Whose children exactly will be filling the shoes of immigrants deported by ICE?

Snuffing out kid’s educational abilities by ‘allowing’ them to work night shifts up to 6 days a week is not only exploitation in the here and now, it’s ensuring they spend a lifetime in menial low paid work.

US is literally trying to go back in time for the worst reasons.

The Guardian · Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’By Richard Luscombe
Continued thread

"Jetzt, da die Vereinigten Staaten die Einwanderung stark einschränken, wird es zunehmend schwierig Arbeiter für gering bezahlte Jobs zu finden. Der Bundesstaat Florida erwägt nun die Aufhebung einiger Kinderarbeitsgesetze, damit künftig Minderjährige diese Arbeit verrichten.

Die Legislative des Bundesstaates Florida hat über einen Gesetzentwurf beraten, der eine Lockerung der Vorschriften für Kinderarbeit vorsieht und es Minderjährigen ab 14 Jahren erlauben würde, an Schultagen über Nacht zu arbeiten....."

DeSantis 'Hope #Florida' verlagert staatliche Hilfe an christliche Organisationen. 'Hope Florida' soll jetzt auch am Gouverneurs-Amtssitz residieren.

Damit soll der #christradikale Einfluß in #Florida – so wie durch #Trump auf #USA Bundesebene – verstärkt werden.

Gefällt mir das als #Christ? Sicher nicht: die ersten drei #Gebote warnen vor #Heuchlern und #Lügnern wie #DeSantis. Aus gutem Grund trennt man #Staat und #Kirche. DeSantis und Trump mißbrauchen den #Glauben.

#DeSantis #Florida will mehr Jugendliche in schlecht bezahlte #Arbeit statt in die #Schule schicken, Florida hebt den Jugend-Schutz ab 14 Jahren (Arbeitszeit, Nachtschicht, Pausen, Begrenzungen während der Schulzeit) auf. Jugendliche sollen #Arbeitsmigranten ersetzen.

Besonders perfide: #Kinderarbeit sei grundsätzlich "eine Frage der elterlichen Rechte", sagt das dort verantwortliche Arschloch, Jay #Collins.

#California Governor #GavinNewsom portrays himself as a progressive leader and future presidential material. And he has been known to go toe-to-toe with folk like #Trump and #DeSantis .

That doesn't mean he's a good person, or that his political aspirations ought to be encouraged. Not if his first big post-election policy shift is throwing #trans folk under the bus.

as “extremist organization” at urging of Putin
* DeSantis (Florida) was up to something not so dissimilar a couple of years ago 🤔

During the transition, it appeared Trump was enacting some
💥payback on Florida Gov. #Ron #DeSantis for running against him in the primaries
-- by putting the former Republican presidential candidate through a series of toxic public embarrassments.
⭐️First, he attempted to bulldoze DeSantis out of his gubernatorial duty of choosing someone to replace Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) when Trump selected him as his Secretary of State
by publicly pushing for his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be appointed to the seat.
(That drive died down and DeSantis did ultimately pick his attorney general for the gig.)
⭐️Then, as what would-be-for-nought uproar swelled around Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense in light of an at-the-time undisclosed sexual assault allegation,
it was reported that Trump was considering pulling Hegseth from consideration and replacing him with DeSantis.
That news cycle lasted just long enough for those invested in DeSantis’ future political prospects to get their hopes up. Trump ended up sticking with the accused sexual assaulter.
⭐️Now this week, DeSantis’ own onetime deeply loyal Republican state legislature is doing Trump’s DeSantis humiliation gambit for him.
In a stunning turn of events in the state legislature Monday, Republican leadership not only defied DeSantis by shutting down the special session he’d called for
and scrapping a DeSantis-backed immigration bill he’d asked them to pass,
they also introduced their own version of the legislation, which they named after the President:
coined the #TRUMP Act.

“Republican Lawmakers in #Florida Rebel Against #DeSantis in Rare Power Move

In a special session on Monday, leaders seemed to be declaring their independence from a governor who has wielded so much power that legislative sessions have become largely predictable rubber stamps.”

DeSantis Rushes to Use “Gulf of America”

#SYCOPHANT

Leave it to Ron #DeSantis to use an emergency weather advisory to showcase his unending allegiance to #Trump.

In a Monday state executive order warning Floridians of a fast-approaching winter storm, the governor referred to the Gulf of Mexico, as it has been referred to for at least 353 years, as the “Gulf of America.” The usage made #Florida the first state to fall in line with Trump’s plans to rename the ocean

motherjones.com/politics/2025/

Our apple polishing governor, Ron “WhiteBoots” #DeSantis has issued a weather related order wherein he refers to an area of low pressure over the “Gulf of America”. Not the most idiotic thing to catch up on today, but still plenty #stupid.
