learned Sunday that the U.S. Department of State has issued a warning of sorts urging the Swedish government to make sure Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, is treated properly in prison.

"There are certainly some facts about the arrest and detention that raise concerns," a department spokesperson said in a statement. "We expect all governments, including Sweden, to treat American citizens fairly and with respect. We hope to see A$AP Rocky and his colleagues back on tour and reunited with friends and family soon.

"goes on to state that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been briefed on the issue and many top officials will continue to monitor the Harlem native's situation very closely. Prosecutors in Sweden legally have until Friday to decide if they will pursue assault charges against Rocky and three others in his crew. Rocky was arrested July 3 following an altercation before his performance at SMASH festival.

The youngest county by state'Flocking' or attending college/serving in the military? No disrespect, but having lived there, I don't know many young people who *chose* Portales, NM. It's simply the home of the Air Force Base and Easter NM University. When that comes about the media will be stunned by the political shift to the right that will also come about. It is amazing what happens to peoples political views when the have real jobs and accumulate some net worth that they wish to protect from the governments reach. Yes and we want that vast majority to go out and VOTE the next time around. It will be about their government and their future. They will be yellow, dark, red, white and black. They are ALL AMERICANS ready to MakeAmericaBetter

New York Is Now The Second State To Ban Hair DiscriminationOn Friday, July 12, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the CROWN Act into law, legally banning discrimination based on hair texture. The act focuses on mistreatment in the workplace and K-12 public and charter schools. This is disgraceful that it ever had to be and that a law has to be enacted. Worst than third world countries
