***The Stoneman Douglas students SHINE***

[pnwmom]

I can't watch this -- a song they wrote and performed themselves -- and not cry. Can you?

1. No dry eyes here.

I've been crying every day (more than once) for over a week now. It's a GOOD kind of crying, though. Cleansing, cathartic, and above all, hopeful. These kids are determined to make a difference. And I believe they will.

3. Holy shit!

I had to replay this ten times! And I'll undoubtedly be back for more.

There is something very special about youth that transcends the body politic. They are, indeed, wiser than their years. From all recent indications, the GOP is very likely to find out just how strong they are. Poor GOP! That's good!



I have no time to complete this response. I need to queue up the video again. I am gobsmacked by these students. They are carrying our conscience. Let's celebrate them.

4. Amazing!

I can't wait to show this to my wife this afternoon.

When I was their age, it was the "children" who ended the Vietnam war while being slimed by "adults" who supposedly knew better. These young women and men inspire me.

PEACE!

5. No.

That goes beyond moving to soul hurting. But even with the tears, I feel hope. These young people are forcing the conversation that we must have, and they are calling out the BS. Shine those lights!

7. I am literally bawling my eyes out. We need change. No one needs a gun.
