Nakase embraces what she feels is a responsibility and thinks about how to use her new platform to encourage more girls on a daily basis.“What I feel like I’m going to connect more to also is more coaches,” Nakase said. “Because I think that, like I said, the impact of coaches is going to be the reason why other females — younger kids that look like me — that they’re going to be inspired.”
Tang reported from Phoenix.BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — One song generating a lot of froth at theis “Espresso Macchiato,” a dance-pop ditty by Estonian rapper and visual artist Tommy Cash.
Estonia’s entry in the pan-continental pop competition, which, is a playful dance-pop track that reels off a string of Italian cliches — including references to spaghetti and “sweating like a mafioso” — before a singalong chorus: “Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato.”
The song has some fans singing it in the streets of Basel. But it raised a few eyebrows in Italy, where a consumers’ association branded it offensive and complained to Eurovision organizer the European Broadcasting Union.
Cash said that he’s seen media articles about a backlash, but “I see only the love.”Mohsen Mahdawi, 34, who
at the Ivy League school in New York in 2023 and 2024, spent 16 days in a Vermont prison before a judge ordered him released on April 30. On Friday, an appeals court in New York denied the government’s request to halt that order, saying the Trump administration’s jurisdictional arguments were unlikely to succeed and that it hadn’t shown that Mahdawi’s release has caused irreparable harm.“Individual liberty substantially outweighs the government’s weak assertions of administrative and logistical costs,” wrote the three-judge panel at the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Trump administration has said Mahdawi should be deported because his activism threatens its foreign policy goals, but the judge who released him on bail ruled that he has raised a “substantial claim” that the government arrested him to stifle speech with which it disagrees.Mahdawi spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday, a day after pro-Palestinian protestors clashed with campus security guards inside the university’s main library. At least 80 people were taken into custody, police said.
