I think the outdoor scenes were both shot in the same place, and that's where the confusion comes.

Easy mistake to make. I'm doing a rewatch, and watched that episode recently. When I saw the episode title I thought "Oh, that's where O'Brien tore his trousers and they were really in trouble", but no. 😅

"The Ship" was them finding a Jem'Hadar ship & defending it. That's "Rocks & Shoals" from the S6 six parter at the start of the season.

Fans: Give us something new!
Network: OK, here is something new.
Fans: No, not like that! Make it like the old stuff!
Network: OK, here's something a bit more like the old stuff.
Fans: You're just rehashing old ground! Can't you be original?!

Oh don't get him started ffs...

Oh no!

Anyway.

Do you know what the Prophet Muhammad looks like?

Same thing, same reason.

😪

Yes

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

You fell into the trap of thinking that there are two truths, rather than a *singular* truth with two different perspectives on it.

Kamala Harris warned you all, but because it came from a Democrat black woman, folk refused to believe her.

Which is nuts - when Trump was promising the same crimes.

The thing I *really* don't comprehend is that literally *none* of this should have been a surprise. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do, and I think there's far worse to come.

Yeah, but isn't your "Supreme Court" a political animal with political appointees? Which is honestly bizarre to me, but anyway. You're saying it wasn't politically expedient to stop a fascist dictator rise to power, because folk didn't care?

I'm sorry, I find that really difficult to comprehend. 😔

Trump's position has always been to end the war by Ukraine surrendering to Russian occupation & rule, and for them to give him all their mineral rights.

We've all seen this from day one. Nobody is under any illusion that Trump is on anyone's side but his own (personal) one.

Also the previous administration who had 4 years to imprison or execute him for his multiple crimes & treason. Did nothing. Instead, ensured that legally, the President is above the law & allowed him to stand again.

Are you sure? Seem to remember they found Myrtle with her head down the bogs.

Think it's more about putting someone in who served under Obama, to placate weak-willed Democrats in Congress so they'll vote for more funding for this.

A reminder that Tom Homan (now in charge of ICE in Minnesota) took a $50k bribe from an undercover FBI agent before Trump killed the investigation. Homan was never Senate confirmed because he’s a caricature of corruption. His appointment and authority is illegal.

Correct.

Just something to remember & bear in mind.

And what happened to Herr Streicher, pray tell?

People are falling out of love with Harry Potter, but I can assure it's certainly not because they're falling out of love with liberalism.

Pretty much the exact opposite actually. They won't actively support JKR.

They are actively trying to provoke civil war, or at the very least, martial law. It's the only way they can stop the midterms, and keep Trump in power until he dies.

It's the people fighting off tyranny as is their right according to your declaration of independence...

Good lord, they actually ruled in my favour this time.

I'm truly shocked that FB's AI has finally decreed I am human.

That's perfectly acceptable, enjoy.

Hold that thought. This was filmed long before the Ellison takeover. We've yet to really see what their influence in Trek will be.

Yes, that's one form. But individual protest is another. Collective individual protests are another again.

Like you say, it's a movement.

I wish you all the luck in the world.

And more power to you! I'm just confused at getting prickly about the word "protest", when that's exactly what it is. You're protesting against the fed govt and holding them to account.

OK it's not thousands marching through the streets with banners "protest", but it's still a protest.

It's great fun, and isn't that the whole point? You can tell they had an absolute blast making it, and that transcribes onto the screen. Too many fans I think sit there with a notebook, ticking and crossing off things. Just enjoy it.

What is a Resistance movement if it's not, at its heart, a "protest"?
