I was laid off today from HuffPost. I'm bummed for my colleagues who also lost jobs at a really critical juncture for our industry. But I'm grateful for the opportunity to travel the country covering national politics and elections (a job I'd love to continue elsewhere!).

I've gotten to do a lot of work I'm really proud of HuffPost, from many corners of the US. These are some of the pieces I still think about. I spent time embedded in Springfield, Ohio, as it grappled with cats, dogs, Trump and all the rest: huffpost.com/entry/springfi…

Briefly back to say: yesterday, I was laid off after 10 years at HuffPost. I’m obviously gutted. But once I take a breath, I’ll be open to jobs & freelance work, both in journalism and outside of it, given the state of our industry. [email protected]; Signal: marinafang.72

My last piece HuffPost published after I was laid off is this examination of Questlove's upcoming doc on Sly Stone, which should have probably been two separate films.

Folks have been sending me a lot of news lately, and I haven’t responded due to some news of my own: Me and my incredible wife Tess welcomed a baby into the world. So happy and in love. Needless to say, I’ll be taking an indefinite hiatus from all other news. See ya soon!

I'm honored to have won a WGA Award for Outstanding Writing for my feature on Hamas' view of the Gaza war 6 months after Oct 7 — a beast of reporting + writing made possible by my incredible colleagues HuffPost 🙏🏽🧿 Here's to more journalistic ambition & to solidarity, forever.

Maybe I’ll just take a quick peek at Twitter during parental leave— ahhh nope nope nope nope I’m good

NEW: 404 Media has seen parts of a Palantir-powered ICE database that allows for highly specific filtering of people, which allows for searches of students, people with tattoos, from specific countries, by visa status, etc: 404media.co/inside-a-power…

for MSNBC I wrote about the history of white vigilantism & the growing MAGA hunger to aid ICE terror by becoming informants/snitches, including a look at a shady app that promises to pay you if you help deport your neighbor msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

NEW: I talked to people who attended A Million Lives, the so-called "Fyre Fest of BookTok." Apparently 500 people were expected to show up + 30 did. Also, the entertainment at the "Lavender Romantasy Ball" was a security guard holding a mini JBL speaker. thecut.com/article/millio…

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt invites conspiracy theorist Zerohedge to the "new media" seat and their "reporter" asks about the Clinton "body count" and Jeffrey Epstein's ties to intel agencies, including Israel's. Congrats, America. Good job.

UPDATE: Since we published our piece on Liv Schmidt and the Skinni Societe, Meta has demonetized her account and Schmidt is no longer able to sell subscriptions. Meta also said her main account is now restricted to users 18+

Probably nothing to do with the documentary that Alex Gibney/ Jigsaw has been working on about Musk ….
