Right from the start of the order, instead of later. Like right after Je'daii Order fell and the Republic was formed.
I also totally want to be able to play an Ortolan Sith Lightning Sorcerer shooting lightning from my trunk!

Another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied

Remember, when McConnell stole a S C seat from Pres. Obama, slapping democracy in the face, no Republican objected. Not Murkowski. Not Kinzinger. Not Cheney, who was elected after travesty was started but before it was completed. This IS who they are and who they are does not support democracy.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We are in the midst of overwhelming warning signs, structural authoritarian similarities, & expansion of state violence.
In the 1920s–30s, the Schutzstaffel, SA (Brownshirts) & later the SS acted as political enforcers disappearing & murdering people. They were not a neutral police.
Neither is ICE.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Starfleet Academy is first and foremost a YA show, maybe if you‘re a middle-aged man that can‘t find enjoyment in it, just leave it be?
I understand people are invested in this franchise and the negotiation what Star Trek is or isn‘t, but we‘ve had „new“ shows for a decade. Give it a rest.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
