- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed legislation banning diversity and inclusion programs, limiting discussions of race and gender in schools, restricting abortion access, and expanding gun rights without permits.
- Despite record tourism numbers, advocacy groups warn that the state has become unsafe for minorities and marginalized groups under DeSantis' leadership.
