Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

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. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Itโ€™s a momentous day in California. adult adoptees can request and receive their original birth certificate. ๐Ÿ™Œ
A bill has passed the CA senate too. It still has other steps, so probably 2028โ€ฆ
Iโ€™m a 61 yo adoptee, the government keeping details of ME, an adult American, from ME, is ridiculous.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you donโ€™t have to cover him like heโ€™s normal anymore.

Trump administration bans abortion care for veterans The policy will even apply in states that protect abortion rights.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has banned abortion for veterans, including in states that protect abortion. This was a Project 2025 recommendattion and it's now been fulfilled. So much for "leaving it to the states."

I am working with Sen. Graham to pass legislation to help bring home thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. Standing with Ukraine means confronting the cruelty of taking kids from their families and making clear why we must stay united against Putinโ€™s aggression.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
