A year ago today I was on my way to Milan to catch the last night of Bruce Springsteen’s Land of Hope Dreams tour to Europe. When I sat down to write about it a whole lotta other stuff came to mind. So here it is, with photos and vids. #Springsteen

A plea to my fellow professionals in the media. Please put Trump’s racism on the top of your news agendas? Where is it? The leader of the “free world” is using his racism to make all of our lives worse instead of better. A racist is a threat to us all. Whatever else he is doing, holds no worth.

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.

For weeks, Elon Musk promoted Nigel Farage’s insurgent, anti-immigrant party, Reform U.K., as the answer to Britain’s problems. On Sunday, he had a sudden change of heart about Farage as its leader.

The Conservatives spent only a quarter of the money they allocated to levelling up.
They were dedicated to the rhetoric, but not the reality.
