now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
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.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

What’s safe? How do we know? The anxiety of pregnancy in America.
The way the government talks about pregnancy has transformed, putting choices about medications, vaccines and care under heightened scrutiny.

Historically, older women (65+) have had more or less rock solid confidence in Social Security, more or less across party lines. That may be changing.
Older women once trusted Social Security. Now they aren’t so sure.
Diminished confidence in government institutions under President Trump and fears about the economy at large could explain the shift, experts say.

AP has the better headline. Since most readers don’t get beyond the headlines (especially on social media), they highlight the cause of the starvation upfront: the Trump regime.

ICE’s own policies say the agency should not detain pregnant, postpartum or nursing individuals.
It’s doing so anyway. Immigrants’ health is suffering. Congress has abandoned a requirement that ICE make public how many such immigrants have been detained.

ICE keeps detaining pregnant immigrants — against federal policy
But the number is impossible to measure since Congress let lapse a requirement that ICE report how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing immigrants are in custody.
