We publish below the lyrics of a new song Bruce Spingsteen released on January 28, 2026. The Boss, as the singer is known, released “Streets of Minneapolis” as part of a protest movement across the United States demanding an end to the terror unleashed by the Trump administration through its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol thugs against undocumented immigrants and all working people.

We also publish an article first released by National Public Radio (NPR) News announcing the song’s debut.

For whatever reason, my brain read "Youngstown" where you put "Lost in the Flood" and I spent a good 2 minutes thinking, "What in the world is cringe in Youngstown?"

This is pretty much entirely my position, too: its existence, regardless anything else, is a net good, in the end. And hopefully juices the inclination of others to join in. Momentum is built on encouragement.
