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.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

New Jersey looking to go solid blue. Remember to vote on Tuesday if you haven’t already.

A tweet from Michael Pruser (@MichaelPruser) reads: “The New Jersey Early Voting file is in for 11/02. A massive day for Democrats, who more than doubled their raw vote lead.” It lists:

🔵 Democratic In Person – 253,810
🟡 All Others In Person – 135,325
🔵 DEM Raw Vote Edge: 27,621 (D +4.49%)
He adds that absentee ballots extended the Democratic edge to a DEM Absentee Raw Vote Edge: 239,245.

I had a lot of little ones. They were so sweet. I did have a pirate in my first group who almost came into the house. He was so cute.

I had a little Spider-Man who I think would have come into my house. Think he was 3 or 4. He was so adorable. But mainly had teens tonight, but the weather was terrible.

BREAKING: With millions of Americans bracing to go without healthcare and food as their SNAP benefits and ACA subsidies expire, Trump posts gaudy photos of his expensive bathroom renovation.

Absolutely repulsive.

SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans are set to stop amid the shutdown—while the Trump administration refuses to use contingency funds already approved by Congress. Trump also gave up key concessions to China at the APEC Summit. And four GOP senators broke ranks to limit his trade powers.

SNAP benefits set to run out. China gets better of Trump on trade. Senate Republicans rebuke Trump's tariff authority.

3 signs that Republicans have no intention of allowing fair elections ever again:
1. Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a duly elected Democrat.
2. The Texas GOP does a mid-decade remap to steal 5 House seats.
3. Trump is still trying to bury the truth about his plot to overturn the 2020 election.

Break the law, face the consequences. That goes for ICE agents who commit illegal acts outside of their official functions.

AI slop? Cuomo gets more Trump- like the closer we get to Election Day. Reason #4635671134599 why Mamdani is getting my vote.

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 14d

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)!
