Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home. My deep dive on fruitarianism — a group of wellness influencers who exclusively eat raw fruit — is up on @nymag.com @thecut.com today. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

I spoke with @kimlanelaw.bsky.social and Jason Stanley about Jimmy Kimmel, Trump, and how does this moment compare to other authoritarian takeovers. The TL;DR? "This is how dictatorships behave." www.thecut.com/article/auth...

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

As we’ve reported before at @rollingstone.com, trump and his gang plotted to use the federal government against his enemies in late night tv even before he was reelected. Now…. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

ICYMI here’s my interview with @qabila.bsky.social:

The right was so quick to blame “trans ideology’ for Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week that no facts will be enough to convince them otherwise.

I spoke with Amanda Heffernan, a nurse-midwife based in Seattle, about what's like to currently work with pregnant migrants in ICE custody. What she has witnessed in Washington state mirrors other recent cases of mistreatment in detention centers across the country: www.thecut.com/article/preg...

Three months after - asking us to delay a deadline for comment - using the extra time to contact other members of the media to sow doubt in our reporting - calling our reporting "lies" without directly refuting it - PPPFA confirms our reporting was correct on a press call we were not invited to

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Grateful to the folks at @vox.com's Today, Explained for having me on to talk about Benito and Pe Erre 🇵🇷❤️‍🔥 open.spotify.com/episode/7KWv...

I have a few simple questions for anyone who’s only just changing their tune on Israel and Gaza nymag.com/intelligence...

Trump & co. talk big game about fighting sex trafficking but in practice the administration has been destroying services for survivors over the past six months. My latest: www.thecut.com/article/how-...

I've been feeling so powerless lately and this piece doesn't feel like enough but just in case people are moved to help: www.thecut.com/article/how-...

Hidaya Al-Motawaq's son is a year and a half old and weighs less than 10 pounds. Doctors warn of permanent damage to children's health due to chronic malnutrition from Israel's earlier blockade.

By documenting the dissolution of Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor’s marriage, The Valley’s second season pulled back the curtain on the mundane aspects of intimate partner violence.

Last month RFK Jr. said he wants all Americans wearing health-tracking devices within the next four years. So, can the government access the private health data collected by wearables? How much risk are we exposed to, really? I tried to figure it out. www.thecut.com/article/rfk-...

Greg Abbott has added abortion restrictions to the agenda for the TX legislature's special session, starting July 21. The state's anti-abortion movement faced a huge loss this session w/ its bill to block telehealth abortion. They've been calling for another chance. gov.texas.gov/uploads/file...

"An absolute moral failure." Around one in three disabled people are on Medicaid. I spoke to disability advocates about how devastated they are that the House passed the budget bill that will slash close to a trillion from Medicaid at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wrote about the reaction to the Diddy verdict and how I fear the cultural progress we've made due to Me Too is steadily eroding. www.thecut.com/article/the-...

BREAKING: Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering and convicted of a prostitution offense.

🚨 Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, with its 4-3 liberal majority, has struck down the state’s 1849 abortion ban: www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

The budget bill that passed the Senate Tuesday is a chilling reminder that abortion could be rendered inaccessible across vast swaths of the country where it’s still legal—not because Congress passed a prohibition, but because too many clinics shuttered.

Wrote about Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic: www.thecut.com/article/supr...

A Tennessee woman had a stillbirth in ICE custody. Kidnapping and detaining people based on their identity and then denying them medical care is just another form of eugenics. Wrote about this in my launch story for @autonomynews.co www.autonomynews.co/the-soft-eug...

Wrote about how the Democratic officials who supported Cuomo sold out survivors in order to prevent a new generation of leaders from emerging. A shameful decision that backfired spectacularly! www.thecut.com/article/andr...

Exclusive: A new analysis from the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates that the Dobbs decision overruling Roe v. Wade—issued 3 years ago tomorrow—is costing the nation more than $133 billion annually. First reported by me for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Loved chatting with @cartersherman.bsky.social about her fantastic new book The Second Coming, which explores the political and cultural forces shaping young people's sex lives. www.thecut.com/article/cart...

The number of immigrants detained in ICE facilities across the country has reached a record high of more than 56,000, the most since 2019.

An update on Adriana Smith's case: Her family says doctors delivered her baby, whom they named Chance, via emergency C-section. Chance was born late in the second trimester and is currently in NICU. The family added that Smith was to be taken off life support. www.thecut.com/article/adri...

SCOOP: Planned Parenthood informed its affiliates Tuesday that they can apply for waivers to stop providing abortions. It's an attempt to keep Medicaid funding if the GOP budget reconciliation bill passes.

Hannah Kreager, 22, is seeking asylum in Canada. She says she fears persecution due to the Trump administration’s anti-trans policies. “I was waking up and waiting to see if today was the day where the headline read that it was illegal for me to exist,” she tells me. www.thecut.com/article/tran...

Alleging Israel has committed ‘war crimes’ suggests a recognizable event: that there is a war happening and there are some crimes in it. Gaza is different.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
