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.

@GovKathyHochul we’re counting on you to close the state’s largest landfill when it’s full this December, not let Texas owned Waste Connections trash Seneca Falls for another 15 years. #shutitdown

Upstate NY groups demand Hochul stop delaying decision on permitless Bitcoin gas plant The state environmental agency denied a cryptomining company an air permit three years ago. It's been running ever since.

Waiting to see if @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social will put people over plastic next week or not. Sure hope he does not side with the plastics and chemical industry.

Plastic is made with 16,000 chemicals, more than a quarter of which are known to be toxic to humans. Time to put people's health over plastic and chemical industry profits by passing the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act A1749 in the NYS Assembly. This critical legislation would ban the use of 17 of the most toxic chemicals in packaging, including lead, mercury, cadmium, PFAS chemicals, phthalates, bisphenols like BPA and BPS, furans, formaldehyde, halogenated flame retardants and more. Urge your NYS Assemblymember to vote YES on A1749 before the legislative session ends on June 17. Call now at: https://bit.ly/people-over-plastic

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."
