Florida Abortion Amendment Clears Major Hurdle With 1 Million+ Signatures (msn.com)
The citizen group that wants to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution has exceeded the threshold to get the measure on the Nov. 5 ballot by collecting more than 1.4 million voter signatures, according to sources familiar with the effort.
“They’ve reached the number,” a source involved with the group, Floridians Protecting Freedom, told The Messenger. “This is going to be on the ballot. Unless the Florida Supreme Court discounts it, this is headed for the ballot.”
Under Florida law, sponsors of a proposed constitutional amendment need to collect 891,523 verified voter signatures by Feb. 1, 2024.

A regular disagreed with my statement that Gaza was being “levelled”. However, I don’t know how else you could describe what is happening*. It seems to me that the argument comes down to whether you feel the levelling is justified or not. I don’t, but I can certainly understand that there are opposing points of view.
- According to an article I read around 2 weeks ago, an estimated 40% of the buildings in northern Gaza had been destroyed.

Paul Ryan: "Trump’s not a conservative. He’s a populist, authoritarian narcissist. So, historically speaking, all of his tendencies are basically where narcissism takes him, which is whatever makes him popular, make him feel good at any given moment.
… but I’ll happily vote for him over Joe Biden, who’s going to destroy the country."

We can only imagine the effort the InSantis administration will go to to discredit more than 50% of the signatures.
That bunch will do anything to keep their base happy, in spite of its minority status.

All my adult relatives in FL signed the measure. I don’t know if it can pass given the mixed demographics of the state, but it’s going to scare Republicans in Tallahassee that it even got this far. So that’s something.

Do you have the sourcing of that photo? Entertaining as it is, it seems a little too on the nose, like that one of Trump golfing in white slacks with shit-stains.
