I can tell you what your rights are in America. Every right you are willing to bleed for; kill for and die for. "The Rule of Law" is not paper. It was the belief expressed by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and correspondence -- "The tree of liberty must be refreshed by the blood of patriots and tyrants" -- that the people would violently rise up to destroy unjust authority and certainly authoritarians. America is a failed Democracy because the people have not risen. The power of the people is not stronger than the people in power. If that were true MAGA would be gone. Civil War Now!

Our children teach us who to trust

The worst can’t kill what’s best in us

I really LOVE when my Rock Stars in mansions preach politics to me. I wonder also if WAR is a bad thing to the parents of all those young Iranian protesters zipped up into body bags when the Iranian thugs in the IRGC gunned them down in cold blood for attempting to express their freedoms of speech and assembly? Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Joselyn Nungray, Sheridan Gorman. . . . .why don't you sing about those women murdered and their bodies sexually desecrated by the killers who slipped into MY country through a porous border to kill U.S. citizens instead of a woman who inserted herself into an active and fluid police field operation with her car? Bono you say it best "No one cries like a mother cries" now lets hear that kind of pathos for Laken. . Joselyn. . Rachel.. . Sheridan. . . . and (the next murder victim) who now "are living in the dirt" Write us a song about those victims of Kamala border csar's work at MY border that continues to produce fresh corpses.

In the churches where they’re praying

School teachers are explaining

U2 needed something to protest to back to their style 😂😂😂

— @LaPelotaenlaCabeza

America, America

Much like Bono said the Ramones literally saved his life …U2 literally saved mine when I was 15 years old in 1985. The words of “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” made me feel unlike any song I had ever heard. I have listened to a million hours of U2 songs… been to concerts in New York, Las Vegas and Atlanta … prolly spent more money on gear and plane tickets. I truly love these guys. However, I respectfully disagree with much of their personal and political beliefs. I laugh at them like my 14 year old wanting to go to a college party with friends …pour myself a scotch and turn up Beautiful Day As loud as it will go. Respectfully Bono, love ya but this songs off the play list let Americans settle American problems write songs again that include us all. Or then again maybe it’s the war against the machine that helps create this awesomely creative music lol. Ok just keep on keepin on … not much time left … you be you I don’t have to agree….

What a trip to have our country be the subject of a U2 protest song. I love every second of it, even as it breaks my heart a little more. Thank you for raising your voices

I have been a U2 fan since I was very young. I own almost all of your albums, singles, and special editions, as well as many of your videos, and I have attended every single concert you have performed in Mexico. However, after seeing these last two EPs, I feel truly disappointed.

I still remember Bono in the Rattle and Hum video, in the middle of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," giving a beautiful speech against terrorism and criticizing the conditions of immigrants in the United States. What I see now is a Bono who has sold out to the most foul agendas, defending dictators like Maduro, Castro, and the Ayatollahs. I see him singing for those who died resisting ICE—incited by artists like yourselves to resist arrest—yet I did not see Bono writing a song when Charlie Kirk was murdered for refusing to follow indoctrination and for defending the truth.

I see no songs regarding the terrorism we experience in Mexico under our current narco-government. When there is a leader willing to end that, Bono criticizes him. Instead, he honors the memory of people brainwashed by social media and by artists who live comfortably in mansions with millions in their bank accounts, telling others what to do and what to think, while bypassing the individual's freedom to think for themselves.

Worst of all is the use of God, Jesus, and the Cross to send messages completely contrary to Christ’s teachings. Neither in the Bible nor in any scripture does Jesus speak of attacking those who think differently or defending those who blindly follow ideologies that have caused so much harm to the world. It leads me to wonder: what happened to that Bono who defended just causes with courage?

I did not see the band coming to Mexico to speak about the ecological disaster caused by the Dos Bocas refinery, which even Greenpeace denounced. Nor have I seen Bono honor "Mothers of the Disappeared" by speaking about the missing people in Mexico, a crisis the UN recognized while our president minimized it. Yet, you criticize a leader for defending his citizens against undocumented individuals who have committed crimes, inciting people to resist and attack ICE agents.

Why do the other members of the band follow him so blindly? Are they unaware, or have they also sold out? It fills me with rage and sadness to see how this band—for which I once slept on the street just to get a ticket—has fallen so low, becoming a band for the "idiotized." It is a shame; for me, this group has lost my respect and my fandom. You have become just another band exalting global decadence and stupidity.

RIP U2!

U2 really has gotten away from what made them great. They used to make such great music. Now all they make is noise. Album after album of trash. They haven't mattered since 2002.
