She's 16 years old. She's from Sweden.

She's got 187,000 followers on Twitter.

She's leading the movement against climate change and her name is Greta Thunberg.


Her fight against climate change began last summer when she began protesting alone outside of the Swedish government until they joined the Paris agreement.

Since then she has inspired students just like herself to join the fight to save the planet. Student-based protests have broken out in Australia, Belgium, Germany, America, Japan and most notably the UK, all thanks to Greta.

More and more people are listening to her message. In fact, her Twitter following shows just how much influence she has.

At 187,000 followers, she has more followers than Green Party leaders Jonathan Bartley and Sian Berry combined. Not only that, she's rapidly approaching the same amount of followers as the Green Party itself.

Greta has Aspergers and selective mutism, but she has not allowed either of those things to stop her from speaking out.

In fact, it is her choice of words that resonate so powerfully with so many.

In a recent speech, when addressing the idea that adults want to give children hope, she stated:

"I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. And act as if our house is on fire. Because it is."

People are in awe of the young woman's passion and fortitude.










Greta has her next global mobilization planned for March 15th.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
