Scoop: Trevor Project CEO Amit Paley has been removed from his position by the board, @TeenVogue has confirmed. The move comes after 200+ employees signed a letter detailing their concerns about his leadership. Details here: teenvogue.com/story/trevor-p…

reported with @brittneymac15
We published an investigative report earlier this year about Paley's previous work for Purdue Pharma, & internal concerns at Trevor Project about his leadership/management style—including the push for large-scale growth at the expense of quality of service teenvogue.com/story/trevor-p…
Staff concerns at Trevor Project over sacrificing quality of service in order to achieve quick/large-scale growth (numbers on paper vs more meaningful growth) have been real for many months - an important issue at a suicide prevention org for LGBTQ+ youth teenvogue.com/story/trevor-p…

The 75th anniversary of the India-Pakistan partition is coming up next week. I had the opportunity to speak to exec producer @MiniB622 about what it was like getting Marvel Studios, of all places, to bring that historic, traumatic event to life onscreen teenvogue.com/story/inside-m…
"A lot of people at Marvel didn’t know about partition" until Ms. Marvel, says exec producer @MiniB622. "I think they were really fascinated about the fact that this existed — that was their question, 'why don’t we know about this? This is crazy.'" teenvogue.com/story/inside-m…
The crew filmed partition scenes in Thailand and Atlanta, and gathered additional footage in Pakistan. The show does a compelling job of showing the chaos and trauma of such a mass migration, where an estimated 14 million people were displaced. teenvogue.com/story/inside-m…

I do not understand the desire to extrapolate dire national "lessons" from specific statewide/local races

there are learnings in every election for every party, but the rush to sweeping generalizations after everything we've been through seems so dated and out of touch
lazy take. the word I'm looking for is lazy

The colorism conversation around In The Heights has quickly been reduced to headlines and tweets claiming there are no Dominicans or Afro-Latinx people in the cast.
The conversation is about *colorism* - and it's very much worth having. It'd also be nice if people (editors, tweeters) would take care not to erase the identities of people who are in the movie. It can be tough to balance but it's not impossible, I think
Leslie Grace, one of the main leads of In The Heights, was born to Dominican parents in the Bronx. She identifies as Afro-Latina. thegrio.com/2021/06/10/cor…

Agree; even in British politics it didn't seem to have a lasting effect.

Here's the website for the Jo Cox Foundation which her sister and others set up: jocoxfoundation.org
The UK has faced a similar problem to the US, with the all-encompassing slow-motion trainwreck that is Brexit — the oxygen that the disaster has taken up leaves little room for anything else, let alone nuance. Similar to the many failures of the Trump administration.
But Jo Cox's murder is an essential part of the Brexit story, the nativist, white supremacist, anti-immigrant, far-right extremist story taking hold in national politics. Once again, Black and brown journalists tried to sound the alarm on this during the Trump campaign in 2015.

The response of Texas Republican Party officials to this is appalling
‘Trump tweeted a video of the Trump supporters following the Biden bus saying, “I LOVE TEXAS!”

Texas GOP Chairman Allen West dismissed questions regarding the incident. “It is more fake news and propaganda. Prepare to lose ... stop bothering me,” West said in a statement.’
WOW the full statement from the Texas GOP chairman is even more appalling - he accuses BLM protesters of threatening to rape Mrs. McCloskey in the St. Louis incident, a claim I have never heard before.
