If someone is concerned about "losing their country" or feel like they arent respected, they dont give a fuck about economic policy. They just say that because it sounds better. Socioeconomics isnt simply about dollars and cents. Its about status, culture, social relationships and respect too.

women “ruining” the workplace, club culture & other third spaces is confirmation on how we’re supposed to sweep men’s predatory behavior under the rug.

overstepping boundaries all in the name of pursuing romance. men are NEVER not beating the pick me allegations.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

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.

it’s strict as hell round here. can’t even buy a little sweet treat & matcha latte!
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

There is not a single day that goes by that i don't think about the vast majority of Americans reading below a sixth grade level
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

whoever said racism is expensive did their big one & ate with that.

you really aren’t in touch with your humanity if you’re willing to fuck yourself over to spite black folks.
