@sfdirewolf.bsky.social just passed away. What a heartbreaking loss. And a reminder of how important Teen Vogue was.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
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.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

the astonishing thing about this wave of denialism is that we have more or less decidedly hit the point where clean energy is the *cheaper* option by some distance
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

They hit Pomona hard today. Across the Southland they are kidnapping 60+ people every week from bus stops, grocery stores, or just off the street. They took a flower seller today.
The disappearances in Los Angeles continue. Boyle Heights is a neighborhood in East L.A., not far from the part I grew up in. It is a majority Mexican/Central American heritage community.

The two Phoenix Police officers who watched this all happen are Daniel Dominguez and Anthony Goldsmith. Not only did the not arrest Recor, but they looked on as Rafael Montoya choked on his own blood and onlookers begged them to help.

In March, a security guard at Club Dwntown sucker punched Rafeal Montoya and killed him. Police officers watched it happen and did nothing and the security has never been charged. Now he’s missing.
Turns out the security guard was Charles "Brandon" Recor, a Proud Boy with a history of violence.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
