Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I am hoping that Florida's so-called new Black History curriculum gets challenged by organizations such as the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Law Center. In no way, shape, or form was slavery a good or acceptable concept.

Agreed. I don't see a path to justify forced labor as something that benefits all, but damn there are trying.

Florida is really doing a lot of trying lately. Trying to undo a century or more worth of human progress.

Place some TNT along the border and just let the ocean take care of the rest of them.

DeSantis is already distancing himself so even he knows it's bad.

Fuck DeathSantis hard without any lube. I hate that motherfucker with a passion.
