Opinion: DeSantis is taking a cruel page from history | CNN:

It’s a populism of resentment and cruelty, an effort to please the voters who still cheer on former President Donald Trump and to win another round of plaudits in right-wing media. And like the reverse Freedom Rides of the early 1960s, it is just one part of a project of massive resistance to civil rights, the federal government and, ultimately, liberal democracy.

Didn’t realize we’ve been here before. Hadn’t heard of the reverse Freedom Rides of the 60s. So it turns out the racist MAGA republicans are taking a page from an old, racist playbook. Losers.

Also, how is it legal, what they’re doing? How is literally rounding up human beings and literally shipping human beings somewhere unfamiliar to them legal? What the fuck kind of country am I living in?
