No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
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.

The NYC mayoral election is the most important one this year in the fight against fascism.
For Trump’s opponents, this shift toward autocracy represents both a challenge and an opportunity—one that Bernie Sanders has laid the foundation for, and Zohran Mamdani and his movement have now seized.
When no one else is coming to save you, you have to save yourselves.
