A letter from the Teen Vogue team regarding the recent changes at our publication.
November 13, 2025 at 2:35 AM
NO!!!!! With the loss of journalists Iike Lex and their team from platforms like Teen Vogue, we’re losing our greatest instruments in the fight for democracy.
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.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

There’s more throughout the thread. Wow.
Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already?

Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.

Hey chat is it bad when the gov tells you you’re not allowed to question their decree on who is and is not deserving of human rights and consideration in their ability to participate in society
It is literally my job to question not only whatever ruling by whatever court I like, but also every other bit of the law that happens to interest me. Additionally - and for everyone else - there's Art 10 EHCR, which makes it not only my job but also the law that I can, y'know, question the law.

Please follow independent news outlets that won't horserace report us into an endless night of authoritarian fascism.
