In 2016 I scoffed at the notion that Teen Vogue could be a reliable and knowledgeable source of political journalism

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.

MORE from Virginia Giuffre's family:

BREAKING: New statement from Virginia Giuffre's family.
"It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal actions."

This is our job as human beings: to care for and protect vulnerable people around the world.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire. Children are starving to death as aid remains extremely limited and vital resources like fuel, clean water, and health care dwindle down to nothing.

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do.
Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Is the Abrego Garcia Supreme Court Ruling Really "Unanimous"
Yes, all the justices agree the Maryland father should be returned to the US, but the Supreme Court shouldn't have intervened in the first place. That may have been what took so long to get a ruling.
