My 10-year-old told me she wants to start getting more "first-hand news." So, we signed her up for @teenvogue.com's newsletters, because I can't imagine a better source for young people trying to navigate the world right now.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all
This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders.
This won’t end well for our country.
