DeSantis signs Florida law to label groups as terrorists and expel student supporters

Anyone they want.

Political opponents

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

My trans brethren, and anyone who supports us.

freemasons, elks, rotary, lion's clubs, unions, democrats, LGBTQ, socialists, homeless, disabled, Catholics, methodists, J.W., Gypsies . . . should I go on?

So far, the Council on American-Islamic Relations

I'm sure there are a small army of Tallahassee sycophants thinking this list up presently. * Rainbow anything - My Pink Pony, Reading Rainbow, Rainbows, [Greenpeace](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIzafGm9CUA) * [~~Boy Scout~~\->Scouting America](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmnLYVNO5EE) \- because teaching kids how to be law abiding and self-reliant is a little too woke for obedient loyalists like Mr. DeSantis likes. * Brown people, anyone less white than Matt Damon is just too f****** brown and needs to be a terrorist. * [Antifa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTT1qUswYL0) \- Which is basically anyone not already a dues paying Republican * "Woke" - Army, Navy and Marine officers and servicemembers * Democrats, Green Party people, Actual conservatives, small business owners who support people from any/all backgrounds. * Especially anyone who might know what [**No Kings**](https://www.nokings.org/whats-next#toolkit) is about. * Catholics, Protestants and Jews , Muslims, Hindus and anyone who might hazard to ask anything about prisoner treatment , clemency for over-harsh treatment or petition for relief on the part of the poor, as Empathy is the enemy of the state. * [Disney](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtvvRmZFWU) \- which probably very unexpectedly to corporate, actually found itself agitating against fascism outright - and quite possibly because of Mr. DeSantis directly.

It changes depending on who challenges them that day.

The ACLU, once they file suit for this nonsense.

Anyone that isn’t a white murican

Anyone who disagrees with them. I.E. a dictatorship.

Didn’t Republicans label themselves as domestic terrorists?

It means whatever they want it to mean at any given moment

You see how  we don't see conservatives speaking out against this clear violation of freedom of speech. 

Based on a different article I just read, the law seems to give a single member of the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement the ability to nominate "terrorists." This nomination then goes to the governor plus a trio of other officials for a vote: the stat AG, the CFO, and the agriculture commissioner. The article does not mention anything about labeling criteria, and I do not wish to torture myself by reading Florida law. I'm no constitutional scholar, but it's hard for me to wrap my head around how this would not run afoul of the first amendment. Even if it was upheld down the road, it's clearly designed to be used as a cudgel by the Floridian administration.

*expel state university students and charge them the out-of-district tuition rate for the term.

Pretty sure this power is reserved for the federal government anyways, I imagine this law will be overturned as unconstitutional

Given that it’s Florida and Desantis, probably giving donations to PBS or food banks or a Democrat running for anything would be examples of terrorism.  Maybe understanding climate change or buying a non Tesla brand electric vehicle or installing solar or wind power generation or being friendly to someone that isn’t straight 

They're fine with the government stepping on thier toes as long as they get to watch Uncle Sam trample your face.

The sign reads, 'don't tread on *me*' Says nothing about '*them*'

Laws, bills, etc should be SUPER specific. Anything vague is just rampant bullshit and should be entirely unacceptable.

It's unconstitutional is what it is.

DeSantis and his board he appointed.

Im pretty sure the entire Republican party declared themselves domestic terrorists at one of their CPAC events.

That would be exceptional karma

“Hehe but Mr. Fascist man… your fascist policy could hypothetically be used against youuuu!!!” And then it never is bro that’s the point of these laws

Probably not as the legislature would vote to repeal this in the lame duck sessions before democrats took control.

MAGA is a domestic terrorist organization, no time like the present for some aspiring police, judges, and lawyers for a genuinely good improvement to the state.

It would get thrown out as unconstitutional as soon as it was applied to a right wing group

It’s coming for us all if we don’t crush them, but if there was ever a more poetic state to descend into this stupidity, it makes sense it’s the one actively sinking.

DeSantis has always been trash

How about designating the KKK a terrorist organization? We’re way overdue on that one.

It took me a long time to figure this out but it’s not about the morality of “actions” based on a set of principles. In their minds, it’s the morality of “sides”. That’s why the examples of Republican hypocrisy are literally everywhere we look. These people just continue on with the cognitive dissonance and turn on Fox News to see who they should be angry at and blame for their problems.

[florida HB 1471](https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2026/1471)

Calling it ignorant is disingenuous. It’s very intentional and a very dangerous precedent.

They declared that themselves at CPAC.

That only happens in countries that hold their elected officials accountable.

Texas’ state universities have already stated they’re cutting ties with the American Bar Association. Sucks for all the law students in the state.
