this has been looming for months: after removing Tampa’s elected Dem prosecutor from office & replacing him with a Federalist Society member, DeSantis has been gearing up to do the same in Orlando.
Orlando’s prosecutor warns this is coming next week.

People are skeptical when I say the fight to defend student debt relief is a test of our democracy.
Today, the America First Policy Institute- the official election-denying propaganda organ of the Trumpist right- filed a brief in opposition.
Fascists want to keep you in debt.
I love how right-wing podcasts feel the need to smoke cigars and drink brown liquor prominently. Maybe there's a gun in the background, maybe the set is decorated like a beer commercial "man den." Leather chairs are a necessity. It's all so painfully insecure lol
A supermarket in Illinois has to pay about $400,000 after they stole wages from 49 of their workers. Nobody will go to jail for this theft and nobody in the media gives a shit. This is the real crime wave in the US.
