Florida legislators just passed Georgia-style restrictions on voting. The usual stuff: Barriers to mail-in voting, reductions in the availability of drop-boxes, penalties for distributing food and water to people on line to vote.
By the way, what is the Republican obsession with preventing the distribution of food and water to voters? Snacks are not a partisan issue. I have it on good authority that even MAGAts like cookies.
The only hope for the country is a huge backlash to this kind of Republican thuggery. In my fantasy, this becomes a highly effective campaign issue for Democrats, and, like, Stacey Abrams rides this indignation to a landslide victory in Georgia’s next gubernatorial election. I’m not really optimistic, but that would certainly be delicious.

NBC is promoting the Tokyo Olympics as “An Olympics like no other.” Apparently they think that’s a good thing.
