Last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to a foreign country to sign legislation that makes it a felony crime for anyone to distribute literature containing speech that an individual may finds offensive, harassing or threatening.
This measure is a heinous overreach that attacks the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, setting the stage for conservatives to be thrown in jail for spreading their message, and Democrats are taking notice.
In Michigan, Democrats are following in DeSantis’ footsteps and moving quickly to criminalize free speech as well:
This looks to be part of the next wave of significant bills the Democratic Legislature plans to move. Appears to enable charges in cases of severe harassment when there is no physical contact or vandalism or threat of either — one of those is now required for charges.
