Because it's totally true, I like to say that the opposite of consent is tech company.
With the persistence of a bratty child and the ethos of a rapist, Google is basically an addict, trying to prolong its high from the "AI" bubble that it created by endlessly forcing bullshit down our throats.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…

The spectre of lawsuits is raising costs for publications, and I'm guessing this factored in heavily, in regards to who got laid off here.

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.
