When my Mom was dying of late stage cancer, she was staying in a nursing/rehab facility while we figured out next steps. She was on an IV and couldn't walk Her Aetna Medicare Advantage plan wanted to kick her out of the facility. Regular Medicare would've covered it. My story:

NEW: Private health insurance corporations are trying to trick seniors across America into signing up for Medicare Advantage. Is it less expensive? No. Is it better coverage? Also no. It’s just another way for corporations to skim more money off the ill.

I usually don’t comment on Pakistani politics. I disagree with IK on many political issues. But this is not about politics- it’s about my children’s father, his human rights & international law. For the past few years, I’ve been bullied & harassed into silence by PML-N goons,…

Shayna was literally the most integral part of NowThis and the thread that held the company together. She and the rest of our incredible copy team made all of our work better and smarter. Hire her ASAP

After more than four years at NowThis, I was laid off last week, along with a number of my incredible colleagues. I started as NowThis’ sole copy editor, and I leave having built and led a copy team I believed in so deeply, which will forever be a career highlight.

Getting laid off after 4.5 years at NowThis was gutting, but the outpouring of love, support, and appreciation I've received has been overwhelming. We are all stronger together, and I'm so grateful to all the folks who've reached out today — it means more than you know. ❤️


Here’s me discovering I got laid off at 1 AM after almost a decade working at NowThis

If you had to point to one person as the heart of soul of what NowThis was, look no further than Jas. Long hours, hellish commuting times, and ever-changing newsroom—-she’s the true MVP.

After 8.5 years at NowThis, I was laid off today along with many of my talented colleagues. I’ve produced thousands of videos and connected w/ so many amazing people. It was rough finding this out at 1AM, but I am excited to see what’s next for me. Until then my DMs are open.

Madden took our TikTok to new heights as evidence listed below. Hire him and our other incredibly talented storytellers

My time at #NowThis has come to an end. After 8 1/2 years there, I got laid off today along with many other talented people. I’m also locked out of everything. So now I’m looking for a job - any opps would be gratefully welcomed. Here are some of my fav things I worked on 🧵
