Students are rising up against gun violence in the aftermath of the Florida shooting: Two major protests are already scheduled for March. Everything you need to know about the absurd “crisis actor” conspiracy theory: What it is, where it came from, and what Big Tech is trying to do about it (and more and more). “I am not a crisis actor”: Florida teens fire back at right-wing conspiracy theorists. Florida shooting survivor: Trump Jr. is “immature, rude, and inhuman”. School district threatens students with lengthy suspensions for joining anti-gun walkouts. The pro-Trump media has its match in the Parkland students. The country is broken, the kids are alright: The Parkland shooting may be a sea change moment after all.
