- thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
- 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 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.

- NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.
- WA state is in many ways a leader in efforts to combat the climate emergency. For the earth to run on power from solar, wind, with battery storage & electric vehicles by 2050, humanity would need a lot more mining. Today we published a ‘New Mining Boom’ photo page, linking the series’ stories.
- Over the past year, tracing the path of the Columbia from the Similkameen River in British Columbia to the Owyhee in Duck Valley, communities shared their stories about this new mining boom and its complex balance of influences. ✍️ @isabellabreda.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
- You probably have to view full-screen to see what is happening here-- baby great horned owl is watching his upstairs neighbor, the starling, who is watching the baby owl. Just incredible to witness! 🪶
- NEW: The federal hiring freeze has left a vital Bay Area aviation weather unit with just one meteorologist, risking flight delays/disruptions. The unit oversees a vast airspace, ensuring the safe landing of over a million flights yearly. I reported a radio story on this today for @kqednews.kqed.org
- ✈️🌧️I got a tip Wednesday night that the federal hiring freeze affects the meteorologists who help air traffic controllers with weather reports for flights in and out of the Bay Area. They are down to 1 meteorologist & can't rehire the three vacancies. @kqednews.kqed.org www.kqed.org/news/1203333...

- Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
- Israeli and Hamas negotiators have agreed to a cease-fire in Gaza, officials say, though many details remained unclear. The deal comes after months of shuttle diplomacy to end the war in Gaza, which began after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. nyti.ms/4jeAKD5

- Important work by my colleague Daniel Estrin, who found one of the most catastrophic Israeli strikes in Gaza killed more people than reported - and it’s been up to families themselves to record the dead. 9 nuclear families killed. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5227...
- A handful of San Diego politicians have come out against the proposed 22-story apartment building in Pacific Beach. They have also largely supported the laws that made it possible. Some very interesting nuance to this story. Check out my latest: www.kpbs.org/news/living/...

- This is really damning. NJ State Troopers, unhappy with a report on racial bias incidents, just stopped doing traffic enforcement, and seemingly weren’t on the roads (as evidenced by a vehicle from a fatal hit and run being abandoned for hours before anyone noticed).
