As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary, Jared W. Perdue, announced earlier this month that bridges in the state will have no choice but to be illuminated in red, white and blue from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
“Thanks to the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida continues to be the freest state in the nation,” Perdue wrote on X.
Give my regards to the Ministry of Truth.
I don’t think they understand what free means. Snowflakes.
The rain is starting to end. The sun begins to peek from the clouds. DeSantis looks upward in dread.
I do like that the rainbow has been ruined for them despite their holy book talking about how god made it to show Noah and his descendants that he wouldn’t kill them all off like he did everyone who came before them.
“The human population has become too genetically diverse since the Garden of Eden, I need to fix that” -God
I remember the olds whining and whining about how the homosexuals ruined the word “gay” for them.
Anyone: “Take a look, it’s in a book, the reading rainbow!”
Florida: “Put your hands behind your back.”
Calling Florida the freest state in the country is like saying it’s safe to eat enriched uranium rods.
This feels like it’s just a way to get around Pride in June.
Didn’t read the article before I said this. Why are my shittiest suspicions about Desantis always right.
And Juneteenth, and a day of remembrance for victims of gun violence
so free, you have no choice but to do what they say
Republicans love a smol gov telling them what to do, such a bunch of sissies
Florida
freest state in the nation
Florida
The irony is indescribable
As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary announced that bridges can only be illuminated in red, white and blue this summer.
Because nothing says freedom like restricting the colors people can use.
Florida banning the visible spectrum because it’s too gay. Are we sure this isn’t some sort of simulation to see how much we can take before we figure out we’re in a social experiment.
Going to launch rockets at rainbows next for being too gay?
So much “freedom” down there in Gilead. Policing colors and not letting people choose to eat lab-grown meat. Wouldn’t want anyone getting any ideas about any notions of ACTUAL freedom.
Gosh, it would be a shame if some of those lights were to be combined or refracted into other colors…
Prisms are a liberal plot to destroy America!
The prisms are turning kids autistic
Yup…
What a bunch of glue eaters.
You should try glue on pizza though.
As The Washington Post reported:
The Ringling Causeway Bridge over Sarasota Bay usually lights up in rainbow colors for a week in June, and also marks other causes during the summer, such as orange for National Gun Awareness Month and yellow for Women’s Equality Day.
So I went WTF is “National Gun Awareness Month”, I mean who actually needs a month long reminder that the US is full of guns? So I went and apparently it’s National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Accurate reporting from the Washington Post, as always.
What a fucking idiot.
It’s like Pleasantville, but in reverse and it’s a horror film.
In many ways, it’s exactly like Pleasantville. The world is changing and the reactionaries don’t like it, so they try to use the force of law to make things back the way they perceived them to be, including by restricting the use of color.
