Did you know these artists wrote anti-Trump protest songs? Bruce Springsteen has spent decades writing about social issues, and he continued that legacy with ‘Streets of Minneapolis.’ Written after the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement operation, the track marks a return to his classic protest style, criticizing the Trump administration's policies while honoring those affected by ICE brutality. Billy Bragg also added to his long history of protest music with ‘City of Heroes,’ a song inspired by the events in Minneapolis. Echoing the famous words from Pastor Martin Niemöller’s poem, ‘First They Came,’ Bragg used the track to stand with immigrants, refugees, and communities fighting back against injustice.
