In the free state of Florida the governor dictates your college major.

Freedom to the privileged means freedom to dominate and control others.

DeSantis is the heir of the Southern slave owners who wrote articles of secession saying they were fighting for freedom. Because freedom to them meant free to own other humans as property.

You aren't allowed to learn that in Florida.

You're not going to be allowed to learn anything in Florida when he is done.

Can you please expand on this or provide a link?
I ask because my sister just accepted an offer on her bouse in cali and is goign to move to Florida. None of my family is really happy about this. But she has four kids. Two seniors and two in jr high. I was just with them and the kids are all about college and i was sooo proud to hear them talk about and be excited to go to college. But what you just said about college majors, i feel i should pass on the news to my sister.

This covers a lot of Florida stuff. Gets to education about halfway down.
 
Florida wants to make it a crime for a teacher to address or refer to a student using anything other than the pronouns for the gender assigned at birth. In the free state of Florida no one is nonbinary.

DeSantis called Russian invasion of Ukraine a territorial dispute. You know, like when Lucia hisses and screeches at the cat who lives down the street.

Love that, @ABM ?

He seems to have developed a case of "lockjaw" recently.

Despite our disagreements, I have actually had a conversation with him fairly recently. He's had eye opening, life changing medical issues and has reorganized his priorities. And I can't blame him. Why get all worked up in an online forum over things we really can't change or impact much on our own micro level? He's entitled to his views (like 'em or don't) and getting beat up on by a majority who do not agree with him is not conducive to the recovery process. I too have strong views on particular subjects but at my age (close to his) am finding it less and less worth getting worked up over things I have little or no control over. I too am trying hard to prioritize what is most important as I pass through my waning years, and am getting it pounded into my thick head that American politics is a rabbit hole that has no bottom or good solutions (and is an almost complete waste of time). I have enough problems in my own life to deal with, and change starts at home (and in my own head). The guy takes a hiatus and we still beat on him. That says more about us than it says about him..........
 
I have no problem with taking a break. And someone sick has to take care of themselves.

But I don't have the luxury of pretending. Anti woman laws, anti-Semitism, homophobia and transphobia absolutely impact me. I can't just hide in my house and pretend the world ends at my door.

And reportedly Jesus said what you do to the least of these you do to him. Yet too often Christians define themselves by their bigotry. That's how they define themselves. I oppose marriage equality became I am Christian. I oppose access to birth control because I am Christian. I oppose insurance companies covering AiDS prevention because I am Christian.
