Fuck ICE

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

“I refuse to take morality lessons from people who were gleeful about feeding humans to alligators just a few weeks ago.”

Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?

JUST NOW: Donald Trump is booed by the crowd as he arrives at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the US Open men’s final

This is what I mean. Trump just makes up a completely delusional description of reality. He doesn't operate in facts - but WE do. So we can't entertain the singular delusions of one grandpa, rambling for attention. A REAL world is out there beyond his microphone. And the rest of us live in it!

“Hey Brandon, do you think that camera USB cord is to close to your 2nd floor tom?” “No, I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

😭😭😭💔💔💔

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

A Project 2025 author with a Nazi ship on the wall behind him. This ain’t subtle, folks.

Hello Dems. More like this please.

This morning Donald Trump listed a bunch of Black & Brown American cities as places he wants to invade after he uses the American military & the DC police to take over DC. He claims that DC is in the middle of some sort of crime wave. The statistics say that is not true. This is fascism in action.

Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.

It’s been 15 years since Outside Royalty played our last show. This clip is one of my favorites ever taken of us. This is from Amneville, France, on show 13 of a 28-show tour, so we were firing on all cylinders. Love the backbeats way over the head and the doubled vocals.

Oof Stephen Colbert REALLY hates RFK Jr & doesn't care if CBS knows it. 🤣😂 He says: "Now we have ten more months of this show, so I want to give a nonpartisan response here. Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! You road-kill-munching, luddite, human slim jim. You're going to kill people!"

Fucking monsters. Tax guzzling monsters.

During the 2024 campaign Trump literally just said that if he wins they will "fix it so Republicans will never have to vote again" and the press was like "huh I wonder what he means by that, doesn't seem like something we should follow up on"

FLAG LOWERED INTO POSITION

Groove is in the hands. (Delightful, truly delightful)

Here’s to all the democracy fighters that marched in Oakland today Amazing!!! @maddow.msnbc.com

Oakland was NOT fucking around yesterday. (Keep in mind, there were also separate protests in Berkeley and San Francisco) Video from oaklandside.org/2025/06/14/n...

Wow. Once again: No notes.

Protesting in Berkeley today! #handsoff #berkeley #apr19 #nokings #goodtrouble #thismachinekillsfascists

Crafts time! Prepping for the #handsoff protests in Berkeley

Ready for @wkamaubell.bsky.social at Berkeley Rep

Vegas tournament pictures from last month!

Having a tough day at work? Take five minutes and just rip some stupid drummy shit out. Guaranteed stress relief. 😂

This administration is MONUMENTALLY stupid. Also, #5 is literally just "bribe us".

New camera. Still learning my way around this hybrid rig. Starting to feel pretty comfortable on it. When the drum machine knobs get twisted to the extreme ends of the spectrum, it feels like changes my playing. Love the super long clap decay on the snare rim here. At times feels like a china cymbal

You can hear me drumming on this one really well!

Messing around with triggering an analog drum machine from acoustic drums. No samples here - everything is generated in real time from an analog synth.

Actually, quite flattering.

Election control. This is basically the “I’m now officially a dictator” move. If anyone is shocked by how quickly this has come about, don’t be. This is abject desperation. The tide is turning. Between his horrible policies and the Hegseth Disaster, he knows he’s losing a LOT of people. (Cont’d)

15 years ago today, Outside Royalty played our largest show ever. Over 11,000 people in Milan, Italy. What a night!

Vegas 🏒 tournament. Lost game 2, but I got the team MVP. So I get the honor of wearing the pink hat for the rest of the day.

New studio build just about done. Super excited to get back to remote tracking in this room.

I think the “A” has gone from “already” to “again” and now finally to “always”

Why yes, I do have a cricut machine 😂

No fascists, no kings, no ketamine-addicted nepo baby dipshits.

@alexwinter.com Berkeley doing our Berkeley things ✊

Today I learned that Miss Yvonne from Pee Wee's Playhouse and Charlie's mom on Always Sunny are the same actress. Feel like there's a large set of Gen X folks who are going to be shocked by this. RIP, Lynne Marie Stewart.

Mini golfing with my shoe at a recent company offsite event 😂 (we were basically playing HORSE, where the first person to complete a hole decided on the trick shot for that hole)

Fun little project that I was involved with. The drums were recorded at my home studio. I did the drum engineering and production: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijf_...

Pinning this because it’s definitely the most representative clip of MY drumming that I’ve ever seen. It’s from a session at drum camp last summer, and I love how many of my little “things” get captured here. If you like this performance and would like me to play for you / with you, reach out.
