Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake. The Boss's artistic identity has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a businessman

Ban this PoS and his shitty app already.

Excellent and hopeful article by @brynntannehill.bsky.social for @thebulwark.com.

Big hugs kween.

For spectators to just not go seems like a low cost given what I think are the stakes.

Baffling to me that Europe hasn’t boycotted this event en masse.

This me.

Ukraine should just start a new EU and a new NATO and let us all beg to join.
