🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Taylor Swift’s new Voter Registration post results in record-breaking registration numbers.
During National Voting Day, the pop superstar shared a message on Instagram urging her 272 million followers to register to vote.
The results were astounding.
After Swift’s message, 157,041 eligible voters visited the registration site, marking the largest National Voter Registration Day since 2020.
There was also a 72% increase in 18-year-old registrations compared to 2019 and a 115% increase in that age range compared to 2022.
This isn’t the first time Swift has reminded her fans of the importance of voting. A post on July also led to record breaking registrations.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! 👇
We all know that Gen Z is a powerhouse group that is already primed to vote for progressives and Democrats!
We need to make an effort to erase the barriers to registering and encourage young people to vote!
Thank you @taylorswift13 for helping to make this happen! 💙

Schools banning ChatGPT? Instead of banning technology, here’s an example of how schools can adjust to the reality of generative AI. Consider a high school history class, and a typical assignment: to read a history book, and write an essay… (thread)

I applaud Christina Ellis and Edha Gupta for taking on their school district's book ban in York. Despite a troubling rise in bans like this across the Nation, young activists are more determined than ever to promote and protect justice. https://t.co/wvx5Y5u33k
