I know Teen Vogue’s heel turn has been pretty hard but if this is true it’s indefensible. Alice Wong was a force and I will miss her voice 💔
The new owners of Teen Vogue have already erased her column.

Political journalism, and the elite tier of journalism generally, got taken over by billionaire courtiers, conservative activists and sex-pest dipshits and those three groups have largely hounded the real reporters out of the profession as a matter of class self-interest.

it’s so galling how little it costs to bribe this government
The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

I checked the Times on my phone this morning before the Nuzzi piece dropped. I had to scroll past 9 full screenshots worth of headlines - not counting large ads - before getting to the first Epstein headline. Zelensky's alleged corruption was treated as far more important than Trump's.

This is crazy—I can’t think of anyone to the left of center who’s ever “suggested all that matters to where you fit now is based on your identity.” That’s arguably a more accurate description of the current nativist/nationalist positions of the Republican Party, than it is to anything on the left.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
