As many of you know, Bruce Springsteen's anti-ICE protest song, "The Streets of Minneapolis", has reached #1 in 19 countries. I purchased the song in support of him and the resistance for which it stands. I'm playing it and one of his albums on YouTube every day. Solidarity.

Follow and Support them. Will post 5 today, in no order.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Now here's a BB truth bomb. Just as they do EVERY fucking election the GOP is going to start purging voting roles. So, instead of gnashing our teeth and wringing our hands make sure you are registered to vote and haven't been purged.
