Overview
- Young’s editorial on the Neil Young Archives calls the United States a “disaster” and accuses President Trump of “destroying America bit by bit.”
- He urges citizens to “rise up, peacefully in millions,” framing nonviolent protest as the response to what he describes as growing instability.
- Linking his post to the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, coverage notes the shooting set off demonstrations in multiple cities.
- He targets ICE with the line “It’s ICE cold here in America” and blames Trump for militarized tactics, though outlets note the agency was established in 2002.
- The new piece continues Young’s long-running criticism, including last summer’s protest song “Big Crime,” and has drawn sharp pushback from some Trump supporters on social media.
