Small typo in the headline *gestapo

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 103 points 1 month ago

I assume they’re trying to take this off the ballot because they know it’s going to increase turnout for the Dems. The majority of Floridians are not down with the abortion ban.

[-] nobleshift@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

But it's Pickle Ball courts that galvanize us. So odd.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That guy is an ecological disaster in control of a fuckload of land. I hope he dies and Floridians get a clue to make better choices.

What’s going on with PBCs!? Over on the other side of the slab the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.

[-] n2burns@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.

That only makes sense if the "older generation" is the silent/greatest generation because 95% of people I see playing pickle ball are baby boomers.

I live in colombia and it’s the same here. I ride by a pickleball court almost daily and it’s always retirees playing. Never seen a young person playing.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Somebody leaked his plans to put up hotels and pickle ball courts, etc. in state parks and people took that personally, especially because they were no-bid contracts. Basically everyone told DeSantis to fuck off with this plan, which he tried to distance himself from while simultaneously firing the whistleblower.

They can't take it off the ballot, as it had way, way more than the required signatures, but they can intimidate every person who signed it into not voting by sending cops to their home.

Actually, this can be good for the Republicans. The pro-life crowd is a minority, but also the biggest, most reliable single-issue voting block.

Having it as a ballot initiative lets pro-choice Republicans vote to end the ban while the GOP still panders to the pro-life voters.

It's pretty cool when your governor can send people to come get you. Come on, Ronnie. Let's have some pudding, you little bitch. You're out of power in 2027. Let's dance.

[-] vanontom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it's unbelievable (along with Abbott's fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they're rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).

That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.

Fun fact its legal to just own a flame thrower in the US without a license or anything.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 month ago

Good thing Florida is the stand your ground state

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Good luck with that. Reminds me of the people who say they need guns to protect themselves from the government. They aren’t wrong, but they very much are.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Based on what rule of law? Can whoever sent the police be sued?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

The same people who sent the police already have Corrupt Clarence and Treason Flag Alito to create an original interpretation of the First Amendment for this one.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

As the story stands, we probably don't have anything showing intent to suppress free speech, which is what I supposed to lawsuit would be based on. It's possible that there's information we don't know yet, or that isn't written in the article, but at the moment I don't think a lawsuit would get very far.

This is one of those situations where it feels like you ought to be able to sue, but maybe the best remedy is by voting in different state-level politicians.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 18 points 1 month ago

Can the US please just decide if it wants to be a theocracy or not. Please can it be not.

This sudo religious fascist state, but also kind of not really, is really tiring on everyone else.

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

It's written "pseudo", a prefix in old Greek meaning fake (as in pseudopod). "sudo" is a Linux command to run a command or script as another user.

[-] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Actually, running "pseudo [command]" causes your system to pretend to run the command.

Also, sudopods are a close relative of sauropoda, who can use their long necks to bypass read restrictions.

[-] dneaves@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, "sauron [command]" still won't see the Jia Tan backdoor obscured in the shadows, nor the_ring.yml that you're piping to /dev/null

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

A super user, specifically, hence superuser do.

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Actually, sudo can be used to run a command as any other user. Superuser is merely the default when none is specified.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Oh the not really part is getting removed in November if the maga party gets in the white house

[-] FarFarAway@startrek.website 14 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of the county in Florida that sends police to your door daily if they dont like you, or your family.
