About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Anyone have a non paywall version?
“Right here in Florida, they plan to teach students that enslaved people benefited from slavery,” she said. “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, in an attempt to divide and distract our nation with unnecessary debates, and now they attempt to legitimize these unnecessary debates with a proposal that most recently came in a politically motivated roundtable.”
She really shines here, better than she’s been in years, frankly. She repeated a successful line from a past speech — “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us” — but it feels natural. She doesn’t let up on reminding people what DeSantis has said in his words. He smugly minimized the brutal impact of slavery on the enslaved.
“Well, I’m here in Florida, and I will tell you there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.”
The vice president is not interested in debating the “merits” of slavery with some flat-Earth racist.
Then it links this article.
