When I interviewed Steve Van Zandt a few years ago, he memorably said the only way to defeat Trump and his henchmen would be for “the tough good guys” to make a stand. I put it to you that Springsteen is doing that right now. 🫡
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.

Schumer Accused of 'Downright Complicity' as ICE Reform Plan Draws Backlash | Common Dreams
"With Trump’s ICE murdering our neighbors, kidnapping children, and terrorizing our streets, do Senate Democrats want to be remembered as fighters or as complicit?" asked one advocate.

FFS, is Congress awake! Why did it take NPR to find this out? What are you doing for your six-figure salary, all the perks and benefits that the average American does not get it really is a mystery.

The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules
The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

Dems: DHS/ICE NEEDS TO BE DEFUNDED. SHUT DOWN THIS PARAMILITARY FORCE THAT IS USING GESTPO TACTICS!
The DHS budget needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate!
DEMS HAVE GOT TO HOLD FIRM & PREVENT PASSAGE OF DHS’S BUDGET. Otherwise you SUPPORT ICE’S GESTAPO TACTICS IN MN!
NO WAVERING! Any Dem who does gets kicked out of party. If this closes Trump’s corrupt govt so be it!

Congress do your jobs. Fight for us or else. This isn't a request, it's a demand. You have congressional oversight authority afforded to you by our Constitution. Anyone preventing you from that authority is a traitor to the constitution and should be tried as such. The penalty for treason is death.

Quite the conundrum for the 47 Nazis.
So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

America, we have reached a moment when silence is no longer acceptable.
Heavily armed forces—funded and directed by the Republican Party—are attacking and killing American citizens.
Trump and his administration must be removed from power immediately. Impeachment cannot wait.

Sen. Angus King: "I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under these circumstances"

Nailed it.
They. Don't. Care. What. The. Law. Says.
We're at that stage.
(Thank John Roberts.)
It's helpful to stop thinking of him as president and think of him as Generalissimo.
And those ICE goons clearly aren't agents of *law enforcement* -- they're agents of law abridgement.
The masks were the tell.
