That just gave me goosebumps Heroes every one of them

One would think that younger people would be concerned about: climate change; gun violence in general & school shootings in particular; and the possibility of trump garnisheeing wages over student loan default. That, so far has not happened

Yes, because, unfortunately, you now NEED TO PROVE that your country is great... Right now, the USA is GREATLY MANIPULATED...

That Alabama commencement where the 🍊💩 basically held a MAGA rally to go on ad nauseam in superlatives about how great he is (& how not great everyone else is)... ideal walk-out / boycott event.

Glenn ... is not coming next year!

It needs to be an organized idea-this is an excellent way for the next generation to be heard and resist! Let’s spread the word!

Could you be more proud of these students. I know I couldn't.💪💪💪😊

Why is the dude that went and flipped him off…me af?? lol

"And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultation..."

These Maga Party People need to get voted out.

Nazi supporters are not welcome in America? Hence, students walk out.

Seeing this...Happy Dance time

That seems like more than a "group". Good for them.

Those grads learned how to stand up for what they believe in. Good for them. Shame on VCU for asking that useless trump suckup to speak.

See adults...you can make good trouble! Every one of you should be out there doing the same FOR THE KIDS! Shame on u if you're just sitting & watching! SHAME!!

To be clear... Fascism is an authoritarian, patriarchal, and misogynist ideology, just like Christianity.

Good for them.

And criminals gonna crime

You & me both

Absolutely it’s why he lets musk do whatever he wants. It was the money, he knew how to rig the election

Same. I live in PA and in election night I had a strong gut feeling there was something really off. When McCormick beat Casey I just knew something was wrong

Yes

It had to be done.

That's a crowd! Good on you VCU!

It’s a reminder that we all have agency, but together we have power. We are we relying on our children to be brave, and not ourselves?

I especially like the graduate giving him 2 airborne fingers. It's high time to stop being nice. Congress: put away the auction paddles & paddle the motherfucker out of office.

That’s the way we do it……TOGETHER!! 👏🏼

I’m proud of them!!!

Totally love this spirit!

Bit confused: how do MAGAts know whom WE voted for. Don't you mean WE know for whom THEY voted?

Good question 💭

I doubt they got to “walk”after they walked. But they knew that going in. They appear to have received an excellent education; the diploma can come in the mail.

I hear you, but please. Take their diplomas and go. They're leaders. Finished HS early while the rest were "Look at me" or on the 5 year plan.

you need to keep reposting this a few times !!!

An absolutely great example, though it would have been good to see a lot more white students join them. We crackers are always the last to wise up.

YES! We need this energy!

Bravo young ladies and gentlemen!!!

An auditorium full of young, educated, dare I say woke people. They have restored my hope for the future of this country. Everyone of these grads just gave me the best mother's day present!

👏 👏

Wow! If one of these graduates were my kid, I'd be soooo proud.

Nicely done future leaders of America! Very nicely done

Lead by example. He doesn’t deserve, nor has he earned, your respect. Bravo 🙌

Good on them

Well done kids - we need you to be our future leaders.

EPIC response! I’m extremely impressed by these graduates! Wow, giving us all hope!👏👏👏

The double middle fingers from the one guy😭😭 love it

Thank you for sharing this…very inspiring!

Thank you, VCU students, for standing up to tyranny and fascism. You did the right thing by walking out!

Does my heart good to see this age group doing this!

👏👏👏

RIGHT?!?!

It wouldn’t be hard!

Me too!!!

Power to the people

I wonder what % of the class walked out? It looked like a majority in that clip.

Oh, this brings me so much joy I love seeing college kids making the right choice to tell Governor to fuck off excellent! No indoctrinating them today asshole!

Best video of the day!!

They will remember this with pride

This is what members of the press should be doing EVERY TIME any of the regime spouts obvious bullshit and fascist lies

The kids really are alright 👍

Good job

Good on those young heroes.

The new face of democracy, preparing for what REPUGNICANS have planned next

Thank goodness for them all.

🤟🏽Big respect, VCU Class of 2024!

Need to see more of this, on an international stage. Fuck Trump and fuck his minions.

✊❤️👏

Every graduate in America should be doing this. There will be no jobs for them, why would they entertain listening to a Republican who has screwed the country to ruin their futures?

I love it the young voices of america have spoken without saying a word.💪

Bravo to all those students!!!

Same💯

Youngkin is a bribed criminal politician!

It is to youth where we should look and hope to reverse this dictatorship.

Youngkin=LOSER

✊⚖️👏 ❤️🤍💙

👏👏👏👏

Thanx!

Adults have failed this generation in so many ways 😮‍💨

They should come back in after rapist terrorist pedophile murderer Glenn Youngkin is finished speaking and accept their diplomas.

Absolutely

If this country survives, they will be able to proudly show the video of them doing their part

So true😔 I think that is why it got me too, these are the kids who didn't have a normal high school graduation or prom either 😢

They graduated on their own term, more power to them.

Every act of resistance makes a dent.

BRAVO to those kids

👏👏👏

This was last year because our piece of crap governor spoke at commencement last year. We had democratic Senator Raphael Warnock speaking. Right now VCU is trying to withhold certain peoples degrees for having a sit down remembrance on the lawn.

Go kids go!!! Yay VCU

👏👏👏👏👏

somebody needed to ‘accidentally’ unplug the mic too.

👍👏

This is awesome. Very intelligent and engaging young people! Great statement!

Proud to be a VCU Alumnus!!! Go Rams!!!!! 🐏

That’s my alma mater! Make us proud!! 🖤 💛 🤍

A rather *large* group

They held a second ceremony

Truth.

They love him in Alabama though

Some of them refused to attend the commencement and protested outside. I saw a video.

Way to go VCU graduates! Perfect protest

A peaceful demonstration of defiance. Refusing to accept this man or his political influence during a moment which should be positive for them! I applaud their action!
