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.

Your neighbor is not your enemy.

The billionaires are lying. Because it’s easier to pick our pockets when we’re fighting each other.

More than a dozen children and adults had died from hunger within 24 hours, as of Tuesday.

Aid groups say that they have supplies to support, but that Israeli forces are preventing them from entering Gaza.

Palestinians have been gunned down and killed at the US-backed Israeli aid sites.

This is wrong. My heart breaks that so much of the world ignores this suffering. 💔 All people deserve food, shelter and bodily safety.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

This is what oligarchy is about.

While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption.

The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.”

It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay.

It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime.

No more military aid to Netanyahu.

This is rare. We legitimately don't know if Senate Dems will stop the GOP bill or not. Normally we know ahead of time if they'll cave or fight. This is in flux. Pressure matters now. If you have a Dem senator, get all your friends in state to call today/tomorrow: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
