A state judge has ruled that a congressional map approved by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and drawn by his staff is unconstitutional because it breaks up a district where Black voters can choose their representatives

The challenge focuses on a north Florida district now held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Al Lawson. The district runs from Jacksonville west more than 200 miles to Gadsden County and nearly half of its population is Black.

Smith said he will issue his order as soon as he can so the state can immediately appeal it. It may be the conservative state Supreme Court that ultimately resolves the dispute.

DeSantis over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill speaks outZander Moricz, the first openly gay class president at his high school and the youngest public plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against Florida to strike down the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, joins “The Beat” for an exclusive interview about the lawsuit and his activism. Moricz also claims he is being censored by his school after his principle warned him against mentioning his activism or the lawsuit in his upcoming graduation speech, threating to cut off his speech if he does so. It’s a slur a lot of people had to deal with ..... and it got dismissed. In a country with Free speech being part of the Constitution, unless it’s hate speech and anti religion anti Gay how does De Santis get away with don’t say Gay?
