This is a proof point of what is most important to desantis... not that he is doing great things for the people of Florida (let alone all people in Florida), but instead, that he makes "liberals" mad...
in the right wing echo chamber, Ronnie’s war with “woke” Disney is seen as a good thing…he probably thinks he’s killing it with this move
republicans actively look for ways in which they can make people’s live worse Conservation groups across the Southeast United States are urging Gov. DeSantis to veto a bill that would allow the use of radioactive fertilizer waste in road construction across the state. The bill passed by legislators permits the use of toxic phosphogypsum in “demonstration” road projects in Florida. Critics said this is the first step in a phosphate industry push to eventually use the waste in roads nationwide. The Environmental Protection Agency prohibits using the toxic phosphate waste in roadway construction because it poses an unacceptable risk to road construction workers, public health and the environment.
Theres already enough people with cancer from these grass chemicals they use. I guess double it and give it to the next person
Honestly Disney is thanking DeSantis for working class people being angry at them for wokeism rather than labor practices and monopoly practices. Is DeSantis in the pockets of Disney? Because he sure is doing wonders for their pr.

https://news.yahoo.com/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-aapi-145038229.html DeSantis signs bill requiring AAPI history in Florida schools Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that mandates the inclusion of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history in the state’s K-12 curriculum. The general education bill, which includes other new requirements in the sector, will specifically require the teaching of the incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II, the “immigration, citizenship, civil rights, identity and culture” of AAPIs and the group’s contributions to American society. Tuesday’s signing makes Florida the first Republican-led state to pass such a law. Mimi Chan, director of Make Us Visible Florida — the local chapter of a nonprofit that pushes for the inclusion of AAPI studies in public schools — led the effort for two years to make it happen. “It took a lot of work and determination in order to get this passed,” Chan said, according to The Independent Florida Alligator. “Asian American history is American history.” More from NextShark: Eileen Gu celebrates International Women’s Day with video of a speech she made when she was 12 years old While the law takes effect on July 1, the curriculum will still take years to prepare. Chan said their organization will be monitoring its development. High school student Jake Leaf, who is part Chinese, said he did not learn a lot about his culture growing up. While he may not be in class anymore when the lessons begin, he is thrilled for future generations. “I’m excited for people like my little sister and people like that to just learn more about Asian culture and have that experience that I wasn’t really able to fully get,” Leaf told WKMG. “So, it’ll be really cool that they’re able to experience that.” While DeSantis has advanced AAPI representation with the passing of the bill, the Florida governor has also banned Chinese citizens from buying land in a separate legislation. An exception is reserved for Chinese visa holders, who may own one home as long as they are registered with a state agency.
