I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

SUPER SPOOKY 👻

Is this video posted somewhere other than Bluesky? I need to send to people who don't have Bluesky

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

🚨The woman being assaulted by ICE, in front of her 16 y/o daughter, IS here legally. She just got her SSN and was scared. She could not remember the number to repeat it. The child screaming in horror will NEVER be the same after today. 1/2

CBS News fired 8 on-air personalities in latest layoffs. All of them are women EXCLUSIVE: Multiple sources told The Independent that senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was added to the layoff list following a last-minute change by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

“a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute.”

GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

I'd totally watch a video of you just sounding off on your current thoughts! Have one already made or is one in the works?

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

I have a "settings," but no "manage apps." Gonna go investigate 🔎

No, the biggest gripe I have is with dems who are losing their minds about this tattoo while looking the other way as already elected dems funnel AIPAC money to fund a genocide. Commemorating genocidal behavior should not b worse than actually enabling a genocide.

I think you read into things what you wanted to read into them. I'm not cool with Nazis. But I noticed you came for me after jumping to conclusions before addressing the genocide apologists up there 👆

That's excellent to hear. So do you also condemn the list of senators funding the genocide?

I think you've all confused my offense toward your own hypocrisy as defense of the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Ah, no need to say more then. I see you.

I'll never stop laughing at how dems contort themselves to make excuses for Dems who funnel those AIPAC donations right back to Israel. Tattoos are where we draw the line, I guess. Now, if you want to denounce both Booker AND Platner, then you'd look a little more principled.

Protesters have blocked the westbound side of Canal. They are chanting "ICE out of New York now!" and "Liberation, not deportation!"

Takes one to know one, I guess.

Again, off-topic. You keep looking for ways to undercut it personally.

That's an ad hominem that still doesn't address the question.

Strawman aside, I'm saying Nazi is as Nazi does.

So intentionally or unintentionally commemorating genocidal actions with a tattoo is WORSE than actually funding a genocide with full knowledge that it is being committed while it is being committed. Got it.

I mean, it's a tattoo he is renouncing and removing while this list of senators voted to fund genocide. Are we against everyone on this list for their hatred?

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.

It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.

I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social Jenny Cohn has posted pics of Balaji saying the Nerd Reich is using Substack to set up "parallel institutions" to siphon users away from government. When will it be enough for us to stop using Substack?

Have you heard of Gregory Paige?

Yea, I hadn't either til this came across my fyp on TikTok.

He was murdered by cops, in GA.

Yet another case of being Black while at home.

This happened in early August. The cops as usual are giving the family the run around.

Balaji (a close associate of Thiel & Andreessen) leads the “network state” movement, which encourages tech elites to build their own “countries” by acquiring physical territory w/in host countries & building “parallel institutions” to replace existing ones in media, education, finance, & science 1/

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.
