This crazy, sad, beautiful world will break your heart. A young person who isn't a bit of an anarchist has no brains; an older person who isn't a socialist has no heart. "There's no success like failure, but failure is no success at all." - Bob Dylan.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Ranchers on the Santa Fe NF have a history of violating grazing regulations: allowing their cows to trespass into the Valles Caldera Preserve, overgrazing USFS allotments, failing to move livestock, and causing ongoing damage to riparian areas and critical habitat. More ➡️ loom.ly/e0gHQDE

Fences Down, Grazing Up, and Cows That Don’t Read Permits
The USDA wants more cattle and lighter enforcement on drought-stressed national forests. A family cabin and the Valles Caldera show what unenforced grazing limits cost.

Russia again threatens NATO with nuclear strikes, this time if NATO "attempts to cut off Kaliningrad," which translates into normal English as "if they dare to defend the Baltic states from Russian aggression." They are an unhinged mad beast, and wht do we do with a mad beast?

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
