There’s 14.8 million Jews in world(we got killed a lot)
@kanyewest
you have 31.4 million followers here. All those “Sunday Services” praising Jesus,a dead Jew who ppl went “death con 3” on a couple thousand years ago. You’re not an original thinker. A boring, hate filled paradox.
Hi dear friends.
I can’t believe I’m writing what I’m about to write. After being so careful and miraculously avoiding it for over 2.5 years, I came down with a bad case of Covid.
I just want to add that my heart is with all the people who have suffered from the different iterations of this virus over this long while. Long Covid, side effects, loss of loved ones…
15 years ago today my little self-released Soviet Kitsch record came out worldwide on Sire/Warner! It feels so long ago, and yet so close. Sending a hug & gratitude to all who were listening then, and are still listening now... 🥰✨🎶 regi
I’m so sorry to everyone who bought tickets and was coming to see me in their town. I have gone from feeling bad, to worse, to terrible. I’ve lost my voice. I am a bit delirious from fever, so in advance I apologize if this note isn’t too coherent.
Friends! I’m so happy the
@JoeBiden
Campaign used music from “Us”! The lyrics “We’re living in a den of thieves... and it’s contagious” have never been more true, somehow... Please Vote👊❤️!
Please take your vitamins and take it easy on yourselves. I have beaten myself up about letting you all down, but sometimes life is life- and you can’t control the circumstances. I’m going to try and heal up and see you on the flip side as soon as possible!
I have had a really hard time lately, and all your love has been helping me so much. I hope mine reaches you as well. For now- I will have to sing to you from past recordings, and we will reschedule the shows for when the theaters are able to have me back.
Everything about this seems so individual- to some it is asymptomatic, or some sniffles, and to others it is a long road to recovery or worse, it alters the course of their entire life.
Please take good care of yourselves. I will try to take good care of myself too. I’m thankfully surrounded by a wonderful team of people and I’m super grateful to doctors and scientists for all they have done to help us get to a better place with this thing.
I can’t believe this happened! My happiness is encoded in every second of that video! Thanks so much for sharing this!!! What a dream come true!!! What a magical human Lin is!!!💕✨💕✨💕
I truly can’t believe this has happened. I was overjoyed in Chicago to play the first show of the tour- and I’m grateful I got to have at least one night of loving you all from that stage! I felt your love too!
Listening to
@AOC
talk about the environment, and how the kids (all our kids!) are paying the price, I'm reminded that there are still some politicians who work in the field of "Public Service". She is amazing, let's help her make changes!
What happened today in DC is insane. How come we must fear for the safety of BLM protesters, but these white supremacists, armed and waving confederate (pro-slavery/fascist) flags are gently let in to “do their thing”. What shame we have witnessed. It can’t be allowed go on!
A good example of how vilifying Israel non stop links to Jews everywhere being vilified too/put in harms way. They are forever linked/used as an excuse. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in serious denial. This is New Jersey, USA.
📍 Bergen County, NJ - “Are you Jewish? I’m Muslim. You’re killing my people. Israel is killing my people.”
Why are two random Jewish women shopping in the U.S. being held responsible for a political conflict happening halfway around the world?
Soviet Kitsch is 20🎂!!! To celebrate we made limited edition translucent yellow vinyl 🍋💕You can pre-order it HERE starting today, August 10th:
What a road this little record has traveled!
There aren’t enough words or tears to express the boundless loss we all feel having lost my beautiful papa, Ilya Spektor. Our family and friends are heartbroken and we grieve.
I will not be indifferent to the suffering of Jews and Palestinians… I will keep hope and peace within myself and send love towards you… Am Yisrael Chai 🤍🩵💙
Dear friends. I have been away from public spaces physically& internetly for a long while. I don’t really know what I can possibly say at this moment other than to voice my full solidarity and support for all those protesting for the rights of POC to live/breathe/be safe & eaqual
I’m sending love to Israel: to family, friends, as well as to all those I don’t know. I send love to the whole region. To the world. To our galaxy. And beyond. I hope everyone stays safe. I pray for peace…
Good evening✨I didn’t see much at all in my feed about this as I tuned in, so wanted to share. Shabbat has ended and Tisha B’Av has begun. It’s a fast day that commemorates the destruction of the two ancient temples in Jerusalem… Many people in Israel are fasting.
SO happy! SO hopeful! SO grateful! Our next President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris! The biggest congratulations to you, and to everyone who voted,organized, and counted the votes during all that chaos! It’s was hard to wait- but worth the wait!❤️🙌🙏🌈👊
On this last of 8 nights of Chanukah, and as we begin to say goodbye to 2019, I ask for love, peace and a stop to the many hate crimes that have been happening to the Jewish people here and abroad... It’s a wish, a hope, a prayer...
What a crazy world it has been. And still is. I’m just so glad it IS… cause knowing us humans, that’s not always a given… I’m full of extra gratitude and love for the world these days. Just glad to be here.
I’m so excited to share the new music. Let’s try to keep safe & healthy & strong. Lately there has been much sorrow, personal & global & national. I feel grateful that at this time I’ll get to feel the joy & privilege of singing for you all… I’ve truly missed you.
xo,
💕Regina
Wow! I wouldn't have remembered! *fun fact- I self released it back in 2003 and took it with me when I opened for
#TheStrokes
before I was signed. After I got signed by SIRE/Warner, they re-released it today, 14 years ago ✨💕
The horror of what’s happening in Israel is beyond words, but I will try to write a few anyway…
It’s beyond comprehension… It’s beyond the realm of anything I can truly grasp.
Hi! If you’re free, please tune in tonight, 8/18/20 to

who is AMAZING! 😍💪📚🗽❤️
As I searched my feed& the news, I was not surprised that Israel defending itself from militant jihadists somehow got lost in the shuffle. I was saddened. Quiet is my feed about these attacks, cause Israel doesn’t seem to be on the list of places that get support when attacked.
20 year “11:11” and “Songs” birthdays coming up! Working on a lil’ vinyl + fun stuff situation. If you were there/have any music/photos/videos/art from that era(I lived mostly out of my backpack so not much exists...) please send along! Any merch requests too! ❤️👊💕🎶
I think dropping paid partnerships is important. But silencing art is a whole other thing. People can stop listening if offended. To erase art/keep it from getting heard opens up a dangerous door I wouldn’t want to step through. One has to see the big picture and keep art safe.
Spotify still allows convicted pedophile R. Kelly to remain on their platform so we’re not exactly shocked their CEO Daniel Ek is permitting Kanye West’s music to stay on.
Completely agree! Artists need to communicate/send messages from their lands. In dictatorships that’s the only thing that can reach the outside world. Stop letting Russian oligarchs invest billions into tech/realestate. Stop letting them buy the world. Don’t shut up the artists.
Banning Russian art because of its origins is a terrible idea on so many levels. People are not collectively accountable for their governments. Artists often challenge the status quo. And this precedent is impossible to follow and would results in never-ending bans & counterbans.
Found this old pic my papa took of my incredible teacher Sonia Vargas and I. She gave me tools to express myself through music. To gift someone music is to give them joy, love, and kindness, in perpetuity... ❤️

There probably should be a word or an expression about the feeling you get when you first shower after a haircut… You know that feeling? Your fingers just get surprised cause you hair ends in a new place? Something summing up the vibe. Examples: umami, Hygge… but for that.
Hi friends! This is a small (huge) request asking the gentle people of Colorado to help me stay healthy on tour. About to play my first indoor shows in 3 years, and doing all I can to not get Covid and cancel shows. ✨🤞💕If you can, please mask 🙏😷💕
Music education is a gift, but it should be a free gift to all kids! Singing/playing brings joy & confidence! 3.8M kids don't have access to music in schools. Let's support

in helping schools!

So tonight, on this holiday of mourning and fasting, and as Israel continues to defend itself, maybe more of us here can wish it well. To think of it the way we do about any country full of millions of civilians who are getting rockets launched at their homes and families.
There was a poem here before
But now there's just a dirty floor
The day is starting up once more
The kettle's boiling
When I looked up I saw your eyes
When I looked out I saw the sky
When I looked down I saw the floor
But where's that poem
(To have a home, you need a poem)
Lin & Vanessa = Two beautiful and shining humans being amazing and loving and awesome... Broadway, you sure are dreamy! ✨✨✨✨
*PS speaking of dreamy- dear Adrenaline, if you can hear me- please allow me to go to sleep soon so I can dream about all that’s happened! Love, regi
Last night I had a blast with Seth Meyers and all the wonderful people of

Hundreds of rockets launched at Israel never reached it. One tragically fell on the people of Gaza. An attempt to blame Israel for deaths of children happened, but luckily there was video showing where it launched from& how it crashed. Innocent Palestinian lives were lost.
I tune in again to say that I hope wherever you are- you are ok! If you’re sick- I’m sending you a ton of love. If you have to go out and help people- I send you courage and gratitude. And if you’re one of the lucky ones who can- PLEASE STAY HOME, it matters a ton👊❤️🧼LOVE, regi
