Went to Capitol Square in Richmond to peacefully (but loudly) protest Trump's policies and Elon's cybercoup as part of the 50501 protests (50 protests, 50 state capitals, one day)—there were about 350 of us according to a police officer whom I spoke to afterwards. Here's to the resistance!

The reason a hillbilly scholarship kid like me got a great public education at William & Mary was because they invested in teachers, not bullshit computer magic. I guess that has changed.
