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.

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.

Obviously this is bad, but there’s something awfully romantic about an old-fashioned Louvre jewel heist. www.npr.org/2025/10/19/n...
Masked thieves steal 'priceless' jewels from the Louvre Museum
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the heist "a major, highly organized operation" that lasted just seven minutes. Authorities were still drawing up the value of the stolen items.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The work to defend Utahns’ right to a fair and representative government will continue to move forward.
NEW: In the fight for fair maps in Utah, we just submitted 2 proposed congressional maps to the court that align with voter-approved redistricting reforms. These maps counter the Utah legislature’s attempts at an unconstitutional end run around reforms Utahns passed via Prop 4.
