A Florida Republican introduced a bill that would make it easier for religious people to sue those who call them out as homophobic or transphobic, a bill built on a suggestion from Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
State Rep. Alex Andrade (R) filed H.B. 991 on Tuesday. The bill would make it easier to sue journalists, publications, or social media users for defamation if they accuse someone of racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia. The bill specifically says that publications can’t use truth as a defense when it comes to reporting on people’s anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments by citing the person’s “constitutionally protected religious expression or beliefs” or “a plaintiff’s scientific beliefs.”
And the bill isn’t limited to professional journalists in scope – it affects anyone in public, including people on social media.
Transgender Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic instructor Alejandra Caraballo called the bill “absolutely chilling.”
“If someone calls you a fa***t or tra**y and you say they discriminated against you, they can now sue you for at least $35k and cite their religious beliefs,” she noted on Twitter. “This would apply to the internet as well. This would empower bigots to target the LGBTQ community with impunity.”
“This applies to the internet as well so if the person is in Florida, you could be liable even if you have never stepped foot in Florida.”

That sounds like Florida, and the issue is this guy has a higher than likely chance of becoming president
Someone mentioned Rick Santorum on Twitter, who I remeber as right wing abortion banning anti science Republican figure, and how he would look decidedly moderate in todays US politics.
I had to look it up on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Santorum
Pretty wild what less than 20 years can do.
Positions be damned, it's all about keeping the cameras and attention focused on you and you alone.

How to make kidnapping children totally legal: https://www.businessinsider.com/flor...ng-care-2023-3
Trans kid? Kid can be stolen. Trans parent? Kid can be stolen. Not even a resident of the state, and just visiting? Doesn't matter, kid can be stolen.Florida courts could take 'emergency' custody of kids with trans parents or siblings — even if they live in another state
Florida Senate Bill 254 would grant courts emergency custody of kids who receive gender-affirming care.
The bill, introduced Friday, would also allow the courts to modify out-of-state custody agreements.
The bill would grant officials authority under the law that protects kids from domestic violence.
A proposed bill making its way through the Florida State Senate would allow the state "emergency jurisdiction" over children who receive or are "at risk of" receiving gender-affirming care — or if their parent receives it themselves.
Senate Bill 254, introduced Friday by State Senator Clay Yarborough, would grant the court authority to take emergency custody of kids under the same statute that protects them from domestic violence and abuse.
The state could take temporary custody of children if "it is necessary in an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child" is "at risk of or is being subjected to the provision of sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures," according to the proposed bill text.
The proposed bill defines sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures as hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries or procedures that "affirm a person's perception of his or her sex if that perception is inconsistent with the person's sex" at birth.
The court would also be granted "jurisdiction to vacate, stay, or modify a child custody determination of a court of another state to protect the child from the risk of being subjected to the provision of sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures," according to the proposed bill text. "The court must vacate, stay, or modify the child custody determination to the extent necessary to protect the child from the provision of such prescriptions or procedures."
Representatives for Yarborough, who sponsored the bill, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic and former staff attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, tweeted that the proposed law would allow "legal kidnapping" of trans kids and is part of a "full on war against trans people in the state of Florida."
Technically, it's genocide, according to the UN.

Give this man a chance

On Saturday Mr Trump wrote on his social networking site Truth Social that "illegal leaks" from the Manhattan district attorney's office "indicate" he would be arrested on Tuesday.
The district attorney's office has not yet commented. Mr Trump's lawyer, Susan Necheles, told the BBC's US partner CBS News that his post was "based on media reports".
I think the man would look dashing in a orange jumpsuit, matches his tanning lotion.
Why is it called earth, when it is mostly water???
Meh, he's just stirring up shit only to be able to claim victory when he isn't put in chains next tuesday.

Women make up so slightly over half the population, they can get away with this sort of thing until the first couple of generations directly affected reach voting age. Unless they can't be bothered to vote on in their interests.Because no one is stopping them.How can they get away with terrorizing half the population?
People have been saying that for decades. 42% of all women and 51% of married women voted for Trump in 2020.Women make up so slightly over half the population, they can get away with this sort of thing until the first couple of generations directly affected reach voting age. Unless they can't be bothered to vote on in their interests.Because no one is stopping them.

Yeah I have no idea why people think this is some kind of "women will save us" shit when they have only come out from 10k plus years of intense oppression in the past 50 years, and even then ever so slightly and only in a sliver of the world.
42% of women registered to vote, or just the ones who voted?
Anecdotal, but growing up it was the older (born before WWII) women who spent the most energy trying to enforce patriarchal social norms. The men of equivalent age were generally only as bad as the boomers.
Who says the next generation of women in US will be able to vote anyway?
