This sounds really innocuous, but Teen Vogue just axed their whole politics desk — everybody working on it has been laid off. This is devastating: it was a publication with a lot of reach and it was consistent in how it spoke out against this administration.

The transition, in which Teen Vogue will keep its unique editorial identity and mission, fortifies the evolving Vogue ecosystem.

Do you have a source for the politics desk being axed? That press release doesn't say it explicitly although it is hinted at heavily with:

> As a dedicated pillar on Vogue, Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication.

@gbargoud From the former editor of the Politics desk and the (as of today) other former editor of the Politics desk. I worked with both of them.

@gbargoud @zeblarson Ah yes, "career development", that thing that teenagers find so interesting and important.

@WAHa_06x36 @gbargoud Not to mention, in this dogshit environment what’s there to even write about? “Prepare for a fuckton of school that will leave you in debt? Hope there’s a job waiting for you when you graduate?”

It has strong echoes of the Washington post opinion section's "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets"
