The rest of the files to be released! 🤣 👽 Seriously tho, alien conspiracy has been used by the US government in the past to distract from military operations and of course domestic politics.

Hey fellow nerds! I'm pinch hitting (speaking) at Nerd Nite North Vancouver tonight! Hope to see you there! #space #astronomy #scicomm www.eventbrite.ca/e/exoplanets...

Kicking off my new series, "It’s Not Rocket Science." I’m an astronautical engineer, but you don’t need advanced degrees to know the status quo isn’t working. This week: how immigrants really do make America great.

Bookmarking this video for the next time someone claims that science communication can’t be engaging unless it’s about an inherently exciting topic or made personally relevant to people’s lives

Live now! Excited to chat with Mike about all the recent STO news and what's ahead!

Purchased and Installed! Looking forward to getting Voyager home...I hope!! #voyager #acrosstheunknown #StarTrek @daedalic.bsky.social

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Turns out resistance is NOT futile. A win made possible by mass organization. #minnesota

Here at the Washington Post headquarters after the mass firing of hundreds of journalists. We won’t let democracy die in darkness. #savethepost #washingtonpost #wapo

Look if I let myself start crying about all the women, especially women of color, that I saw pushed out of physics and astronomy by people who subscribe to sexist and racist views, I truly might never stop The things I saw and heard the grief feels enormous and bottomless

Episode One of EARTH GIRLS ARE ANGRY is now live! Our debut episode is a conversation about partnership, love, creativity, and how those things converge with special guests @tillybridges.bsky.social & @susanlbridges.bsky.social! Listen anywhere you get your podcasts! RSS: rss.com/podcasts/ear...

We mentioned Catrina’s new podcast in the intro of our latest episode. Looking forward to its launch!

Thinking about this as I watch public funding get cut to public educational institutions like the one I work for as well.

This episode is important. I signed up for and completed Legal Observer training with the ACLU via Mobilize last Wednesday. If we want that Star Trek, we have to actively participate in creating it, and that means playing a vital role in protecting protestors and our freedom.

That feeling of "what can I do?": Eddie Phanichkul comes on the Trektivism podcast to talk about becoming a legal observer of law enforcement interactions with civilians. Thanks to Eddie for sharing his training and experiences. @eddiep.bsky.social sites.libsyn.com/501853/legal...

Eddie Phanichkul is a trained legal observer - a role which documents interactions between law enforcement and citizens. With ICE deployments in Minneapolis and the use of lethal militarized force against civilians, we explore legal observation as a way to push back.

New Episode! Legal Observation Training with Star Trek fan Eddie Phanichkul Link in bio and comments.

Even the children who have not been kidnapped are victims of the gestapo youtu.be/0Cw36_u3_7k?...

Man I love Wolf-Rayet stars. They terrify me but I'm fascinated by them.

Despite being self-employed in a job that fights fascists, I'm going to be joining the general strike tomorrow in solidarity against ICE. I hope lots of people join me nationalshutdown.org

Trektivism will be! But our panel is Sunday morning 🖖🏼

🚨 I've obtained a list of secret watchlists the Department of Homeland Security uses to keep tabs on American citizens www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ices-secre...

Classic. It appears that editing the latest pod episode is being postponed. This is Marty the Maine Coon.

Yourself, but as a cartoon

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism and Nazis y’all www.scientificamerican.com/article/jwst...

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

🎶 People in the United States have been getting treated this way the whole time 🎶 It’s not a boomerang, it‘s an expansion

"How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people does it take, admiral?" - Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: Insurrection

Launch day brought an overwhelming outpouring of support, and we’re so grateful. This campaign is powered by people, and your encouragement reminds us we’re building something bigger than any one moment. Thank you all! Join us at TeamBree.com

Department of Homeland Security is worried about people with "class-based or economic grievances," per its annual threat assessment (leaked to me): www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leaked-doc...

Yours truly quoted in @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social “It’s a good reminder to take a moment to look up in the sky, reflect on our existence in the universe, and be reminded that it’s pretty amazing we’re alive at all zipping around on our little rock around the sun." dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

Too many Virginians are afraid of what their own government is doing to them, instead of confident it’s working for them. I’m running for Congress to protect our rights, make opportunity affordable, and build a government that works for the people. teambree.com

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

There's so much wrong with Hegseth embracing it, anyone who styles themselves the Secretary of War rather than Defense doesn't know a thing about Star Trek. It's not the cool ships or the tech, it's the people and the values they embrace. It's a 24th century to believe in.

The irony in Hegseth saying he's making #StarTrek real is his admin's transphobic move to dismiss trans service members like @breefram.bsky.social an actual Star Trek fan. Fram, an interviewee on our pod, served in Space Force. Read her post about being dismissed www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=... 1/2

The US and Germany looking at Iran like “only we get to do our citizens like that, tf is wrong with you”

Babylon 5 is one of the most politically relevant science fiction shows in this moment and I don’t think it gets talked about nearly enough on here.

Seeing YT channels like GamersNexus cover of how anti-consumer and anti-life big tech companies have become gives me hope. This serves as such a great example of how we can channel and organize our hobbies, fandoms, and passions to confront enshitification and...well...evil.

30 people were arrested in Minneapolis Friday as ICE protests continued, with 1,000 expected across the country Saturday, days after Renee Good was shot, killed.

We literally don’t need ICE for anything

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

People will still debate what Star Trek "should" be but, if they do some research, they'll discover what the man who created it meant to convey:" I believe that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day it learns to value diversity in life and in ideas.” -- G Roddenberry
