New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Been feeling pretty optimistic about our unique jury system the last few weeks. The people know when a case should never have been brought. The federal government keeps losing in the very few federal cases they have pursued.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Fucking disgusting

Federal agents’ use of force amid an aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago “shocks the conscience,” the Trump administration’s arguments “lack credibility,” and a top Border Patrol official lied while trying to justify the use of tear gas, a judge found Thursday. - @jonseidel.bsky.social

Hero jury saves hoagie hurler from legal grinder www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Gonna start referring to the bonkers federal cases that keep getting thrown out by juries as “sandwich courts” lmao

You could say he…beat the wrap I’ll see myself out

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

love to count myself among this sterling group of reporters who literally cannot pay rent next month👍🫡

We’ve officially reached the “even the small to medium outlets ask to license footage and photographs for free and say they will credit me,” stage in journalism. Wow, I got shot in the face with a tear gas canister and got like a dozen kinetic projectiles but PLEASE yeah here you are!

Vicious, absolutely fucking vicious behavior from Conde Nast

The wonderful writers @sn-media-guild.bsky.social have been waiting on a fair contract almost long enough to gestate a baby elephant (620 days). They have neither a contract NOR a baby elephant. All they want is a contract, to be paid for their amazing expertise.

Thinking of Emma Goldman’s prosecution and subsequent deportation for encouraging people to resist the draft and keeping a “wagonload of anarchist records and propaganda” at the organizing offices, among other things Different era, same fucking playbook

They are turning guys who voted for Rahm Emanuel twice into the Weather Underground

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

City Hall writ large are terrified of holding their own police department accountable, and communities across this city are getting wrecked as a result Why would they honor *any* agreement if they know the mayor’s office ain’t gonna do shit? Police commission meetings are a farce, it’s a mess

Rather than correcting the behavior of non-discriminant shooting by cops at protests, this shifts the blame towards press not having proper credentials. I doubt a mutual agreement will be honored by LAPD. It's not like there is a long history of them breaking laws and "agreements".

The problem is not press unable to identify themselves properly. The problem is LAPD shooting us with kinetic munitions and interfering with our work. Ysabel Jurado and Eunisses Hernandez would have us meet LAPD on LAPD’s terms when LAPD is the one breaking the law and shooting people.

Lol “confusion about who is press is leading to first amendment violations”—what about the PROTESTORS who are getting their shit rocked on the regular? Is that not *also* a first amendment violation? The constitution is supposed to protect ALL of us

My opinion? The issue isn't press passes, the issue is police behavior. When the police attack journalists who are clearly identified, including wearing press passes, giving out more of them won't help.

Once again, it is not up to the police department to determine who is and isn’t press, nor do I have any faith that possessing an LAPD press pass will actually keep journalists safe. In fact, it’s likely to do the opposite, and drive a wedge between LAPD sanctioned “press” and indies w/out the pass

Chat are we fucked

Cope HARDER Lmaooooo

So in one courtroom the DOJ is arguing that a sandwich thrown into an armor-wearing officer is a forcible assault while simultaneously in another courtroom DOJ says tackling protestors or shooting them in the head with less lethal munitions does not count as use of force. One rule for thee...

Women all over this country and across the world have strong anecdotal evidence that tear gas causes reproductive issues, but sure, it doesn’t harm people

🚨 STRIKE ALERT: Journalists at Science News are on strike and holding a 12-hour picket outside of the office! After 560 days of bargaining, the Science News Media Guild (@sn-media-guild.bsky.social) is demanding and fair contract NOW!

News puns stay winning

Less than 24 hours notice….cool cool cool

Boycott baby!!

Feeling secure in the knowledge that these little shits can still be wrecked by one well-placed kick

HAPPENING NOW: Immigrant workers calling on Dodgers to refuse invitation to White House #iceoutofLA

Applying for a few library science masters programs this cycle, wish me luck y’all

Cope harder, Mike The American public is coming for every single one of y’all’s jobs

one of my spicy takes, for example, is that limits on strikes are unconstitutional under the 13th Amendment, because if we have a right to be free from forced labor, we must necessarily have a right to stop working and negotiate the conditions of our labor

There are no natural laws in politics besides the one where good organizing gets it done

Job search status: It’s a tough market, but I remain resilient. I’m currently exploring Full-Time opportunities in communications and journalism, spaces where I can continue telling impactful stories, building connections, and shaping meaningful narratives. Any leads or recs would be appreciated.

I’m actually gonna go with “People are so eager and ready for change that they were up and ready to go to the polls, even in a state that had no elections this year”

In one and the same breath Zohran’s speech welded the loftiest visionary promises of a New Era to the most concrete & tangible aspirations for affordable housing, transportation, childcare. That is the way

the sort of headline we're seeing all over: www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

the speech

“The program is working as intended! We’re going to cancel the program”

oooo he big mad

Rad AF cover, tbh

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
