It's tough to attack children who've survived a gun massacre. You'd have to be special sort of amoral fuckwad to even try.

I am literally in tears every damn time -- their eloquence, their grit and determination, their wisdom, their sheer magnificence just awes me.

And most of all: gives me hope for Earth's future.

Kids, forced to lead the nation on NRA-GOP disregard of their right to live. Kids should be wondering who they are going on a date with on Friday, or what movie to see, or any number of other things that kids do. Makes me ashamed to be an American.

God bless these kids. They are awesome. God damn the GOP and NRA. Money is not more important than lives, especially children's lives.
