It’s been around since 1983.

@greatesttrek.com See anyone we know? Love that he’s a part of this.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

This is sickening. If no one knows what’s happening then we don’t have to help them? They’re implying that these people matter less. When groups of people are dehumanized, atrocities happen.

I had no idea he was so passionate about our evolution. But I guess I should have suspected given his fascination with our species’ development in season 1. #greatesttrek #friendsofdesoto #startrek

All-time high IS NOT the same as enough. It’s like saying that because minimum wage is at an All-time high everyone earning that is doing fine. My kid’s school district is laying off a hundred+ teachers to make up for the lack of funding in a city that is growing faster than most. MISLEADING.

The actions of those in power here in the USA have been horrific. Around the world thousands will suffer and die due to the halting of USAID funds alone. However, perhaps the right people can use this new dark age to reimagine the future of humankind. A future that looks more like Star Trek.

Sarah will be speaking on the #Humanism of Star Trek at a virtual event co-hosted by Humanists of Tallahassee, the Freethinkers Forum, and American Atheists! WED • MAR 5 • 7pm ET Registration (free) is required at https://bit.ly/hot_trek Hope to see you there! #StarTrek @atheists.org

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.

I think perhaps we (all humans everywhere) should celebrate Alexei Navalny day on the anniversary of his death. This is a man that repeatedly risked and finally gave his life, in the face of almost certain defeat, to improve the lives of others. A symbol of defiance against tyranny the world over.

Who benefits from this? How is this anything but a loss for everyone? www.space.com/the-universe...

Sigh….. apnews.com/article/dei-... Trump administration directs all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on leave

Sadly, science education is more important now than any time in the last several decades. Even if Star Trek isn’t your thing, I encourage you to support the National Center for Science Education.

I know many people don’t care about billionaires doing space stuff but if you look past them and see the thousands of people that plan and build and launch these amazing machines that represent the ability of our species when we come together, it is beautiful and awe inspiring. #newglenn #nasa

And knowing is half the battle. Good luck with anything in the next several years FDA and all regulatory agencies. 😕

Have you heard about LaserSETI, a SETI Institute project to search for lasers originating from extraterrestrial intelligence? The idea is that advanced civilizations might be using lasers for various purposes, and we could detect those laser signals from Earth. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

I want to get to Star Trek. Not space, although I’d very much love that. But to what Star Trek represents. A post-scarcity society where science, equity, exploration, and diversity are paramount. Somehow, despite all I have seen in my life, I still believe WE can get there. #greatesttrek #startrek
