    I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I’m not leaving without a fight. I’ll be damned if I let my home fall to fascism. I got involved in my union. Now I’m vice president and I’m getting involved in the UAW CAP and I’ll be lobbying the government for labor rights. My mission is to punch Desantis in the dong. Momma ain’t raise no quitter.

      “Florida man punches DeSantis in the dong” is a headline that would be funny.

      I just want to say that we need more people like you. I get that being this active is not for everyone, but damn, we need it right now. And I’m including myself in that statement.

        I’m not really that kind of person either. I’m a real hermit. But it’s gotta be done and I figure I can sit around and hope for someone to fight for me or do it myself. The biggest thing we need is more locals in Florida though. Strength in numbers doesn’t work well without the numbers and we need people to start organizing their workplaces before meaningful change will occur.

        It took me way too long to realize that the a in your comment should be capitalised and comma’d.
