“It is all about momentum, and at the moment, momentum, certainly political momentum, is with the state,” he said.

A Florida state-level senator proposed a bill that would require (many) journalists and anyone whose work is writing about state legislators on the internet to register with the state. If you're wondering what the next generation of Republicans are working on.

Attached: 1 image I'm an anti-fascist journalist in Los Angeles, California. I post news blogs on my own website and on Daily Kos. If you follow my work, you've likely noticed that I spend a lot of time speaking about attacks against LGBTQ+ rights— especially legislation targeting transgender and non-binary people. A newly proposed bill in Florida, a state I've never been to, would require me to "register" with the state's own private government agency in order to continue reporting and blogging about these issues— as they relate to Florida Republican officials. If this bill passed and I simply wrote a blog post mentioning Ron DeSantis, I could be fined by Florida. A state that I've never been to.
