Statement from The NewsGuild of New York and Condé United on illegal firing of four union leaders who demanded answers about this week’s layoffs at Teen Vogue, other brands Late Wednesday night, Condé Nast’s VP of Labor Relations notified the Guild that the Company was immediately terminating four Condé United leaders for engaging in the protected concerted activity of gathering in their 1 World Trade Center office to demand answers on this week’s abrupt layoffs at multiple brands including WIRED and the consolidation at Teen Vogue. These egregious terminations are a flagrant breach of the Just Cause terms of our contract and an unprecedented violation of their federally protected rights as union members to participate in a collective action. Through these illegal terminations, Condé Nast management is attempting to intimidate and silence our members' advocacy for the courageous cultural and political journalism of Teen Vogue, as well as diverting attention away from the obvious lack of corporate leadership at the company. Condé United members illegally fired are: Alma Avalle: Writer, digital producer at Bon Appetit; NewsGuild of New York first vice president, trans activist, and union leader Jake Lahut: Wired senior reporter covering the Trump White House Jasper Lo: Senior fact checker at The New Yorker and US Army veteran: outgoing first vice chair of The New Yorker Union Ben Dewey: Videographer at Condé Nast Entertainment, former vice chair of the CNE unit “Management’s attempt at union-busting, using intimidation and grossly illegal tactics to try to suppress protected union activity, will not stand,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “The NewsGuild of New York has zero tolerance for bad bosses who harass, target and disrespect our fellow Guild members. We represent nearly 6,000 media workers across the tri-state area and we stand firmly in solidarity, ready to fight for the rights of our members illegally fired from their jobs at …

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Thank you, Rev. Davis. This campaign highlighted the best and the worst of our city, and you really showed us how to look for the best. ❤️

One of my machine-gunners spoke Cambodian. One of my rifleman spoke Laotian and another spoke Cajun almost exclusively. No Marine I know gave AF because they all swore an Oath to our Nation that including "Up to and including my life." F*ck JD Vance and his prissy Yale Imperialistic view of America.

If we can embrace the Israeli destruction of Gaza City, surely we can take the next step and accept the armed occupation of our own cities.

I’m pretty sure Trump also originally thought “asylum seekers” were “people released from mental institutions”. Unclear whether he still believes it, but you’d think those institutions would have been emptied long ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Puerto Rico is part of the Homeland that she's in charge of security of... what the fuck is this bitch's problem?

Is Netanyahu writing Hegseth’s speeches now?

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔

(Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

I’m here, too! Great show…everyone sounds like Tom Waits. Which tracks, actually. 😵‍💫

ProPublica, Zeteo, Drop Site, Inequality Media, plenty of good folks on Substack.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic...

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

OOH!

I’m more picky on LinkedIn, because there are enough people doing the equivalent of mailing out 500 resumes, or just generally spamming.

This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social

IKR? But then, these same centrists are perfectly comfortable blaming and shaming Palestinian-Americans for rejecting a centrist candidate who ignored their pleas to take a stand against the U.S.-backed genocide of their own relatives…DESPITE ALL THE POLLING CONFIRMING THAT YUP! DEMS HATE GENOCIDE!

IIRC, when it came to a floor vote, there was nearly ZERO appetite among the assembled delegates to redo the first mayoral vote by paper ballot.

After Fateh led by 12 points on the first ballot, Frey CHOSE to exit with his delegates, rather than continue to fight.

IMO, this was Frey’s play.

They’re all the slowest.

Following Marisa is like living in the future.

This is sarcasm, right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Came here to say this.

A bad President, for instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government; I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked. He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of securing allegiance to the government.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us?

Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?
