Amanda MarcotteMorning! Florida Republicans are in gaslighting mode, denying the book-banning. In reality, at least one county already is forming a volunteer police force to round up books they deem "woke." One book they hate? Michelle Obama's memoir. https://www.salon.com/2023/02/03/call-the-woke-busters-ron-desantis-sends-volunteer-army-to-snatch-books-from-students-hands/
CK DexterHaven@AmandaMarcotte Florida is rapidly outdoing Texas. Which is saying something
Glenn H Shepard Jr@AmandaMarcotte The only free speech they want is their own
Lee@AmandaMarcotte
The bible is FULL of: hate, murder, sex with multiple wife's or non wives, GET RID OF IT!

ALB1@AmandaMarcotte now is the time to arm yourself, they were never going to listen. Get armed before they make laws banning “woke” people from obtaining protection.
KLB@AmandaMarcotte shocked. Shocked!
Jason Petersen (he)@AmandaMarcotte @mtsw why do they push us into feeling like we have to defend the most banal shit on earth
Susan is Surfeited on Politics@AmandaMarcotte It’s just so sick and depraved.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@AmandaMarcotte please tell me that “Fahrenheit 451” is sitting ironic on the list…
DidiQ@AmandaMarcotte This is nothing more than a right-wing extremist forcing right-wing ideology on children. And, apparently, much to my disbelief, he has the power to do so.
michelle.cat@AmandaMarcotte I reported their website for hate [email protected] this is how we win not waiting to see what happens
Slayerranger/Crackamphetamine@AmandaMarcotte Omfg. We gotta get this a theme song!
Spijder@AmandaMarcotte Buy a banned book, leave it on a shelf in a Florida library.. or in any public place as close to a Florida library as you can travel. #UnbanBooksWithoutPermission #RefillTheLibraries
sxpert@AmandaMarcotte
do they have this one on their list too ?

Paul Roub@sxpert @AmandaMarcotte Not yet. It’s exhausting and sad here, but we keep fighting because… how can you not?
A local teacher started Foundation 451, getting banned books out to kids. Worth a look next time you’re in a charitable mood.

"Protecting" kids from thoughts the governor does not like is so far removed from the basic tenets of this country it just boggles the mind.
Between freedom of expression and freedom of press it seems like there should be a way to stop this. It is thought censorship.

tltroup@AmandaMarcotte so it's *not* about protecting children from age-inappropriate topics. Huh. I did not see that coming.
Old Man Mike@AmandaMarcotte imagine how embarrassing it must be for Floridian students to try and find a job in the future. I mean, a job outside of their own racist, cracker state.
Top jobs in Florida for graduates:
“Whites only” “Colored section” sign painter
Noose tying expert
Pregnant woman bounty hunter
Book burning technologist
Internet firewall installation technician
Cop
Sam Adams@AmandaMarcotte What is it the wingnuts are always saying? Come and take them.
Arena Cops 🇺🇦✌@AmandaMarcotte What does "GOP" mean?
"Gaslighting Ole Pricks".
Pretty unlikely Ron & his accomplices will ban the "GOP's" dicktionary from libraries.

This is what authoritarians do. Grab the books while you can before they totally disappear or become really expensive because of rarity. If you are familiar with the previous dictatorial martial law in the Philippines, this is what's happening now as Filipinos desperately try to preserve history!
