I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Florida state Rep Hillary Cassel—who used to be a Democrat but flipped to the MAGA Republican Party—has intro'd HB 119 to "ban Shariah law in America."

Florida has already banned 1600 books, including the Diary of Anne Frank, so it doesn't surprise me that they're antisemitic AND Islamophobic.
