    I know Florida Squeeze thinks some progressives keep falling into the DeSantis trap by resisting his culture wars terror campaign. And you folk may have a point politically. Maybe.

    Still, the brave Black Floridians documented this month show it’s important to resist and fight for justice.

    In that context, I applaud Rev. Al Sharpton for leading a Florida protest this week.

    Again, in that context, I hope Democrats stand strong, even if we have to pay a political price.
