Here’s how Charlie Kirk responded to a black student who described a hate crime they endured on a college campus.

APA reports that 58.5% of U.S. teens say they get the support they need, while 93.1% of parents think they do. That gap is tied to worse health and sleep for teens. On FH, @pulphusj asks us to check in with a young person, be a constant for them, and show up in communities.

When a black thug like George Floyd is killed, we all expect the liberals to organize and justify riots, as they did. But when a MAGA figure like Charlie Kirk is killed, even the liberals don’t expect riots from us, and none occur. We’re not the party of riots—they are.

Real change comes from many moves, not a magic fix. Join us with @pulphusj on building power step by step: from campus to community, from streets to ballots. Tune in this week to get inspired: buff.ly/i3SA8XW

Nearly 47,000 people died of gun-related injuries in the United States in 2023. As people protest for safety, @pulphusj reminds us that community care is part of public safety. Check in with a teen, support crisis care and safe storage, and keep showing up locally.

So @pulphusj helped me out this week! Here's the low-dow: narrative control is all about using the tools in your organizing toolkit to get your story out there in a clear and concise fashion. If it sounds like a lot, don’t worry – it’s actually pretty simple. (2/)

ICYMI: In spite of the national office's anti-intellectual and authoritative backlash, this opinion piece urges university administrators to stand up for their student leaders by unreservedly upholding academic freedom. stltoday.com/opinion/column/…
Opinion: Punishing student activism is appalling –– but it's not new

Opinion: Punishing student activism is appalling –– but it's not new

Our nation’s leaders are sullying the values of the county’s democratic experiment while the student organizers, citizens or not, are exhibiting the best of the American project.
