these ghouls can openly dismantle every public good that it took sometimes centuries to construct, and this is just party dogma among their own side, but there is no equivalent opposition big idea like "we must appropriate vital infrastructure away from oligarchs and back into the commonweal"
The Trump Administration appears to be continuing to move forward in its plans to dismantle the Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research, announcing yesterday plans to shed the NCAR supercomputing facility to a third party. More: tinyurl.com/26924vy4

Seriously. I did happen to see that episode my first thought was like oh, we don't know that person's story but they clearly need to be in a chair for mobility. Then I moved on. It didn't take me out of it at all. Just like Geordi's visor didn't. Why isn't it easy for the average viewer?
this is a very good thread of both reasons it's NOT unrealistic, but also reasons why it doesn't ultimately matter!! star trek isn't actually about the future. it's about us, now; the future is just a different way to talk about our CURRENT hopes, goals, ideas, hurts, regrets, shames, dreams
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

This can't be reformed. These people can't be redeemed. The entire system must be dismantled and every single person who is part of it must be tried for their crimes against humanity.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

I really don't think a lot of elected Dems understand how radicalized a lot of people like me are right now. Like the only debates about ICE and DHS I want to hear from my candidates is about who has the better plan to dismantle both and who will prosecute the ICE goons better.
