I'm grateful to everyone who comments about Robert's articles. Knowing that so many of us treasure truth, democracy, civility, and a variety of perspectives encourages me to stay hopeful and engaged with activism in my community. It's often a struggle to not be beaten down by people spewing hate and lies - or embracing their own ignorance. I have to minimize watching clips of Jordan Klepper talking w/ MAGA followers - way too scary for me to laugh. So thank you to Robert and the commenting Community! Onward!

Robert, when I was scanning this, I thought I had read “DeSantis is ‘burning’ education...in fact, that’s exactly what he is doing. Can he actually, as a governor of a state, invoke these threats to teachers, to librarians? If so, Hitler has been reincarnated and Florida is a mini Germany. Is there nothing in our Constitution to prevent all of the evil he spews?

As far as policing is concerned, my thought is that much must be tackled at a national level. The problem is that the powerful NRA has a chokehold on Republicans and cop culture. How do we slice and dice that?
