#Jetblue is trying to buy #SpiritAirlines. It's a terrible idea. Consolidation in the US aviation industry has resulted in higher fares, less reliable planes, spiraling junk-fees, and brutal conditions for flight- and ground-crews. 1/

The four remaining US major airlines, who gobbled their rivals, are three times more profitable than their European counterparts:

That's great news if you're an airline shareholder. 3/

The right has weird ideas about their ideological enemies: we're "groomers," we're secretly on a billionaire's payroll, we hijacked education to promulgate revisionist histories, we steal elections, and, of course, w're plotting to take over America and subjugate them. 1/

The weirdest thing about this is that it's the right that engages in revisionist race-history:

And it's the right who stole a presidency:

Il tribunale gli ha dato il via libera giovedì. Ciò ha un certo nr. di funzionari sanitari e cosiddetti esperti preoccupati per l'impatto che questa missione di accertamento della verità potrebbe avere sull'esitazione dei vaccini e sulla fiducia nell'istituto medico.

#RonDeSantis: Es ging von Anfang an darum, keine #Diskussion aufkommen zu lassen und alle, die #Maßnahmen wie #Lockdown oder Maskentragen in Frage stellen, zu zensieren und zu diskreditieren. Das, was bei Twitter ans Tageslicht kommt, ist nur die Spitze des Eisberges, …

LA #FDA RENDERÀ DISPONIBILE IL VACCINO CONTRO #MONKEYPOX, SEBBENE SIA #SPERIMENTALE.

Non vi è alcun presupposto per sottoporre i bambini e ragazzi ad inoculazione del vaccino contro monkeypox, il #JYNNEOS, eppure, la #FDA vuole consentire ai medici di somministrarlo a tutti i giovani al di sotto dei 18 anni.
"L'epidemia"riguarda esclusivamente i gay.

La stessa #OMS ha ammesso che le persone a rischio sono gli uomini che hanno rapporti sessuali con uomini (MSM) ed ha ammesso, inoltre, di non essere sicura del #vaccino #JYNNEOS, in quanto in fase di sperimentazione clinica.

The relationship between Florida & Disney started
in 1965 when Walt began buying up worthless swampland in what was then the middle of nowhere

Disney wanted land, power, and control and they wanted it cheap!
linkedin.com/pulse/story-wa… #disney #florida #reedycreek #politics #news

Wasn't just cuz Walt wanted to build another Theme-Park,

“Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow”
or EPCOT

Disney wanted to build a self-sustaining 'imagineered' city where folks would live, work & play under the auspices of Disney
milwaukeeindependent.com/syndicated/cit… #disney #epcot

So under that premise, the Florida Legislature let Disney have independent autonomy under the

Reedy Creek Improvement Zone

Where Disney would be its own county gov, run its own police, fire, sanitation, etc without any of that messy local political oversight #disney #florida

Why Governor Ron DeSantis is right to Un-Disney Florida🌞
townhall.com/columnists/pet… #disney #florida #FloridaGOP #rondesantis2024 @RealClownfishTV #RonDeSantisProblems #rondesantis #politics #DontSayGay #news #biden #EconTwitter

A large focus of the right-wing conversation is on Senate Bill 4-C & taking away the Reedy Creek Improvement District

is this a political punishment, is this against freedom of speech & 1rst amendment

@GovRonDeSantis

legit concerns & I share some of them,

they miss the point of this move by @GovRonDeSantis & Florida GOP,

Ending #ReedyCreek is about putting Disney in its place & taking back control of Florida politics from the Mouse

2/ Sincerity is often thought of as a measure of truth in the moment. It's used as a synonym for honesty.

3/ It's important to make a distinction between sincerity in the moment, and sincerity as an overall characteristic of a person's personality.

So remain neutral on the topic of slavery. Got it.
Makes perfect sense considering it's DeSantis and the Florida GOP.

#RonDeSantis is a hemorrhoidal hypocrite of epic proportion:
Despite raging against censorship and “cancel culture,” he now wants to infringe on students’ 1st Amendment rights to express their political opinions.
He wants to make it illegal to ask whether you’re vaccinated, but

wants to force you to tell the government who you voted for.
He claimed he’s fighting “indoctrination,” but he is trying to punish students for voicing their political beliefs.

He calls Florida an "Oasis of Freedom," but bans press who disagree with or challenge him.

The mission in Florida is more important than ever. Ron DeSantis wants to suppress voters and people who disagree with him. Will you stand with students’ free speech? mobilize.us/votersoftomorr…
