By now, everyone in America knows who David Hogg is, and the Parkland shooting survivor has been keeping up his Twitter advocacy as much as his cable television presence. Here’s Monday’s latest offering:
Sell FedEx stock! If they wanna stick with NRA we'll stick with @usps or @UPS

It’s hard to believe, but there were plenty of other students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that day — around 3,000 — but it’s pretty clear that the mainstream media has picked its “stars” and is sticking with them.
On Monday, Ben Shapiro gave a shout-out to a survivor who hasn’t been given quite the same spotlight.
The media's favorite Parkland survivors aren't the only ones out there speaking out. Give @KyleKashuv a follow.

Unbelievable, one of my greatest idols, I would watch your show everyday. The support is unbelievable, thank you all so much. #FactsDontCareAboutYourFeelings https://t.co/MlUzVwsFOY

We wrote about Kyle just a day ago, and we’re thrilled that Kyle is thrilled.
Just for perspective, here’s how a Parkland student who’s not named David Hogg is seeing things today:
So how else should we pressure @FedEx to end their relationship with the NRA? Same question for Amazon also I've been trying to cancel my prime membership along with everyone else that doesn't want to support @NRATV how should we go about that? @amazon

No wonder CNN doesn’t have this kid on speed-dial.
School gun violence must be a thing of the past. Protecting our future is of upmost importance. We MUST put aside our political party identifications and work toghether for the common good. MUST: Mental health restrictions, deeper background checks, and effective info sharing.

Sounds reasonable to us.
