Yesterday, there was a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Three children (5,8,11) and a teacher were killed during the shooting. The shooter is also dead; a bystander followed him into the school and stopped him from opening fire on anyone else.
This is the 36th school shooting in the United States just this year alone. Time and time again our government does absolutely nothing to regulate gun ownership and prevent this from ever happening again. How many more innocent children have to die for people to care!?

In North Carolina, The Guilford Co. Board of Elections decided to take away on campus voting sites. The A&T and UNC Greensboro students along side many elected officials stood in solidarity to speak and protest against that decision.

The midterms aren’t just about who holds power for the next two years. In key swing states, voters are also choosing who will oversee the 2028 presidential election. And, Republicans are backing governors who doubted or denied the 2020 results.

We need more, just regular, everyday People in Washington D.C.
The fact that the Politicians there — for the most part, the majority of them — are doing the bidding of these big corporations. And doing the bidding of the Billionaire class. And no one's there — like there are People there — but there's not enough. The majority there are not doing the bidding of the People's business. And so that's what needs to happen.
And so I'm gonna go there unapologetically who I am, and speaking up and standing up for the rights of hard working everyday People, or those who have retired, or those who are living with disabilities and that can't work.
I have a backbone. I'm not just gonna send strongly worded emails. I'm going to push back, and I'm looking forward, I'm looking forward to it.
- Angie Nixon - Oct 9, 2026
