Today I had one of the top moments of my career. Eddie Vedder watched our set, then met me after in tears. I’ve sat and listened to this man music so much as a teen and felt the same thing. A moment I will never forget. I could not have dreamed this.

Most police in major cities spend the majority of their time harassing poor people for minor crimes. It’s not an opinion it’s a documented fact. We have a irrational loyalty to a racist institution that has been so mythologized most don’t even know what police actually do.

A man was murdered in Rochester NY by RPD. The officers are still on the force. Mayor Lovely knew, Chief Singletary knew, Mike Mazzeo knew. They all told us that we don’t have these problems in Rochester. Ask Daniel’s Prude family if we have these problems, ask his sister.
