Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Fortunately federal judges love it when you say "shan't" so this should go fine

I fear what we may be witnessing right now is that private/corporate ownership of the media has now become fundamentally incompatible with democracy.

Sadly, I wouldn't bet against him. I am such a fan of Zohran, but people are weird. Look at the fool in the White House.

I’ll also just note that this debate is mostly a combination of Monday-morning quarterbacking and scolding for clout. Neat.

Olympic-level shooting yourself in the fucking foot to destroy the parts of your magazine that garnered awards and huge traffic/circulation increases just so you can fire all your employees of color which I’m forced to conclude was the goal

@teenvogue.com I hope you see that you've shot yourself in the foot. People are starving for good journalism from different perspectives and experiences. Shame on you.

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.

It has nothing to do with being Black. Sears is a crazy person. He doesn't do crazy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
