Fantastic well-rounded reporting on the #peptide boom from @DanMing 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=_QroTFAs… If you're in the traditional medical system like me, peptides have become a new buzzword that seems to have gotten ahead of the #science and #medicine This 12-minute video is a worthwhile watch for: 👉 What/How of peptides 👉 Why peptides and why the boom, #health #body 💰 👉 My concerns 🚩 ⭐️My bottom line: I don't know judge people taking peptides because it's a person's individual risk/benefit decision--we just don't know what the short-term (drug-drug interactions, synergies?) or long-term (autoimmune, cancer, disease prevention?) effects are

NEW: The memo sent to government employees this evening offering them buyouts very closely mirrors an email Musk sent to Twitter employees in 2022 — down to the same subject line "A Fork in the Road."

It has been almost 3 months since most of our post-petition colleagues—people who were officially let go after VICE declared bankruptcy on May 15—stopped getting paychecks. Many haven't received a single dollar in the severance they are owed. Here are some of their experiences.

Tonight is our last broadcast of @VICENews Tonight, a loss to the industry and to all of us who've worked on it. VNT has given more airtime to stories from Africa than any other US nightly news show over the last few years. Our bosses never blinked or questioned the importance..

May 11, 2022 - a year ago, journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed. The day started like any other. Her producer, Ali Al Samoudi, called to tell her about a raid in Jenin. Shireen always slept with her phone ringer on, ready to cover the news. After 6 am she was on the road. 1/16

From our days at @AJStream to @VICENews, day 1 @DanMing does it all. He’s a nuanced talented storyteller who brings it both on and behind the camera. I still remember how hard this doc hit. youtube.com/watch?v=NVogX0-5…

One of my favorite people to produce with / host with / work with is back on the market. With his skills, I know it won't be for long, but if any of you are looking for a tenacious, emotionally intelligent, intrepid journalist to join your teams, look no further than @DanMing.
Sad to say I was part of the layoffs at @VICENews today. I’m so proud of the stories I worked on during my five years with the company. I got to collaborate with some of the most talented people in the business. Please hire them all! Today is rough, but I know we'll be okay.

Trump's primary poll numbers have *risen* since he announced he was going to be indicted—and his potential 2024 foes are rallying around him and defending him. It shows how scared they *still* are of pissing off his base. vice.com/en/article/y3wg3m/t…

Today we crossed into opposition held Syria via Turkey. Those who were injured & those who lost everything tell us they knew no one would come for them. Not a single international rescuee team crossed the over to help dig up the living. They say they urgently need help.

It had been a perfect day for Caitlyne Gonzales. The Uvalde survivor saw Beto O'Rourke, one of her gun-safety heroes, speak. She took a selfie with him, got free shirts, ate fried chicken after. Then, on the way home, police lights flashed behind her family's car. A thread:

We're live on Twitch! @SamirFerdowsi and @dexdigi are talking about a new prime minister in the UK, dystopian voice-altering software, and the state of abortion rights in the U.S. See you in chat! twitch.tv/vice
At the brink of being homeless, these residents at a trailer park try to fight a corporate landlord in California, where the housing crisis has become a human rights catastrophe. My latest for @VICENews, with @DanMing asking all the right questions! youtube.com/watch?v=9DQa3Ajh…

26 states are now expected to outlaw abortion. Millions of people will be unable to end their pregnancies in their home state and, likely, forced to have children who they may not want, cannot afford to care for, or may have devastating health problems. vice.com/en/article/k7baem/t…

I’ve been spending some time in Wyoming, where someone recently set an abortion clinic on fire. Take a look:
This abortion clinic in Casper, Wyoming was supposed to open this week. Instead, someone broke in and set it on fire. It now stands as a burnt shell, with lights melting from the ceiling. @carter_sherman reports. Video production: @EVYSTADIUM

I just told my 3rd grader about the shooting. She replied: "Yeah. We had a lockdown drill today. There aren't very many hiding places in our room. The good ones all get taken in like 3 seconds." Then she left.
