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.

Trump says federal agents 'will not surge San Francisco' In a Truth Social post, the president said calls with San Francisco’s mayor and some tech titans convinced him to wait, for now.

Trump says "surge" operation of federal agents in San Francisco is paused following phone call with SF Mayor Lurie and some tech titans.

Unclear what this means for Oakland and other Bay Area communities. Little is known about the DHS operation Trump ordered.

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

Keep in mind that Newsom is talking about redistricting, not immigration. This is a pure political intimidation attempt, and no other explanation holds.

Should Jon Stewart Run for President in 2028? I was skeptical about a Stewart candidacy, but maybe β€˜The Daily Show’ host is the right person to shake up the Democratic presidential primaries.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

BREAKING: San Jose Taco Bell workers are ON STRIKE.
Over the past several years, we’ve been fighting for Know-Your-Rights training.

Earlier this month we made the first step in Santa Clara County.

Now Taco Bell is retaliating against one of our members after they spoke up for their rights.
