Comrade Uncle regales you with the various spiteful dipshittery of Florida's SB 1580 which just passed and was signed into law by renowned Floridaman Ron DeShitbag, excuse me, DeSanctimonious... Wait that's not it... DeSantis. Florida governor Rob DeSnivel and his crew of gerrymandering goons passed a law which attacks trans people, the right of hospitals to require masks, and gives all levels of healthcare providers the ability  to deny everything from birth control, to healthcare to anybody they dislike. "Freedom of conscience" my ass.
