I am a "child of Star Trek". Became a scientist largely because of those ideals. Many things have been invented from it. The Big One that will change everything may take generations to work out however FTL travel IS possible - the math works.

I’ve seen multiple idiots claim that the left has done a 180 on 2A, when, in fact, that is *exactly* what the right has done.
Just like they did with political violence. And cronyism. And naked corruption. And accountability. And free speech. And censorship. And big government. And pedophilia.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Minor rant: IMHO LinkedIn is a POS. They get people to put all their relevant details in there but then block anyone who might need that person's services unless you have an account. I do not want a fucking LinkedIn account again. It's bullshit. Fuck the fascist scum at LinkedIn.
