"On Fox News Thursday morning, Donald #Trump had a weird instruction for his supporters: they don’t have to #vote.
“My instruction: We don’t need the votes, I have so many votes,” Trump said on Fox & Friends before going on a rant about how much support he has in #Florida."
Cool, cool.
You do you, orange shitstain.

Know what that is in that photo?
It's a dumpster full of books —mostly LGBT stuff but others too— heading to the landfill.
Know what *that* is?
It's goddamned fascism.
This is what hate looks like.
This is what hate does.

PS: This is one of the rare occasions when I side with publishers in a lawsuit. (FYI, see the next post in this thread for the last time this happened.) This is a case in which the interests of publishers, authors, and readers align.
NEW: The #Florida Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral argument on Thursday in a lawsuit challenging the state's congressional map. Pro-voting groups argue that the map, drawn by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), illegally discriminates against Black voters. #legal https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/florida-supreme-court-to-hear-arguments-in-congressional-redistricting-case/
#Florida is reportedly 💥sending police officers to the homes of people who signed a #petition supporting an #abortion #rights ballot #initiative.
Florida Governor #Ron #DeSantis’s administration has begun ❌investigating thousands of verified signatures that helped to put a state constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion on the ballot in November.
The amendment would overturn Florida’s current six-week abortion ban.
Petition organizers collected about 100,000 more signatures than they needed, surpassing the 900,000 that are required by the state and ensuring that their policy would be on the ballot.
Now the Department of State’s spokesperson Ryan Ash claims that his agency has “uncovered evidence of illegal conduct with fraudulent petitions.”
Supervisors in Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Osceola, Alachua, and Broward counties have been requested to gather around 36,000 signatures for state review, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
One supervisor with 16 years of experience told the Times that the state’s request was entirely unprecedented.
Not only had the state requested signatures that had already been verified, but they did so for a validated petition, not a rejected petition, which are typically the basis of fraud investigations.

TODAY: The #Florida Supreme Court will hear oral argument in a lawsuit led by Black Voters Matter arguing that the state’s congressional map, drawn by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), unconstitutionally diminishes Black voters’ power.
