From @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. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free, Bruce Springsteen

TEXAS FLOOD VICTIMS: “Trump & Abbott told us we’d have every resource we need — we got an 8% property tax hike… our warning was screaming down the road… assistance from our local government re: rebuilding has been nonexistent…”
Abandoned.
As TX Republicans grab power.
As usual, Republicans will never take accountability for their actions, either at the state or federal levels. It is the same story every time, too early, and thoughts and prayers.
Here is @thematthewcooke with his thoughts. 💯

The death toll in Texas is now 32, including several children. Republicans blaming the National Weather Service for this catastrophe is shameful. They know who is to blame, but bc America is now a fascist authoritarian country, they fear telling the truth.
A woman says armed ICE agents stormed her family’s home in Oklahoma, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings.
They are U.S. citizens who were not even the people the federal agents were looking for.
The suspects listed on the warrant do not live in the house.
The woman had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her three daughters about two weeks earlier.
Absolutely heartbreaking and appalling stuff from Donald Trump’s administration.
