I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Moss: Private Investigator

Due to their unique traits, mosses have been used as forensic evidence to determine how a crime occurred, sometimes even linking a person to a very specific location. 🧵⬇️

So, then, no, the Teen Vogue they're absorbing into the Vogue.com site is not going to be the same Teen Vogue that has been doing such strong consistent political work. Cool, cool, cool.
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.

It remains unsettling how transparently unrelated media layoffs tend to be to the actual quality of work. The boldness of TEEN VOGUE's politics coverage has been one of the most inspiring stories of a historically desolate media environment.

...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.”

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree.

It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind.

It worked. ❤️

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out.

They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

Per witness, Steve was filming an arrest when feds knocked a group of people backwards and grabbed him. She says it appeared targeted to her since he had been filming CBP interaction with the protester from start to finish.

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.
