Florida Republicans have filed a barrage of awful bills for the state legislative session that’s hard to believe. I wrote and listed them one by one to illustrate how extreme these proposals truly are. Please share to spread word of what’s happening in Florida.

The barrage of awful bills filed by Florida Republicans for the state legislative session is hard to believe, so I wrote about them, one by one, to illustrate just how extreme these proposals truly are. I'll also put them in a thread below.
latinorebels.com/2023/03/07/flo…

HB 1/SB 202:
This proposal is designed to defund Florida public schools and hand over $4 BILLION of our tax dollars to unaccountable private charter schools through a voucher program. At a recent committee hearing, they cut public comment to just one minute to stifle criticism.

SB 102:
Despite out-of-control housing costs that have resulted in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country, Florida Republicans want to take away local government’s ability to enact rent controls during states of emergency.

Public records reveal Ron DeSantis’ press team has a list of “journalists” who they refer to as “friendlies.” It includes Brendon Leslie, a hack with a crappy right wing blow who was present during the January 6th riots.

Background on Brendon Leslie’s participation in the January 6th riots.

While Ron DeSantis’ press team is happy to give a January 6th insurrectionist access, they banned me from his publicly funded press events, blocked me from receiving press releases from the governor’s office and the FDLE has surveilled my social media.

Here’s a Miami detective blocking us from a Ron DeSantis publicly funded press event. She says we’re not press despite DeSantis’ own lawyers saying I’m a “journalist” in a motion to dismiss against a federal lawsuit I filed. We wanted to ask DeSantis’ cruel migrant stunt.

Here is officer Heredia-Rubio acknowledging that we are never violent and that his orders to block us from these publicly funded press events by DeSantis from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Same agency that has an 89 page dossier tracking my social media activity.

Despite us calmly engaging officer Heredia-Rubio (he was polite with us) his fellow officers escalate by threatening arrest, forcibly removing us, while falsely claiming we were raising our voices (we were not as shown). Your tax dollars protect DeSantis from tough questions.

Was just denied entrance to DeSantis’ press event. Police put their hands on me and forcibly removed me from this publicly funded event despite me not raising my voice and police acknowledging we are not violent. We wanted to ask why DeSantis is using migrants as political props.

Footage coming soon.

.@grantstern was also denied entrance by an officer who refused to identify himself.

We are flying this banner over Orlando today that says DESANTIS IS A HUMAN TRAFFICKER. Shame on him and all those who are complicit in this disgusting political stunt against migrant parents and their children.
