I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

I sincerely wish that the people who defend PhD education were better at it.

A: this is objectively untrue.
B: the author’s premise is that critical thinking/deep reading/PhD soft skills are valuable career skills, so it’s all fine. (Nevermind that even though they are, they’re not golden tickets).

I wondered if this is what happened. I am floored by $500 million, at the same time as the government shut down, when 40 million SNAP recipients aren’t going to receive benefits. They’re starving people to cause social unrest and to justify their current actions and the use of the Insurrection Act.

Indeed, private companies remain capitalist. But they ain’t doing what Google and Microsoft are doing. I’m damned glad my money is finding its way to support Palestinians in other forms. Not via Google to contribute to a genocide (or borderland surveillance tech, ICE, etc.). It’s damned refreshing.

So good. I’ve been a @proton.me user for years, then I deGoogled for privacy & political reasons #BDS, becoming a paid user in 2020. I already love Proton. But while Google and Microsoft are profiting from the genocide, Proton is showing up. At this rate, I will forever be a customer. #FreePalestine

To help alleviate the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, Proton has donated $100,000 to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and other aid organizations working on the ground.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

NEW: Under Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County was one of the first testing grounds for ICE’s 287(g) program, which lets local police enforce immigration laws.

Many Arizonans say abuses from it parallel what’s playing out now under Trump.
