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.

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.

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.

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

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.

#SplitFiction director Josef Fares reacts to fans calling the game 'woke'

"'Another feminism propaganda game' ... what the fuck is this? ... I don't care what you have between your legs, that's totally not interesting to me. Good characters is what's important"

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