Sounds about right. It's has echos of all of the empty 'I am moving to Canada’ wishcasting laments that often shows up after a U.S. presidential election.

Is a man who trafficks 15-year-olds really a pedophile? Asking for a powerful friend.
Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

This is devastating news. So grateful to Lex and everyone at Teen Vogue for their amazing political coverage in recent years.
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.
