The whole concept of rebuilding the Federation and Starfleet Academy is exactly the Hope and Change I love about Trek. It’s less tethered to canon bcs of the timeframe and thus more freedom in world building. And, having taught for 20yrs, I can still relate to the younglings as well as the staff!

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.
Again, this is terrorism.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Also, I keep hearing people say “the Trekkie fandom is toxic”. These assholes are not really Trekkies. I’ve been to the cons, I’ve been doing reviews and podcasts for nearly a decade. These people weren’t part of the community. They’re showing up now because they’re jumping on a grifter hate train.

So much of what has been levied at the modern shows basically comes down to a simple grievance — Trek moved forward and they didn’t.
It actively offends them.
This isn’t new behaviour, we saw it with other classic shows, but now we get to see just how bad it is and just how ridiculous it gets.

Seriously. "I don't like how she sits in the chair" is one of the most asinine fucking reasons for not liking a TV show I've ever heard.
