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.

Stay free

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

Europe is all about the World Cup... so it's striking that a plurality of Germans (47%, versus 35% who oppose) say they'd favor Germany not participating in the World Cup if Trump attacks Greennland. www.bild.de/politik/inla...

For all the left shits on incrementalism, we've seen what a *lack* of incrementalism does: it's backsliding.

If you always choose to punish the people who improve things, albeit slowly, they'll be replaced by people who destroy things, not people who accomplish everything all at once.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the millions of Jews and other minorities murdered during the Holocaust under the Nazis and victims of all genocides. We stand against the evils of prejudice, discrimination and racism in all its forms.

#WeRemember

You got there , USA, to the stage of regime toadies saying “I was totally against this all along”

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the atrocities of the past and our shared responsibility to educate people and ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten.

By listening to survivors and passing their stories on, we bridge generations and stand united against antisemitism and hate. #HMD

US links security guarantees for Ukraine to peace deal ceding territory Washington signalled Kyiv would receive more backing after any withdrawal from the Donbas, say people familiar with talks

US pressures Ukraine to give up territory as a condition for security guarantees. The vehement reaction by the White House to this story (see quote) underscores its validity

There's another way to look at this. ICE is doing everything the military manual tells you not to do to civilian populations because it creates insurgencies where none existed before.

Man mentions his “Spanish conquistador ancestors” and all I can think about is Antonio Bandera’s gold-mad character in Paddington in Peru.
Most of them were losers who couldn’t cut it in Spain.

Yeah. For those afraid that there won't be the political will among elected Dems to deal with this problem because not everyone is saying the same words right now, take it from anonymous ICE people: "yeah we're doomed".

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

In a sworn affidavit, a physician who witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti says agents did not attempt lifesaving measures on Pretti:

"None of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR… ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds."

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Reform is basically a suburban petrol station's DVD bin of Tory politicians.

Is she daring them to put boots on the ground?
I seriously think Maduro was extracted in coordination with Rodriguez and her cadre. And that they are confident enough that they can cause US casualties if an actual invasion was attempted.

NEW: Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK, shocking the many people who were sure that she had already.

You don’t have to love everything outlets like the Times or Atlantic do to understand that:
-many talented people of good faith work for most mainstream outlets
-their platforms are vastly larger than ours

Our resistance will die in secrecy or win by rallying the world to our side

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

For anyone who’s seen Peacemaker, this is the Nazi timeline in the second season.

A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet).

But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings.

The lesson: let the world see.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Hearing an elderly relative, who lives in South America. “They MURDERED him, and ICU nurse. He was only holding a phone. And do you know how difficult it is to train and become an ICU nurse? How skilled he was? This is like the paramilitary murders in Bolivia (in the 1960’s.)”

I don't think this is the case. Many European security researchers are alarmed precisely because of their deep investment in US networks and communication with US colleagues, many of whom are telling us to be concerned and to seek out alternatives for the sake of our own security.

Reform wants to usher a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Exactly the same thing BBC and Sky did with Renee Nicole Good. "A says X, but B says Y." Sure, but Y is on actual fkn video, so maybe just watch it.
