Bruce Springsteen Condemns King Trumps Private Army in ICE Protest Song Dedicated to Minneapolis
King Trump's private army from the DHS / Guns belted to their coats / Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law / Or so their story goes, Springsteen sings. And there were bloody footprints / Where mercy should have stood / And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets / Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Among the best comments I heard on TV
Stephanie Ruhle - the CEOs may be silent but the real Boss has spoken.
This must be pissing off the murderous vulgarian and his goons big time.
I want to hear everyone singing this.

Through the winters ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
Neath an occupiers boots
King Trumps private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawns early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Well take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of 26
Well remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trumps federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just dont believe your eyes
Its our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noems dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
Well remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say theyre here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In chants of ICE out now
Our citys heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of 26
Well take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Well remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Well remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

I'm not complaining. In a way I feel like it cleanses and releases some anger and bitterness.
