DeSantis faces pushback in Florida as voters tire of war on woke

It's about time that Florida citizens started to push back against DeSantis's far-right "anti-woke" agenda.

The bill banning rainbow flags from public buildings in Florida sounded like a sure bet. State Rep. David Borrero (R), the legislation’s sponsor, argued that it was needed to prevent schoolchildren from being “subliminally indoctrinated.” That rationale echoed other measures championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as part of his “war on woke.” But instead of sailing through the Republican-dominated legislature, the DeSantis-backed bill died a quick legislative death, making it only as far as one subcommittee. It wasn’t the only culture war proposal from conservative lawmakers to end up in the bill graveyard during the session that ended Friday. One rejected bill would have banned the removal of Confederate monuments. Another would have required transgender people to use their sex assigned at birth on driver's licenses — something the state Department of Motor Vehicles is already mandating. A third proposed forbidding local and state government officials from using transgender people’s pronouns. Some of those ideas have come up in the past and may surface again next year. But the fact that the bills failed, even with public support from DeSantis, marks a change from the days when the GOP supermajority in Tallahassee passed nearly everything the governor asked for. [...] But the pushback is growing. Parents and others have organized and protested schoolbook bans. Abortion rights advocates gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot in Florida in November. A bill that would have established “fetal personhood” stalled before it could reach a full vote. Judges are also canceling some of DeSantis’s marquee laws, including the “Stop Woke Act.” A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled Monday that the law “exceeds the bounds” of the Constitution’s First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression.

We’ve lost Greece’s manual This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:

* The costliest Olympics end up in derelict venues and a financial crisis 

* The EU strikes migration deal, while it is revealed pushed-back refugees burned alive 

* Major Greek involvement in Predator scandal revealed in detail 

The iconic and super-expensive OAKA stadium roof, created by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava for Greece’s 2004 Olympic Games, has become derelict to such a degree that the stadium closed due to safety reasons, Greeks were told. It was reported that the roof was created with a license for a pergola and that its maintenance manual had been lost…

While the EU was striking an important migration deal that would supposedly lead to a change of its asylum rules to lift pressure on the continent’s border countries, Greek authorities were confiscating the mobile phones of the Coast Guard officers involved in the Pylos shipwreck - a whole 119 days after. Plus, the NYT revealed that refugees who burned alive during Greece’s wildfires were push-back victims.

Finally, a series of investigative reports named Predator Files brings stormy details on Greece’s deep involvement with Predator illegal spyware.

Just a generation after the plague came a pushback against all workers, men and women, by landowners and by employers who introduced the first laws on labour, to force wages back down and create a pay gap between men and women workers.

PUSH BACK: Whatever It Takes | The Power Is In Your Hands

Jason Christoff Breaks Down the Mind Control of Television, Alcohol and Coffee (Greater Reset 2024)

“If you only watch one video in your entire life, regarding the power of you to get mind controlled. Forget about the people in … this show, or this film. Forget about them. You need to watch it, so that you can understand why you do what you do.” — Jason Christoff, (Podcast #177 - Jason Christoff - One of the Best Mind Control Videos Ever Made)

PUSH BACK - Whatever It Takes | The Power Is In Your Hands

“The point is, we are all profoundly susceptible to this kind of influence Whether it's driven by a peer group or an ideology. It's like we're handed someone else's script of how to live, but carry out their beliefs and their ambitions. But by understanding this, understanding how we can be manipulated, we can be stronger. We can say no. … We can push back.” — Derren Brown, (Pushed to the Edge (2016))

This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out: The world is looking at Greece’s deadly migration policies.  

*    Contradictions. Too many contradictions *    “Bad BBC, good Coast Guard” *     Two shipwrecks, two completely different approaches

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece. The world ‘celebrated’ World Refugee Day on the 20th of June, haunted by the ghosts of those who died in one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Greece, on 14 June 2023, under to-be-investigated conditions. Doubt is increasingly cast on the Greek Coast Guard and how it handled the matter without this shaking responsibility off the EU regarding their migration policy. Following international reports citing evidence that the Greek Coast Guard did not react in the indicated way, Greek mainstream media embarked on a crusade to support the Greek authorities' side. Greek officials even abandoned the country’s jurisdiction rights to shake off Greece’s responsibility. This tragic shipwreck that happened days before the Titanic sub accident (Opens in a new window) proves that not all lives matter equally.

when people reblog donation posts and say "donate what you can", I really feel like people aren't actually internalising it. not all of us can afford to donate $50, $100, more than that. but i know for a fact that there are thousands of us that can spare $2 or $5, and that all adds up.

it hurts so much to sit here and feel the limits of our own ability. we're not millionaires. we can't instantly fund these escape attempts. but these are bids for life, by people who never asked for the hellfire being rained upon them by sadistic colonialists, greedy for oil and land. they committed no crime other than being born in palestine. and of course it's unfair, to have to shoulder the weight of people's lives when we're all struggling to get by as it is. but our governments relentlessly fail us, they fail to scrape at the bottom of their cold dead hearts for their last dregs of humanity. it is so, so unfair, but it is up to the common man to save each other.

please. look at this spreadsheet. find a fund that resonates with you. and DONATE WHAT YOU CAN.

#i dont know what else to say anymore #i just want all of them to survive #theres truly nothing that could justify this ongoing genocide #and it kills me. that global pushback is so pathetic. gutless and meandering #free palestine #palestine #fuck zionism #fuck israel #we will see an end to zionism and israel within our lifetimes #i might be suicidal but im not dying before i see netanyahu get what he fucking deserves #donation post

"Onward, Christians Soldiers" has been removed from some church hymnals due to its patriotism. This is a metaphor, not an endorsement of real violence.
