  • Sure but that’s why the message is being sold. The right wing is a post truth political movement. They are the alpha wave of the next global fascism movement.

    Seeing the number of legal migrants who support Trump reminds me of the German Jews who supported the rise of Hitler.

    It feels like a necessary step.

    The genocide this movement is pushing for will not care about legal immigration status.

    We’re past the echo phase. We’re deep into the, “I replaced Jew with Immigrant” phase.













  • I haven’t had a problem.

    iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

    Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

    Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

    All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

    Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

    If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

    Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.




  • More, less, or the same as the immigrants?

    It’s unlikely the last immigrants body being found is international news.

    I’ll tell you my answer. Less. Far, far less. The immigrants weren’t in a pleasure cruise. Theirs was a journey with purpose.

    Also, fuck billionaires and their adult children who maintain contact with their billionaire parents. She made an adult decision to get on that boat. Fulton by association.

    I feel more for the employees but still less than the immigrants.


  • My understanding is that the judges are currently assigned by legislators who are voted in but could have their own agenda. This change will allow the people to directly elect the judges as well as their legislators.

    It’s not clear how the president is able to influence which judges are elected.

    If the country’s voting system doesn’t work then it’s already an issue since that’s the same mechanism that is choosing the legislature.

    My guess is that instead of paying off the already elected legislators to pick favorable judges, now the cost is an election which is more difficult to influence than that of someone who is already in power.
