thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

Who’s tracking the best crash out’s? I know one of you are making a thread

Every single journalist with expertise in extremism I know has been fired or their publication has folded. Not a coincidence, of course. Grateful for their work, but unfortunately for almost all of us, this work will now have to be the side hustle.

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.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

If you want to know more about ICE’s third-country removals, I keep what I believe is the only public tracker of all of them here: hardghistory.ghost.io/tracking-all... There are more than you probably think.

mainstream media report on jd vance’s twitter mutuals, challenge level: impossible

For my last story for a week, I spoke with the people painting rainbows all over Houston to protest the rainbow crosswalk removal the other week: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.” Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

In middle school, I was making a grilled cheese on an electric griddle. It smelled so good I leaned in to sniff it, and burned a line across my chin. This was the day before 6th grade picture day.

Children tear-gassed. Teenagers tackled to the ground. Bellingcat analysed footage of clashes between federal officers and civilians after a judge issued a restraining order on crowd-control tactics in Illinois: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/10...

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people. Check out our investigation alongside @evidentmedia.org

Part Two of the #ForeclosureFiles reporting explores how the Trump regime gutted the CFPB, which was investigating the type of "zombie loans" reported on in Part One www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202... Donate now to help DDoSecrets keep publishing: donorbox.org/supporting-d...

Recent GPS interference near Venezuela and Trinidad, per GPSJAM, as noticed by a Bellingcat workshop participant. I believe this is a recent development for the area. CC @lemonodor.bsky.social

Jewish Insider is now running a "what about" piece against those who are critical of the US-backed UAE's relationship to the Sudanese RSF.

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis. Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

My story from today: Texas city removes anti-border wall mural after loss of funding threat from governor apnews.com/article/texa...

GPAHE, co-led by Heidi Beirich, excoriated @gqmagazine.bsky.social in a letter over the blog post they published, “Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?” They accused GQ of “normalizing an extremist who fantasizes about ethnic cleansing.”

"The removal eliminated a passage that read, “Our founders established ADL with the clear understanding that the fight against any one form of prejudice or hate cannot succeed without countering hate of all forms.”"

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

LATEST: We're identifying several far-right figures involved in the neo-Nazi magazine Rope Culture, including a Canadian Nazi podcaster-turned-Orthodox priest, a Danish black metal musician, and a notorious American pedophile and failed political candidate.

my friend Grace is the woman who stood up to the guy in the Nazi SS uniform in those viral videos youve probably seen- he broke her nose with a beer stein - please share & donate and give her a hand with medical expenses, recovery and potential expenses gofund.me/72cb1a415

so Grokipedia is really bad, in case anybody was wondering, but I'm going to just kind of quickly write a short thread about why. I'm going to focus on the article of neo-fascist William Luther Pierce, because I just published my MA thesis on him a few months ago. Which Grokipedia cites.

The second part of our investigation into the neo-Nazi Rope Culture web server has everything you could ask for: a Nazi arrested for child pornography, a painting by a Nazi leader, a Nazi editor getting mad at a Nazi writer for sloppy writing, and Facebook amplifying a Nazi website.

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

I wrote the first version of this draft almost exactly a year ago, but I wasn’t ready. I am now. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/27/t...
