Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism.
Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

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.

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance.
It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.
