The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.

I worked at Kickstarter in the early days (Double Fine Adventure etc.) and an important cultural goal was to establish the $1-5 “this is cool and I want to see it in the world even if I’ll never have time to play it” pledge level

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.
