    Tom Morello Hails Minneapolis As “An Inspiration” During Anti-ICE Protest Show With Bruce Springsteen & Rise Against

    The Mosh Network - Tom Morello at the LA No Kings protest 2025

    Minneapolis, MN played host to a politically charged night of music and protest on January 30th as Tom Morello, Rise Against, and surprise guest Bruce Springsteen took the stage at First Avenue for a concert billed as “A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota.”

    The event was organized in response to recent actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and policies under President Donald J. Trump, and also aimed to support the families of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, both killed in ICE-involved incidents earlier this month. All proceeds from the show went directly to these families.

    Although Al Di Meola and Ike Reilly were advertised as performers, Springsteen’s surprise appearance electrified the crowd. Earlier this week, Springsteen debuted his anti-ICE protest song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” which he performed live for the first time at the event.

    Prior to performing, Morello delivered a passionate speech addressing the crowd:

    “Brothers and sisters, thank you for welcoming us to the battle of Minneapolis. My friends, if it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, acts like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism and lies like fascism, brothers and sisters, it’s f*cking 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 who? By you. By me.”

    “Minneapolis is an inspiration to the entire nation. You have heroically stood up against ICE, stood up against Trump, stood up against this terrible rising tide of state terror. You’ve stood up for your neighbors and for yourselves and for democracy and for justice. Ain’t nobody coming to save us, except us. And brothers and sisters, you are showing the way.”

    “To that end, we would like to begin our program with an old Native American war chant. We encourage you to sing along, in this very room Prince created a revolution, now it’s our turn.”

    Morello’s set blended politically charged anthems from across his career, including Rage Against The Machine classics, Audioslave covers, and solo material. Highlights included:

    • “Killing In The Name” (Rage Against The Machine cover)
    • “Soldier In The Army Of Love”
    • “Hold The Line”
    • “One Man Revolution”
    • “Keep Going”
    • Rage Against The Machine medley: “Bombtrack / Know Your Enemy / Bulls On Parade / Guerilla Radio / Sleep Now In The Fire / Bullet In The Head”
    • Audioslave covers: “Cochise / Like A Stone”
    • Woody Guthrie cover: “This Land Is Your Land” (featuring Tim McIlrath, Ike Reilly & Al Di Meola)

    Morello returned to the stage alongside Springsteen for a performance of Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad”, a song Rage Against The Machine famously covered in the 1990s. The night concluded with a collaborative cover of John Lennon’s “Power To The People” featuring all performers.

    The concert served as both a rallying cry against systemic injustice and a direct act of support for those affected by ICE operations in Minnesota, combining music, activism, and community solidarity.

      I think tom Murillo should shut the fuck up. He’s shitting on the system and country who made him a millionaire and famous. And when these riots end he retreats to his safe house far away from the shit. While everyone else is committing crimes and are being lied to. Shut the fuck up. This shit is getting old.

          Steve Cox hey. Remember when the activists in MN were fighting fascism by physically stopping American citizens into heir cars and checking to see if they were fascists or not? Or when they beat up other activists because they thought they were fascists? Keep fighting the good fight with the exact same type of fighting…

          They also tried tk sneak Kamala in there with no other choice, which is wildly non democratic. I’ surprised anti fascists didnt hava a problem there.

      Any individual that has a functional brain & is not a Liberal can sumise that the DemoRats plan was to overwhelm & overrun the Federal Law Enforcement Agents so much that they would create stress, fear, & exhaustion, which leads to potential human error. All the while protecting the Criminal Illegals that are in our country.

      So, more Leftist Lies, sowing division & violence to regain control in the Midterms & make us forget about the Criminal FRAUD under Tampon Tim & his Mayor pony boy. How shameful the Democrat Party is.

      It’s amazing how much the Democrats continue to prove that they truly are the party of mental illness and cultism

      These Federal LAW Enforcement Agents are good and decent Americans. The truth 🔥 DemoRats like Holy water when it doesn’t fit their Narrative

      THIS IS WHY WE SUPPORT ICE. PERIOD.

      These are real Americans who should still be alive today.

      Every person listed below was killed in a separate violent crime committed by someone who was in this country illegally. Different states. Different dates. Same pattern. Same failure.

      Dacara Thompson (19) — Killed in a home in Bowie, Maryland. Her body was thrown off a bridge.

      Laken Riley (22) — Jogging on campus when she was beaten with a rock, suffocated, and assaulted.

      Rachel Morin (37) — A mother of five abducted on a hiking trail, killed, and hidden in a culvert.

      Kayla Hamilton (20) — A young woman with autism, bound, assaulted, and strangled in her own home.

      Jocelyn Nungaray (12) — Abducted, assaulted, and killed in Houston. Found in a creek.

      Larisha Sharell Thompson (40) — Shot and killed during a random attempted robbery in South Carolina.

      Jamiel Shaw II (17) — A high school athlete shot in the street after being mistaken for a rival gang member.

      These families deserved protection.
      These lives deserved safety.
      These tragedies were avoidable.

      This is why enforcement matters. This is why ICE matters.

      We the True American Citizens support you ICE 🇺🇸❤️Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10163840595951488&set=p.10163840595951488&type=3

      I have come to view the First Amendment not merely as a legal clause, but as the very oxygen of our republic. There is a profound, almost rowdy majesty in a system that protects the right to speak one’s truth—even when that truth is unpopular, uncomfortable, or just plain loud.
      This freedom ensures that the “marketplace of ideas” remains open for business, preventing the stagnation of thought that haunts less fortunate nations. It is the right that gives breath to all others; for without the liberty to dissent, to petition, and to express the core of our individual identities, the law would be nothing more than a silent cage. It isn’t always orderly, and it certainly isn’t always quiet, but that vibrant noise is the sound of a living democracy.
      A Judicial Perspective
      In my years of service, I’ve noted three pillars that make this freedom so vital:
      • The Safety Valve: It allows social pressure to be released through words rather than violence.
      • The Search for Truth: It assumes that through open debate, the best ideas eventually rise to the top.
      • Self-Governance: It empowers the citizen, not the state, to decide what is worth hearing.

      Recent reports and data from 2024 and 2025 highlight several cases of American women and girls killed by individuals who were in the United States illegally, often generating significant political debate over immigration enforcement and border security.
      Recent Cases (2024–2025)
      Rachel Morin (Maryland, 2024): A mother of five was found murdered on a hiking trail. Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, a 23-year-old Salvadoran national who entered the U.S. illegally, was arrested and charged with her murder.
      Jocelyn Nungaray (Texas, 2024): A 12-year-old girl was found strangled in a Houston bayou. Two Venezuelan nationals, who entered the U.S. illegally and were released by authorities, were charged with capital murder.
      Laken Riley (Georgia, 2024): A 22-year-old nursing student was killed while jogging on the University of Georgia campus. A Venezuelan national in the country illegally was arrested for her murder.
      Larisha Sharell Thompson (South Carolina, 2025): A mother was killed during a robbery, with six undocumented immigrants, including three minors, charged in connection with her death.
      Maria Pleitez & Dayanara Pleitez (New Jersey, 2025): A mother (42) and her daughter (11) were killed in a car crash caused by a Mexican national in the country illegally.

      16-year-old Girl (New York, 2025): A teenager and her mother were struck by a vehicle driven by a Honduran national in the country illegally; the teenager died, and the mother was injured.
      Key Context and Political Impact
      DHS Data: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed that several victims were killed by individuals who should have been in custody but were released, sometimes after previous arrests.
      Political Response: These cases have been highlighted by Republican lawmakers and officials, leading to initiatives like the Laken Riley Act and calls for stricter border security.
      VOICE Office: The Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office was relaunched to assist those victimized by crimes with a nexus to immigration.

      “Fascist” has become the laziest word in American politics. It gets thrown around the way schoolchildren throw rocks, loud, emotional, and rarely aimed at anything real. For years now, it’s been attached to Donald Trump, often without serious historical context.
      If fascism means anything at all, it means centralized power, coerced compliance, and the use of government force to compel obedience. It doesn’t mean offensive speech. It doesn’t mean rude rhetoric. It doesn’t mean that people are unhappy with an election. It means control.
      So let’s talk about control. Not tone. But real control. That’s government action that restricts liberty, punishes dissent, and forces compliance.
      Democratic administrations have a long, well-documented history of doing exactly that.
      Under Woodrow Wilson, speech was criminalized. Americans went to prison simply for criticizing the government under the Espionage and Sedition Acts. That wasn’t metaphorical oppression. It was jail time for words, defended at the time as necessary and patriotic, and later recognized for what it was, a constitutional disgrace.
      Under Franklin Roosevelt, the federal government seized sweeping control over the economy. Industries were regulated by decree. Wages were capped. Prices were fixed. Rationing became a fact of daily life. At the same time, Roosevelt authorized the internment of American citizens based solely on ancestry. Families were removed from their homes by executive order. The Supreme Court upheld it at the time. That didn’t make it right. It made it a lawful injustice. Just uncontrolled government power exercised without regard for individual rights.
      That same Democratic era produced one of the most shameful abuses of federal authority in American history. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government knowingly deceived Black Americans in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, denied them treatment, and used them as test subjects for decades without consent. This wasn’t ignorance. It was deliberate. It was bureaucratic cruelty carried out in the name of science and public health. And it was sustained across administrations until exposure finally forced it to end.
      Earlier still, Democratic President Andrew Jackson used federal law, executive authority, and military force to remove Native Americans from their land. The Trail of Tears wasn’t rhetoric. It was a forced relocation at gunpoint. It was defended as lawful and necessary. It resulted in death, dispossession, and suffering on a massive scale. It remains one of the clearest examples of government power used to compel obedience without moral restraint.
      Republicans aren’t immune from abusing power either. Under Abraham Lincoln, the federal government suspended habeas corpus, imprisoned critics without trial, shut down newspapers, and asserted extraordinary executive authority in the name of national survival. Those actions were coercive. They were controversial then, and they’re still debated now. They prove a simple truth of American history: when government claims emergency power, liberty is usually the first thing to suffer, no matter the party.
      In more recent times, the pattern hasn’t disappeared.
      Under Barack Obama, the federal government used the tax code to punish citizens for declining to purchase a government-approved product. The Supreme Court upheld it only by recharacterizing it as a tax after the administration insisted it wasn’t one. The label changed. The coercion didn’t.
      Under Joe Biden, the federal government tried to condition continued employment on compliance with a medical directive affecting tens of millions of private-sector workers. The Supreme Court stopped it because it exceeded constitutional limits.
      At the state level, Democratic governors shut down businesses by decree. They also restricted church attendance, imposed curfews, and regulated daily movement. They did it without legislative approval and in open tension with constitutional guarantees. Courts later struck down many of those actions. By then, the damage to livelihoods and liberties had already been done.
      That’s what control looks like.
      Federal power has been abused before. Repeatedly. Sometimes brutally. American history isn’t short on examples of government action that crushed liberty, punished dissent, and compelled obedience by force. Measured against those episodes, the alleged abuses of the present simply don’t compare in scale, scope, or consequence.
      Nothing happening today remotely resembles mass imprisonment for speech, the forced relocation of entire populations, the internment of citizens based on ancestry, the deliberate denial of medical treatment by government design, or the open suspension of fundamental legal protections. Those were real exercises of coercive power. They were enforced by law, backed by force, and justified at the time as necessary.
      Today, the institutions of constitutional government still function. Congress still legislates. Courts still operate. Elections still happen. Power still changes hands through lawful processes, however noisy and contentious that process may be.
      Calling the present moment fascism doesn’t require courage. It requires historical amnesia.
      Fascism isn’t defined by tone. It’s defined by force.
      Words are easy. But power tells the truth.
      And when Americans look honestly at which political party has most often used the machinery of government to compel obedience, censor speech, enforce ideological conformity, and punish dissent, the charge of fascism doesn’t just fall apart.
      It reveals exactly who’s been practicing it.

      He’s such a grifting asshole. His own bandmates from Rage can’t even stand him. He was the only one that showed up at their Hall of Fame induction ceremony cause they know he works on the nominations board. That’s why they were nominated and inducted the first year they were eligible. Such a joke.

      Wonder where the “fuck you i won’t do what ya tell me” crowd was when they were mandating pokies. Or telling people they couldn’t leave their homes for a year. Or that if we wanted to go in public we had to wear a mask? Everybody was pretty compliant then?

      I want to encourage everyone injured during protests to sue. You have a legitimate lawsuit you can file against your employer or contractor. Volunteers have rights. Your coordinator deliberately sent you to a dangerous environment without the proper training. They want their opposition (the government) to create martyrs unintentionally (Rules for Radicals, S. Alinsky). The people who sent you there have very deep pockets. When they ordered you into a riot with no safety training to unarrest people, they led you to a slaughter.

      These protesters must disturb people with sensory processing disorders to sheer panic. I keep seeing videos of vehicles rolling down the road or even people getting arrested calmly, until the next round of riots start. How many emergency vehicles were blocked by protesters rioting? How many people lost jobs because of the chaotic riots? More unintentional martyrs Alinsky taught to make. Please, injured bystanders, sue the people in the crowd, the organizers, and their funders. Their funders have really deep pockets.

      But hey, that’s progressivism! Founded in the Frankfurt School in the 1930s, leftists and Marxists have been doing this for a century now. They love their Blutfahnes. Your leaders cowardly hide behind you so they won’t get hurt or arrested. They intend for you to get hurt, injured, arrested, or worse. Your “unintended” martyrdom will be the caused crisis they will not let go unused. They founded Antifa in Frankfurt in the 1930s, a communist group who beat people into submission who dared to disagree. You are the useful idiots they don’t care about. Obama loved Alinsky. His personal riot squad has created chaos since the Occupy days.

      As the liberals like to say, it takes a couple broken eggs to make a cake. They just make sure it’s your skull that breaks instead of their own.

      I’m on Fire” (1984): This is the most frequently cited example, with lyrics that often sound like those of a stalker or an inappropriately fixated narrator. Lines like “Hey little girl, is your daddy home? / Did he go away and leave you all alone?” combined with “At night I wake up with the sheets soakin’ wet / And a freight train runnin’ through the middle of my head” have been interpreted as menacing, rather than merely romantic, often evoking the imagery of a predator.

      Statistics (2010–2017)
      ​According to tracking by advocacy groups like the ACLU of Texas and the Southern Border Communities Coalition (SBCC), which monitor fatal encounters with border agents:
      ​Total Shooting Fatalities: Between January 2010 and the end of the Obama administration in January 2017, there were approximately 50 to 55 fatal shootings involving on-duty CBP agents.
      ​Total Firearms Use: Broader data from the ACLU indicates that firearms were used in at least 76 fatal encounters since 2010 (this includes some incidents after 2017).
      ​Non-Fatal Shootings: Comprehensive data for people who were shot but survived is less systematically tracked for that era, though individual reports suggest dozens of such injuries occurred annually across the various DHS agencies

You’re protesting against fascism while being a fascist to anyone who doesn’t agree or support your protest. It’s funny Obama did the same thing he deported 3 million illegal citizens no one cared. Trump does it it’s fascist… you’re being played and you don’t even see it. These people you’re standing for are the same people taking 20 billion dollars from Minnesota taxpayers.

      Just wanna remind anyone in these comments that Meta & this admin are a propaganda machine intentionally manipulating you into thinking there’s more support for ICE, the president, his staff, & fascist ideals than there actually is, with the goal of demoralizing & discouraging us from feeling empowered to engage in protests or boycotts.

      Social media is a convenient & effective weapon, & this administration is employing it to their full advantage. The more we perceive our opinions as being in the minority, the less comfortable we’ll be speaking out, or coordinating with others to organize & bring it to the streets. And who benefits most from keeping us compliant & complacent?

      Bots & farmed troll accounts comment praise for ICE or criticisms of Alex Pressi, or drop 😂 as a reaction on anything anti-fascist, & when you read a wildly racist comment, it only shows you positive reactions unless you dig deeper.

      If you bought what Facebook was selling, you could be tempted to think, “Oh well, no sense resisting, too many people still support him”.

      Don’t buy what they’re selling. It’s engineered to manipulate you. The vast majority of Americans don’t support fascism & we need to recognize & overcome the propaganda we’re exposed to every day.
