  • Nuggets fire coach Michael Malone and oust GM Calvin Booth in stunning move as postseason looms
    apnews.com
    Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone gestures during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Golden State Warriors, Friday, April 4, 2025, in San Francisco. (AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vsquez)2025-04-08T17:48:54Z Michael Malone, who coached the Denver Nuggets to the NBA title in 2023 and has led the team to eight consecutive winning seasons, was fired Tuesday in a stunning move that comes with less than a week in the regular season.Also out: general manager Calvin Booth, whose contract will not be renewed. The Nuggets said David Adelman will become the coach for the remainder of the season.Josh Kroenke, the vice chairman of Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, said it is with no pleasure that the Nuggets made the change at coach.This decision was not made lightly and was evaluated very carefully, and we do it only with the intention of giving our group the best chance at competing for the 2025 NBA Championship and delivering another title to Denver and our fans everywhere, Kroenke said.The Nuggets are 47-32 this season with three games left but have dropped four consecutive games and are in a logjam of teams fighting for home-court advantage in Round 1 of the playoffs. Denver won the title in 2023 and lost a Game 7 at home in the Western Conference semifinals a year ago to Minnesota. The four-game slide comes despite Nuggets star Nikola Jokic a winner of three of the last four NBA MVP awards having a historic season, averaging 30 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. But even that wasnt good enough for Denver to enter the final week of the season certain of even having home court in Round 1. After the most recent loss, a 125-120 defeat to Indiana on Sunday, Jokic was asked his biggest concern with the team right now. I dont know. Maybe we just, maybe we just ... I dont know, actually, Jokic said.The Nuggets are hoping a shakeup might provide the answer.Malone had the fourth-longest tenure of any active NBA coach, behind San Antonios Gregg Popovich, Miamis Erik Spoelstra and Golden States Steve Kerr.Malone won 471 regular-season games in Denver, 39 more than Doug Moe for the franchises all-time coaching lead. While the timing of this decision is unfortunate, as Coach Malone helped build the foundation of our now championship level program, it is a necessary step to allow us to compete at the highest level right now. Championship level standards and expectations remain in place for the current season, and as we look to the future, we look forward to building on the foundations laid by Coach Malone over his record-breaking 10-year career in Denver, Kroenke said.Malone had consistent success in Denver. The Nuggets finished with losing records in his first two seasons and posted winning records in his next eight years with the club.This seasons postseason appearance will be the teams seventh in a row; it has not clinched a playoff berth yet this season but is assured of finishing no worse than in the play-in tournament.Starting with the first playoff appearance under Malone in 2019, the Nuggets got out of the first round six times in seven chances. They made the Western Conference finals in the Walt Disney World bubble in 2020 and then rolled to the championship by winning 16 of 20 playoff games in 2023. It is the second time a postseason-bound team has fired a coach in the last two weeks. Memphis parted ways with Taylor Jenkins late last month, replacing him with Tuomas Iisalo on an interim basis.Booth came to the Nuggets in 2017 as an assistant general manager and was promoted to GM in July 2020. He signed his most recent contract with the club in 2022.Kroenke credited Booth for helping put the final pieces in place for the roster that delivered Denver and our fans their first NBA championship.Calvins knowledge of the game, his passion for scouting, and his long history as a player and executive in the NBA helped lift our organization to new heights which we will continue moving forward, Kroenke said.The Nuggets play Wednesday at Sacramento.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba TIM REYNOLDS Reynolds is an Associated Press sports writer, based in South Florida. twitter mailto

  • Trump touts Supreme Court deportation ruling as a major victory, but legal fight is far from over
    apnews.com
    Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrive at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Venezuela, Sunday, March 30, 2025. (AP Photo/Cristian Hernandez)2025-04-08T18:10:34Z WASHINGTON (AP) The Trump administration is touting a Supreme Court ruling allowing it to resume deportations under the Alien Enemies Act as a major victory, but the immigration fight is far from over.The divided court found that President Donald Trump can use the 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador, a finding Trump called a GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA! in a social media post. But the justices also decided people accused of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang have to get a chance to challenge their removals a finding their lawyers called an important victory. The legal landscape could be more challenging, though, since it appears the people being held will have to file individually and in the district where they are detained. For many, thats in Texas. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is also weighing another case against a Maryland man deported by mistake that could shed light on the fate of more than 100 men accused of being gang members who have already been sent to prison in El Salvador. Heres a look at whats next: The ruling doesnt let the deportations under the law resume right away The Supreme Courts ruling lifted a restraining order from a judge in the nations capital that had blocked the Trump administration from deporting people under the law. But it doesnt allow those deportations to start right away. The court said that the accused have to be given notice and reasonable time to try and convince a judge that they shouldnt be deported. The families of multiple people who have already been deported under the Alien Enemies Act say they are not gang members, and should not have been deported under the law. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Fox News that she expected future hearings to be held in Texas, and for judges to deal with each case individually rather than issue orders about the group as a whole. It will be a much smoother, simpler hearing, she said. Texas may not be the only venue, though. The American Civil Liberties Union sued Tuesday on behalf of two immigrants who are currently held in New York and say they have been wrongly labeled as Tren de Aragua gang members, putting them at risk of deportation to the prison. Many questions about Trumps use of the act remain unresolvedThe Supreme Courts ruling did not address the constitutionality of the act or the migrants claim that they dont fall within the category of people who can be deported under the law.Its also not clear how this ruling affects the more than 100 people who have already been sent to the El Salvador prison under the Alien Enemies Act without being given an opportunity to challenge their removals before the flights, which the court now says is necessary. The ruling didnt address what kind of recourse, if any, those migrants may be entitled to. In another case involving a man mistakenly deported to the El Salvador prison, the administration has said it has no way to get him back. That man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was not deported under the Alien Enemies Act, but the administration has conceded that he shouldnt have been sent to El Salvador because an immigration judge found he likely would face persecution by local gangs.Chief Justice John Roberts agreed Monday to pause a deadline for the Trump administration to bring Garcia back to the U.S. The case has become a flashpoint in Trumps fight with the courtsEven before the Supreme Courts ruling, the case had become one of the most contentious legal battles waged by the administration over Trumps sweeping executive actions. Trump has called for the judges impeachment, prompting a rare statement from Roberts to say that such action is not the appropriate response to disagreements over court rulings.Boasberg has been contemplating whether to hold any administration officials in contempt of court for ignoring his orders last month to turn around planes that were carrying the deportees to El Salvador. Boasberg had been expected to rule as early as this week on whether there are grounds to find anyone in contempt. During a hearing last week, he said the Trump administration may have acted in bad faith by trying to rush the migrants out of the country before a court could step in to block the deportations. Its not clear whether Boasberg would move forward with contempt proceedings after the Supreme Courts ruling vacating his order. A Justice Department lawyer told the judge Monday evening that the Supreme Courts decision eliminates the basis for any further action. The Justice Department has said the administration didnt violate the judges order, arguing it didnt apply to planes that had already left U.S. airspace by the time his command came down.___ Associated Press writer Cedar Attanasio in New York City contributed to this story.

  • Lesbian soccer star Ashlyn Harris opens up about 'dark' struggle with drug she abused in college
    www.pride.com
    After years of hiding her problem, former soccer star Ashlyn Harris is getting candid about the drug addiction she battled in her youth.While playing soccer at the University of North Carolina, Harris admitted she turned to amphetamines while dealing with repeated sports injuries.I was getting really heavily addicted to Adderall and misusing it, Harris revealed on the March 21 episode of the Question Everything with Danielle Robay podcast, per E News. I was taking it all the time. I would go days without sleeping. It was wild. I felt like I was gonna give myself a heart attack. I was crushing it. I was snorting it. It was so problematic.The iconic lesbian soccer star said that a toxic body image had something to do with her continued abuse of the medication as well.Then I was like, Oh, it makes me skinny. It curbs my appetite. It was just a toxic, toxic time for me because it was the first time that I started to have my character tested because I started to get injured, the 39-year-old retired athlete explained. Harris, who spent part of 2023 and 2024 in the headlines amid cheating rumors surrounding her relationship with One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush, said that her addiction problem was going on while she was recovering from ACL and labrum injuries, but her college soccer coach Anson Dorrance was very supportive. It got really, really dark and I had to make some serious adjustments, she explained, and Anson would have me read books.She told podcast host Danielle Robby that Mans Search for Meanings message about reframing suffering changed my life.Harris says shes trying not to pass along her issues to her two children (Sloane, 4, and Ocean, 2) who she shares with ex-wife and former soccer pro Ali Krieger.See on InstagramI have a lot of trauma in my life and I have a lot of scars. I do not want to project and place that on my children, she confided. When you become a mom and you're molding young humans, your perspective in life changes. You have to get your s--t together because they see and hear everything.Now the two-time FIFA Womens World Cup winner is focused on being the best role model she can be for her kids.I just want to give my kids the best tools to be whoever they want to be, Harris explained. But at the core of them, they need to be good people. They have to be good people. How they serve their community, how they show up for their friends, that matters.

  • Watch Elon Musk die inside as he is trolled by gamers he appears desperate to impress
    www.pride.com
    Elon Musk is no stranger to getting trolled. The internet has laughed at his terrible Hitler-esque haircut, his cringey photo op with President Donald Trump led to people posting hilarious NSFW captions, and his trans daughter Vivian Wilson has turned roasting her father into an art form.But as the Tesla and X CEO has taken on an outsized role within the federal government, where hes been leading the charge to cut as much from it as possible, the internets desire to keep him humble has only seemed to increase.Now Musk is going viral after getting mercilessly swarmed by trolls while livestreaming himself playing Path of Exile 2 during a flight on his private jet. (@) Just a few minutes into the 45-minute stream, during which Musk rarely spoke and repeatedly died, the head of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) started receiving messages from other players that ripped him apart.You have no friends and will die alone, one player wrote so many times the message took over the screen. Someone else commented, Elon, deep down you will always be cringe no matter how much money or power you have. (@) Other players took a different approach, with one asking Musk to make it clap for daddy. Another viewer claimed to be Ashley St. Claire, Musks former partner who he is in the middle of a custody battle over their five-month-old child, by asking him to please pay your child support.Another player filled the screen by commenting over and over again, You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages. (@) The stream was meant to be an airborne continuity test of his Starlink internet service, but before rage quitting, Musk created a character named Kekius Maximus, who was killed by one of the games tutorial bosses because of a "bad connection," The Verge reports. (@) This did nothing to repair his reputation with other gamers which was already in the toilet after being accused multiple times by professional players who have accused him of lying about his skill level and who allege Musk pays more talented players to level up his characters for him or that hes boosting his character with third-party upgrades, according to The New York Times.His estranged daughter even told Twitch streamer Hasan Piker during a livestream that Musk is godawful at video games. This is so cringe. Why would you even pretend to be? It's fine not to be a gamer, Wilson said, Newsweek reports.

  • AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government cant bar its journalists
    apnews.com
    The Associated Press logo is shown at the entrance to the news organization's office in New York on Thursday, July 13, 2023. (AP Photo/Aaron Jackson, File2025-04-08T21:16:18Z A federal judge ordered the White House on Tuesday to restore The Associated Press full access to cover presidential events, ruling on a case that touched at the heart of the First Amendment and affirming that the government cannot punish the news organization for the content of its speech.U.S.. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, an appointee of Donald Trump, ruled that the government had cant retaliate against the APs decision not to follow the presidents executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The decision handed the AP a major victory at a time the White House has been challenging the press on several levels.Under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalistsbe it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhereit cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints, McFadden wrote. The Constitution requires no less. The AP has been blocked since Feb. 11 from being among the small group of journalists to cover Trump in the Oval Office or aboard Air Force One, with sporadic ability to cover him at events in East Room. The organization had asked McFadden to rule that Trump had violated APs constitutional right to free speech by taking the action because he disagreed with the words that its journalists use. He had earlier declined APs request to reverse the changes through an injunction.It was unclear how quickly the White House would move to put McFaddens ruling into effect. The government has a week to respond. DAVID BAUDER Bauder is the APs national media writer, covering the intersection of news, politics and entertainment. He is based in New York. twitter mailto

  • 15 lesbian coming-of-age movies that will hit your right in the feels
    www.pride.com
    Get in lesbian, we're watching movies!Theres a reason there are so many coming-of-age films. They are a powerful time in our lives, raging hormones aside, its a time when we learn so much about the world, who we are, and how we fit into it. Including for many lesbians it's time when we discover were queer.It's also a time of firsts. First loves, first heartbreaks, first impactful friendships, and first tastes of adulthood to come. It's a liminal space between who we were as children and who we will grow to be. Its exciting, scary, and beautiful.Which is to say it also makes for great fodder for excellent storytelling. Add to that a sapphic awakening and youve really got something special. So, with that in mind, here are 15 lesbian coming-of-age films that never cease to move us, entertain us, make us laugh, and yes, make us cry.Alice JniorThis Brazilian dramedy is an all too rare coming-of-age story following the journey of a sapphic trans young woman. In it, Alice is a 17-year-old trans-YouTuber whose life takes a turn when she has no choice but to leave her progressive city life behind, instead of a small rural town and Catholic high school.

Where to watch: KanopyBackspotOut actress Devery Jacobs stars as Riley in this coming-of-age film set in the world of competitive cheerleading. Riley is an out and proud teen, with a girlfriend Amanda (Kudakwashe Rutendo), who both get the opportunity to join an elite cheerleading team. While this is Rileys dream come true the pressure to perform and to achieve perfection comes with intense pressure and psychological cost. What makes this film stand out in the genre, aside from its stellar cast which also includes Rachel Evan Woods playing a lesbian coach, is that the source of the drama is never focused on Rileys queer identity. Nor is she shamed for her queerness. Where to watch: Rent on Prime VideoBooksmartNot all coming-of-age stories have to be heartfelt or melodramatic, sometimes they can be just plain fun. Take, for example, this hilarious comedy starring Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever as Molly and Amy, respectively. The two are best friends who have done everything right. They have worked hard and gotten into the college of thier dreams, only to learn on the last day of school, and so have many of their counterparts, who, unlike them, did not sacrifice their social lives in pursuit of thier collegiate dreams.

Turns out they were right, and Megan soon finds herself falling for another team in the program, the rebellious, proudly lesbian, Graham (Clea DuVall). This film is a true camp masterpiece that also co-stars Melanie Lynskey, Cathy Moriarty, and RuPaul Charles. Where to watch: Plex CrushWhile were on a roll with the feel-good lesbian coming-of-age stories, we would be remiss if we didn't include Crush on this list! The film which stars as queer actresses Rowan Blanchard as Paige Evans and Aulii Cravalho as AJ Campos sees two girls finding love on the track field. Yep, that's a very gay sentence. But in all seriousness, this sweet rivalry, to friends, to lovers' story is exactly the sweet love story that we can never get enough of. It follows Paige, whose plan to join the track team to pursue her crush Gabriella (Isabella Ferrera) is interrupted by her feelings for AJ, who just so happens to be Gabriellas twin sister. Lesbian chaos.Where to watch: HuluDating AmberThis 90s set Irish coming-of-age drama is all about the time-honored tradition of bearding. In it, Eddie (Fionn O'Shea) and Amber (Lola Petticrew) are both closeted teens who are very tired of the bullying so to hide more effectively and stop the rumors about their sexualities, they concoct a plan to pretend to be in a relationship. This poignant story is a reminder of the allyship we find in our community and how we take care of one another. Where to watch: Tubi & Prime VideoErins Guide to Kissing GirlsErins Guide to Kissing Girls is a rare example of a coming-of-age story that isn't about coming out. When this film opens, Erin (Elliot Stocking) is already out. Instead, this film focuses on how when a new girl, Sydni (Rosali Annikie) joins thier class and becomes the object of Erins affection, these shifting dynamics take a toll on her friendship with bestie Liz (Jesyca Gu). If youve ever had a friend who goes ghost when they have a crush or you're guilty of similar behavior you'll connect with this sweet, funny, and relatable film.Where to watch: TubiThe Half of ItThis sapphic coming-of-age take on the Cyrano de Bergerac trope sees a young lesbian teen named Leah (Ellie Chu) secretly writing a love letter to her crush Alexxis (Aster Flores) but heres the catch shes doing it on behalf of a jock named Daniel, who also has feelings for the popular girl. As Leah helps Daniel pursue the girl of her dreams, she is forced to come to terms with her own identity and desires.Where to watch: NetflixThe Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in LoveAnother classic that has stood the test of time, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love follows the story of the unlikely but tender romance between working-class Randy (Laurel Holloman) and popular and wealthy Evie (Nicole Ari Parker).
