This will go absolutely nowhere, but, I'm glad they're asking it, and I hope it gets coverage as part of DeSantis's ugly bloodlust execution spree.

If Florida kills Samuel Smithers next week, it will be the state's 14th execution this year — nearly 3 times more than the 5 carried out in Texas.

In the Supreme Court of the United States
SAMUEL LEE SMITHERS, JR.,
Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
CAPITAL CASE
DEATH WARRANT SIGNED
Execution Scheduled: October 14, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. ET

CAPITAL CASE
QUESTION PRESENTED
1. Does the execution of the elderly violate the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment based
on the evolved standards of decency?

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Bill filed in #Florida Legislature would make every single college & university name one street after Charlie Kirk. And the bill even specifies WHICH street at each one. (But the governor doesn't want streets used for political messages, which is why no rainbows!) www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

A new bill would make all of Florida's public state universities and colleges rename one roadway on their campuses after Charlie Kirk.

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs.

They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun.

That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
