So, it’s a full-circle moment that Thurs, I have the honor of doing a fireside chat with Halla Tómasdóttir, President of Iceland, to discuss 50th anni of Iceland's women’s strike, its commitment to gender equality + the need for gender parity in music/creative fields to open the fest’s conference.
God, I love Florence + the Machine. Coincidentally saw them for the first time around this time in 2008 at Iceland Airwaves. She’s one of many powerful artists I’ve seen at the fest, which has made gender-equal and gender-inclusive lineups a priority since 2018.
Happy ‘Everybody Scream’ Weekend. Celebrate it by checking out @ohheybrittany.bsky.social's chat with Florence Welch, in the first-ever live edition of The Rolling Stone Interview

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.
masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.
this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*
The vibes in Chicago right now are sort of like during the pandemic except if covid showed up in a random neighborhood every day and had to be driven off by everyone yelling at it
The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days.

In the largest protests against the Trump administration and its policies to date, participants express fear and anger at America’s political trajectory. Our report:

35 minutes before start time
"If armed, masked, federal agents are snatching U.S. citizens off the street as they walk to work and throwing them in unmarked vehicles, you can only imagine what these agents must be willing to do to our immigrant neighbors and people who dare to speak out against them.”
If a dystopic voice asking you “to fulfill your mission” of rounding up undocumented immigrants has snuck its way onto your streaming airwaves, you’re far from the only one.
“D’Angelo reminded people that you can be successful by listening to your muse, ignoring industry trends, and giving the people innovative music”

The deployment of smoke canisters — some witnesses described it as tear gas — came as tensions boiled over on the city’s Northwest Side Friday afternoon.

Love this so much: From teenage bedroom walls adorned with music idols, to dreams fulfilled & lost, caregiving, what defines who you once were & who you’ll always be, this resonates. By the forever cool @amyphillips.bsky.social defector.com/living-throu...
Listen, I get all the fest/Lolla gripes (the bags under my eyes can attest). This year was special, even if you don't care for these artists. I cried in the midst of it. I grew up loving music + never saw people like myself on covers, stories, lineups. Representation matters, more so now than ever.
And witnessing Tyler's rise and growth, through a festival lens (I saw Odd Future back in the day at SxSW, would've never predicted where he is now), has been a revelation: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

🚨New from @rollingstone.com, by @althea.bsky.social: ABF Research Prof. Christopher W. Schmidt breaks down the Supreme Court’s decision to hear oral arguments over the Trump Admin's order to end birthright citizenship. Read more and find out what it means for the 14th Amendment: ⬇️
Trump's assault on birthright citizenship is significant on many levels, with potential to create an underclass of people denied rights due to race, ethnicity, ancestry — decimating the fabric of our country. And the ramifications may go further, with nationwide injunctions also likely on the line
