Dropkick Murphys announced from the stage, "if you’re American and you’re coming under the punk-rock banner and you’re voting for that fuckin’ guy and supporting the shit that they’re doing, you’ve twisted your mind into knots. The far right ain’t the new punk"

When survivors of the late 20th century talk about punk or music, we're talking about low-fi, DIY stuff like this, not Blink 182 or Alien Ant Farm covers of Michael Jackson. If enough people pass around hissy, dubbed tapes of this song, it could become our generation's Not Given Lightly.

My friend in #Asheville, NC sent me a photo of my book at Firestorm Books. Happy to see #JamesSpooner’s book, High Desert, right below. It’s a comic about growing up a #biracial #punk in Southern California.

At the zine event I just did, people in the audience had heard of the #AfroPunk festival but never heard of the DIY #documentary that it was named for. Spooner drove around the country back in the early 2000s interviewing #BlackPunk rockers who, at the time, were racially isolated in their respective scenes. This movie changed the entire landscape for everyone but especially Black kids in the punk scene, giving a voice to our various experiences. You can find the video online for free, I believe.
