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.

They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

What is the most important lesson you hope America has learned since the start of the second Trump regime? I’ve made the rounds of several people whose political, historical, and philosophical insights I respect and come up with the four hopeful lessons that stand out. Let me know your thoughts.

The multiple deaths at Delaney Hall are the predictable outcome of a rapidly expanding detention system, with no transparency or accountability. Congress must pass the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end mandatory detention, family detention, and private facilities like Delaney Hall.

A Congressman said reports of deadly conditions at an ICE detention center were a “false narrative.” Then two more people died. - ACLU of New Jersey
Immigration detention is cruel and inhumane. It’s also deadly.

In other words, Congress refuses to do its duty. Not just a broken branch. A bygone branch. (At least, part of it...) Willingly surrendering the People's power -- our power -- to a wanna-be king.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.
