  • If he came into the US as a child in 2002 and signed a “voluntary” removal order in 2005, it sure seems like ICE conned a child into giving up their rights, something they continue to do today.

    People opting not to enforce that despicable act for 21 years is laudable. The fact that Trumps ICE are instead enforcing it should have been mentioned, along with a roaring condemnation of how we treat vulberable children in this country.









  • The pirate bay guys tried to spin up somthing called flattr a decade or two back. You put in a fixed amount per month, then when you engage with media you like you click a “flattr” button and that media gets a slice. You could also setup different people to always get a cut. Say you put in $10/month and flattr 100 things? Everyone gets 10 cents. $100/month? $1 each.

    It didnt catch on, likely due to processing fees, but I always liked that idea. Signing up for dozens or hundreds of patrons/ghosts/etc is just too hard to manage and fund, but if I and several million other people could hand out pennies a month, it might really matter to small artists/journalists.

    Maybe now with some countries that allow payments with no fees, it might work.
