I’m in Selma and Montgomery today for the voting rights protests after SCOTUS gutted the act. We are mobilizing voters for the midterms and interviewing political leaders about how to counteract this blatantly racist and political decision. @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

I made a new account without saving my prediction that the 2028 Olympics will not happen in LA, but rest assured knowing 1) I believe that to be true and 2) I was right last time.

A tweet from akilah Hughes in 2017 predicting there’d be no 2020 Olympics.

It is a travesty that she only released these in the UK (and apparently never released the gloves) but I got the skirt in the mail. I’m READY.

Okay so here I am, on a red carpet, wearing a Bulls jacket, not knowing any of the players since the 90s. Does that make me a gang member? Lol Jesse Watters is a moron.

Akilah Hughes wearing a sick ass Chicago Bulls jacket from the 80s having no clue who plays for the Bulls and decidedly not being a terrorist.
