I don’t know who needs to hear this but Pluto TV has several Star Trek channels under sci-fi. Separate channels for The original series, TNG, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. It’s been a delight to revisit these. #startrek #tvsky

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

It’s Black History Month folks. If you turn a rich tomato color when you sit out in the sun, you need to be sending money to a Black person. Cashapp, Zelle, Venmo, or whichever.
