I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.
I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

The unionization of digital media was and is so important, and we gotta start reminding the bosses that it’s the floor

I can’t make this rally tomorrow to speak out against the restructuring of the New School, where I loved teaching last spring and was disappointed to have my class canceled at the last second this fall. But please go show up and support us workers if you can. There’s going to be a jazz band! ✊

FINDING RENÉE RICHARDS (August 2026)
"Reasonable people can disagree on this topic, but there’s no need to go to bullying or name calling because it doesn’t set a good example for anyone," Elizabeth Eddy says on Fox News this morning, after a week of inciting targeted transphobic and racist attacks on fellow NWSL players.

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

Well, this fucking blows
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.
