Bronx Community College spotted in Bad Bunny's new music video for "NUEVAYoL" 🥰 🇵🇷 He filmed part of the video on campus in February.

A collage of four images featuring Bad Bunny in a blue suit. The first image shows Bad Bunny standing against a textured wall, holding a hand to the face. The second image shows Bad Bunny standing in front of a large, geometric concrete wall with pyramid-like shapes. The third image is similar to the second but zoomed out, showing more of the wall and an entrance below with people walking around tables. Text on this image reads "DIRECTED BY RENELL MEDRANO." The fourth image shows an overhead view of Bad Bunny descending stairs.

History made, Broncos. Watch Senator Cory Booker run through 400 years of U.S. History and connect past to present

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Apr 2

Senator Cory Booker, his voice still booming after more than a day spent on the Senate floor railing against the Trump administration, surpassed Strom Thurmond for the longest Senate speech on record, in an act of astonishing stamina that he framed as a call to action. nyti.ms/4iXMx8m
