Its the anniversary of when the Jeff Rosenstock band had all our equipment stolen in San Francisco. SF police never helped us recover a single item, despite it being on video. But look at how well they march in step when it's time to prevent people from raising their voices

Arrests currently happening on the bay bridge. It’s important to remember that every time police show up to arrest anti-war/pro-Palestinian protestors, American police are acting in solidarity with their training partners in the IDF. #FreePalestine

Re: merch cuts Once, Hard Girls played a big venue with some big bands. Probably 1,500 people there. We got paid $100. Sold maybe another $200 in merch (ie gas money). End of the night venue staff won't let us leave bc of merch. Accuses us of lying, questions us all individually

Finally, when she sees she can't get us to break and confess that we sold $200 and therefore owe her $40 in merch cuts, she says, "ok. I'll let you leave. But I'm gonna get you next time." That is what this is about. End of story
