This is terrible news and more evidence (as if we needed it) that the media is anti-meritocratic. Teen Vogue did amazing political work.

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.

The latest World Bank data counts 125 million more people as living in extreme poverty — but the world has not gotten poorer.
A line graph titled "A comparison of World Bank estimates of extreme poverty" illustrates the global number of people living in extreme poverty. Two distinct lines are present: one in dark brown representing the previous estimates using a poverty line of $2.15 per day measured in 2017 prices, and another in blue for the latest estimates utilizing a new poverty line of $3 per day measured in 2021 prices. The brown line trends downward, starting around 2 billion in 1990 and reaching 692 million in 2024. The blue line, starting slightly higher at roughly 2.3 billion, shows a similar decline, reaching 817 million in 2024. The difference between the lines — 125 million — indicates the increase in the estimated number of people living in extreme poverty due to the new measurement criteria. The note at the bottom indicates that data has been adjusted for inflation and differences in living costs using international dollars from 2017 and 2021. The data source is the World Bank (2025)
