"In his masterful FILTH EATERS, Romo conjures a vampire epic across epochs and continents that would’ve shook Vlad, Dracula, Nosferatu, and Lestat to their bones, culminating in a Mestizoavatar of the undead who completes an occult destiny—to save the world. Try to be un-shook."
--John Philip Santos

Bruce Springsteen’s STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS
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.

Does anyone have any good resources for talking to kids about ICE? My 10yo is panicking about our friends and neighbors, and I feel maybe 75% equipped for honest but age-appropriate conversations and 25% way over my head.
