"Back home, pregnancy is considered a rental." Man, the writers kept throwing stuff like that at you.
I love little scenes like this in #StarTrekDS9 with Quark trying to come up with a Decaffeinated Raktajino and that makes me laugh.
Things like this make me love DS9 more and make me enjoy rewatching it often.

Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

The golden ideal of a future Star Trek is ignoring the last decade of shows entirely and picking up more or less where Deep Space Nine left off, and waiting at least two seasons before a beloved main character from an old show guest stars.

There are 80,000 people being imprisoned without conviction or trial in Department of Homeland Security detention facilities.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

I think this is downstream from how Trump was reasonably effectively constrained by institutions, the courts, and his own cabinet in his first term. Low-info, highly partisan voters looked at that and thought that he kind of was George Bush again but with weirder gaffes.

you guys need to get better at playing dumb and understanding that the entire system's manpower chokes out if these guys were actually required to get a full LEO training regimen
If you're in Nevada, please call Senator Rosen and tell her that ICE officers who execute people in the street cannot be "trained" to stop doing so. It's a debased, fascist organization that must be defunded and abolished.
Her number: 202-224-6244

I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.
