I work at More Perfect Union, run Progress Report, and have no idea how this thing works.

Ron DeSantis considers anything that isn't preaching white nationalism a kind of "indoctrination."

He sees far-right identity politics as the default. Anything that defies those racist ideas gives him the vapors.

Watching DeSantis press conference on higher education. So much projection — says he’s against indoctrination but will be recommending “core classes” from the State and is banning DEI. He’s also targeting tenure, who are the only professors who have the security to be vocal rn.

There is no governor right now with worse political instincts than Kath Hochul.

She makes destructive decisions that exacerbate problems, play into right-wing frames, upset her base, and are incredibly poorly timed.

And she has zero political capital to do any of it.

Our friends at @[email protected] report that Gov. Hochul has doubled funding for special "hot spot" police teams in New York & wants to double it again. This is the same type of special street cop team that killed Tyre Nichols.

‘Hot Spot’ Cops Killed Tyre Nichols in Memphis. Hochul Wants More in New York.

The controversial units have been responsible for high-profile killings and civil rights abuses in cities nationwide. Gov. Hochul doubled their state grant funding in New York—and wants to double it again.

Another beloved football club in danger of extinction.

It's a dark irony that Southend can't afford to pay the workers in its ticket office on the same day that Premier League clubs spend billions on transfers.

The government must step up to help save football for everyone.

Allowing anyone and everyone to carry a hidden gun wherever they want will 100% lead to more murders and shootings, but the national media can only seem to cover it through the lens of speculative electoral politics. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/30/renner-permitless-carry-gun-florida-00080164

Ron DeSantis still hasn’t commented on this self-professed sex creep hanging around his state. I’m sure reporters will start asking him soon, though.
