Liberal lion Bruce Springsteen led the lineup at the Minneapolis-St. Paul branch of the No Kings rallies taking place in cities across America on Saturday.
The events were set up to express left-wing opposition to various Trump administration policies, including the ICE raids and the Iran War.
Minneapolis was a nexus of anti-ICE demonstrations at the start of this year, with outrage against the government intensifying after two protestors - Alex Pretti and Renee Good - were killed in encounters with federal law enforcement.
Springsteen, a longtime Democrat who opened Joe Biden's inauguration special and has been a vociferous critic of Donald Trump, released a song on January called Streets of Minneapolis as a reaction to the bloodshed.
He performed the song this Saturday during the rally held the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, which is one of the 'Twin Cities' along with neighboring Minneapolis.
'Well, this past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city,' Springsteen trumpeted onstage.
At Saturday's No Kings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, the trio of Rogers, Baez and Morello performed Bob Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changin'

I asked a liberal about that this week; her first response was that he is signing the currency! I suppose the next dem president will declare all of the TrumpBucks to be worthless like Confederate money.

Apparently, America elects its king every 4 years, how oppressive.
I thought we were an autonomous collective.
Driving across Porland OR saw one No Kings protestor on a single overpass.
If they don’t like kings, they should also protest against the queens.
Love it, so true!
Bruce Springsteen trying to cling to some sort of fame futile his tribe of half wits seeking some camera time too.
That’s nice, Grampa Bruce. How about we get you back to bed now?
I went to DC for Reagan’s funeral and a reporter, local I think, came up to me and asked about the protesters. I told him, “Protesters against Reagan are good in a way because it means they are free enough to be stupid”. He was stunned and I don’t know if it aired or not. Probably not.
“ We used to say “never trust anyone over 30”
I never once, back in the 80’s, thought it would be great to listen to musicians who are in their 80’s!!
Yet here we are and these old geezers just will not retire…
I feel like Trump does things like the currency things out pure trollism. He acknowledges the TDS and feeds the TDS. And liberals fall for it everytime.
That crappy lesbian is at it again?
Or this one in Beverly Hills?
These people just beg to lick the boot that stomps them. It's a fetish for them. They crave it.
“If Bruce Springsteen is so opposed to “kings”, why does live in a mansion like this one on 127 acres in rural New Jersey?”
He has beehives and sheep there so that most of the acres are paying low low agricultural taxes. John Bon Jovi and Steven Forbes the same. Both in New Jersey of course!
“That crappy lesbian is at it again?”
He made himself into a clown Mr. Clean by wearing 2x earrings for years. I think he ditched them recently. They were very visible.
He was also a big Shining Path groupie.
