I love the way Janeway tells Chakotay she's going to her Quarters after Q's Son causes problems onboard and tries to get the crew Assimilated by the Borg.

I love Q's "DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!" line

YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump DHS CAUGHT RED-HANDED in SHADY BILLION-DOLLAR Deal!!

Palantir just scored a $1 BILLION deal to provide products and services to DHS, which kidnaps people & terrorizes our communities.

I’ve got the details, including the internal tensions by employees as Palantir forges ahead with its contracts with the Trump Regime 2.0

AND, I'm certain that Trump has already informed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) know how much money he has to pay Trump in order for the U.S. Dept. of Justice NOT to file charges against Andrew.

The American people are not Free. They are a crop. Harvested to fuel economic activity.

Healthcare is tied to employment so that those who are not productive are bankrupted and die.

To distract from the freedoms they lack they’re told freedom is gun ownership.

(Police shoot them for owning guns)

My suggestion: Dems across the nation in states & cities, pass anti-ICE legislation. ALL types of legislation & penalties. At least some of the legislation will pass muster; and locals WILL be able to hold individual ICE Agents accountable.

In the year 2026, it's so obvious how RACIST this movie is.

Yes, Gone with the Wind IS a classic movie; but the characters are WHY we are on the verge of the 2d Jim Crow Era.

Like GWTW, we glossed over Reality.

[Sittin' On] the Dock of the Bay
YouTube video by Otis Redding - Topic [Sittin' On] the Dock of the Bay

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same listen

Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

2000 miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home now

How the beaches, culture and people of Corfu hit me for six A cricket match kindled my love affair with the Greek island, inspiring both a literary festival and my new novel

... I learned from Nikos [Louvros] and from Corfu ...: swim early, before the day warms and when the water still has a faint bite. Swim after lunch, when the sea feels silky. Swim at dusk, when the surface holds the day’s heat and the light becomes thick and slow. www.theguardian.com/travel/2026/...

This type of behavior is becoming "normalized" and is a threat to society. This isn't what the founders imagined when they ratified the 2nd amendment in 1791.

If we care about this country, it's time to redefine that amendment.🗽
