"If it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, acts like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism and lies like fascism, boys & girls it's fucking fascism. It's here, it's now, it's in my city, it's in your city and it must be resisted, protested, defended against, stood up to, exposed, ousted, overthrown and driven out. By you and by me."
"overthrown and driven out. By you and by me. We are coming to Minneapolis where the people have heroically stood up against ICE, stood up against Trump, stood up against this terrible rising tide of state terror. Where the people have stood up for their neighbors and themselves, for democracy and justice. Ain't nobody coming to save us except us and it's now or never."
A benefit concert called A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota took place at Minneapolis' First Avenue to raise money for the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Performers included Tom Morello, Rise Against, Al Di Meola, and Ike Reilly, with Bruce Springsteen appearing as a surprise guest. Springsteen debuted the anti-ICE protest song "Streets of Minneapolis", joined Morello on "The Ghost of Tom Joad", and joined a group cover of John Lennon's "Power to the People". Morello performed "Killing in the Name" and a rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land", joined by Rise Against, Reilly, and Di Meola. Rise Against covered Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World".
