Believe me, I know - I have two school age kids. And it isn't even just YouTube - back during 2016 I had to have a talk with their daycare because one of the teachers there decided to tell the class of 3 year olds that Hillary Clinton was a scary monster who wants to murder babies in their mommy's tummies and they should tell their parents to vote for Trump.

I am a high school social science teacher in the southern half of Illinois. This morning a student asked why Pritzker was letting all criminals out of prison and why won’t cops be allowed to arrest murderers anymore? It took me a moment to figure out he was talking about the cash bail law. After explaining it they asked “why would people lie about what the law actually does?” I have to remind myself that we are in school to learn about these things.

Not locking up poor people indefinitely without being convicted of a crime means letting murderers kill your family

The only card republicans can play is the racist one. We saw it with CRT in other states. There’s probably some people who can be swayed still. Lots of scared and racist white folk out there. I don’t think it’s enough to change the election though.

On youtube at least, I guess the algorithm knows me well enough to not bother showing me any of that poo poo, I mostly just get Pritzker stuff. It still sucks though, because a lot of his ads include video/voice clips of Bailey's insane abortion screeds, and it's like: Yes, I am already very aware of how hosed up this is, I would rather not have to subject my ears to it over and over again, please and thank you.

It’s a constant reminder to myself on this. “This is why we are in school” I didn’t follow or understand politics at all until much later after high school so I was in their same boat. Also there is the fact that in a super red area my school treats facts as dangerous liberal propaganda. I got a stern talking to and angry phone calls after the Jan 6 riot because I was repeating left wing talking points. Those points being it wasn’t antifa and it was a crowd of Trump supporters.

Oh I expect you’ll be hearing from young Braedynn’s mother about how snopes is a left wing propaganda outfit and how dare you endanger our boys in blue by filling his head with your lies about no cash bail.

As far as I can tell, it's legal. It's just that the Daily Herald sold their integrity to allow fake papers to print and distribute using their permit. I don't think this is the fake papers illegally using the Daily Herald's permit. It's a shame because the Herald was a decent paper, a little right leaning from what I remember, but not a rag or anything.

I didn’t get the $300 even though I own my home and pay property taxes.

You have to claim the property tax credit on your state taxes. It refunds an amount equivalent to your credit claim up to $300.

I'm at work and don't have the paperwork in front of me, but I believe the property tax credit ends up being something like 5% of the property tax paid that year. So for me, under $300, but I'll get something back. Haven't gotten anything yet, I don't remember if they're sending it the same way you got your state tax refund or just a check in the mail?

Oracle posted:Yes but what about Apparently everyone released without bail is just instantly going to move to Alaska. This is also from the coworker who just went to court for his multiple vehicular crimes where he was caught doing hit and runs (other cars not people) and also driving with no license or insurance. Oh and getting thousands of dollars in fines has not stopped him from driving without a license. You would think with all his crimes he would have sympathy for accused criminals but nope.

Still waiting on the income tax one.
