To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives.https://t.co/xLpTjxG0PD pic.twitter.com/voiPBbwRuN

I didn’t expect history to rhyme that well. And anyway, brown people, right? No harm, no foul. Right?Some of the migrants DeSantis flew to Martha's Vineyard say a woman IDed as "Perla" lured them on to the plane by telling them they'd be going to Boston for expedited work papershttps://t.co/SPz8Z9E6tx

"Those planes were filled with actual human beings. People with dignity. People with hopes and dreams, problems and challenges. People with names and families.

Ron DeSantis is vile enough to get the Republican nomination, whether or not he's too vile to get a majority of votes for president outside of that polluted state I wouldn't bet against. Or that our Electoral College system and Republican-fascist vote suppression would give him as loser the presidency. I'd like to know who "Perla" is. I'll bet that's not her name.
