Proud Boys, so-called “Moms4Liberty” turn Hernando County, FL school board meeting into circus with anti-LGBTQ hate. All this was over the Disney movie “strange world” which simply includes a Gay character in a movie about saving the world.

This Disney film was played for a 5th grade class, so Nazis and Christian nationalists are stirring up hate and call. Proud Boys speaker Robert Christenson (AKA “Based Spartan”) gave a ranting speech sounding like Hitler himself, screaming about “alpha men.”

The Proud Boys, Moms4Liberty, and all their supporters were outnumbered about 2-1 by supporters of keeping the banned books and Disney movie available

On the 26th of May, “Justice” Samuel Alito (aka the Witchburner) got yet another abortion rights protest at his Northern Virginia home. He’s been getting these for over a year after citing Matthew Hale in the Dobb’s decision to let states revoke abortion rights.

Video of 2nd half of ride, as part of the ride continues to the Mill District.

This ride was smaller than the others as the starting point had to move to accomodate the Orlando Fringe Festival. A false report that the May ride would be the last due to police pressure on organizers turned out to be total crap. Critical Mass is alive and well and riding in Orlando!

On the 24th of May, Florida’s fascist and theocratic extremist governor Ron DeSantis formally announced he is running for President in 2024. This announcement was delayed over a half hour by “problems” at Twitter of unknown origin. In Miami, his supporters were beginning a two day retreat at the Four Seasons Miami. This drew a small number of pro-Trump protesters and a large number of anti-GOP/anti-Fascist/anti-theocratic protesters. At least three of the latter got inside the event before being expelled.

On the 20th of May, protesters marched through the streets of downtown Ft Lauderdale, FL for abortion rights. A key chant of the march was “Free State? Where’s my freedom!”

In addition to the march, activists collected signatures for the statewide ballot referendum to protect abortion fights in FL and torpedo Ron DeathSantis’s antichoice agenda.

On the 18th of May, Beyond Extreme Energy and 3ed Act backed up frontline activists, descending on the monthly meeting of FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Protesters blocked the driveway with rocking chairs and protrayed the Commissioners as puppets of W Va Senator Joe Manchin. Manchin is still promoting coal, fracking, and the infamous Mountain Valley Pipeline or MVP.

Cops managed to force the elders in rocking chairs blocking FERC’s driveway to move, only to effectively do their job for them by blocking the driveway themselves afterwards.

FERC for many years has had a reputation as the gas/fracking industry’s rubber stamp for eminent domain. Recently there were hopeful signs of change, only for these hopes to be squashed by the greed of Senator Joe Manchin, who never met a fossil fuel project he didn’t like.

Manchin’s behavior may bear more bitter fruit than even he expected. He has blocked expanding the Supreme Court, and has protected the filibuster so the GOP can abolish it on their own watch for a strategic advantage. If the wave of violent hate wracking the South unleashed by SCOTUS’s anti-abortion Dobbs decision leads to civil war, Manchin’s choices will harvest a fruit as bitter as juice from a citrus-rust damaged, shrunken and mottled Florida orange.

Antiabortion extremists have developed a nasty habit of opening fake clinics loaded with Bible propaganda next to abortion clinics. On the 16th of March, one of these fake clinics next to Lakeland Women’s Health Center in Florida held a ribbon cutting ceremony. The ceremony drew an angry and noisy protest from defenders of the legitimate clinic and from Occupy Polk.

The pairs of real and fake clinics are becoming reminescent of the pairs of opposing castles that were often built along European rivers that formed front lines between contending powers, especially in France. All clinics in places like Florida with religious extremists dominating the state government are effectively under siege.

Polk County Sheriff’s deputy Capt Billy Strickland appeared to participate in as well as defend the ribbon cutting ceremony. He was seen seated in the middle of the crowd under the tent during the ceremony, not standing apart to defend it. Interestingly, he donated $88.30 to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd’s reelection campaign. 88 is a well-known Nazi symbol meaning “HH” or Heil Hitler. Adolf Hitler became Chanceller of Germany on Jan 30 1933. Unknown if this is intentional or a cooincidence. In addition, he shot two people while on duty back in 2021, supposedly for trying to ram him with a car.

With FL SB1718’s brutal provisions forcing a trucking boycott, predictions are out for serious shortages of groceries (and yes, toilet paper…) starting in a bit over two weeks.

The video below is NOT verified by anyone but reportedly has gone viral. Might be a store that can’t get shipments because their regular driver parked his rig. Might just be cleaning the shelves. Regardless of the situation at this isolated store, we may soon be seeing this for real all over Florida as trucks stop and groceries and gas run out.

After that we will see NATIONAL shortages as most of Florida’s crops rot in the fields. We’ve all seen the videos of abandoned construction sites and farm fields. Sorry AmeriKKKa, it’s just too dangerous for many migrants to consider going to Florida to work right now.

For nearly a year, supporters of the pro-Trump insurgents who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 2021 have been protesting outside the DC Jail in support of the terrorists held or passing through there for J6. On the 14th of May, they got a surprise: counterprotesters got their first and took the prime spot! The fascists responded with violence.

The counterprotesters have adopted the name DC Residents against Terrorism and Sympathizers, or DC Rats for short

Although cops had (as the law requires when no permit exists) let the counterprotesters stay in the spot they took first, they also took no action against the right winger who smashed a counterprotester’s glasses. The attacker just barreled into the counterprotest, screaming something about judges and then destroying the glasses. As the fash showed up, police had used some barricades to set separate zones for each side, but with both on the same side of the street this did not prevent Fascist violence. Since the counterprotesters had arrived first, thus had the legal right to the close up spot, and the J6’ers have a reputation for violence, it would have been in the interests of public peace to confine the pro-J6 protesters to the other side of the street.

Heads up! Florida’s economy may be facing a takedown by our Latinx comrades over anti-migrant hate bill SB 1718.

A truck driver’s boycott (will put the economy under siege as nothing comes in or goes out) is brewing, with Latinx truck drivers vowing nationally to refuse to enter Florida.

https://www.newsweek.com/truckers-threaten-ron-desantis-florida-boycott-over-migrant-crackdown-1800141

Note that there is a national shortage of truck drivers caused by brutal scheduling, the hard-to-get commerical drivers license, and the drug testing associated with that license. There is NO WAY DeSantis, Wal-Mart, or anyone else can replace Latinx truck drivers with white drivers.

Also, even though SB1718 goes into effect July 1, workers have vanished from farm fields and construction sites all over Florida.

Such things as gas and groceries may get scarce here, though spot shortages of foods and long gas lines are the most probablyimmediate effects.
