#Florida's Republican-controlled health department is threatening criminal charges for TV stations that run a political ad calling for the repeal of the state's six-week #abortion ban.

In the ad, Caroline Williams describes how Florida's current ban would have put her in an early grave if it had been enacted a couple of years ago. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/10/09/florida-abortion-tv-ad-caroline/

Florida threatens to criminally charge TV stations airing abortion rights ad https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/10/09/florida-abortion-tv-ad-caroline/

If there is one thing the free speech clause of the first amendment is supposed to do, it is to make sure the govt does not censor viewpoints it does not like.

Federal judges decline to extend voter registration deadline in #Georgia and #Florida as states face hurricane damage

People who choose to stay in a #hurricane aren’t just being stubborn or over-confident.

In many ways, evacuating is a privilege. It requires money, planning, transportation, access to accurate information and perhaps most importantly – the life experience and trust to believe that evacuating is better than staying put.

“#ClimateChange is this overflowing bathroom, and #DeSantis is coming in with towels. He’s putting on more and more towels without turning off the faucet.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/09/hurricane-milton-helene-florida-desantis

DeSantis supports "policies to boost fossil fuels, suppress carbon-free energy and ignore global heating." When asked about these policies, his office said: “You & your publication are despicable for running nonsense stories like this the day a major hurricane is making landfall in #Florida.”

The #fediverse has been better than other social media options for following info on the #hurricane. Follow hashtags like #HurricaneMilton, #Milton, #Tampa, #Florida, #flwx.
#Threads & #bluesky are pretty useless since they lack good support for search and hashtags. #Twitter & #Facebook are full of misinformation, even about the hurricane.

As #Hurricane #Milton intensifies & heads toward #Florida’s Gulf Coast, residents are not only preparing for its impacts but also dealing w/ #disinformation about #FEMA. The disaster relief agency has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in #aid so far to help those affected by Hurricane #Helene. #Trump claims FEMA is running out of money after spending it on undocumented #migrants. …Those #lies are discouraging people from applying for funds they desperately need.
