Alito and Thomas, the far-right leaders of the Supreme Council of Oligarchs of The US (SCOTUS), have actually gone farther back in their search for support from anti-female, anti-democracy "jurists." They provide illogical "justification." The other 11 months are mostly Male Months--celebrating the higher earnings of men; that gives them control over females--even our VP--whom the all-Christian Fundamentalist SCOTUS majority thinks are "Handmaidens"--servants to men, not mere breeders.

Cooperating with officially declared domestic terrorist groups is illegal. The law that's so favorable to gun manufacturers against responsibility and litigation doesn't protect breaking laws. But we still don't have a DOJ with the guts to go after wealthy and powerful gun companies feeding X% of their enormous profits back to Republicans, their protectors. Our school children (easy prey) will continue to perish for the sake of profits for these far-right, anti-child businesses.

The Freedom Caucus is badly misnamed: how about the Greene Tea Party? Unless the Mad Hatter dropped hallucinogen into MT Greene's teacup, she doesn't know numbers, she wishes she were living under a Putinist despotism while she seditiously pushes for a 2nd US Civil War, AND she says:
50 trillion Chinese spy balloons have been disguised as decorations at birthday parties (keep watching those kids, DeSantis)
Jewish space lasers bleached her hair (couldn't find a brain to target?).

Ron the Inquisitor exempts himself from all rules and policies that all other Americans--citizen or governor--have to follow under the law and both Constitutions. This is the classic fascist approach to control: first isolate a weak group (the prey) such as children; FL schools and colleges are "just following orders" and will never again be top educational institutions; they're illegal HIPAA gifts to despots. The College Board then instantly insulted blacks during Black History month.

Thanks to William Spivey on Medium: "Ron DeSantis Demands Menstrual Cycle Information On High School Girls." Jesse Owens at the '36 Olympics:

“I don’t think you have to be a PhD to see the striking, disgusting similarity between all forms of tyranny. Suppressing the personal identity of the individual into some group...I’ve seen the despotism of the spirit drive out almost everything else good in a man, day after day, sometimes hour by hour, until he’s a fanatic wooden stereotype.” (fee.org)
