Pussy Riot Was Here

1. From RedEye:

"Watch snippets of the 2014 'Riot Fest Speaks' panel discussion. The panel included Pussy Riot members Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina, Bad Religion's Greg Graffin, Rise Against's Tim McIlrath, feminist writer Marcelle Karp, and Riot Fest founder Mike Petryshyn, along with moderator Henry Rollins."

Note Rollins calling punk one of history's great humanitarian movements.

2. The panel in full courtesy of Pond Tube and in two parts.

"Masha and Nadya got to speak to a big crowd about fighting misogyny in Russia, the U.S., and in punk music . . . but had to contend with Henry Rollins and some of other dudes blathering at their panel at Riot Fest in Humboldt Park."
