Los Lobos were saddened to hear of the passing of our hermana Dolores Huerta, whose relentless spirit and passion will certainly live on. In 1962, Dolores stood at the forefront of a historic movement that would change the course of American history.

Thinking of Dave Edmunds. Besides being a great guitar player and a wonderful band leader, he is a gifted vocalist, covering George Jones, John Fogerty, and the Everly Brothers. Dave Edmunds - The Race Is On youtu.be/q7HiqrTlF94?si=cmfs… via @YouTube

For decades economic development has relied on tax breaks and subsidies for the largest corporations, a trickle-down approach that too often falls short. @NYCMayor and @NYCEDC are charting a new path. In the first deal of its kind in NYC history, the public is investing $30 million in a quantum lab - in exchange for three board seats and 15% of the revenue generated from technology it creates. And if any firm coming out of the lab merges, gets acquired, or IPOs, the city gets a payout. When public dollars are invested, the public should share in the wealth and innovation those investments create. nytimes.com/2026/10/14/nyreg…
