Putin has discovered that taking control of Ukraine isn’t as easy as it was to take control of the Republican party.

@JerseyGirlLori @Shinedown Hi! Hopefully this doesn’t seem weird but we are doing the VIP experience in Tampa tomorrow. Can you tell me how early you arrived? I never got any information and I’m starting to get nervous about it.

BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is hit with more bad news as Hayley Williams, the lead singer of the rock band Paramore, stops her live set during a concert to respond to DeSantis supporters who are “uncomfortable” that she’s speaking out against them, telling them, “I’ll be happy to tell you — I’m very fucking comfortable talking politics. If you vote for Ron DeSantis, you’re fucking dead to me. So is that comfortable enough for anyone?”

The best part is that, even though she describes herself as “straight,” she is still using her platform to be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community that is under constant threat from fascist Ron DeSantis.

We need A LOT more of this from EVERY artist who stands against DeSantis’ fascist agenda.

Please RT and ❤️ to thank Hailey Williams for calling Ron DeSantis and his followers out — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

@RyanShead @laurenboebert Amen! I’m in Florida where this is starting to really impact the labor force. Desantis is an embarrassment and when it starts to affect the tourism industry even more, maybe ppl will start to take notice.

[Shannon @shannof72]

I’m embarrassed to live in the state of Florida. DeSantis loves the rights of the ppl, as long as it’s the ppl that align with his agenda. Gross..

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Last week, Ron DeSantis signed legislation into law requiring transgender people to use public restrooms that align with their assigned sex at birth.

The six trans men shown below were all assigned female at birth. I’m wondering if DeSantis REALLY thinks it makes sense for them to use the women’s restroom — and what Republican women in Florida would think about that.

If you ask me, anti-trans Republicans haven’t thought this out fully. Who agrees? 🧵👇

Like, seriously stop with AI bullshit that paints trump as a hero. He never served a day in the military. His only “mission” should be to avoid prison..

[Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte]

President Trump is on a mission to save the country!

@ACTBrigitte I’m sure his bone spurs would’ve held him back 🙄

THIS is the Florida man just arrested for using his church's WiFi to download child p**n.

So are DeSantis & his Republicans pushing through laws to protect our kids from people like him?

No. Because surprise: he is a YOUTH PASTOR.

But was he the only church leader caught for crimes against kids? No. Not even close.

According to an expose by the Houston Chronicle, there were more than THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY church leaders and volunteers accused of sexual misconduct over 20 years (1998 to 2018).

They left behind over SEVEN HUNDRED victims.

And that's just from ONE church SECT – Southern Baptist.

These abusers are pastors. Ministers. Youth pastors. Deacons. Sunday school teachers.

I'm sure now Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and every other Republican on Twitter will completely shift their focus to the problem of banning right-wing Christians from going anywhere near kids.

Because obviously they should stop their attacks on those of us in the LGBT+ community.

[Shannon @shannof72]

I’m a fourth generation Floridian and he’s an embarrassment. Definitely too much of a hot head to be a presidential nominee.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

The reviews are in from DeSantis’ trip to Britain — and they are absolutely brutal.

DeSantis met with titans of British industry in an event co-hosted by Lloyd’s of London — the world’s largest insurance marketplace. And to say they were unimpressed is an understatement.

British business chiefs described DeSantis’ performance as “horrendous” and “low-wattage.”

But that’s not all.

One U.K. business figure said DeSantis “looked bored” and “stared at his feet.”

Another noted that “nobody in the room was left thinking, ‘this man’s going places’.”

DeSantis’ trip abroad was a complete and utter disaster from start to finish.

Shocker

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Gun violence is actually worse in RED states and it’s not even close according to a new analysis.

Southern politicians, including Republican governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, have blamed crime in Democratic-run cities like New York for being out of control.

However, statistics show that New York City region has the lowest rates of gun violence in the US mainland, while the southern swath of the country has the highest rates.

Those living in rural areas of South Carolina are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than those in equally rural areas of New York.

The highest rates of deadly gun violence occur in regions where Republicans have long dominated state governments.

“The Deep South is the most deadly of the large regions at 15.6 per 100,000 residents followed by Greater Appalachia at 13.5. Yankeedom is the next safest at 8.6, which is about half that of Deep South,” writes journalist Colin Woodard.

Maybe it’s time we take common sense Gun laws seriously?

It’s time to win the debate. Let’s expand background checks and pass an assault weapons ban.

Let’s curb ghost guns, ban high-capacity magazines, fight gun trafficking, and lengthen the review window for existing background checks.

We know the problem.

It’s the guns.

[Shannon @shannof72]

@ResisterKat @Banzai_Destiny @CalltoActivism Exactly! We’re here drowning, doing the best we can. I think he’s a complete waste of air and I can’t leave Florida fast enough. I’m fourth generation here and I hate what it’s become.

Good luck sustaining a beer company off 100% liberal customers.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Dear Republicans:

- We don't care if the Louisville mass shooter was a Democrat.

- We don't care if the Nashville mass shooter was transgender.

- We don't care if the mass shooters used pronouns, or were gay or liked sausage on their pizza.

- We don't even care if the mass shooters wear boxers or brief, are educated or uneducated, are Trump supporters or Biden supporters.

ALL THAT WE CARE ABOUT is that they used semi-automatic rifles to murder innocent people, and these murders could have been STOPPED, while our ignorant politicians made a mockery out of it all!

[Shannon @shannof72]

💯 .. I’m not sure how anyone can look at statistics and not understand this.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

If it’s not the identity of the shooter, they’ll blame the doors, if it’s not the doors, they’ll blame the pot, if it’s not the pot, they’ll blame the porn, if it’s not the porn, they’ll blame it on ‘too few good guys with guns’, if there were lots of ‘good guys with guns’, they’ll say there was ‘nothing anyone could have done.’
And then they’ll do nothing.
But they will never, ever, not ever blame the guns.
And it IS the guns.
It’s always the guns.
