FTA:

By signing his latest fascist legislation which criminalizes undocumented immigrants for…well… just being in Florida, De Santis has effectively chased out virtually the entire undocumented poplulation of the state, which means more than 80% of the construction workers, and nearly 100% of the agricultural workers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It cascades from there. I just spent half an hour on tiktok, for an old timer like me that’s a bit of a challenge, but it was worth it. In that short amount of time, I saw latin truckers blocking entire highways with their boycotting and refusing to deliver loads in Florida, or to take loads out. They aren’t even undocumented, that’s just the solidarity folks.

    Will y’all still be laughing when he signs legislation sending prisoners to do essential labor? When he starts buying more prisoners from other states when the Florida prison population runs low? Or when he starts rounding more people up to be new prison labor?

    That’s how fascists work: they double down.

        Do you laugh at the trans refugees that have to flee the state because he’s making it impossible for them to survive?

          Neither @[email protected] nor I laugh at other people’s misery.

          It’s a sad laugh that goes deep into Europe’s History. The sad laugh of an event that taught us the meaning of accountability.

            So you believe in holding us accountable for, what, losing? That’s literally just victim blaming.

            The ones that are to blame are the ones who voted for fascists. That’s it. Maybe you can put some blame on nonvoters (I don’t but I understand the argument), but the bulk of the accountability has to be on the ones who voted for this.

            None should be placed on the victims. Fuck that.

        As a French, I understand your feeling.

        Hopefully, we won’t have to witness another “didn’t learn the history books” moment in the future, but far right movements are rising everywhere in Europe too.

      Exactly he won’t back down and this is always been his next step. Unfortunately it will go different. Like his law making child sex abuse the death penalty. At the same time calling trans and LGBQT community in whole groomers.

      He admires Hitler and is wanting that power to do what he is doing on a national level. Why we need to keep him out of the whitehouse.
