Springsteen from “Badlands” “Poor man wanna be rich Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied 'Til he rules everything”

Adam Weiner: “Joy can be an act of resistance.”

Hey, everyone, if you are wondering why that weird asshole didn’t show up to the July 4th picnic this year, he’s in DC with his incel buddies.

Yeah, America!

It's a hard thing to find amidst all of today's noise. You could do worse than to listen to a bunch of immigrants' kids named Springsteen and Morello and Van Zandt and Weinberg. That's what I'm listening to and thinking about on this Fourth. 6/

Some semiquincentennial thoughts while listening to the stuff that gives me hope on a day such as this... The America I'm celebrating today is the America of the artists, the writers, the singers. 1/

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!

“this train, dreams will not be thwarted This train, faith will be rewarded This train, the steel wheels singing This train, bells of freedom ringing” -Bruce Springsteen

“I docked at Ellis Island in the city of light and spire/ I wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire/ We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands/ We made our home in the American land” - Bruce Springsteen, American Land

For today, Happy 4th. youtube.com/watch?v=pJ7n...

Apparently at Hillsdale and Prager they don’t go all the way up to Federalist 39.

i stopped going to a mechanic who put up a new sign with four american flags on it bc that meant something specific. but it's not their flag and we can take it back. from the front page of brucespringsteen.net.

I remember in 2000 when Dennis Hastert's House Republicans did this Rough Rider backdrop bit. So, one, it makes you wonder why the White House is doing lame repeats on photo ops. And, two, it makes you think about what else Trump and Denny Hastert have in common.

Starting to think Karp is a comedian doing an elaborate Ali G kind of thing every time he goes on TV

By itself, this is both impeachable and cause for radical reform. The GOP Supreme Court does not even bother to explain the majority of its decisions. It's apparently too much to ask they at least barf up dishonest, unprincipled, poorly-reasoned excuses for their arbitrary exercise of power.

I remember when it was a norm that you had to have experience and maybe an accomplishment or two to be considered for the Vice Presidency. Vance = the lightest lightweight

The Vice President of the United States (the least qualified one in modern American history) is a smug loser.

If you see this, post your mentor.

Ok - if you think that Vance is smart, you are doing so based on zero direct evidence. He’s pretty damn dumb.

I guess Little Sebastian dropped out?

Born in the U.S.A. The Supreme Court just affirmed the 14th amendment, stating those born in America, are US citizens. Thank you ACLU and Bruce Springsteen. 🥲

A year a half a ago, this professor made a plainly false statement that “an entire literature” existed— it didn’t—and then got multiple justices to buy into the historical fiction he backfilled, covering 800 years in a few weeks. A bastardized history, not in the search for truth, but for power.

Justice Jackson’s concurrence is dead on: “The distortion of historical facts—retellings that reimagine and repurpose past events to lend credence to misbegotten aims— may be an even greater threat."

Hey, NJ-7, Kean and his staff have been incredibly disrespectful to you during these several months. Act accordingly.

The SCOTUS today reaffirmed the guarantee of birthright citizenship. In so doing, it affirms the 1898 SCOTUS decision in Won Kim Ark. United States. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Big news from SCOTUS today: Donald Trump Loses Like a Loser

This exactly. The fact that 4 current justices will not follow the plain meaning of the Constitution means that we need fundamental court reform. Thomas and Alito, especially, should never each have had one-ninth of the power of one of our branches.

This is why you don't impose illegal taxes in the first place. And why, if you're a court, you issue an injunction until you can rule on their disputed validity.

What do you think would happen if he told Trump to walk 20 mins a day?

This should be the legacy of Roberts’ abject failure - a reformed court that America can believe in
