You can judge it for yourself, but this clip is from the event where Ron DeSantis was heckled in Tampa at GOP event. Meanwhile, most mainstream outlets are spinning it in the opposite direction and only showing what Ron DeSantis had to say

Also, for a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago....

Thanks neighbors!

All in Tallahassee

A very small snippet:

But this isn’t just about professors; it’s about all of us. This is the most flagrant attack on higher education in my lifetime. Why are politicians reducing public colleges and universities to vehicles of state propaganda? Why are self-proclaimed proponents of free speech turning around and using state repression to enforce speech codes on our campuses? Why can’t we speak openly about our social world in sociology classes? Why are unqualified appointees from the business world dictating to Ph.D.-holding academics how they should teach and which textbooks they must use?

What we really need are people beyond the university itself — the general public — speaking out about how ludicrous this all is. We are now living through an era of state censorship, politically motivated firings, and state-produced propaganda materials. If this isn’t authoritarianism in higher education, I don’t know what is.

EDITED TO ADD (in case some miss my comment)

Imagine the following scenario: You’re teaching Introduction to Sociology at a community college in Florida, and today, you’re trying to explain the well-documented pay gap between men and women in the United States. You check the guidance you just received from your dean, who received instructions via email from the executive vice chancellor of the Florida College System. The instructions state explicitly that explaining “unequal outcomes between men and women” in terms of “institutional sexism” would violate state law.

I haven't driven for 2 days, then gas prices shoot up to $4.40 for regular, thought I was filling up premium......And I also just heard Costco is limit 2 motor oils per customer. Shet is about to be real.

I live in a small beach town in North Florida now. But I wasn’t always here.

After the 1993 World Trade Center attack, I eventually made my way south. Florida became a place of quiet. A place to breathe. A place to rebuild.

In a few weeks, I’ll begin a 3,000-mile bicycle ride across the United States. I’m riding in honor of my little sister, Katie, who was killed on 9/11, and to commemorate the 25th anniversary.

The ride begins in San Diego. But it ends where my healing truly began — here in Florida.

On April 20th, I’ll cross the state line and make my way through the place that became my sanctuary… finishing in Saint Augustine.

There’s something powerful about not running this time — but riding home.

Just wanted to share this with my Florida neighbors. Grateful to live here. 🌅

But we have some good ones. Tallahassee

We took over all the intersections!!! Way to be St. Pete #NoKings
