BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG tells ICE to “F*CK OFF,” expresses solidarity with LA protesters.
Throughout the weekend, thousands of Los Angeles residents took to the streets in protest of the ongoing raids being conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On Sunday night (June 8th), after several days of protests, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong took to Instagram to weigh in on the situation, sharing a simply message to ICE: “F*ck off.”
Armstrong’s post included news footage of protesters and a clip of a Waymo self-driving vehicle on fire, with the compilation video’s soundtrack being set to Green Day’s song “F*ck Off.”
If his message wasn’t clear enough, the caption of his post consisted of just two emojis: a middle finger and an ice cube.
Armstrong wrote last month, “Where do I start? 1987? 1982? Today was like a fever dream. To see a lot of our friends and family all together to celebrate the walk of fame was unreal and beautiful. I remember playing Rajis in 1992. Never in my wildest fever dreams did I ever imagine this. Walking down the blvd. Gazing at the stars of Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin and so many more. Never once did I think this would be possible for me Mike and Tre. Mike brought tears to my eyes when he mentioned my mom Ollie. Jamming at my house in Rodeo California while she was making spaghetti. Last but not least our extended family and idiot nation. I’m always reluctant to use the word “fans” because you’ve all been on this journey with us for generations. In the immortal words of Shirley and Lee- “Let the good times roll”!”
