As a predispositioned Springsteen fan, I agree.

As a longtime Springsteen non-fan, I can only say, fuck yes to this.

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.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.  ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including
citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them
ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the
president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal
government doesn't act extrajudicially.
Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

Tired
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two - And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

The image is a 6 panel black and white comic

Panel 1- "Theory: Animals can sense your emotions"

Panel 2- A cat walks in through an open doorway

Panel 3- from the cats view, we see a person laying on their bed, with a huge cloud of anxiety radiating off of them

Panel 4- The person notices the cat in the room

Panel 5- The person holds out their hand and says "C'mere kitty"

Panel 6- The cat is honestly perturbed by the amount of anxiety coming off of this person

@trashnightvideo.bsky.social

Tonight's screening carries with it several existential questions:
- Will overzealous DMCA bots fatally misidentify our stream—again?
- How does "stultifying eye infection" affect "movie night production"?
- What is "Australia"?

Let's find out, together, at 7:30PM EST: www.twitch.tv/trashnightvi...
