It’s a weird time in our country for human rights.

Americans still travel with each other and sit side by side in restaurants. Knowing the person sitting next to you may not be vaccinated or even believe in science, or is brainwashed enough to believe it is within their religious rights to deny a woman her right to reproductive healthcare.

People call themselves ‘Christians’ and think nothing of wielding assault rifles in public or attacking LGBTQ families.

They eat processed foods by the truckload, causing undue suffering for factory-farmed animals and create extra burdens on the same healthcare systems they attack with their diets of salt, fat and sugar.

Anything health-conscious or socially enlightened is attacked as “woke” and a threat to the deep-fried ignorance that is rampant in much of the United States.

Nowhere are the worst instincts of America more on view than in Florida itself. It’s the epicenter of the neo-fascist movement and a place that sadly has all the aesthetic appeal of a port-a-potty in July.

Downtown Miami resembles a tropical Battery Park City these days, an overbuilt monstrosity of a city pretending to be of value to anyone other than real estate developers looking to launder some Russian cash and give the ‘Sunshine State’ the last thing it needs - another high-rise built for out-of-state residents looking to get out of paying income taxes.

Populated with ghosts wearing rubber faces and designer shoes, oblivious to the destruction their consumerism has on the world at large.

It’s a boom time for the basest instincts of mankind.

And a greasy little Trump impersonator may be able to slide into the White House if the house of cards continues to stand.

We should have viewed racism, homophobia and misogyny as a national security threat and made an honest attempt to deal with our character defects.

Perhaps if we had, we would have been a little more impervious to the rising threat of antisemitism and authoritarianism.

Florida has banned abortion after fifteen weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest.

A new law proposed in the Florida House & Senate is expected to pass and be signed into law by Governor DeSantis, will ban abortions after six weeks - before most women know they are pregnant.

The new law includes an exception for rape or incest ending at fifteen weeks that would require proof of such crimes by the women and girls seeking to end the pregnancy.

A brutal and disgusting tactic designed solely for its cruelty and the added effect of re-traumatizing the victims of crime.

Florida and many of the red states at this moment seem to be run by men who hate women.

Donald Trump seemed to kick off this renaissance of misogyny and outright malice towards women and young girls.

A lifelong sexual predator with a mean streak a mile wide, his violence towards women was one of the worst kept secrets in the New York City brothels he frequented, including those operated by the Russian mob, and his friend and associate Jeffrey Epstein in his East 71st Street townhouse where Trump was a frequent guest.

I know some of the women who have been victimized by Trump: their stories would make you angry all over again, along with the fact that he has never been locked up for being a sexual predator among all of his other crimes - in a lifetime of malfeasance and awful behavior.

It’s no accident that Palm Beach became a fertile hunting ground for the apex predators of human trafficking such as Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s also no wonder that a junior-level associates like Matt Gaetz seem to thrive with impunity in Florida.

Not to mention a haven for scammers like Bernie Madoff, another New Yorker who used his Palm Beach connections and residence to aid his grift.

Casey DeSantis, the first lady of Florida and self-styled Jackie Onassis impersonator, asked folks who were looking to donate money in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian to send funds directly to her instead of established charities.

Effectively giving her a sixty million dollar plus-slush fund with no oversight. Besides a few carefully orchestrated photo-ops where she awarded funds to some telegenic families (who appeared alongside her to lavish praise in front of a sympathetic and well-orchestrated press) and an Adventist group, there is no comprehensive list of where the largesse has gone.

It is also unknown where the money is being held; as Ron DeSantis has many donors and close ties to the finance and banking industry in Florida. The interest alone on these funds would generate quite a windfall, the incentive would be to leave the funds in the bank rather than distribute them - as promised - if one was partial to this sort of grift.

I have heard some reports that as much as fifty-four million dollars still remains undistributed, with six million having been paid out, which would be a very lucrative and quite a powerful fund to use for other things (such as presidential campaign).

Florida has always been a land of plenty for Ponzi schemes and financial scams.

I fear much of the funds sent to aid victims of Hurricane Ian may suffer a similar fate. Or, at best, end up being paid out to DeSantis’s allies who are marking up building supplies and services provided in relief efforts.

A convenient way to essentially launder funds and curry favor; a transparent process or at least some sort of oversight should have been in place from the beginning to help protect Floridians.

That DeSantis asked for money only in the aftermath of the hurricane - eschewing offers of food and clothing - in and of itself should have been a giant red flag.

Casey DeSantis operates a private fund with no oversight allowed or required. A potential fraud in plain sight and so audacious in its reach that it is hard not to suspect the couple famous for using the funds and laws of the state of Florida as their personal war chest and campaign SuperPAC.

The spectre of Ron and Casey DeSantis honing their act for the national stage is a scary one indeed.

Part of the reason characters like DeSantis became so emboldened is the lack of local newspapers and attacks on journalists.

The few independent news outlets still in operation are often short-staffed and do not have the funds or resources to track down and fully report stories about wealthy and powerful politicians committing grift in broad daylight. Stealing from within the eye of the hurricane, knowing there is a tsunami of misinformation and vitriol designed to protect them.

Not to mention the armor of officialdom, and that Republicans love to prance in front of iconography that attract conservative voters like shiny fishing lures in a sea of red tide.

In their quest for power they will not be alone, everyone from Neo-Nazis to exiled foreign dictators seem to be flocking to Florida to get in on the act and make sure the sunshine state becomes an empire of oligarchs.

Ironically, sunshine is the best disinfectant.

We need to shine a lot of it on the DeSantis’s dealings.

Before it’s too late.

The universal reaction to the Gropenfuhrer, Desatan, MTG, and their like seems to be, “What the fuck is with the people who actually vote for these nutjobs.”

The answer seems to be, “we aren’t going to vote for people supported by intellectuals and the establishment. We have the freedom to vote for somebody other than those who have always been in charge. “

That "resign-to-run" law was probably created because some democrat was trying to run for something while elected to something else, and so they wanted to put the screws to 'em. Now, that its a GOP, the law doesn't make sense anymore.
That law was created in 1970, back when Republicans and Democrats could be seen with one another in public.

My FAU Owls beat Memphis last evening and The GEO Group got put down awhile back.

A timeline recap of FAU’s stadium deal with GEO Group​

FAU closed its doors on Owlcatraz on April 1.
The Board of Trustees voted unanimously on renaming the stadium after the GEO Group — a private prison company — after they agreed to donate $6 million over the course of 12 years. The company has been the defendant in over a hundred lawsuits involving human rights violation in the past seven years, including sexual mistreatment of inmates and illegal drug smuggling in their detention facilities.
The deal sparked controversy as several students, faculty, and community members outwardly opposed having the company’s name on the stadium.
After six weeks of media scrutiny, student protests, and a faculty consensus that the GEO Group deal to rename the stadium should not hold up, the GEO Group withdrew from the agreement to rename the stadium.
On April 1, it was announced in an FAU press release that the deal to rename the stadium was off. The CEO of the GEO Group George Zoley, a former BOT member and FAU alumnus, pulled out of the deal citing it as a “distraction” to both parties, according to the press release.
“We employ many FAU graduates and Boca Raton community members. We take pride in running a well-respected company and are proud of our long-term support of the University,” Zoley said in the press release.
Earlier that day, a group of students from the Stop Owlcatraz Coalition — an organization of students aimed at ending FAU’s affiliation with the GEO Group — held a parade pretending that the GEO deal was off in celebration of April Fools’ day.
“I honestly didn’t believe it at first,” Arely Baugh, founding member of the Stop Owlcatraz Coalition, said. “I was skeptical at first, but I’m just grateful that it finally happened.”
Some faculty members also opposed the deal. The Faculty Senate came to a consensus to oppose the naming agreement in a resolution on March 22 stating that the GEO Group does not “align with the missions of the university,” according to the resolution.
Student Body President Robert Huffman, Student Body Vice President April Turner, Boca House Speaker Jaclyn Broudy, and Boca Raton Treasurer Ricky Lejuez signed a letter in support of the deal made with GEO on March 29.
According to Saunders, she is disappointed that the deal did not happen.
“We’d like always to have good donors and keep our money,” Saunders said.
The university will look for new sponsors to give naming rights of the stadium, according to Saunders. FAU has a contract with Sunrise Sports & Entertainment, the company that runs the BB&T Center. SSE will look for a naming sponsor for the stadium and other FAU athletic venues, according to Saunders.
“Ultimately, you’re hopeful that you can help students go to school and have scholarships and support our athletics program,” Saunders said.

From dealmakers to deal breakers
Here is a timeline of events that FAU and GEO Group endured leading to the withdrawal of GEO Group’s donation for the naming rights of the football stadium:
Feb. 19
FAU announces a deal with GEO Group, a for-profit prison company; a $6 million donation in return for the naming rights of the football stadium. The donation would be paid in $500,000 installments over 12 years. The Board of Trustees, FAU’s 13-member board that makes decisions on matters concerning the university, voted unanimously in favour of accepting the donation.
Feb. 20
Students from organizations including Students for Justice in Palestine, Lambda United, FAU Feminists, and Occupy FAU come together using Facebook to form the Stop Owlcatraz Coalition, a group aimed at ending the deal with the GEO Group.
Feb. 20
The GEO Group Wikipedia page is edited removing the “controversies” section under a username “Abraham Cohen,” also the name of the company’s corporate relations manager. The company’s social media team uses a common login under his name, according to Cohen. The section has since been restored by Wikipedia.
Feb. 21
FAU and GEO Group are featured in a segment on the Colbert Report. Follow the QR code to watch the video. (made a QR code to the video, added this text.)

Over 30 students from the Stop Owlcatraz Coalition staged a sit-in in President Mary Jane Saunders’ office. Saunders agreed to hold a meeting in the stadium’s recruiting room on March 1 for students to ask questions about the deal.
March 1
Saunders held a Q&A session with about 250 attendees. Students asked questions to Saunders through a moderator. Saunders stated that it’s a done deal with GEO Group.
March 19
Stop Owlcatraz Coalition members Britni Hiatt and Arley Baugh attend a BOT meeting at Harbor Branch campus to voice the alleged human rights violations committed at facilities owned by GEO Group.

A survey from Rasmussen in the field March 13 and March 1 shows Trump leading Ron DeSantis by nine points when 1,001 likely voters were asked who they preferred as the nominee. Trump took 33% support, DeSantis drew 24%, with 35% saying they wanted a different option altogether, while 8% were not sure.


The GOP part of the sample was even worse for DeSantis: 52% of Republicans wanted Trump, with DeSantis drawing 24% support again.

We ended up moving back to California because of DeSantis and his minions running the state. Sure, there's no state income tax, but everything else is almost as expensive as in California — food, utilities, dining out and so on.

Add to that the Trump fans driving around with Confederate flags attached to their trucks along with ugly antisemitic or anti-gay stickers plastered on the windows, and it was enough to say it is time to return to California. We are extremely happy we did, as we feel safe now.

Florida offers nothing other than off-and-on polluted beaches and three months of great weather.
_______________
Under his Florida freedom watch, nearly 87,000 of us were free to die of COVID-19, something that he bizarrely touts as a victory. His corporate protective policies will lead to astronomical rises in insurance rates, where coastal citizens facing sea level rise are free to lose their homes.

His anti-"woke" rhetoric has created a chilly climate for businesses wanting the freedom to be honorable and honest. Once the battle cry of the "don't tread on me" class, local control is a freedom you can kiss goodbye with DeSantis at the helm.

And does no one find it ironic that the guy overseeing a book-banning frenzy is making money off his personal book tour? And, just as Proposition 13 in California wrecked higher education, the DeSantis wrecker ball is aimed at academic freedom.

Yep, moving back to California never seemed so good. Time to say goodbye, Florida man.
