55 years ago today, 4 students at Kent State University were killed for protesting the Vietnam war.

Allison Krause, 19
Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20
Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20
William Knox Schroeder, 19

We must stand against war, militarism, and government attacks on protest.

it's a particularly poignantly written email about the state of democracy from a knitwear designer that's gotten me this morning.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

"Suri was teaching a course and attending Georgetown as a postdoctoral fellow".

His wife is a US citizen. They have three young children.

The US has embarked on a campaign of terror, particularly focused on educated people who are "other" than us.

Disgusting.

10/10. Did not expect to fangirl over Baldur's Gate 3 with @beckycloonan.bsky.social this weekend, but I'm oh so glad we did. These ladies are amazing and I'm so thrilled to have met them both!
Great 1st day of #galaxyconrichmond! Shared art with the people of RVA, saw some familiar faces, and then me and @mercynickel.bsky.social snuck away to SpongeBob and Patrick at @beckycloonan.bsky.social and @tulalotay.bsky.social. To say I’m happy to be back would be an understatement. 😭😭☺️☺️

GalaxyCon Richmond day 2 is in the books. Me and @mercynickel.bsky.social Did something we normally never do and snuck away to meet some folks who are totally normal and definitely not vampires… #whatwedointheshadows #vampiresonly #galaxyconrichmond #kayvannovak #harveyguillén

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

Sometimes you just have to comfort-doodle while you comfort-watch ✨️

Here's that comfort-sketch as I look forward to tabling @galaxyconrichmond and trying to sneak away to meet Kayvan Novak and Harvey Guillén if I can swing it! 🤞

Tomorrow, my bill repealing the ban on same sex marriage will be heard in House Judiciary at 8am.

The ban on same sex marriage has remained in our state constitution since the early 2000s, despite being deemed unconstitutional for the last decade. It's time to remove it.

With his detention and threatened deportation of lawful permanent U.S. resident Mahmoud Kahlil, Donald takes his contempt for the First Amendment to a disturbing new level, literally criminalizing political speech. Todd Beeton breaks it down for The Big Picture.
Trump's Disappearing Of Mahmoud Khalil Should Be A Warning For Us All
If Trump has his way, Kahlil will be just the first of many

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

The best part of being self-employed is doing completely irrelevant things while I "work".
