‘Streets of Minneapolis’

28 January 2026

I never thought I’d share a link to a Bruce Springsteen song, but here we are:

Their claim was self-defense, 
Just don’t believe your eyes. 
It’s our blood and bones and these whistles and phones 
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies.

PS: I don’t know how I would feel about sharing this on ECC – or actually I do know – if I wouldn’t have jumped the first day after the election of Trump 2 and applied for my US citizenship. I had my interview and swearing-in the day after the Inauguration in 2025. I’m a US citizen now, skin in the game. No more idle* bystander.

* was never really idle, but always felt like I was an outsider trying to share stories and perspectives from far away lands (and histories). Now I’m really here and still can’t believe what I signed up for.

ICE OUT!
