I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

Our NEA grant was canceled.

Here’s a letter from our development director about what’s happening.
On Friday night, n+1—alongside many of our peer nonprofit arts organizations—received notice that our 2025 NEA grant has been terminated due to the Trump administration’s “shifting funding priorities.” We knew this might be coming, but receiving the official notice was still jarring, as was some of the messaging itself. It’s unclear to us whether we’ll still be able to recover the money we’ve been promised this year—a $12,500 grant meant to help us pay our authors, our editors, and to have the magazine printed and distributed to our readers. We’ve requested the funds we’ve already spent, and now we’re waiting to see if the money will come through. We’re trying to stay optimistic, but with the administration’s other announcement this week that the NEA might be shut down in its entirety, it’s hard to do so. I’m writing to ask for two things—first, for short-term, immediate assistance to help us replace these funds. You can make a donation through our website, or—if you’re in New York and free on June 10—you can buy a ticket to our annual benefit, the N Plus Ultra. Second, we ask for your ongoing support amid the challenges that we, and other small magazines, are already beginning to face. You can do that by subscribing, of course, convincing your friends to subscribe (or simply sending them a gift subscription), or by buying a bit of merch from our shop. And maybe most meaningfully, you can share the n+1 pieces you’re reading and stay engaged with (and be vocal in your support of) the independent media you care about most. We’ll need all the help we can get. With gratitude, Dani Oliver Development Director, n+1

Rosie Long Decter (@rosield.bsky.social) profiled Rock Camp Montreal, where girls, non-binary, and gender-non-conforming youth form bands, write music, and perform live, and "where the broader aim is to provide education in grassroots feminist arts and politics."

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all.

it is so unfortunate that musicians have to simp for attention on the apps now to have a career like it's actively making me like music less... all our musical heroes got to have mystique and an air of cool and today's indie kids are doing tiktok dances for 12 year olds.....

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

i have no data to quantify this but just vibes wise it seems like popular indie rock has circled back around from the women-led late 2010s (mitski, michelle, phoebe etc.) to 'dudes rock' in a funny parallel of the late 90s to early 2000s... (lilith fair fare to the strokes/killers/monkeys)...

I was shown a letter from one grantee who was specifically flagged for non-compliance because their grant application includes the term "racial equity." They must now literally certify they are not doing any racial equity-related work. Crazy, totalitarian, racist conduct by the feds right now.
