Bruce Springsteen is on tour in Europe. He’s doing his part to speak truth to power while keeping the American dream he sings of alive.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

“What keeps me up at night is that when the state or federal government goes so far to target immigrants, we see the floodgates of private hatred open up.”
"'The law was someone’s xenophobic dream, but they went so far in their illegality that they said you can’t have water, sewage, or electrical services unless you prove your citizenship,' Karen Tumlin told The Bulwark." A cautionary tale from Alabama:
Alabama Tried a Trump-Like ‘Frankenstein’ Immigration Overhaul. It Ended Badly.
The 2011 law provides some warning signs for MAGA.

Anyone out there ever work in Treasury Payments? I'm curious if this is actually the case:

The Secure Payment System (SPS) employs a strict separation of duties as a core security measure.

The point of the ? Is to know how many people are required to approve a payment and where are they located

Same here, even though my divorce with X was last week. I liked Jeff’s visual connection so much, I decided to pass it on for all of us formerly known as Twitter users
Deleted my X account today, blue skies ahead!
