This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

Dear god let this man cook.
Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

The Chicago GOP amplified a “protest” of Senator Chris Van Hollen so I dropped by out of curiosity and there were literally two people there lmao
QT by Danielle Carter: We will be protesting this TREASONOUS traitor. [retweeted by Chicago Republican Party]

Original tweet by Chicago Flips Red: JOIN US April 22nd at 7:00 PM to protest this Maryland sellout coming to Chicago to raise money. Why is he coming here?? Is Maryland tired of supporting illegal gang members?

The only planet on which we have to live is crying on Earth Day. We are not being good stewards & future generations will pay for our supposed leaders' failures. Big business is all about making money, funding the oligarchs in government, but not protecting Mother Earth.
