 Here again, DeSantis lack of readiness for grandstand campaigning  outside of Florida is apparent. He’s opening a seis pool like sinkholes filled with his vehement anti-isms attack against American African History, Immigrants, women reproductive rights, and the LGBTQ community. Educated voters find it difficult to fantom his level of outrageous stupid campaign blunders.

     It feels as though Black leaders have stood by in almost stunned silence as DeSantis has strategically and boldly dismantled the decades of progress made for racial progress. We are literally at war for our survival in the state of Florida.  Organizations have begun publishing travel advisories telling people not to travel to the state. Organizations are cancelling conferences which is negatively impacting the economics of travel and tourism. Yet, DeSantis is full steam ahead.  He doesn’t care.

     As Governor DeSantis and the State Board of Education try to whitewash the history of slavery in America and Florida, banning books cannot stop the truth of American history. After slavery there was the Reconstruction era, and violence raised its ugly head, and Black men were lynched for trying to vote.

When it comes to climate change, one two-letter word has me totally perplexed: “we.” There’s an implication of global unity — a transcendent “we,” marching as to war (so to speak) — facing humanity’s greatest crisis, undoing the exploitative, Earth-destroying aspects of our social structure and grabbing control over the planet’s rising temperature. We need to do everything we can!

 The Supreme Court at the behest of former President Trump and Senator McConnell rules with Six Despotic Justices . These Justices have demonstrated their commitment to use their power in an  extremely cruel manner to roll back the rights of Black people, immigrants, women, and members of the LGBTQ community. They’re ruling now with the same vengeance and retribution  against affirmative action programs in colleges  once used during the Jim Crow era.

     In 2020, President Biden and Vice-President Harris raised over $1 Billion in their presidential campaign in the last election. They have raised the most money in any campaign in the history of any elections. Many Democrats are not aware of this phenomenal achievement, and $700 million was raised online.
