  • Fury Grows Over Democrats Who Won't Back ICE Funding Freeze | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • This is a stupid argument to have. If DHS has its funding frozen, do you think the Trump Admin is going to furlough ICE? Fuck no. They didn't during the last shutdown either. What Trump would do is something like shutter the TSA, canceling all domestic air travel, and blame it on Democrats.

    If the Democrats had real leverage here, they should absolutely stop DHS funding, but they don't have that leverage right now. What they need to be doing is speaking clearly and passionately about the atrocities being committed, but unfortunately they still sound weak as hell as a party.

  • I don't think Newsom has a chance in hell of winning the Democratic primary. Calling him the "frontrunner" is just fluff, the primaries are still over two years away

  • I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is not telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up?

  • No argument here. My response was to the idea that the US has never had any form of accountability for presidents, which is just not true.

  • Well, we did, it just requires functional legislative and judicial branches, which we no longer have

    Edit: Y'all, accountability ≠ jail or death. The US Legislature and Supreme Court have reined in presidential power for literally the entire existence of the US. Even during the first Trump Admin this happened. What's happening now is a total abdication of the separation of powers

  • Proposed billionaires’ tax in California rattles Silicon Valley, entangles Gov. Newsom

    Jump

  • So "nearly half" of California's income tax revenue comes from the top 1% of earners, and "a few hundred" billionaires would be subject to this one-time tax.

    There are approximately 20 million workers in California, so the top 1% of earners is about 200,000 people.

    Even with a high end estimate, roughly 195,500 of the top 1% of earners will not be subject to this one-time tax. This bill only targets the top 0.0025% of earners in California. One four-hundredth of the top one percent.

  • PBS Kids is a great option for littles! Free, no commercials, and supportive of social/emotional development (Reminder to set up a monthly donation to your local PBS station!). With the PBS Kids app, we'd often download a few episodes of something like Daniel Tiger or Wild Kratts for road trips

    We rarely watch YouTube together, most of the time he's watching a series of some kind through Netflix or Paramount. Trollhunters, Gravity Falls, Henry Danger, stuff like that. His only exposure to commercials is during football games, whereas I can still sing over 100 jingles from my childhood.

    It's still always better to limit/avoid screentime...

  • Definitely the case! I'm not always on top of this myself, but I do go in and remove anything that may poison my recommendations. At this point, I just get plants, history, and a splash of comedy. Thank you for bringing this to the fore!

  • My son is still young, almost 8, so I'm speaking for near that age level. He doesn't get unrestricted access to YouTube. If he's watching YouTube, it's with one of us present and helping him navigate it. He always wants to watch the video that's the lowest quality shit just based on the thumbnail, because they have thumbnails that stick out. I've taught him about "low quality" content and we've watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say "no, that's going to be low quality," he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.

    Eventually, I'm going to let him navigate YouTube alone sometimes, and then go back and look at his watch history to see how things are going. He doesn't know watch history is a thing, nor will I ever tell him. If things go off the rails, we will guide them back to the rails slowly and nonjudgmentally

    That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn't disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child
