Now: Bruce Springsteen sings “Streets of Minneapolis” in 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 Directed by Thom Zimny Edited by Thom Zimny and Samuel Shapiro Production Footage: Pam Springsteen and Thom Zimny

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

Great performance against the European champions and the ref who was disgraceful. We were the better team. Eddie tactically destroyed Enrique.

Go on mad dog. Give the ref some grief.

I’m made up for Joe Willock. So much bad luck with injury. What a moment for him.

We deserve that.

That’s a penalty. If the first one is. This is a joke.

Even by the standards of modern teams PSG dive a lot.

This ref has no idea what he’s doing.

Nick Pope!! Justice done. I hope that’s not a sign that the refereeing will be corrupt all evening.

What a load of crap. It’s handled by the PSG player first.

VAR is corrupt.

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

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

The World Cup and Olympics cannot possibly go ahead in the USA.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed. As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

What a finish Harvey Barnes.

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on a simple, enduring truth: "The time is always right to do what is right." His words continue to challenge us to meet the moment — whatever it asks of us.

There is an intersectional fundamental to policy, particularly when focused on marginalised communities. Attacks on migrants, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled individuals, autistic individuals etc. Condemnation of those in poverty and struggling. They all relate to each other. 1/

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Bizarre article: “A decision being technically right is not necessarily what the game wants in this context.” No because the decision being right meant it went against City, which obviously we can’t have as the obnoxious Pep must always get his way.

How did Haaland not get booked for that.

Very obviously offside. He’s not in popes way. He definitely is in thiaw’s way

City sub wandering along the touchline in his blue top no bib. Might have put Barnes off a little there.

In both this intervention and the piece I posted earlier on re realists and idealists in Government, the tone is very similar. You people with your values and ethics are all children. We, the grown ups, don't bother with all that. We are clever. Ok, what does your ultimate society look like?

Bullshit Musk has done so much to harm the scientific process, funding and public health. In modern society you cannot avoid making judgements. By retaining him they are making a judgement.

Trump is a debasement vortex. All who encounter him enticed into debasing themselves ever more for no return.

The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets. It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

Wow was not prepared for how unwatchable the cricket would be this morning. Matt Potts running in and deliberately bowling half trackers while Bethell lobs up loopy ones at the other end. Oh and learn to catch.

If you a promoting your substack there you are helping this. If you are shitposting for laughs over there, you are helping this. If you are posting there because the chat in your field is better you are helping this…

Great tackle Gordon. Ref no idea what he’s doing.

Great defending Thiaow.

Adjusting to the fact that the US is no longer our ally but actively seeking to undermine us, European democracies we are allied to, will take a lot of money, time, risk and the voters deserve to have such a large challenge explained to them so they can decide whether they are up for it.

So this makes a lot of sense. It was a penalty but var were right not to tell the ref to have a look. Mad. And the 2 panel members that thought it was “robust shoulder to shoulder contact, with the ball in playing distance”, should take up a different sport.

Very interesting. Also tells me the most dangerous political grouping for the centre left are those in its own tribe that think acknowledgement of difficult political tradeoffs is a sign of weakness, or of being captured by the Right Establishment. Those are the people who have turned.... 1/

Gotta feel for Dubs.

I already agree with this in principle - citizenship is an untouchable status or it is nothing - but also for reasons of prudence. “The Home Sec can revoke citizenship when he/she deems someone’s online output sufficiently offensive” is a v dangerous precedent to set with Reform leading all polls.

Reformer Josephine Butler (1828-1906, b. Northumberland), died on this day 1906. Arguably most effective campaigner for women’s rights of her time. She ended coverture (whereby woman’s legal rights were subsumed by her husband’s), criminalised child prostitution and human trafficking.

“Elon Musk isn’t a scientist. He’s a billionaire con man with a checkbook.” — AOC And she’s right. Buying engineers doesn’t make you one. It just makes you rich enough to cosplay genius while other people do the work.

This is genuinely the shittiest refereeing performance this season.

Blatant penalty.

It’s International Migrants Day, and let’s never stop fighting for a world where anyone can move if they want to, and no-one is forced to move if they don’t want to

There’s going to be a red card in this game. Ref far too free and easy with the yellows.
