Greed. Total greed. Also the amount of emolument clause violations of this administration is insane.

From a little town called Keyser, West Virginia.

Hundreds of people marched 2 miles this morning from the federal courthouse in Charleston, WV to the state capitol as part of the No Kings protests.

Marchers chanted “No kings, no KKK, no fascist USA” as they walked. Dozens of people honked as they drove by and others parked to join the march.

My favorite sign. #NoKings No Kings protest in Keyser, West Virginia.

My brain kind'a went to this.

Could be worse.

Ring grants a +2 to charisma.

Congrats!

The Supreme Court just ruled that ICE can target people based on their race.

Can we get a “Fuck ICE” in the chat?

He mauls grown men.

The military and Gun Thugs took over our towns too...

During this time Right to Assembly, Right to Free Speech, and Right to Due Process were all suspended for the people of Appalachia. You could face jail time or death for just gathering in groups.

Remember us.

Just shaking my head.

Never change.

Energy here is crazy.

We just call it the Hellhorse incident at this point and always snicker/laugh whenever it is brought up.

So...at this point I'm thrown onto the giant hellhorse because 'I can't keep my feet in front of each other'...and I still have to roll to keep balance because my clumsy wizard is not exactly a natural on horseback especially in duress!

Natural 1.

Three in a row.

I rolled three natural ones in a row. We were running away from a Giant Worm creating an earthquake. Ground is shaking...roll to stay upright.

Natural 1.

The DM(gods bless her) is aware of my infamous bad luck...has a character drag me up...scold mine for running poorly. Roll again.

Natural 1.

Be as kind to yourself as possible and let yourself recover. That's above anything else y'know.

This is where I realize I have a ton of video game or video game inspired music on my Playlist as I am on the road listening to music.

Sometimes a character deserves that f-u and a double bird so I feel that.

That 'Fuck all y'all' though. That made me chuckle with that energy.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Seriously, they just want to make sure they aren't going to starve to death and this is how they're treated...what the hell are we doing?

In conclusion...all I can say is fuck you fascists. Genuinely, fuck you. The history books will remember.

And as an Appalachian, the mountains will not forget.

They're the bad guys? They're the ones you zip tie their hands for? All because they're telling Congress to NOT cut Medicaid?

I feel ashamed and embarrassed that this is the norm right now. That this cruelty is the point. That dehumanizing any other humans is the point.
