Remember that prosecutor #RonDeSantis fired? 'What American viewers weren’t told is that, behind the scenes, the governor’s office had quietly conspired with local sheriffs to tarnish the reputations of these democratically elected prosecutors—turning local cops against the state attorneys they’re supposed to partner with and trust." Oh, and the latest firing also short-circuited an investigation of abusive cops.

@wdlindsy Answering article title, Why? Because the gun lobby empowered by Republicans says “my freedom to tote lethal power Trumps you freedom to live, but I have plenty of “thoughts and prayers ready to throw at your feet with some faux tears and hope in the next life you’ll carry an assault rifle to get it on with, in Wild West America…” 🔥

@enduser@toot.io Ya know what I don’t understand, why are the people who are so in favor of the death penalty for living breathing adults, against abortions which are performed on tissue that has yet to take a first breath.

@mg@social.mypdns.org ?? @human@social.mypdns.org

@enduser@toot.io I agree with the old wizard, which is why I’m against the death penalty.

@TruthSandwich@qoto.org Death and punishment are the entire basis for religion. Do what we want or you’ll be punished with everlasting torture or some such nonsense. Why do humans believe the punishment is so evident, while the rewards are never seen in this life.

Ron DeSantis must do better than simply say the white supremacist terrorist attack in Jacksonville was "Unacceptable." He must follow the lead of what NY Gov Hochul did after Buffalo Shooting and address gun violence and white supremacy. My CNN article: cnn.com/2023/08/28/opinions/ro

I know the "reasonable and realistic" thing we do is let the sociopaths guide our way into the future but it's the youngest who'll deal with the worst consequences of all these bad choices.

Maybe listen to the kids.
Fun fact: They mostly agree with scientists.

@celset2 I just moved my mother out of Florida and to Alabama. Who would ever have thought that would be an improvement!
