James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
Your boss, your landlord, and your insurance company cares about politics.
And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

Do your research before choosing a university.
“At Texas A&M, internal emails show staff are using AI software to search syllabi and course descriptions for words that could raise concerns under new system policies restricting how faculty teach about race and gender.”

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

Keep repeating his name, especially because there’s a disinformation campaign afoot
Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
A true hero.

"This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."
