One of the greatest gifts Alex Kurtzman gave us was bringing his friend, Tig Notaro, into Star Trek in 2018. Jett Reno is the unsung hero of #StarTrek: #StarfleetAcademy's finale and epitomizes the best things about Star Trek. 🖖
Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...
The radical anti-tax activists have driven up our national debt to make themselves richer.
It's the same playbook private equity has used to get rich killing companies.
It is time to build our future instead of looting it: bethfordemocracy.com
Promising tax cuts in response to affordability concerns is robbing Peter to pay Paul and doing political work for Republicans.
Reminder: Any politician who says "I'm slashing your taxes, but increasing funding for everything" is lying to you and thinks your stupid.
the proud boys' lawyer thinks he redacted the email addresses of the over 2000 people who donated to the fundraiser for the lawsuit, but here's the thing: no he did not lol
Drone expert Faine Greenwood, who has studied their impact on civilians in war, said there is very little in U.S. laws about drone privacy or drone data security and that drone/aerial surveillance “functions on multiple levels of psychological intimidation.” (5) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

WTAF. The majority of U. S. citizens do NOT want this GD child abuse. We do not want our tax dollars going to this fucking sick shit. Let these kids out FFS!
I don't know man I feel like this headline is bleak as hell
As with the similar one of these that went around yesterday, it’s fascinating to see the mix of contempt and fear on these young men’s faces as they’re questioned.

While complaining about the costs associated with trans servicemembers transitioning, study shows Pentagon under free-spending SecDef Hegseth spends more on lobster in 1 month than it does on trans servicemembers in 1 year.
Someone once said using AI for education is like using a forklift for weightlifting and it stuck with me.

Instead of spending $1 billion a day on the War in Iran, we could use that to invest in the American people, not more endless wars.
Yesterday, Democrat Bobbi Boudman flipped a state House seat in New Hampshire that was held by Republicans.
She won by four percentage points, after losing in the same seat by 14 points in November 2024.
We need reparations for ICE victims.
Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.
Yesterday, a 14-year-old girl from Marlborough was detained by federal immigration agents. A child with no criminal history was taken into custody in an apparent overnight attempt to use her as a hostage to coerce her father into turning himself in for deportation.
“If this was a state charge, why weren’t the police involved? Why wasn’t DCF called?” Lattarulo asked. “Why is the move always ‘arrest this child and then move her out of state’?”
