On this day in 1987, Bruce Springsteen released ‘Tunnel of Love,’ a deeply personal look at love, doubt, marriage and heartbreak, featuring “Brilliant Disguise,” “Tunnel of Love,” “One Step Up,” “Tougher Than the Rest” and “Spare Parts.” Still a stunning listen.

This was Special Counsel Jack Smith yesterday at the ‘Power to the People’ concert and wearing a Springsteen/No Kings shirt with people wanting to shake his hand. American hero. 💙👊

Justice Alito is confusing a desire to reform the court with an effort to intimidate it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Jack Smith smiling at a concert. It was said he was congenial and happy to be with the crowd. I have never seen him smile.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

#MorningVibe dravonrangel.com teaches us the meaning of “woke”. They weaponized ‘woke’ because awake people ask questions, recognize patterns, remember history, and feel another’s pain. Get woke, stay woke. It’s go time.
