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

Trump isn’t planning on ever leaving the White House. That doesn’t mean he isn’t leaving—one way or another—but it’s clear he’s not planning on it.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down? Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.

No, bundling vaccines doesn’t “overload” the immune system or make it more prone to autoimmune disease. The immune system is built to handle far more than what vaccines present, even when given together. In fact, kids encounter more immunologic challenges from a skinned knee or a day at daycare.

Large, long-term studies (including in Scandinavia, the US, and Japan) haven’t found increased autoimmune risk from bundling vaccines. The actual triggers for many autoimmune diseases remain unclear, but routine vaccines aren't among them.

If Trump tries to fire Jerome Powell, it is a essential that every single headline note that he CANNOT DO THAT, and what he is actually doing is conducting a massive, dictatorial power grab of the US financial and monetary system. A financial coup d’etat

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought. Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too. What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

No FAFO comment from me. I’m glad some folks admit voting for Trump was a mistake, but if that doesn’t come with “I should’ve voted for Kamala Harris,” it’s not complete. We don’t need more non-voters. You have to choose a side or you’re complicit in the outcome.
