I remember watching older movies and the FMC being a writer and being like "I don't wanna write about makeup and fashion. I wanna write about real issues" and just thought it was so cool that Teen Vogue *made* a place where writers and readers could get both. Thank you, staffers, for your hard work

Hi. I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold. I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

my first story @theintercept.com: organizers with @adalahjustice.bsky.social and @genderlib.com announced today that the Human Rights Campaign has ended its relationships with weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman and Raytheon following years of protests and accusations of "pinkwashing"

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

new @teenvogue.com: students at the 9 colleges invited to Trump's "college compact" have been pushing their universities to reject it. + a bit of a scoop: @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social tells us that they're launching a national coalition to support students pushing their schools to fight the Trump admin

Joy is good & builds long-term power! www.northjersey.com/story/news/p...

Subscribe to The Onion. I want to have more subscribers than The Free Press as soon as possible. This is achievable. In exchange, when we sell the company to a drone and cobalt magnate so I can dive in a pool of gold coins Scrooge McDuck-style, you will be spared my wrath and retribution.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

rare good news! @teenvogue.com Arkansas is the 2nd-most climate vulnerable state: extreme heat, tornadoes, and low investment in climate adaptation from its Republican legislature—not to mention home to Walmart's Walton family and Tyson Foods. these young ppl launched a group to make the fight fun

“These narratives around young people in ‘starter jobs’ or doing sort of superfluous work, or just work to get them through, can often function to lower young people's bargaining power and reduce the power that they have in the workplace. Unions can obviously help with giving them back that power.”

J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

One thing the DC occupation drives home is how many types of federal cops there are.

100%, all of this. It's what we advise @runforsomething.net candidates to do (and with the exception of point 10, which wasn't relevant, is basically what Zohran did in NYC.)

I’m going to be hosting on msnbc with @ayman.msnbc.com & @elisejordan.bsky.social tonight from 6-9 and tomorrow night from 6-9pm Please join us

Going on @msnbc.com at 8 pm ET to talk about Trump’s rapidly increasing authoritarianism, JB Pritzker’s response (which sets him apart from other Dem leaders), and the young activists organizing and joining protests across the nation

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

over 50 Texas Dems fled the state to block Greg Abbott and Trump's push to redraw Congressional districts. Lauren Ashley Simmons, a 36-year-old union organizer who won her seat last year as a progressive challenger to an anti-trans Dem incumbent, is one of them. new @teenvogue.com

The Times, Post, CNN, and Politico all ran stories this weekend or this morning about Trump getting his base back behind him on Epstein. The most prominent source cited to justify this claim _in all four publications_ was Steve Bannon. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Nothing I can say could come close to summarizing these words, these photos. Just read it. “Tell me how to save my daughter Rahaf from death [...] She’s suffering from malnutrition. There’s no treatment, no milk at the hospital. They’ve taken away her right to live. I see death in her eyes."

My campaign manager is IN IT TO WIN IT

The presidents of 200 US colleges declare: "As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education." Good! www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

We only get results if we fight and take action. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen. Now it’s time to bring Kilmar home.

Credit where credit’s due, this is the most meaningful thing a Dem politician has done since Trump slithered back into office. Now bring him home!

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Book launch alert! If you're in NYC, come join me to talk all things 🤝 WHEN WE'RE IN CHARGE 🤝 with @versharma.bsky.social at @greenlightbklyn.bsky.social on May 15 at 7:30pm. I promise to make it worth the cost of the babysitter. Tickets are free but pls RSVP: greenlightbookstore.com/event/2025-0...

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

*looks directly at camera*

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

The Senator made a speech ahead of Clairo’s Coachella set, urging people to make this revolution with joy. “We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.”

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

"I swear to God, if you come for Ms. Rachel, as a mother of a two and half year old... you have to come through me." @franifio.bsky.social slams right-wing calls for AG Bondi to investigate YouTube children's star Ms. Rachel over expressing sympathy for Palestinian children.

In this week’s @runforsomething.net feel-good update: When we run, we can win. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...

This #OpEd explains how a Republican-led lawsuit is really a fight for the future of civil rights in America.

CNN reports “millions” of people attended this Saturday’s marches against Trump and Musk, the first large-scale protests during his second term. Google Search interest in the protests rivals levels last seen after the Women’s March in 2017 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-musk...

What's most significant about today's day of action is the sheer number of locations where protests took place -- more than 1000 towns and cities, all over the country. That's only happened one or two times before *in all of American history.*

the artist from this story, Rebecca Burke, is working on a comic about her experience and the women she met in ICE custody. her instagram is r.e.burke if you want to follow for updates

New Yorkers: Now through April 6, you can vote in participatory budgeting -- you get a chance to directly shape how money is being spent in your district. Anyone age 11 or over (!!) can vote. rnd.council.nyc.gov/PB_Voting/

Saying that Trump will refuse to leave power in 2028 has to be one of the easiest predictions in American politics in years, maybe decades. Still remarkable how little that's understood in the U.S., or abroad.

Doechii announced that she launched a mental health hub as a resource for those “navigating anxiety.”

spoke to @aaup.bsky.social pres Todd Wolfson about AAUP's suit against the Trump admin over campus deportations: “They're abducting people off the streets. They're forcing Columbia to pass rules that say students can't protest wearing masks, yet when they abduct people, they're all wearing masks.”
