MAGA Twitter Gets Faulty Edges Owner Candace Owens Trending Over Pipe Dream Supreme Court Bid
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Davis / Getty Candace Owens might be a lot of things and plenty of them unsavory may we add, but could you imagine her as a U.S. Supreme Court justice?

The fiercely intense segment of the social media network tends to attach itself to its edgeless warrior queen in Candace Owens, propping her up as the leading example of how Black folks should divest from the Democratic Party and liberal politics. Owens happily leans into her role as a Black leader in the conservative space and was delighted at Twitter making mention of her for the pipe dream bid for the nation’s highest court. “Am I really trending because America wants me to be the next Supreme Court justice?

Rita Moreno, Ariana DeBose & Rachel Zegler Tell Their Side of ‘West Side Story’
There’s a saying that you should never meet your idols, but Rachel Zegler and Ariana DeBose beg to differ. It was the spring of 2019 when Rita Moreno showed up to rehearsals for the new West Side Story movie at Gelsey Kirkland dance studios in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood. She is an actor and executive producer on the film, but to many of the young members of the cast, the first Latina actress to win an Academy Award meant so much more than that. Moreno strode into the room and asked to meet the person playing Anita, the heir to her Oscar-winning role from the 1961 adaptation of the musical, but she was nowhere to be found. “I was having a full-fledged panic attack,” DeBose admits. “I hid underneath the bleachers for like 20 minutes until I could get mys...
