Dammbruch im EU-Parlament: Erstmals beschließt eine Mehrheit aus Konservativen und Rechtsextremen - also auch CDU, CSU und AfD eine Gesetzesposition. Damit werden u.a. Kinderarbeit und Menschenrechtsverletzungen in Lieferketten gefördert. Vollkommen verheerend. Schämt euch, CDU und CSU.

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.

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.”
Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”?
Or do they just sorta do it?
