The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

I'm hoping that people keep finding it. It's quite good, quite relevant to any society facing fascism and authoritarian leadership, and of course, many nuggets for us Star Wars folks.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

He was such a familiar personality--earnest, speaking his truth carefully, patiently, & with good cheer somehow mixed in with all that recognition of horror. Those I've know are typically hard workers, willing to do any and all grunt work (cooking, cleaning, feeding strange Aldhanian livestock...)

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

If there aren't at least 12,000 Ramones-style pop punk songs titled "Antifa Girlfriend" by this weekend, we have failed as a society.

But can kalkite be used for good instead of evil? Perhaps more importantly, can we access it without blowing a planet to smithereens? asking for a friend....

An excellent actor, and master of the small facial expression - my favorite: the moment Heert is directed to find Kleya. A small, knowing, barely noticeable shake of the head, slightly pursed lips, eyes downcast when they weren't looking at Heert. It said so much in so little a moment.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I've been thinking about those guys, or rather guys put in that situation, a lot lately. I thought about it the first time I saw the episode, and I have to say, that's a scene that really stuck for me. And along side it, this image of a dispicable, self-satisfied little tyrant.

Captain Kaido of the "Andor" series stares out at the death and destruction he has ordered on the Ghorman people, with a small self-satisfied smile upon his face. We see him through a glass barrier which reflects the flames and mayhem in the plaza as he watches the Imperial forces assault the protestors.

LIBERALS: "You are fascists."

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

He's become my favorite little robot in all the Star Wars universe.
And I like that we got to see his shiny matter-of-fact self in the flashback episodes.
