One year ago today, President Biden and Vice President Harris hosted the United We Stand Summit to counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety, highlight the response of the Biden-Harris Administration and communities nationwide to these dangers, and put forward a shared, bipartisan vision for a more united America. Hate must have no safe harbor in America. Even as our nation has endured a disturbing series of hate-fueled attacks-from Jacksonville to Oak Creek to Orlando, Charleston, Pittsburgh, El Paso, Atlanta, Buffalo, and beyond -Americans of all beliefs and political affiliations remain overwhelmingly united in their opposition to such violence.

Scene from 'Marupok AF' For actress Maris Racal, the most challenging part about making Quark Henares' romantic comedy 'Marupok AF' (Where is the Lie?)—which delves into the topic of 'catfishing'—was to make sure that its message is relayed to its audience correctly. The film retells the story of a young trans woman named Jzan Tero, whose Twitter thread about how she got catfished by two people went viral in 2020. 'Marupok AF' follows Jansen Torres (EJ Jallorina), who finds what she believes to be true love with Theo Balmaceda (Royce Cabrera) on a dating app.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding taxpayers to consider capital gains tax (CGT) when you own investments like a rental property, shares and crypto assets. ATO Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh said the ATO is seeing mistakes made where people are incorrectly claiming the full main residence exemption when selling their home. 'Generally, your main residence (your home) is exempt from CGT, but if you've used it to produce income, such as renting out all or part of it, including through the sharing economy, like through Airbnb or Stayz, or running a business from home, then you may have to pay CGT.
