What a loss for all of us that Conde Nast decided to axe its most relevant publication @teenvogue.com — and how ugly to fire union organizers standing up for their laid off colleagues.
Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Trump claims ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells another story. Records show that none of ICE’s agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.
Instead, the leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
