From the Green New Deal to Supporting the Ayatollah
Hot Air ^ | 27 Mar 2026 | John Sexton

You may have noticed by now that far-left progressives seem to shift their focus to something new every few months. You wouldn't necessarily think there was a direct path from support for the Green New Deal to chanting "Death to America" in Tehran, but for some young leftists one thing leads to another.

Yesterday the Free Press published a lengthy story about the poster girl for this sort of left-wing extremism. Her name is Calla Walsh and a few years ago she was a well-regarded youth activist working on campaigns for national democrats.

Walsh studied at two elite Boston preparatory schools, Shady Hill and Winsor, and quickly became a sort of local star for her politicking. At 15, she helped mobilize thousands of young Bostonians to take part in an international Climate Strike at City Hall, and at 17 was one of the youngest delegates at the Democratic Socialist of America’s National Convention...

...

A platinum blonde Walsh canvassed Boston neighborhoods in a Green New Deal T-shirt and face mask. Markey won the 2020 Democratic primary by 11 points and praised Walsh and her allies. Glowing profiles appeared in The New York Times and Boston magazine. “It’s a movement fueled by young people who are not afraid to raise their voices or make enemies,” Markey said after the vote.

Walsh would later claim she was groomed by an older campaign worker when she was just 17. She turned her back on traditional politics and started making trips to Cuba.

She came back from these trips writing about the glories of the revolution and attacking the "U.S. empire." By 2023 her revolutionary views escalated after she met Fergie Chambers. Chambers is a very wealthy trust fund kid turned Marxist whose stated goal has been the destruction of the United States.

They just toss that line in there out of nowhere, and then move on. What are they saying? Is this just a casual euphemism these days? No big deal?

Why would they be afraid? They won't even be arrested in this country. In Iran, they'd be shot. Here? Not even a ticket. Very easy to be "brave" here.

She looks like the American leftist’s answer to Greta.

The new poster girl for how to destroy your country.

The Left often has contradictions amongst its mobs . There is one thing that remains consistent though: the desire for absolute power over other people.
