As a gay man in Florida, “things are scary right now,” @bjoewolf tells Mehdi. “And it scares me that this is now having ripple effects across the country, and LGBT people in the United States are going to feel the repercussions of this governor’s political ambitions.”

.@annaforflorida calls Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's reversal of Disney's tax status “petty, punitive and performative politics."

Ron DeSantis has declared war on Mickey Mouse. That’s right — after Disney criticized Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law, he couldn’t “Let It Go.” And by revoking Disney's special tax status, he signaled to bigots everywhere, “You’ve Got A Friend In Me.”
But all jokes aside...really?

As the global rise of the far-right takes hold in India, @mehdirhasan asks: are western governments complicit?
“I think we’re very complicit,” genocide expert Gregory Stanton says. “What we have here is...genocide denial by our leaders in which they want to look the other way.”

Did Bernie Sanders *really* complain that presidential campaign bumper stickers weren’t sticky enough? Yes, former deputy campaign manager @AriRabinHavt says.
“Bernie is exceptionally nice and he is very, very funny," he says. "Was he a micromanager? Yes.”

It's "claustrophobic to arrive here in the U.S. and to have people live in some kind of denial” about the rise of far-right Hindu nationalism in India, @RanaAyyub says."There is this comfortable and convenient ignorance about what’s happening."

.@JeffDSachs famously advised the Soviet Union on its controversial transition to a free market economy. So, @mehdirhasan asks, did that transition lead to today’s authoritarian Russia in any way?
“It’s the opposite of the truth,” he says.

With Putin & top Russian officials suggesting they don’t see Ukraine as an independent country, @mehdirhasan and @JeffDSachs debate whether the war's moved past the issue of potential NATO membership for Ukraine to one of Russian imperialism.

“To smear ordinary gay Americans working in our schools as secret ‘groomers’ or as pedophiles is sick, is inexcusable, is outrageous,” @MehdiRHasan asserts in response to GOP efforts to revive decades-old, dangerous homophobic tropes to stoke a culture war.
