I thought “blackout” meant don’t post irrelevant promotional shit for your music or art or, like, pictures of your cat. It shouldn’t mean stop posting info about protests and resources and instead flood important hashtags with black squares

When I learned about the holocaust as a child, I was taught that it was bad because genocide is bad. Turns out some people were taught that it was bad because the victims were the wrong people

Reminder that Rittenhouse is the FOURTH right wing terrorist to shoot somebody at a protest since these protests started in May—first in Oakland, then Albuquerque, then Austin, now Kenosha—but a large portion of the country believes the real violence is damage to private property

Sick of establishment liberals tweeting “this is why you need to vote in November.” They’re telling you your outrage can only be expressed by sitting politely for five months, then shuffling off to cast a vote for a guy who co-wrote the crime bill that helped get us to this point

Pass it on to who? Aren’t you the one who’s supposed to do something?
#TrumpKnew and kept quiet. In fact, Trump lied. And now, people have died.

One thing about all these Spotify posts—this was the first quarter as a band where our Spotify royalty payments totaled about as much as our three personal Spotify subscriptions

This is how white supremacy harms poor white people as well—thinking they need to defend Target by stabbing POCs because they identify with the captains of industry oppressing them instead of with other poor people

Cheap clothing made by underpaid workers in other countries is much more symptomatic of the evils of late capitalism than expensive clothes for which somebody was paid well for their labor and expertise
AOC on the cover of Vanity Fair. The clothes are estimated to cost $14,000. So happy that AOC is upholding the long established hypocritical tradition of Socialists who believe Socialism is for poor while they enjoy the fruits of Capitalism.

Can’t wait for legendary gangster rapper Ice T’s forthcoming album “Nice To Meet You, Hungry, I’m Dad”
I was robbed at a gas station in NJ last night. After my hands stopped trembling..I managed to call the cops and they were quick to respond and calmed me down..... My money is gone.. the police asked me if I knew who did it..I said yes.. it was pump number 9…

Honest question—should we rethink our live visuals? Don’t want anybody to have a seizure at our show. Or worse, not come to shows for of fear of having one

At least we finally figured out what it takes for police to face some minuscule bit of accountability: hours of video of an undeniably brutal murder from multiple angles followed by months of global protest. Cool

I deleted this tweet last week cause I didn’t want to rain on the parade, but it’s still bugging me. It’s really fucking sad that De La Soul had to alter their 20+ year-old classic albums for the privilege of making $0.003 per stream

I thought the reason we’re supposed to respect people in the military is that they’ve consciously decided they’d be willing to die for what they believe is right. Isn’t this what we saw?

So here's the deal with this—it's not really a sequel, but it is part 2. In the years following Splendor & Misery, we made too many horror songs. We were advised that a 2 hour long 4xLP release about monsters and murder and shit would be too overwhelming

At this point they know people are filming and they just don’t care
Tonight Detroit police drove into a group of protesters, then, when they were stopped in the middle of the group, they hit the gas.

Well here's something interesting: we wrote a super short song for Pixar's Soul—seriously, it's a two-second gag in the movie itself—and it ended up on the soundtrack album, which came out today. We did not expect this

When we first started, people would tell us how much they liked us and also hated, say, Lil Wayne. And we’d be like: No. We do this because we love rap, not because we hate it. We just sound different cuz that who we are
Clipping are so hip-hop like they will feature a legendary underground artist or reference them i like that about them. Like shoutout to that lachat feature everytime

The thing every Hellraiser sequel got wrong is that the Cenobites aren’t from actual Christian Hell, and they aren’t punishing people for the sins they committed in life. They’re doms from a dimension where they can rip people open during sex and it doesn’t kill them
