so free, you have no choice but to do what they say
Republicans love a smol gov telling them what to do, such a bunch of sissies
This feels like it’s just a way to get around Pride in June.
Didn’t read the article before I said this. Why are my shittiest suspicions about Desantis always right.
And Juneteenth, and a day of remembrance for victims of gun violence
The rain is starting to end. The sun begins to peek from the clouds. DeSantis looks upward in dread.
I do like that the rainbow has been ruined for them despite their holy book talking about how god made it to show Noah and his descendants that he wouldn't kill them all off like he did everyone who came before them.
"The human population has become too genetically diverse since the Garden of Eden, I need to fix that" -God
I remember the olds whining and whining about how the homosexuals ruined the word "gay" for them.
Talk about ruining the rainbow right? Not going to kill everybody... Again
Anyone: "Take a look, it's in a book, the reading rainbow!"
Florida: "Put your hands behind your back."
Florida
freest state in the nation
Florida
The irony is indescribable
Gosh, it would be a shame if some of those lights were to be combined or refracted into other colors...
Prisms are a liberal plot to destroy America!
The prisms are turning kids autistic
Nah, it's the puzzles.
It's like Pleasantville, but in reverse and it's a horror film.
In many ways, it's exactly like Pleasantville. The world is changing and the reactionaries don't like it, so they try to use the force of law to make things back the way they perceived them to be, including by restricting the use of color.
As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary announced that bridges can only be illuminated in red, white and blue this summer.
Because nothing says freedom like restricting the colors people can use.
What a fucking idiot.
Yup…
What a bunch of glue eaters.
You should try glue on pizza though.
Mmmmm. Keeps the cheese from sliding off!
Go out and swap some of the bulbs on their red, white, and blue stings to various other colors to make it a rainbow.
Republicans are NOT Snowflakes!
I'm not going to let you groom my children with your visible light spectrum!
As The Washington Post reported:
The Ringling Causeway Bridge over Sarasota Bay usually lights up in rainbow colors for a week in June, and also marks other causes during the summer, such as orange for National Gun Awareness Month and yellow for Women’s Equality Day.
So I went WTF is "National Gun Awareness Month", I mean who actually needs a month long reminder that the US is full of guns? So I went and apparently it's National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Accurate reporting from the Washington Post, as always.
The same confirmed child molester, Ron Desantis, governor of Florida?! Who would have thought?
I thought that was Gaytz
Probably, but your insult for him isn't very great.
- He's clearly not gay, he is known for is inappropriate relationships with teenage girls.
- Republicans won't hear you use "gay" to insult them, but all the queer people on Lemmy will.
That aside, DeSantis absolutely looks like a face that belongs on a mugshot on the sex offender registry.
That sounds so obnoxious
That's DeSantis to a T.
I'll be in Florida soon. I kinda wanna head over after work one night so I can see how awful it looks.
This is the guy that yelled at kids for wearing masks. During a pandemic.
Florida banning the visible spectrum because it's too gay. Are we sure this isn't some sort of simulation to see how much we can take before we figure out we're in a social experiment.
I wonder if they could get away with illuminating the whole bridge in red, since the normal street lights are white and the sky is blue. You know, for Labor Day.
In Florida most of our street lights are purple because they bought a cheap batch of LEDs
Not just purple, gorgeous Lavender Menace!
May Day is before Memorial Day and they could definitely go red for that. You know because reasons unrelated to communism that surely exist.
Man karma gonna be a bee-otch on this guy.
One can hope.
I don't think they understand what free means. Snowflakes.
Going to launch rockets at rainbows next for being too gay?
So much "freedom" down there in Gilead. Policing colors and not letting people choose to eat lab-grown meat. Wouldn't want anyone getting any ideas about any notions of ACTUAL freedom.
Calling Florida the freest state in the country is like saying it's safe to eat enriched uranium rods.
