As of now (6:15 pm on 29 January 2026 in Basel), Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Minneapolis", which he wrote after the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents and released yesterday, has been viewed over 2.8 million times on YouTube. My favorite lines come at the end of the second stanza: "It’s our blood and bones / And these whistles and phones / Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies." In his own protest song, released yesteraday in response to those events, "City of Heroes", Billy Bragg also referred to the tools of these protests: "They use tear gas and pepper spray / Against our whistles and our phones." (Andrew Shields, #111words, 29 January 2026)
