Oh my god IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LIKE ALL OF THEM LEFT! turns out they adjusted their plan between yesterday and today to synchronize with the local high-school, I am SHOCKED

Ive never ever EVER seen coordination like this before from them. It was almost complete unity basically everyone walked out and they did it all at the same time all coordinated only by themselves I am feeling ecstatic right now holy fuck

I am do proud of them right now holy fuck I'm CRYING

Even the ones who I thought would just be doing this to get out of school had signs and stuff and marched off with everyone else instead of just bailing! I'm so proud of them...

~~I thought I had already given up but hearing the kids talk about this gave me the slightest bit of hope I guess, cause at the appointed time has come and gone and nothing happened I just feel absolutely fucking gutted~~

~~There is no hope, not even the bullshit liberal nonviolent protest kind, this country is a desolation~~

I’ll always have hope in the youth. Even if they do dumb shit. Not all of them will be fuckups. They got time to grow and learn.

But one of the things I think the kids of today have learned naturally is that this world capitalism has built hasn’t got a future in it for them. Or they’re starting to realize it.
