  • Progressives back substitute teacher over Wasserman Schultz in Florida

  • And I don't think they would have the votes with 53 seats in the Senate with the current class of boot lickers who are more afraid to lose 5 votes than to rock the boat a bit and gain 15

  • You aren't wrong, but not putting something on the table because it won't pass is weak IMO. It's saying that it's not worth mentioning because it can't pass on this moment, which is essentially saying we didn't want to rock the boat.

    Dems have become the party of compliance. They are too afraid of losing votes they don't even have.

  • This is my district (well it is now) and I voted to Elijah and got as many people as I could to do the same.

    If she manages to pull this off, I will not vote for her in November.

  • If we do not shake the establishment to its core, nothing will actually change. How many times have Democrats held power and refused to act boldly?

    I'm done. I will continue to vote for fresh ideas and people who act with integrity and transparency.

  • Your bad art is better than AI slop [Sophie Labelle]

    Jump

  • I get it, and I do somewhat agree. But at the same time, AI helps me to execute creative tasks I couldn't normally do and some things I can, but AI saves time.

    But I don't just accept slop. I take the time to polish to get the results I want. It's still my idea and my vision, I just need a bit of help. This allows me to get results fast and fail faster. I can spend weeks in blender in my spare time building what I want, and I still do for some things.

    Have your general squash or dissenters in the ranks.

  • That sounds like a shake down for a bribe perfectly legal solicitation for a campaign contribution.

  • Black Democrats push back on Wasserman Schultz’s bid in Florida’s 20th District

  • This is my district and I definitely will not be voting for her.

  • Less than what taxpayers have paid directly to Trump organizations I'd imagine

  • Trump NRA snub fuels questions about key GOP ally’s influence

    Jump

  • Or maybe the simplest reason, don't expose the mad king to too much public scrutiny. Having trump speak at an event like this is a benefit to Trump, not the NRA. Just as it is a benefit, it is a detriment if his health and mental ability are in question.

  • Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well.

  • How dare you be present! That's just going to result in emotionally grounded adults with a sense of belonging.

  • How exactly is this unconstitutional? Where in the Constitution do we have a right to privacy? SCOTUS has ruled in past cases that some portions of the Constitution create zones of privacy or protect against government intrusion, BUT they most recently ruled in Dobbs that a woman's medical decisions should not be private.

  • This might be the most anemic open ended bill I have ever read. On its face, it has no teeth. The most well defined portions of the bill are to make sure that applications have access to age data. Making this look more like a way for corporations to gather data and verify real people as opposed to online personas.

    There is zero regulation actually defined and instead they have a 180 day period to define the regulation and a year for it to be contacted and implemented. The bill could pass tomorrow and we still wouldn't know what age verification looks like.

    As scary as these efforts are, they are also a bit humorous to me. By and large software exists independently of its creator, especially in the FOSS space. There would be no way to require an individual to install an OS that supported this or even use an updated browser that supported it.

    Ultimately, the only way to really enforce any sort of age verification system is to force all content providers to have an age verification step. This presents as OS level, but you have to give people a reason to upgrade in order to implement. If Wikipedia suddenly required some sort of OS based age verification protocol to access its content, it would become a lot harder to avoid.

    They are putting this at the OS level, but I think this is a way to back into removing anonymous access to the Internet.

  • I wonder how much of the down voting stems from people seeing "let me parent my own kids" as being tied to conservative propaganda used to support anti-woke bills in places like Florida.

  • Schumer Takes No Action As Even Far Right Calls for Impeachment Over Trump’s “Civilization” Threat

    Jump

  • Even if impeachment made it through the House, I doubt the Senate would hold him accountable.

    I'd also argue that most establishment Dems don't actually support impeachment. They view it as divisive.

  • Schumer Takes No Action As Even Far Right Calls for Impeachment Over Trump’s “Civilization” Threat

    Jump

  • I think you greatly overestimate what that power actually is. Most Americans know Sanders and AOC better than Schumer. Even if he has the name recognition and respect that some of the other party celebrities have, it would still be shouting into a void.

    Being vocal isn't going to cause Mike Johnson to suddenly put articles of impeachment up for a vote and there are not enough Republicans in the house that would force the issue.

  • I had hoped that even the maga members of Congress still had enough spine and self respect to put the rule of law over the promise of power, influence, and the ability to shape their christo-facist state. What a naive fool.
