It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
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.

Love reading these updates from Broadview. Brings me back to the Nostalgia of the first Trump term and closely following cases thinking, "This is it! We got em!" and then they get off with nary a furrowed brow.
Now in the courtroom of District Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago for the start of a scheduled status hearing in the class action accusing federal immigration agents of abusing press, clergy and the public in the Chicago area.
Ellis entered an injunction order limiting feds' use of force last week.

Ellis sets a status hearing for 3 pm next Thursday, Nov. 13.
More issues to be covered then, including how to handle possible court order violations plaintiffs have already raised.

Visiting my hometown is always fun to read the news.

Whenever the family starts a movie after 8:30pm I also find myself very low energy like “Dozy Don.” Very sad!!

Just ordered a projector bulb replacement from an commerce shop. The personal email letting me know my item shipped was delightful.
Maybe the “Amazon Killer” is a distributed mastadon style e-commerce platform? 🤔

NEW: The U.S. Congressional Budget Office was hacked.
@doublepulsar.com found that the cause may be an unpatched Cisco ASA firewall. I asked CBO about that but it did not respond to the question.

As a hearing impaired person, I commonly mispronounce words I had read but not heard.
For years I pronounced "Morale" as "More Ale" and I am convinced it's the rest of the world that is wrong!

Nah, we need to hear more about what 72 year old retirees sitting in a diner in Perry, MOanthink about national politics.
To recap, among young voters…
Prop 50: +58
Sherril: +37
Spanberger: +40
Mamdani: +61
I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.

A conservative friend called him “Temu Obama” and I have to admit it tracks. Sometimes he gives a speech that sounds profound, but this far he’s been all hat and no cattle when it comes to championing progressive values!

I created a new Reddit user account, /u/BannedForAntiFascism using a different private email.

"Here's what you need to know about global warming. It will all go to shit at the end of the century. We'll be dead, we'll have to miss it. But we'll be smiling, in gold plated coffins."
Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

Been playing Pokemon on Fridays at a local card shop with my son, on my third visit one of the players asked me if I used Hugo for my blog and to be honest I felt weird that my online life was exposed.
I mean it’s cool, but it did surprise me. 😅
