BREAKING: Judge rules that HB5, FL's 15 week abortion ban, is unconstitutional and violates the privacy provision of the State Constitution & he supports a temporary statewide injunction. His order will not happen until he signs it. An important win for abortion rights in FL.

Holy shit. Ron DeSantis defends Florida’s new history curriculum standards teaching that slaves learned skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit” — He says it’s “rooted in whatever is factual”. some slaves learned how to be “a blacksmith.”
