dude what we were just on the NEWS.
AP was born out of love, uncertain of whether our anti-capitalist experiment would even last a year.
now, almost a year after opening our doors, we are fighting to stay, with so much support to boot.
Interaction I had while I was out today:
“Hey Jesse! I love your band man. Can I get a photo?”
Me: “hey man sure”
Kid’s friend who, rightfully so, had no idea who I was: “The hangover?????”
Yes. She thought I was Zach Galifianakis.
I realized I’ve made a lot of Twitter comrades over the last 2 years and it’s been awesome growing, learning and organizing with y’all. In what seems like a past life, I used to travel the world poisoning the minds of the youth. Because if y’all, I’m even more dangerous.
There’s a lot of talk about striking in the music industry as of late. We, music workers, under no circumstance should try to attempt something like that right now. We MUST organize ourselves as workers FIRST. We can’t be arrogant and we can’t be stupid.
For those who want to buy a shirt, I’m working on something now. If you see any other links, those are fakes. You can buy one but the money won’t go to the Free Clinic so I would ask you to be patient and hold on for a day or so.
Thank you all for your support.
People in hardcore bands talking shit about the hardcore scene unless hardcore kids are going off for their band is soft & whack. I’ve seen rhetoric & aesthetics bring kids in but it doesn’t keep kids around. Just be fuckin real and believe in what ur doing. That’s what we want.
Landlords unironically: “I spent $10,000 to put subway tiles in your shower so now I’m gonna raise your rent by $1000 a month so stop eating avocado toast and drinking lattes as to not risk my passive income. It’s basic economics lmao.”
🚨Yesterday was a sad day for me & my husband. We closed on our rental property that we had NO CHOICE but to sell. The GOVERNMENT MANDATED that people could live in it for FREE for OVER A YEAR. We LOST out on over $42,000 in RENTAL INCOME.
“Do you believe in abortion rights?”
-“Yes”
“Do you believe in workers rights?”
-“Yes”
“Do you believe in safe and affordable housing?”
-“Yes”
“Do you believe in free education and healthcare?”
-“Yes”
“Join a socialist party and organize for revolution!”
-“No”
Cool.

free clinic we’re launching next month. Get yours before I get hit with a lawsuit. It’s a pricey item because it’s expensive to make. If you can’t afford one right now a ❤️ or RT would help too! ✊✊✊
In 2018 I finally got to visit the grave of Karl Marx and Comrade Claudia Jones who is buried to the left of Marx. Karl Marx has inspired literally billions of people and continues to this day. May more and more people find the path to liberation.
Happy Birthday ✊✊✊
Seattle, not gonna lie, I ate some noodles literally seconds before going on stage and felt like I was gonna have a heart attack but the show was absolutely wild. Thank you so god damn much. PNWHC4L
These mother fuckers won’t stop until literally everything is a prison and then turn around and call this piece of shit place “the freest country on earth”. A truly remarkable cuckold.
To anyone who woke up today and decided to be a socialist/communist: we are now stronger than we were yesterday. On behalf of everyone fighting to end this system before it ends us, thank you.
Damn. These mfs are SO close to understanding. Capitalism doesn’t create anything. Labor creates everything. Socialism spreads the wealth that LABOR creates.
So my bf is on tour. He accidentally butt dials me. I hear a girl in the background, I’m intrigued..
Listening in like a psycho I hear them talking about my bird Lemon and squishmallows and how I’m going to love it 😭 the most wholesome buttdial from a bf on tour ever😭
This starts today. Im looking to get involved in any mutual aid events, book clubs, anti capitalist discussions, etc... If you got one when I’ll be in your city please let me know.
Gizmo has had 5 adoptions fall through because of landlords who won’t allow “pitbull breeds”. Gizmo is such a good pup and is going to make an incredible lifetime companion. If you’re in the greater LA and you want to adopt Gizmo, please reach out!
These are now live. Grab yours ASAP in case the website gets taken down. All proceeds going to All Power Books programs including the Free Clinic. Thank you all for your support! If you can’t afford one but still want to help then please share!

@allpowerbooks
but since LAPD keeps murdering people who need help I think this is an appropriate time to do so…
LAPD shot and killed someone experiencing a mental health crisis, again. About 1/3rd of the people shot by LAPD last year were experiencing some short of mental health issue.
This is the “crime wave.” Get LAPD the fuck out of mental health calls.

Why do white amerikans think they are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires. They don’t want you in their club. Just stop and show some fucking solidarity instead of throwing your life away for these stupid fucks. No sympathy for these petite bourgeois clowns.
Happy Sunday comrades! Lets challenge ourselves and each other to strike up conversations with people through out our days. Find a common ground. Learn to relate to the average person. Break free from the matrix that is our socials and learn how to talk to people.
Can’t wait to get out and meet y’all in the real world. Let’s continue the work together. If/when shows come back I’ll probably be posting about them. Come out to a show. If you’re an org, come table a show. Solidarity is the only way forward.

Free Clinic was such a success! I’m at a loss for words for what our amazing nurses were able to accomplish. I can’t wait to see how this grows.
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
