those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Thank you so much for amplifying, Aiyana! Hi everyone. I was the R&B Reporter at VIBE for 4 years prior to the merger. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but on behalf of my former team, we thank you for your support.

This is absolutely heartbreaking news. Alice's work was world-changing. It changed me. She was the leader we needed. I have no words to meet the moment. Feels like she always did.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

NEW for @inkstickmedia.com: I spoke with former Human Rights Campaign employees & activists with @genderlib.com @adalahjustice.bsky.social about the 2-year campaign for America's largest LGBT advocacy group to divest from the arms manufacturer Northrop Grumman. inkstickmedia.com/largest-lgbt...

chicago! how can faculty make sense of the rapidly shifting economic and epistemic conditions for learning? how should faculty exercise governance and exert expertise over expensive partnerships between universities and technology companies? join us for Theory At The Bargaining Table Dec 4!

I have gone to 2 dif concerts at dif venues 2 nights in a row that were bands from out of town (Greensboro, North Carolina and Melbourne, Australia) congratulating New York for Zohran Mamdani and saying NYC politics contributed to people paying attention to their local politics

Still looking to speak with SNAP recipients! 🚨

UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

if you told 17 year old me how thoroughly, world-historically vindicated ICP would be within a couple decades...

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"

On Wednesday, Conde Nast management illegally fired four union leaders. While our union fights these illegal dismissals, the “Fired Four” have been left with no severance or COBRA coverage. Please donate to help cover their living expenses at the link below.

We know about police violence during CRM, but there was also COINTELPRO type surveillance by local dep'ts. And resistance by CORE & SNCC who confronted police abuses head-on, with sit-ins at precincts, blocking streets to protest officer abuse, & more. Join us Monday to learn more. Free class ⬇️

As the Trump admin creates more chaos over funding SNAP benefits, uncertainty is taking a toll. Young people I spoke to while reporting described how profoundly stressful the chaos is: "Uncertainty over SNAP delays “builds this anxiety of, ‘Well, if this is going to be taken away, what else is?’”

this is excellent three-dimensional chess. every good politician knows that the average person loves it when you openly care more about senate procedure than their lives.

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women www.teenvogue.com/story/womano...

Stand with Condé Nast Union 🚨 We’re calling on you to sign our petition telling management to reinstate the Fired Four, reverse the suspensions, and end the union busting. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

We sent a message to management today with a Slack icon change. More than half of our union participated and are demanding management reinstate the four people who were unjustly fired. Ready to show your own support? Reach out to Condé Nast management telling them to reinstate the fired four.

The trend has translated into an emphasis on family-friendly benefits like parental leave and health care coverage, as well as protections against sexual harassment.

got to post-Zohran blog @thecut.com — multiple election outcomes on Tuesday showed that refusing to fold on trans people, migrants, Muslims, and marginalized communities while pushing kitchen table issues is a winning strategy. the pundit class’s “Decision to Win”-style arguments can be put to bed

🚨 New @therealnews.com: I speak w/ a panel of grad student workers & union members from Columbia University & the University of Michigan about the chilling new reality on their campuses & what it’s like to live, learn, & work there today @swcolumbia.bsky.social therealnews.com/campus-life-...

Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired. During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.

Four union media workers were fired, in violation of their rights at work—that is a canary for all of us in this business. If we lose power at work, trust me it’s not any easier to hold anyone with political power to account.

“Jessica Tisch got her start at the NYPD in the Kelly-era Intelligence Bureau building dossiers on Muslim extremism.” @awinston.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/welcom...

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

actually just talked about this on NPR's It's Been A Minute on Monday, worth a listen

It feels a bit weird to post right now in light of what has happened to @teenvogue.com and so much of the incredible team there. What sources shared here is important, & I’m grateful I got to work on this. I reported on how young people are being impacted by delays to SNAP: “It’s about survival.”

the Teen Vogue politics section's last newsy story 🥲 Rainesford knocked it out of the park

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

This is what I wrote at the time and I still believe it even though it made a lot of people mad. inthesetimes.com/article/publ...

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

according to @jessyedwards.bsky.social of @hellgatenyc.com Curtis Sliwa just said on stage that he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Whatever polling you want to look at, there's extremely minimal evidence that anti-trans campaigns move the needle when Donald Trump is not on the ballot.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday, along with 70% of my incredible team. @teenvogue.com Thank you to everyone who has reached out. I am so grateful. For nearly 4yrs as Culture Editor, I was dedicated to humanizing and empowering young people. We move.❤️‍🩹🚀 Cash App: $kmcnab Venmo: @/kaitmcnab

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.

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

I always said I was just carrying on Lucy's torch and it was a privilege to do so. wouldn't be a Lex as Comrade Teen Vogue without Lucy as OG Comrade Teen Vogue, and it is so nice to see her get her flowers as the politics section burns down (lol)
