Did I see him on X files?

YouTube video by Manchester Evening News Bruce Springsteen's blistering Donald Trump attack at Manchester Show

Last night, Bruce Springsteen gave a speech to his audience in Manchester, England.
He explained what’s going on in the US and pulled no punch.

If we’re going to talk about fentanyl every day, let’s learn to pronounce it. (Hint: it’s not “fen-tuh-nahl “

“Uncovering fraud and waste” is a ludicrous statement. The $$savings from all those salaries when all those people were fired does not add up to any kind of discovery.

I agree, it’s repulsive. Also a very slippery slope. Neurodivergence is a divergence, not flaws. Are we going to be asking doctors to violate confidentiality and submit lists? To what end? After we’re done with people on the spectrum, are we going to catalog people in other ways?

He’s mad: you should eff off

The Gila Cliff Dwellings. A national monument in the Gila National Forest. The volunteers that keep it clean and are so informative were fantastic. #1 on my hierarchy of outrages: the possible loss of our public lands. #nps

Our book club selection for this month. And that’s saying something: we have such a hard time deciding!

On Passover, we tie the oppression of our people to the struggles of all people.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a US legal resident, has a family here, a judge ordered he not be sent to El Salvador, was deported in error, and SCOTUS has ordered him returned.

None of us is free until all are free. 🕯️

I came here looking for the final product! And I am not disappointed.

Not true, Joshy. The left knows exactly who tariffs are hurting.

Right after “please let him be dead, or in a coma”

In my head it’s usually “do I dare look to see what assholery he’s up to today?”

Go simple: FUCK MUSK

They had to negotiate and pay El Salvador to get them to do this. That door is now closed? They’re not trying.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Has anyone in the media reported on how the tariffs will damage the mass printing of books? For instance manga and its many colorful editions?

How do I get paid? I go to protests only when I’m angry! But if I could get paid I’d protest everything!!

Agreed. They gladly fired 1000s of people without even knowing what they did at their jobs. Major screwup: fire him now.

Assuming he has one.

The biggest problem is the first sentence: “I have determined…”. Using what metric? The “You were mean to me” yardstick? Guess we’re finding out our checks and balances are not enough. Of course, nobody ever thought someone like Trump would actually be elected.

That’s a lot of zeroes

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY.
David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

So the weather forecast will now be “chance of rain” or “kinda sunny” based on somebody looking out a window? Oh and lemme guess: Elon has a forecasting program we can buy.

Or complaining we weren’t grateful enough.

It’s the wrong approach all right.

If democrats ever wrest control of the government again, can we get rid of the “executive order”??

It was bad enough for Trump to be a babbling fool. He’s taken it to a whole new level.
