Springsteen also hates how much the services drive up his ticket prices, so if you’re savvy you get on a listserv sponsored by his fans. They and springsteen’s team buy up tickets early then sell them at actual face value just before a show. I got some AMAZING seats in DC for a show once.

14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Seems pretty clear to me.

Our world gets better because of curiosity and SCIENCE.

Bruce Springsteen gave a rousing five-minute sermon about the “corruption in the White House,” calling out Attorney General Pam Bondi by name and ultimately imploring, “Let’s fight for the America we love. Are you with us?” The crowd of nearly 20,000 exploded.

This!! I learned about the devastating effects of petroleum pollution way back in the 1970's! You can be sure petroleum companies knew their 'cash cow' would kill people and our planet long before I did.

As someone who studies politicization of democratic militaries this statement on X is a five- alarm fire. It creates an undeniable permission structure for overt partisan behavior by mil. It's part of a concerted effort by civilian leaders to turn the U.S. military into a partisan aligned force.

Trump started trade wars with his tariffs, a war in Iran and a war on U.S. citizens but seems to have plenty of time to golf and sit in on the Supreme Court. I guess we should be thankful he doesn't spend more time fucking us over.

President Donald Trump's administration has developed a fresh plan to slash the workforce at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by about two thirds, stepping back from earlier efforts to get rid of nearly 90% of all employees, court documents showed.

Think about this: A retired game show host may end the world as we know it. Only a master satirist could write this scenario, but Mark Twain is dead.

Women have definitely proven themselves over the decades. #SheShed #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

How strong a force we COULD be if all women #United Sadly it will never happen until women support each other and listen in the present to issues we face and tackle as one. The day women stop picking fights with other women and fight for justice for women as a united force will be historic.
