...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site
dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

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.

This is not good.
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.

We now know that in the aftermath of Shelby County there was an explosion in vote dilution (via annexations) in once-covered municipalities. As ever, keeping our eye on the local level will be of paramount importance. Unfortunately, the decline of local media will make this v difficult

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

He was definitely hired *because* he's this kind of person, not in spite of it.
"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

An adult driver angry at a child they hit with their car.

Our car culture summed up in one video.
Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

The work to defend Utahns’ right to a fair and representative government will continue to move forward.
NEW: In the fight for fair maps in Utah, we just submitted 2 proposed congressional maps to the court that align with voter-approved redistricting reforms. These maps counter the Utah legislature’s attempts at an unconstitutional end run around reforms Utahns passed via Prop 4.

House Republicans are refusing to seat Dem Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election more than a week ago. She's the last signature needed to force a vote on the Epstein files.

The soonest the GOP will act is Oct. 7. In three prior specials this year, the winners were all sworn in a day later.

That's the problem with criticism: There are very few outlets keeping it afloat. There's not enough money. And also, if you criticize an album by a popular artist, you have to be prepared to get d**th threats online because stans have nothing but time. It's insane.
