During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.

Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists
Trump officials set to approve ‘forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient
Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

as my fellow Teen Voguers come over here I’ll be sharing their accounts, throw them a follow, offer them work, and we’ll be launching a gofundme/something similar soon!
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.

If you read an amazing article from Teen Vogue about politics in the last several years, chances are that Lex McMenamin wrote it. Any publication that is serious about meeting this moment would be lucky to have them.
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'm seriously happy to see people repeating the "Garbage in, garbage out" thing regarding AI and huge problems with foundation models.
AI is only as good as the data fed into it. Garbage in, garbage out.

I use old t-shirts as cleaning cloths (paper towel replacements), and also curtains and blankets if i want to save parts of them. I have some hoodies I want to do the same for. Are hoodies better suited to like, being washcloth or something other than paper towel? ideas welcome!

I’m tell you all of this because you *have* to have standards.

Putting Nazi imagery, dog whistles, and what have you on your body is completely unacceptable.

It means you wish to actively advertise and market their harmful ideologies.

That should be a dealbreaker.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The thing about the Roberts Court is they're not evil geniuses, because they're not geniuses.
“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Years ago I did an experiment, I applied to various jobs with 2 of the same resume. Nick got contacted more than Nicole. Should I do the experiment again? the application process today is very different than it was then, so not sure I could replicate it again, b/c gender is asked, but worth it?
