On Monday, journalist and independent filmmaker Lauren Southern announced her retirement from the political public sphere to take on a more full, private life. Just 23 years old, Southern plans on furthering her education, and has not ruled out political contributions in the future.

“Farewell,” Southern posted in a tweet on Monday. “I’ve enjoyed this all greatly but it’s time to start a new chapter of my life. Thank you to all my incredible colleagues who I’ll be cheering on in their fight for truth – and my wonderful supporters who made all I’ve done possible.”
