These were taken on Ball State University and Harvard University campuses, respectively. Using the logic put forward by Florida state senator Blaise Ingoglia when putting forward a bill that would cancel the registration of the Democratic Party.

Floating unconstitutional bills isn't new to Ron DeSantis and his cronies. Another state senator just introduced a bill requiring any blogger mentioning Ron DeSantis's name while receiving any compensation must register with the State and pay fines of up to $2,500 per missed report should they fail to do so.

I just mentioned his name, so if the law were in place, I'd have to file a monthly report…
