Florida, Man

Florida’s 2023 legislative session begins today. Lawmakers in the Republican-controlled state legislature are expected to push Governor Ron DeSantis’s conservative agenda, ahead of his widely-expected 2024 presidential bid. Police in Atlanta, Georgia charged 23 people with domestic terrorism this week for allegedly attacking police during a protest against “Cop City” — a proposed $90 million police training center in a wooded area near a predominantly Black neighborhood. And in headlines: Israeli fighter pilots have joined protests over a proposed overhaul to that country’s judicial system, Russian military forces may be close to capturing the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, and Oklahomans will vote on whether to legalize recreational marijuana.
