Protest fatigue in the darkening Sunshine State [View all]
Today the new members of the New College board in Sarasota FL are visiting the campus that they want to turn into "Hillsdale College Florida Branch." There will be protests. I should go, because the evangelical Christofascist takeover of a public college is such a heinous move on the part of DeSadist and it must be opposed--but, jeez, will it make any difference? The takeover of FL by semi-fascist conservatives seem to already be in place. Teachers fear to put books in classroom libraries, women's right to bodily autonomy is partially toasted (15-week ban), and Moms for Bigotry, Proud Louts, and Oath Creepers are out and proud and sitting on school boards here.
Feeling outmatched and tired and whiney. Can't relocate at present. And--gotta remember, nobody forces me to wear fabric around my head in a prescribed way or go to jail, so that's good. Must keep things in perspective. Thanks for listening, DUers.
