An ancient and proud tradition. Not an affectation.

Saw a “Captain Picard-inspired jacket” on Etsy and now I want these as the official #Starfleet uniform in the #StarTrekLegacy era.
Put it over a gray turtleneck and black pants/boots and call it done. #TrekSky #StarTrek
Original was in a shade of red, I re-colored in Ops gold and Science blue.

If people really wanted to keep criminals off the streets? You would not have elected one. You would have voted for Harris.

I can pinpoint the exact date Star Trek became woke: September 8, 1966.
Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

But rather than ICE Jon Boy having an absolute right to shoot, looks like he absolutely violated his training and government rules.

The more people you can get to campaign for democratic or progressive candidates the better. Whether the race they’re highlighting is for town council or US senate, it’s still important . Not everyone is motivated by the same things to show up on Election Day.
