Williams, who was accepted into 42 colleges before accepting an offer to the historically Black private university located in Washington D.C., tearfully shared the disappointing news in a recent Instagram video. Describing the university as her “dream school,” Williams said: “Never in my life have I been so disappointed. Never in my life have I gotten so far and worked so hard for it to be stripped from me on a random Wednesday.” In the now-viral post’s caption, she wrote: “I’m supposed to move in on SATURDAY. Howard University has unenrolled 100s of students. Financial aid …

NBA Draft Prospect AJ Dybantsa Already Knows He’s a Star

NBA Draft Prospect AJ Dybantsa Already Knows He’s a Star

Published by Jenni Sidey

Earlier that day, I first met up with Dybantsa in Santa Monica as a trainer put him through a morning circuit. As a Red Bull athlete, Dybantsa has all-inclusive access to the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center, a standalone building at the energy-drink company’s LA headquarters. The aspirational grooves of Rod Wave and 21 Savage’s “Turks & Caicos” rattled the speakers. The tricked-out gym boasts all the high-end amenities one might expect of a health-and-fitness palace funded by Red Bull, where snowboarders and cliff divers train alongside the potential first pick in the NBA Draft. There’s a biomechanics lab and a mental health performance center, an area where athletes can receive shockwave therapy, and a section where they can transition between an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. Immediately upon entering, visitors are greeted by a dark accent wall with “F*** THE LIMITS” painted on it in bold, defiant letters. I am told that the Peter Drucker quote, “What is measured, improves,” serves as a guiding principle for everything that happens here, which is why …

Politics Home Article | Women Labour MPs “Disappointed” By The Prospect Of Another Male Leader

Published by Sam Flores

Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, Bridget Phillipson, and Lisa Nandy have all served as Cabinet ministers in Keir Starmer’s Labour government (Alamy) 5 min read6 hr Female Labour MPs are “disappointed” by the prospect of a man replacing Keir Starmer as prime minister, with the Labour Party not having had a permanent female leader in its 120-year history. Members of the Women’s Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP), including some who would back Andy Burnham or Wes Streeting in a future race, told PoliticsHome that the party is overdue a female leader. A formal leadership challenge has not yet been launched to topple Starmer. However, either a contest or a coronation is widely seen as likely soon, after Streeting stepped down as health secretary last week and announced his intention to stand when a contest is underway, and Greater Manchester mayor Burnham announced that he will stand in a parliamentary by-election to re-enter Parliament. If Burnham wins the Makerfield by-election in June, he is the top choice among Labour members to replace Starmer as leader – …

Amid prospect of ICE at World Cup games, vendors weigh livelihoods against safety

Amid prospect of ICE at World Cup games, vendors weigh livelihoods against safety

Published by Sam Flores

NBC News reported last week that federal officers and agents who arrest immigrants as part of their work with ICE may be at World Cup matches. The Department of Homeland Security is offering its personnel to local police departments and federal agencies to provide extra security around the perimeters of games, similar to its role at the Super Bowl and the Kentucky Derby, two DHS officials said, adding that ICE officers and agents providing security won’t be checking spectators or employees for immigration status. So far, it’s unclear whether any departments or agencies are taking ICE up on the offer. On Monday, Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts said ICE has offered resources from a “public safety perspective,” but his city and its police department haven’t “engaged in any such discussions” with the agency. And, he said, “I have no information suggesting that ICE is going to be present in an immigration enforcement capacity.” Asked whether street vendors outside matches should be concerned if they don’t have legal status, a DHS spokesperson said they should. “Yes, …

Congo President Raises Prospect of Third Term and Vote Delay, Angering Opposition

Congo President Raises Prospect of Third Term and Vote Delay, Angering Opposition

Published by Sam Flores

KINSHASA, May 7 (Reuters) – Democratic Republic of Congo President ⁠Felix ⁠Tshisekedi said he was open to ⁠standing for a third term, angering opposition politicians who accused him of planning ​to break through mandate limits in the constitution and cling to power. Tshisekedi also said fighting in the east could make ‌it impossible to hold the next ‌presidential vote on time in 2028 – raising the prospect of a delay that could prove equally divisive in the ⁠mineral-rich nation ⁠which has endured decades of conflict. Congo experienced a prolonged political crisis under former ​president Joseph Kabila after he delayed elections beyond the end of his mandate in 2016, triggering deadly protests and international condemnation. OPPOSITION FIGURE WARNS AGAINST ‘SLIDE’ “I have not asked for a third term, but if the people want a third term, I will ​accept,” Tshisekedi told a press conference late on Wednesday, responding to a question about recent proposals by allies ⁠to ⁠revise the constitution.  Congo’s constitution currently ⁠limits presidents to ​two terms. Tshisekedi said any change would require a constitutional …

Prospect chief executive Mark Beard. Picture: Prospect Publishing Mark Beard is stepping down as chief executive of current affairs magazine Prospect after three years. Beard is leaving to join Ireland’s Business Post as CEO. His successor has not yet been announced. Prospect has credited him with helping to lead its transformation from a print-based brand into a “multi-channel media company” after he started by “fixing the plumbing” with tech improvements. News of Beard’s departure comes three months after former Prospect editor-in-chief of four years Alan Rusbridger stepped down. Rusbridger was succeeded by former Observer contributing editor and Times chief leader writer Philip Collins. Beard said: “My three years at Prospect have been wonderful. I’m truly grateful to have had the opportunity to transform the magazine into a multi-channel media company and I’m proud that many more people than ever before are now reading, watching and listening to Prospect’s journalism. “Clive Cowdery has been a model proprietor, and it’s been a delight to work alongside Alan Rusbridger and Phil Collins, two editors at the top of their game. “Finally, …

How Kiki Rice became the UCLA Bruins’ top WNBA draft prospect

How Kiki Rice became the UCLA Bruins’ top WNBA draft prospect

Published by Sam Flores

The WNBA will likely get an injection of UCLA talent. One of the players most equipped to make an impact right away, it turns out, might be Kiki Rice. Some mock drafts have the senior guard as high as being picked No. 5 overall after concerns she might fall out of the first round entirely before this season. After a career-best season, though, Rice is one of the top prospects in a loaded class. That wasn’t a given after taking a step back in all statistics other than shooting last season. The No. 1 seed Bruins are hoping to ride that to a national title, with the next step coming Saturday against No. 16 seed California Baptist in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. at Pauley Pavilion. UCLA guard Kiki Rice shoots over Ohio State guard Jaloni Cambridge during the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament on March 7 in Indianapolis.
