I wish they had a Student Loan Debtor PAC. 13 million people giving five dollars a month pays for some powerful lobbying. That’s all these Capitol Hill clowns seem to listen to
DCU definitely based the new Lex Luthor on this guy
Stephen Miller endorses Andrew Cuomo.
Remember when this bozo said he was gonna “repeal and replace Obamacare” way back in his first term and he never did, saying he had parts of a plan or some BS?

Remember when journalists asked follow up questions?
Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

A new class action lawsuit against Spotify alleges the company has “turned a blind eye” to “mass-scale fraudulent streaming” on its platform and that one musician in particular has been the beneficiary of “billions” of fake streams: Drake.

I read an article that said 2025 will “only” be the second or third hottest year on record, like that is a win

Facepalm

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.
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.
What is “right liberalism” lol these morons

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.
Hope she can assemble some of her old staffers and launch a new publication

I’m sure a crowdfunding campaign would ring off for her.
They are destroying what SHE built.

Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

So upset about @teenvogue.com being absorbed into Vogue.

Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets.

Now there will be no political staffers left.

When the AI bubble pops, rural America will be a data center graveyard
Excellent op-ed by environmental sociologist Eric Bond and Viktor Newby.

"We submitted FOIA requests to every Virginia locality we could identify w/ an existing, approved, or proposed data center. We found that... 25 out of a total of 31 localities have NDAs."

You've thought about it long enough. Put pen to paper and do something.

Script what the beginning looks, feels, and sounds like.

Pull yourself out of that jaded space, which is hard given the hot topic of today, but necessary.

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.
Arbitrary age limits are very difficult to explain (or justify) to kids

There have been a bunch of cool summer opportunities that someone decided my kid was too young to join in on, actual maturity and intellectual ability be darned and yeah it’s impossible to explain

Talking to the 5-year-old about the election tomorrow has backfired spectacularly because she asked if she gets to vote, and I explained to her that she needed to be 18, and she is now crying and vigorously arguing that you should be allowed to vote “whatever age you are”

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

Every single journalist with expertise in extremism I know has been fired or their publication has folded.

Not a coincidence, of course. Grateful for their work, but unfortunately for almost all of us, this work will now have to be the side hustle.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.
Uncertainty hits after vulnerable Americans woke up to a SNAP freeze
Amid a benefits pause, nonprofit groups plan to work extra hours to get food out to vulnerable residents, and local community members are also stepping up.
