‘NY Post’ Dragged For Sympathetic Coverage of Kenosha Terrorist, Criminalization of Black Victims
Source: Twitter / NY Post New York staple and tabloid newspaper the New York Post is being criticized for its depiction of domestic terrorist and Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse. On Wednesday (Aug 26) just one day after the 17-year old gunman opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protestors gathered to call for justice after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the New York Post posted an article seemingly sympathizing with Rittenhouse, while criminalizing Black victims. The newspaper promoted the article sharing the news of Rittenhouse’s arrest by prominently displaying pictures of the teen cleaning up graffiti, after slandering victim Jacob Blake claiming he had a knife in his vehicle–a detail that was proven false by investigators. “Before allegedly being filmed shooting protesters du...

No ‘Useless Girl,’ Cazzu Talks Dinner With Alfonsina Storni & Feminism
The Argentine Singer released Una Niña Inutil today Rising trap artist Cazzu is in her home in Argentina, surrounded by her paintings and three cats: Mu, Elvira and Gary, a black-and-white kitty who likes to leap on her lap unannounced. Her hair is dyed red, a color that –coincidentally—matches the color scheme of the cover art of her new album, Una Niña Inútil (Useless Girl), which shows her wearing a checkered red schoolgirl skirt, with roses and masking tape covering her breasts. The album title and its contents were inspired by Diario de una niña inútil (Diary of a Useless Girl), a “diary” penned 100 years ago by Argentine feminist poet Alfonsina Storni in a subversive effort to defy the norms that dictated what women could write at the time. Cazzu, who at 26 years old has ...
Hardy Strictly Bluegrass Announces Relief Fund for Roots Musicians in the Bay Area
The long-running Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival is shifting to a digital format this year and is now accepting applications from local musicians within the American roots music ecosystem in the Bay Area.
