On February 6, 2026, Lofgren released the song, “No Kings, No Hate, No Fear”, as a free download on his website. The song was in response to [[President Donald Trump]], [[ICE]] and the killings of [[Renée Good]] and [[Alex Pretti]]. Springsteen himself a little over a week earlier also released a song title "[[Streets of Minneapolis]]" which touched on the same topics as Lofgren's song. Lofgren compared the current times to the [[Vietnam War]] era saying “I have such [[PTSD]] from those times. And this time … this is worse. And that’s one of the reasons I wanted to try writing an anthem that was primitive, that was honest, that didn’t have a lot of words, that was repetitive. Because we need that. I mean, I thought we evolved from the late ’60s with some of the great civil rights laws. And I just thought we were past that and evolving as a people. … we’re all watching in horror as people are getting killed in the street, and not just Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Other people are being killed, too. And our heart goes out to all of them. But it’s just unacceptable and horrific, and we gotta try to get out of it.”{{cite web |last1=Lustig |first1=Jay |title=Nils Lofgren releases protest song, ‘No Kings, No Hate, No Fear’ |url=https://www.njarts.net/nils-lofgren-releases-protest-song-no-kings-no-hate-no-fear/ |website=NJ Arts |access-date=February 23, 2026 |date=February 6, 2026}} |
