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.

Heads up comics review boys and girls!

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. www.npr.org/2025/03/21/n...

Where is our humanity?

Let's freggin goooo 💪💪💪

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! 🤞 #artistalley #procreate #whatwedointheshadows #galaxyconrichmond2024

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and time travelling kitty cat lovers everywhere. Here's the sneakiest of peeks at the cover for issue 1 of 'Chrono-Cat:There And Back Again!!!' by @sharphandjovas.bsky.social @rono64.bsky.social and me. Coming soon from @markosia.bsky.social

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.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

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.

As someone who grew up on fantasy worlds, I'm so proud to help put another one out there! What you're seeing here is the cover image for Dragon Realms Book One: Order and Chaos by James Maxstadt. #fantasyart #aiistheft #dragons #bookcover #booksky #procreate ##clipstudio

#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" (via Dexerto)

I'm truly getting the most out of my free will these days, but then again, so are the creators of these mods. ✨️ If you attended Coastal Comic Con this past weekend, you were among the first to see this one and i hope you feel honored 😩 #baldursgate3 #larianstudios #withersfanart #bignaturalwithers

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

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. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

The best part of being self-employed is doing completely irrelevant things while I "work". I can't wait to finish this piece before @sharphandjovas.bsky.social and I begin our convention season for 2025! #baldursgate3 #fanart #fantasyart #artsky #astarion #karlach #procreate ##workinprogress

Doug Mills is one of the greatest to ever do it.

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does. Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does: (1/14)

I guess it's as good a time as any to take my "first steps" onto Bluesky and share this throw back! I recycled my original sticker design as soon as I'd heard the news about #fantasticfourfirststeps and it still makes me chuckle ✨️ #fantasticfour #fanart #pedropascal #artsky #marvelfanart #mcu

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Remember, Margaret Atwood has said in interviews that nothing in Handmaid's Tale is purely fictional. It's all been done somewhere in the real world. And we're certainly learning currently that "it can't happen here" is the real fiction.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

We need to talk more explicitly & directly about how all of this authoritarian nonsense is going to kill people

“After Auschwitz, the human condition is not the same, nothing will ever be the same. Here, heaven and earth are on fire.” —Elie Wiesel

Everyday I wake up and remind myself: none of this is normal. I don’t accept it as such and will continue to call it out

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe. That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US. This is the second verified incident I've heard about. We were here 1st. #ICE

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

It's always been important to make friends and connections across communities and across borders. It's *especially* important now

Nor am I!

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Find joy where you can, show support for people on the margins where you can, and let’s help each other through, that is what I am saying.

Today and in the coming days, remember

The message a disappointingly large segment of Americans need to absorb…but won’t before it’s too late.

Selling Native children to anyone who wrote to them and sent in $10. American history. Repulsive.

Mercedes and I absolutely ate up @jamesgunn.bsky.social creature commandos. We knew we had to make art from this awesome show. Phosphorus and Weasel by me. Rest of the team by @mercynickel.bsky.social. Can’t wait to share the finished piece! #wip #dcu #dccomics #creaturecommandos #fanart #procreate
