Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Enough is enough.

TODAY! let’s rise up and exercise our First Amendment rights to protest, to assemble, to speak — to demand accountability, justice, and the protection of our communities and freedoms.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Tonight! National faith call to action. Link in comments. Or visit @truahrabbis.bsky.social @interfaithalliance.org

ICE agents killed another person today. Video is circulating and details are still emerging.

But what is clear is that this administration fully supports ICE and protects them when they commit murder.

ICE agents will continue to execute our citizens in the streets for as long as they believe they can get away it. There will be more executions like this. What are our leaders doing to prevent it?

Ha!

NYC shows up in solidarity with MN! Proud to be there.

STAND WITH NURSES ⚕️ ✊

Over 15,000 union nurses are on the picket line largest nurse strike in NYC history.

Why? Because if the nurses are outside, something is wrong inside 🧵

Thousands rally in Union Square, NYC, standing in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis-St. Paul.

NYC standing in solidarity with MN.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Proud to be standing in solidarity with the nurses on strike in NYC today! They are demanding contracts with safe staffing ratios, guaranteed healthcare benefits for frontline nurses, and protections from workplace violence. Follow @nynurses.bsky.social and support!

Love this work to honor #MLK and #MLKDay with community resilience work “in neighborhoods that experience extreme weather from the urban heat island effect and flooding.”

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Really important reporting by the @nytimes.com on cuts to science and health research funding. This is terrible and regressive. Please read. #science #publichealth

I loved celebrating @emergeamerica.bsky.social @ashantigholar.bsky.social, and the incredible Emerge congressional caucus yesterday. Congratulations on 20 years of electing democratic women to office!!!

They are betting on our fear and our silence. We can’t let them win!

Opinion | The Constitution Doesn’t Belong to Trump or the Supreme Court

Read this excellent piece by Prof Kate Andrias, legal and social movement scholar: “Our Constitution is not dying. It is waiting — waiting for us to claim it.” 🔥💫

Republican politicians are raising costs and making health insurance out of reach for millions. This is why we fight.

NO KINGS NYC!!! Oct 18.

Opinion | What Chuck Schumer Can Learn From Bad Bunny

Don’t manipulate people with anger/fear. Listen, lead, and give them what they want: healthcare, law enforcement that doesn’t zip tie children, elected officials who do their jobs (Congress is supposed to have power of the purse/declare war - not the President.)

His priority isn’t you, it’s chaos and cruelty.
He’d rather shut it all down than stop your healthcare costs from going through the roof.

Unprecedented: Trump has pulled the US out of its UN human rights review Every four-and-a-half years, on a revolving basis, each of the 193 member countries  of the United Nations submits a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on its domestic human rights record…

Deeply disturbing.
