Jonny recaps the Disney vs. DeSantis showdown in Florida as the governor's petulant rhetoric helps push the House of Mouse to a stronger and more substantive advocacy for basic human rights. He then takes a look at two polls that confirm DeSantis and Abbott, in addition to being on the wrong side of history, are at odds with public opinion. He briefly reviews a recent election in a Florida city where an LGBTQ Asian-American won handily, despite the bigoted homophobic and racist rhetoric of his opponent. Finally, he looks at how Governor Abbott in TX is facing significant push-back from the courts, big business, religious organizations, and the federal government--turns out Abbott's letter is carrying a pretty high price tag.
