Vogue guts Teen Vogue Politics team Vogue.com is merging with Teen Vogue, eliminating its politics section. Just one woman of color remains on Teen Vogue’s editorial staff.

"Teen Vogue now has no writers or editors explicitly covering politics, according to its representative union, CondΓ© United, and The NewsGuild of New York. Former Teen Vogue style editor Aiyana Ishmael said no Black women remain on Teen Vogue’s staff." objectivejournalism.org/2025/11/vogu...

One of the most significant differences between Mamdani and the other three candidates when it comes to crime seems to be that he's managed to avoid committing one. It's a real struggle for the rest!

Andrew Cuomo is the Chaos
YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Andrew Cuomo is the Chaos

Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term: the same donors, the same agenda, the same chaos.

But I believe New Yorkers are hungry for a different kind of politicsβ€”one that puts working people first.

This is a zoom into the front entrance of the small building in the previous photo. Over the door are metal letters in all caps, rusted enough to appear decades old. They read: UNLIMITED GROWTH INCREASES THE DIVIDE.
