OneRepublic singer voices support for parade celebrating Army's 250th anniversary
Print Close By Rachel del Guidice Published June 16, 2025 The lead singer for the pop band OneRepublic voiced support for President Donald Trump's military parade that commemorated the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. "I have around 20 family members & grandparents that all fought in wars from the revolutionary war (actually) thru to WWII / Korea," Ryan Tedder wrote in what appeared to be an Instagram story that has since been deleted. "All politics & parties and righteous indignation aside it's a super bummer that instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the USA ARMY and all those who have fought and died on our behalf... We're protesting." MILITARY PARADE DRAWS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS FROM NEAR AND FAR: 'NO BETTER TIME TO COME TO DC' The parade, which was held on Saturday – also Flag Day and Trump's 79th birthday – was meant to honor America, according to remarks the president gave in the Oval Office last week. "We're going to celebrate our country for a change," Trump said. As a sign of opposition to the parade, many liberals held " No Kings " protests around the country, supported by Walmart heiress Chrissy Walton, to protest Trump and the parade recognizing the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Tedder said that he doesn't support any party, but wanted to support the service and sacrifice of those in the military. "I haven't been a card carrying political member of either side in over 20 years & think at this point everything is absurd 99% of the time," the OneRepublic singer and songwriter wrote. "But I'd like to say THANKYOU to all of the Army service members active and retired and those who have given their lives to protect our protest." WHITE HOUSE SLAMS 'UTTER FAILURE' OF ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTS AS AMERICA CELEBRATES ARMY'S HISTORIC MILESTONE Other musicians and celebrities spoke out in criticism of the parade. Nancy Wilson with the band Heart shared a post on Instagram saying that she was upset that her song "Barracuda" was played during the event. "Earlier today, during a parade held in support of our nation's military and organized by President Donald Trump, the song 'Barracuda' by Heart was played without permission or authorization from us," Wilson said in the Instagram post . "'Barracuda,'" written and performed by Ann and I, is a powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use," she added. "As daughters of a U.S. Marine Corps major, we hold a deep and abiding respect for the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. On a day meant to honor that service, it's important that music used in such settings reflects not only the tone of the event but also the wishes of the artists who created it." Singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo also took to Instagram to voice her disapproval of Trump and the ICE immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles. "I've lived in LA my whole life and I'm deeply upset about these violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration," Rodrigo said on her Instagram story. "LA simply wouldn't exist without immigrants," she added. "Treating hardworking community members with such little respect, empathy, and due process is awful. I stand with the beautiful, diverse community of Los Angeles and with immigrants all across America. I stand for our right to freedom of speech and freedom to protest." Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, called out Trump as well at the Download Festival in Donington Park in the U.K. on Friday. "Donald Trump in his administration is a fascist government," Armstrong said. "And it's up to us to fight back."

Elon Musk's 'No Kings' Post Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elon Musk posted a cryptic message about the "No Kings" protests after activists took to the streets across the U.S. over the weekend. The tech CEO's social media post came after protests were organized in hundreds of cities while a military parade in Washington, D.C, celebrating the anniversary of the U.S. Army's creation took place on Flag Day, which was also President Donald Trump's birthday. Newsweek has contacted Musk via X's press office by email. The Context Demonstrators turned out across the U.S. on Saturday to participate in coordinated "No Kings" protests, aimed at denouncing President Donald Trump's leadership. Many of the events reportedly remained largely peaceful, though several cities saw violent altercations, including a vehicular assault in Virginia and a shooting in Utah. What To Know Late Sunday night, early Monday morning, Elon Musk took to his own social media platform X to discuss the protests. "Anyone else think of this yesterday?" Musk wrote, posting a banner from the video game BioShock, which reads "No Gods or Kings. Only Man." The quote is associated with one of the game's antagonists, Andrew Ryan, the capitalist founder of the underwater city of Rapture, where the game takes place. Ryan's bust can be seen in the image Musk posted, above the quote. Elon Musk speaks alongside U.S. President Donald Trump to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on May 30, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Getty Images It is unclear what Musk was suggesting with the post, whether he was criticizing the "No Kings" movement or siding with the protesters against Trump. Musk has previously used images or videos to voice dissatisfaction with the White House. After the Liberation Day tariffs were announced, Musk posted a video of economist Milton Friedman condemning the kind of trade policy that Trump had implemented. While Musk clashed heavily with the president earlier this month over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, going so far as to call for Trump's impeachment, he has since rolled back the rhetoric, and said that he regretted some of the posts he said about his former political ally. Since then, Musk's social media has struck a more conciliatory note. He has shared screenshots of Trump's Truth Social posts, and retweeted several posts from Vice President JD Vance. What People Are Saying The San Diego Police Department said on X, formerly Twitter, following protests on Saturday: "You stayed classy, San Diego. Thank you to the thousands who demonstrated peacefully today. No arrests, and no incidents." Republican congressional candidate Lily Tang Williams said on X, Saturday: "We ran into the first 'No Kings' protest in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It is peaceful so far, police officers are present, traffic is slow. I heard Miami might have bigger one. Be careful out there and stay calm!" Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said on X, Saturday: "30,000 people showed up across our city to exercise their constitutional right to peaceful protest today—that's powerful. A curfew is in effect in Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who do not care about immigrants' rights. Get home safe, LA." What Happens Next Whether more protests are held in response to Trump's policies remains to be seen.
