To call Ron DeSantis a piece of shit would be an understatement.

A remarkable thing just happened in a deep red Florida county: For hours on end, teachers, parents, and kids pushed back ferociously against right wing attacks on "woke indoctrination" in their schools.
Ordinary parents everywhere are saying: Enough. 1/

Here in Hernando County, a teacher was punished for showing a Disney movie with a gay character. DeSantis won it by 40 points.
Yet at a school board meeting this week, parents and kids powerfully defended LGBT and teachers under attack from the right. 2/

One teacher told the board that the climate of rage created by the right is driving him out of the profession.
Another teacher said: “I have never seen such fear from my colleagues as I have in the last two months."
Numerous teachers are resigning. 3/

A climate of maximal rage, fear, suspicion and tension among parents and educators is exactly what the reactionary culture warriors want.
At this meeting, the right wingers spewing the usual anti-woke nonsense were loving every second of it. 4/

Parents, teachers and kids are saying to the right: *You* are the real indoctrinators. Stuff like this is happening all over the country, as @onesarahjones reports.
Illinois @GovPritzker is about to sign a law restricting local book banning. 5/

@mentionsHere's some news:
Nine Dem governors have sent a letter to textbook companies, urging them not to cave to pressure from right wing censors, a clear shot at DeSantis.
Dem governors should "reclaim the mantle of core American values," tells us. 6/
@mentionsRelated and important point from : Youngkin's win quickly congealed the conventional wisdom that anti-woke politics is very formidable. A lot of credulous people got snowed by this. The 2022 midterms largely sent the opposite message. 7/
As I said in the other thread with this post, they fucked around, and now they are finding out. Business owners across the state who rely on immigrants are steaming mad. Also that bullshit DeSantis tried to pull some bullshit with Disney fucked up a huge land deal for their second headquarters was pissed off people around that area. This shit is not sustainable for Republicans in Florida. They seen what happened a few weeks ago in Duval county elections….that is a precursor on what could happen next election cycle.
A good chunk of people hate this asshole in those counties, especially Broward and Palm Beach. Even CACs hate his ass in those counties
Woke this, woke that, woke agenda, wokism, wokidy woke woke woke woke 
I told all ya'll mothafuckas preaching that "He gone be the next President" shit his ass hadn't hit the mainstream yet. He gone fall apart once the rest of the country shines a light on him and we'll watch him decompose in his ineptness. But this is just a start...
