I know the hot topic is that Trump is in the Epstein emails but this is just a reminder that A LOT of powerful men are - and I want the full reckoning - the fathers and the grandfathers, the Democrats and the Republicans, the “nice guys” and the villains. No loyalties or excuses from these parts.

This is giving me Sassy sadness all over again.
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.
