Devastating. Teen Vogue was fearless in its coverage of national and international politics — they were one of the first publications to give many of us young Palestinian women a space to speak without censorship. They embodied the ethics we should all strive for as journalists.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, 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.

Read @AidaAlami on the last Columbia protester in ICE detention. A judge recommended her release in June: “No convincing evidence linking her to terrorist activity had been brought up. In response, the government contended that she posed a flight risk” https://t.co/Oz3xExuF9p

I am a digital culture reporter who has written for dozens of outlets over the past decade and have only wanted the beat to have the respect it deserves. This week proves why its important for those with internet literacy to be in newsrooms.

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding. https://t.co/X8dIwlNXqp
