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.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

I’d say this is damn good reason for Democrats to hold fast to the shutdown until Republicans agree to protect ACA credits.
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

What this image shows so plainly is that most American communities are peaceful, calm, and untroubled until the police get there.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

So, as a reader, I feel like it’s a big cheat to have prologues or introductions not start on page 1. I noticed this when I saw my English students trying to tell me what page they were on in their independent reading, and they just waved their hands and said, It’s some letters?!?

A Black man won the presidency and they decided to burn the entire country to the ground so it won’t be something worth winning anymore.

So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER
Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.
He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

I will never never forget living through the summer of '95 in Chicago during grad school with no AC. We slept on the cement floor in lab. So so many elderly folks died. Closing the LIHEAP program, which still has millions left to distribute is evil callous cruelty.

This is going to kill people. I work in housing aid in Chicago. The '95 heat wave left 739 people dead in less than a week. LIHEAP has been a critical resource in preventing that from happening again.
