Randi Weingarten quits X over platform's 'disinformation,' accuses site of spreading hate
Fox News ^ | 1/14/26 | Joshua Q. Nelson

Randi Weingarten, the leader of the American Federation of Teachers, has announced that she is leaving X due to "hate" and "disinformation." "It’s time to let X/Twitter go. This platform’s decline from a vibrant public square to what is now a platform for hate, disinformation & manipulation has been painful to experience. Find me & the AFT on Bluesky, Substack, Threads, Instagram, or Facebook," Weingarten announced on Tuesday. Weingarten is active on Bluesky, a liberal-leaning social media platform. Many once-prominent users of Twitter, now known as X since Elon Musk bought it, solely post on Bluesky. Weingarten told Reuters that both her account, and the American Federation of Teachers' account, would cease posting on X.

The oligarch can dish it out but she can't take it.

Disinformation?? Try the transgender and climate change nonsense that her union teachers push into kids minds every day.

My first thought, too. The Supreme Leader of Disinformation who is in charge of the teachers who teach leftist crap to our kids is complaining about free speech on X. That’s just too rich.

Bluesky has been pushing assassination of ICE agents.

Apparently Weingarten is fine with that.

Disinformation and hate, or inconvenient truth and the resulting anger?
Time’s up, Randi.

Is this dinosaur still around? I’m surprised that she knows what X is, much less how to use it.

Goes over to BlueCry where there's like six people tops commenting on her tweets. Comes back to X.

They all do.

She’s a communist who protects inept teachers from being fired.
She also is a huge propagandist.
She’s just a vile person

Accuse your accuser. She's blameless for her deeds now.

See how easy it is to be a radical leftist democrat?!

Was the Poor Dear exposed to opinions she had never heard before?

Oh noes! The huge manatee!

Quick, give her some pearls to clutch and keep the smelling salts at hand!

To me she represents all that is wrong with the Democrats today ... they no longer care about the country but only care about absolute power ... that’s why I call them Demoncrats.

Would Randi tell her wife to “ Drive Baby Drive”?

That’s rich. The hideous, hateful creature that is Randi Weingarten accuses X of spreading hate! She lacks self awareness and intelligence.

She’s more comfortable in her own deformative bubble.
