Springsteen releases new song: "Streets of Minneapolis":
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst...
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst...
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Alex Honnold just climbed Taipei 101 live on Netflix and I had some immediate thoughts about that and have a newsletter through which I can express those thoughts! Because it's cool as hell, and that viewing came at the end of a couple weeks of watching a bunch of climbing docs.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

It’s true that some MAGA supporters are losing faith in Trump and expressing frustration. But evidence and trends suggest they’re flocking to explicit Fascists and growing more radicalized.
We can’t just sit back and hope. We have to fight.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

The fact that the people who make drinking water safe are being fired is in itself a major story. Water borne diseases are absolutely no joke. It should be the easiest thing in the world to make this into a major headline!
