Be gentle with yourselves today. Spread a little extra kindness, love and cheer. It’s been 9 years and for some they are still processing this. We get tackled by the grief at times that we do not expect.
But we’re in this together, with hope and all the positive memories too.
@ohmgeist The Emptiness Machine because when I was at that very first show, at the barrier, all I thought was....OMG new music! Then Over Each Other and Up From the Bottom.
@ohmgeist@LPLive I flew into Burbank Airport, met some people for the first time, and we went to the sound stage where the band played TEM for the first time. It was amazing because we didn't know what to expect. Oh, I thought, wow new music, and here we are a year later.
@Inadvertantview@ThatEricAlper Linkin Park once stopped a show when Chester Bennington noticed that someone had fallen down in the pit, and instructed the crowd to help the person up.
Dear Sir:
And to show our appreciation for all President Biden did for us America decided to replace him with a former President that was impeached twice during his term, mismanaged a pandemic that took thousands of unnecessary lives, incited an insurrection to undo an election he clearly lost, was subsequently charged with numerous crimes, including sexual assault and stealing government secrets, and convicted of thirty four felonies.
We choosed this convicted felon to lead our country over one of the most qualified people to ever run for the office whose only drawbacks were she was a woman and Black.
As our nation's first black President, this had to be particularly distressing to you, though you bucked up, put on a smile and sat next to the felon at Jimmy Carter's funeral.
Though I'm sure you are as disappointed as I am with our current state of affairs, I hope you and Michelle will continue to stay engaged and help us continue to build on both yours and Biden's legacies, and return us to a path of Democracy and a government dedicated to the welfare of all.
Respectfully,

When I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend, Wanda. She was sad at school, and there were times when she didn’t want to go home.
One day, I asked Wanda if everything was all right, and she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. I immediately told her she had to come live with us. I called my mother, and my mother said, “Of course she does.”
And so Wanda did.
Wanda’s story is one of the reasons I wanted to become a prosecutor. As a courtroom prosecutor, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to take on crimes and harms against women and children. When I had a case, I charged it not in the name of the victim but in the name of the people for one simple reason: In our system of justice, a harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.
Through all my decades in law enforcement, I never asked a victim or a witness, “Are you a Republican or a Democrat?” The only question I ever asked was, “Are you okay?” That is the kind of president we deserve, and that is the kind of president I pledge to be.
As president, I will fight to protect our fundamental freedoms and make sure everyone has a right to safety, dignity, and justice.
Trump's not only losing, but he's losing to a woman. Trump's not only losing to a woman, but he's losing to a woman of color. Trump's not only losing to a woman of color, but he's losing to a woman of color who is drawing bigger crowds than him. Trump's not only losing to a woman of color who is drawing bigger crowds than him, but he's losing to a woman of color who is drawing bigger crowds than him who injured and humiliated him in a recent debate so badly, that he's too afraid to debate her again even though he needs to because ... he's losing.
It's a narcissist's nightmare.
Mike talking about that moment in the interview: “She got so emotional that she couldn’t keep singing. [..] I’m not a big crier, but I felt that way too. There were different moments in the set that were very emotional.”🥲❤️
@MagaliHope@heydudeimadam@linkinpark Same - was great to see you as I walked into the venue on Thursday - you were saying something like "it's been a crazy day today!" And I can only imagine. Looking forward to the tour next year.
