his life back on track, opening a flower shop that just so happened to be across the street from his future husband's tattoo parlour.

Nowadays, he's Jason Brodeur, owner of Everyday Persephone. He's been thinking about writing music again, but he and Oli have a daughter now and she is Jason's absolute pride and joy, so they take priority. He's also still haunted by the abuse he suffered in the past and has been clean for years now, he doesn't want to repeat past mistakes now that he's actually happy with his life.

Whenever he and Oli go walking around, they like to joke about being each other's scary dog privileges. On most days, Oli looks super intimidating with his height and tattoos, but he's actually the biggest softy around, where Jason doesn't look as intimidating but will throw a punch the moment the opportunity presents itself.

That is the condensed version. I haven't even gotten into specifics or the million AUs we have for them. You know how you said Wifey is your go to whump character? Jason is mine. I didn't wanna go into detail here but he goes through the fucking wringer. He gets better though so good for him.

Meanwhile, state legislatures are running amok. The leaders of the pack are Florida and Texas. From NewsChannel 8 in Tampa:

"[Florida State Senator Jason] Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics. In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write 'an article, a story, or a series of stories,' about 'the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,' and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official. If another blog post is added to a blog, the blogger would then be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months when no content is published."

Obviously, the only sensible reply to this law, available to everyone who isn't Viktor Orban, is "Bite me, please." The government demands a journalist register with the state. That the Florida Republican Party can raise a generation of politicians who can't recognize this for what it truly is should be a sufficiently good argument for revoking Florida's statehood.

Those same politicians represent the next generation of Florida congresscritters and senators, which means we all have a stake in this kind of thing. This isn't conservative American extremism, this is outright fascism, straight, no chaser.
