If you're covering the Epstein of it all, remember: they were underage *girls*. Not women.

If I could tell you how many women journalists I've known over the years who work so hard despite repeated sexual harassment and discrimination and then to live in a time when the president is openly calling a reporter piggy and that woman probably got paid a lot for that stupid book. I can't.

Don’t waste editors’ precious bandwidth with this crap. Good grief.

I truly didn’t know my mood could get any more foul but here we are

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

This is one of the weirder bits of fundamentalist rhetoric. There's an school of thought in several churches including some old Catholic ones that women are supposed to suffer because of Eve. I am not telling you it makes sense. I am telling you he's parroting a line that is a giant warning sign

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Great news for an active court case that could expand abortion access in Pennsylvania: www.democracydocket.com/opinion/abor...

Oh god is this what joy feels like???

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Teen Vogue was one of the only outlets that took young people seriously as political actors and covered how they're organizing, voting, and being impacted by state + national legislation. It was a launching pad for so many great young journalists

This is absolutely fucked. We need publications like Teen Vogue now more than ever, and editors like @leximcmenamin.com who care about shepherding good, smart, challenging work.

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.

Reasons I love Nashville: the No Kings protest and the Southern Festival of Books were side-by-side for a while and it’s the most hope I’ve felt in ages

I spent yesterday in Humphreys County, TN, reporting on the aftermath of an explosion at a munitions plant for @theguardian.com. I won’t forget the profound grief and community care that I saw: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm not religious these days but y'all best believe I'm on my knees over here for Dolly

Turns out it’s a really good time to be reading @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s “Doppelganger” (and yes I did delete this and rewrite it to fix a spelling error)

we’re gonna need a cbs news pitchbot pretty soon

“It is psychologically manipulative." "A place of constant, albeit quiet, torment.” “A lot of thoughts [were] placed into my head about how disturbing and gross and creepy people like me were... I internalized a lot of these projections.”

Bari Weiss is Bad and also I’m really enjoying all the love @radleybalko.bsky.social is getting today tbh

We should be teaching journalism hand-in-hand with history, too.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

from my latest: "The trans-shooter myth largely began circulating in 2023 around the Nashville shooting, 'as the right began rolling back LGBTQ rights in earnest'... Two years later, and just a decade after the so-called trans tipping point, anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage."

My god

New for @us.theguardian.com: Today, Michigan researchers published 2 studies showing that unconditional cash transfers to new moms lowered rates of postpartum depression, stabilized families’ housing & improved infant outcomes – saving millions in NICU spending. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sorry babe, I can't talk right now, I'm scrolling through my feed to heart every post of Hannah Einbinder saying, "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine" at the Emmys

Check out this podcast by @johnarchibald.bsky.social and @kbeccaandrews.bsky.social. It's an incredible yarn that captures the violence, loss and inhumanity of Eric Rudolph's 1990s terror campaign, and shows how it echoes forward to our current national crisis. Can't recommend it enough!

In the final episode of American Shrapnel, hosted by @johnarchibald.bsky.social and @kbeccaandrews.bsky.social, about Olympic & abortion clinic bomber Eric Rudolph, hear clinic bombing suvivor Emily Lyons give the SHIT to Rudolph in court.

This is a common complication of childbirth. I had it, my BP crashed and I was rushed to the OR for the equivalent of a D&C. These are pro-death policies.

Today, @johnarchibald.bsky.social, @johnhammontree.bsky.social and I released the final episode of American Shrapnel: The Weaponization of Eric Robert Rudolph. We're marking the occasion with an AMA, so come hang out! www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeP...

Read @rainesford.bsky.social always, but *especially* on this

Cried twice last week for this specific reason

As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/

FINALLY, some goddamn representation www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

“We’re hiring, are you 18?” Border Patrol was recruiting at the Professional Bull Riders event in Nashville this weekend

Just came here to complain that the absolute bane of my existence as a journalism professor is trying to assign good reporting that is cluttered with ads and impossible to export as a PDF

I really don't know why Leslie Jamison had to attack me like this www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I have finally started this podcast and it is amazingly well done. Kudos to this awesome team of investigative reporters. I encourage everyone to listen and learn.

Take a moment to read these words by death penalty attorney Kelley Henry, about the killing of her longtime client, 69-year-old Byron Black.

One episode in and hooked. I remember the Olympic bombing, the search for the bomber, the abortion clinic bombings, but all at a distance. @johnarchibald.bsky.social, @kbeccaandrews.bsky.social, and others bring to fore the memory, the horror, the luck, and the people who lived it. Listen.

NEWS: The Fourth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, upholds West Virginia's abortion ban that effectively blocks medication abortion against claims from GenBioPro — the generic mifepristone drugmaker — that federal law preempts that aspect of the state's ban. Judge Wilkinson wrote the majority opinion:

“Flexible schedule” in academia means you are free to work whenever you feel guilty.

A fun side effect of reporting in clinics is that it always makes me want a new tattoo
