How? Well, @RonDeSantis launched an all-out assault on the core values of freedom, equality, and democracy to usurp Trump's base in his run for president. He's ignored the real challenges in our state to sow division and pursue an agenda of government intrusion and control. Image @GovRonDeSantis has whipped up hysteria and manufactured a cynical fog of fear as he turns our schools over to book-banning extremists who censor and white-wash history and relentlessly attack LGBTQ students and parents.

Hi Brian Cornell, CEO @Target I understand, as extremists whip their base into an unstable frenzy, your first instinct is to protect your employees safety. We’ve all had to adapt in the face of emboldened bigotry.
But your actions are actually increasing the danger. Truly… You are sending a message that to get their way, to alter your company mission, and uproot deeply held values , they simple need to rattle their sabers and topple displays and bluff charge a clerk.
