Bruce Springsteen released a protest song called “Streets of Minneapolis” to condemn the violence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis and memorialize the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
They’re calling them “Melt the ICE” hats, and the shop is selling digital patterns for $5 for both knitters and crocheters to make their own, and since launching the project, they have raised over $250,000 through the sale of the patterns.
All of the funds are being donated to STEP Emergency Assistance, which provides legal aid and rent assistance to those in a suburb of Minneapolis, and the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund, “a coalition of 32 philanthropic leaders rooted in communities most impacted by immigration-related harm.”

As people look to drink less alcohol or cut it out of their routine completely, interest in low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers has grown significantly over the last decade.
In fact, a new survey from the British Beer and Pub Association shows that 86% of pubs across England now serve no- and low-alcohol beer.
And as the demand grows, so does the market. Mainstream companies like Heineken and Guinness have offered up “zero point zero” alternatives to popular brews, and breweries like Athletic Brewing Company and BERO have devoted their entire line-up to non-alcoholic craft brews.
