1/ Moving to Florida? Think about it! – Part I.
Ron De(ath)Santis, Florida's authoritarian governor for more than four years, expanded and continues to expand his political and prosecutorial authority over Floridians through new laws, committees, and judicial appointments.

3/The move allows the De(ath)Santis administration to steer prosecution of cases identified by the Elections office and not leave it up to local elected district attorneys, who could be Democrats. allvotingislocal.org/state-news/flo…
4/ - Secretary of State: De(ath) Santis has chosen one of his allies, Cord Byrd who was one of the more right-wing members of the Florida House, and has a history of clashing with Democrats, to lead the elections.
5/ He has also refused to declare Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election. wlrn.org/news/2022-07-1…

9/ Ron De(ath)Santis’ political stunts are inhumane, xenophobic, and anti-social.
It reminds us of the 1933 Nazi removal of political or "racial" enemies from government or university service and their works from libraries.

10/ One thing is for sure: If Ron De(ath)Santis is elected President in 2024, fascism might emerge as a new reality in the United States if people do not pay attention! Say NO to Fascism!
