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

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.

DHS is supposed to protect us, not instill fear and chaos on Americans. It’s time for Donald Trump to fire Kristi Noem, if not the House must impeach her immediately.

Another reason to boycott Walmart The nation's largest retailer isn't just backtracking on diversity. It's also backtracking on cleaning up its messes.

For one Iranian family and their church, Trump's refugee freeze leaves son in exile (RNS) β€”Β In California, a church had worked for years to help an Iranian family in their congregation bring their son to the US. He had all but boarded a flight when the freeze came.

Here's a story about a Christian refugee from Iran who has been left in limbo by our current policies: religionnews.com/2025/03/14/f...

I thought I heard Scott Galloway quoting @musaalgharbi.bsky.social in his interview with Gavin Newsom. The data about young women, men and marriage came right out of *We Have Never Been Woke*!

Yes, but can you explain "gold rehypothecation" to me?

It's not news, but sure is discouraging: 78% of evangelical Protestant clergy (in a survey conducted in 2019-20) rejected the scientific consensus that the climate is changing and that human actions are a major cause of that change. See static1.squarespace.com/static/65417...

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
