Sanibel/Pine Island source: It's really bad down there.
The missing person count is up to around 4000 but there's roadblocks to accurately reconciling that number. There's a significant number suicides from the storm. Folks didn't evacuate, got flooded out, knew they were about
to drown but chose to end their life instead. They wanted someone on the phone with them in their final moments. A staff of 16 clerical workers took about 5300 calls and only missed about 50 or so. DeSantis is trying to block media from covering his disaster.
#RemoveRon
My source's wife is one of the clerical workers in the throes of this. She can not go on record because we have a petty, vindictive, dangerous governor and she is there to help people not to fight a governor running an imaginary presidential campaign.

Fox affiliates reporting "thousands still missing."
So glad the volunteers in search and recovery are being given mental health resources to deal with this tragedy. yahoo.com/now/thousands-…

Snippets from long @NewYorker article about the GOP flavor of the month. “Ron is the most selfish person I have ever interacted with. He has always loved embarrassing and humiliating people. I’m speaking for others—he was the biggest dick we knew."--a college 'pal' of DeSantis.
“To me, Ron DeSantis is a fairly run-of-the-mill politician who will do anything to get elected,” he said. “The problem is what the Party has become. It’s a race to the bottom.”--@GOP Stuart Stevens
“Ron’s weakness as a politician is that he doesn’t give a fuck. Big donors? He doesn’t give a shit. Cancels on them all the time.” "There’s no eye contact and little or no interaction. The moment I start to ask him a question, his head twitches.

Ex Alachua County School Superintendent @DrCarleeSimon, the victim of DeSantis's petty vindictiveness, fired after trying to protect students from a deadly pandemic, has created Families Deserve Inclusive Schools (FDIS) "in response to Governor DeSantis’ unprecedented attacks
on our public schools." FDIS was formed to "protect students, teachers and families from the Governor’s destructive education policies, ensuring that teachers and students feel safe in classrooms regardless of background and identity. “After two decades of budget restraints
and neglect by the Republicans in Tallahassee, it’s clear to everyone – students, parents, and educators – that Florida’s public school system has suffered. Now, Ron DeSantis seeks to force his extreme agenda on students. Far from a defender of parental rights, the Governor is

Did this same "journalist" ask the former flaccid fascist phallus about his mental fitness or lack thereof? #BidenPressConference

Hmmm..the journos seemed to ask the former pathological propagandist press secretary about Trump's lack of mental fitness, but did they ask him directly?

"Ron DeSantis is far more dangerous than Donald Trump because he's more savvy, he's more coy & he doesn't have the pitfalls that Trump does. DeSantis will announce he's running for president on this notion of the 'free state of Florida.' Florida is not free if your kids can't be
exposed to the full curriculum that would make them smarter or better educated students; Florida's not free if you can't get a test or treatment for Covid; Florida's not free if you don't have access to the ballot box; Florida's not free if you're a voter who, thru your
municipal government you vote and, by majority determined home rule, and then Gov. DeSantis says 'I'm not gonna let you do that,' and he kneecaps local voters. Florida's NOT free. It's a narrative that Ron DeSantis is very successfully selling which is what makes him dangerous,
