The Florida Capo De Regime of the Trump Crime Family is making it clear that even the most tepid criticism of leadership with swift legal sanctions:

The Republican-led Florida Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would eliminate a special tax district that allows Walt Disney Co. to govern the land where its theme parks sit, as lawmakers target the company for opposing legislation restricting classroom instruction on gender and sexuality.

The GOP-led House will likely vote to approve the measure Thursday. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who called for lawmakers to consider such a bill in a special session he convened this week, has made clear he would sign it.

Losing the nearly 40-square-mile district near Orlando could be a major blow to Disney’s Florida operations.

The special district, created in 1967 and known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, exempts Disney from a host of regulations and certain taxes and fees. It has allowed the entertainment company to manage its theme parks and resorts in the state with little red tape for more than 50 years.

It saves Disney tens of millions of dollars a year, according to a person familiar with the company’s finances who studied the issue over a decade ago.

On Wednesday, Disney declined to comment on the bill. A representative of Reedy Creek didn’t reply to messages seeking comment.

Mr. DeSantis and GOP lawmakers have clashed with Disney over the company’s opposition to the recently signed Parental Rights in Education law, which critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” legislation. The measure prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity through grade three, and limits it for older students to material that is “age-appropriate.”

In a country with functioning courts of law this would seem like an obvious case of viewpoint discrimination (Disney is not owed special exemptions, of course, but having given them the state can’t take them away because it expresses a view the governor disagrees with.) Anyway, I look forward to Bari Weiss tackling the biggest threat to free speech in America, a reporter printing the name hate a prominent hate twitter feed used when it applied to trademark its name.
