#Trekkie friends & #StarTrek fans! For @twincitiesgeek.com, I got the opportunity to dig through the canon of Star Trek episodes to find the ones that most rise to the moment and make for a solid antifascist Trek playlist. I chose 1 episode or 2-parter from each series across the franchise.

Its actually good and okay to try and find moments of joy during the horrors. Dont let anyone shame you for it.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Dreamhaven's Greg Ketter, folks. A real life comic book hero.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Somebody on our enormous #TwinCitiesGeeks Facebook group pointed out how the group spontaneously switched to "Rebellion mode" as if the 30,000+ members had been watching Star Wars their entire lives. Well, yeah.

Andor. Heated Rivalry. “From the Pyre.” And The Last Starship. Honored.

I have a small quote in this. Loved lots of media from 2025, but I really wanted to use this as a chance to plug @collinkelly.bsky.social & @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social 's work on THE LAST STARSHIP. There's a lot of #StarTrek out there, but this comic has really been something special. Check it out!
