Same, but at least this would give us a view into a part of Trek we've only got glimpses of. I really want to see a more Federation and less Star Fleet centered show.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

I was assured that talk of Republicans being Nazis and fascists was fearmongering and hyperbole.

I like it! 100 is a big one, so I say go big or go home.

I think it's a shame that Finnair didn't go for the retro look on a 350 a couple of years ago for their 100th. The Moomins were cute but come on...

Any other big anniversary livery wins or losses?

I don't think driverless cars are a solution to anything, but for what it's worth, the Waymos do seem fairly good at what they do.

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social I have made “How to Report ICE” zines for many localities in the US. The SALUTE protocol is included and the LUCE hotline as well for MA. Zines are available in English and Spanish for Massachusetts.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I'd like someone to ask Mr. Duffy, how much he thinks it costs to stand on a sidewalk with a cardboard sign. How much "funding" is needed exactly to enable this costly enterprise?

Is anyone going to ask one of these morons, exactly how much it costs for a person to stand outside with a cardboard sign? How much "funding" does it take Sean?

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

It was, fine. Gunn was his own worst enemy in hyping the last few episodes. I would have liked to seen more conflict within Peacemaker for leaving the Nazi earth and introspection into how he missed (waves arms frantically) all that! But overall, a fun series.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 4d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him
