I was thinking about how Bruce Springsteen is the only artist I know of who has written a protest song lately and I was wondering if anyone else had any good recommendations since… 2016 or so.
Edit: so many great recommendations! Thank you all!

Just about any song by Jesse Welles these days…
A few examples:
War isn’t murder, Red, Join Ice, The Poor
He had kind of a shit take after Kirk got murked tbh
“CEOs come and go and one just went”
Referring to the United healthcare CEO in the song United Health.
It’s the kind of wordplay boomers loved with Dylan. But it’s fresh, current, enticing, and it holds a sharp edge. In 50 years I hope we remember Welles as fondly.
I cannot tell you how happy I am that this man exists.
Came to say this, upvoted.
