34. This is only one of a bunch of nasty, MEAN provisions designed to hurt

people in this bill, SB and HB 1718. Yes, it's targeted specifically at immigrants -- and Floridians who somehow enable their pursuit of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness -- but it's part of the dreadful RW goal of purging the liberal decency and commitment to the rights of ALL individuals built into our justice system.

Liberal decency and respect for others is the antithesis of the indecency fundamental to RW extremism and fascism. They are completely incompatible.

This bill, like increasingly others across the nation, undermines everyone's rights not to be jailed for looking the wrong way at a policeman. WHO first decides there's cause to believe we "probably" knew a passenger was undocumented or seeking an abortion?
