My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Let's connect dots , the Guardian is reporting the AfD is being support by the Trump regime, Poilievre caucus members met with AfD . The European extreme right is anchored on anti immigration and white nationalism @acoyne www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Trump and Hegseth are also withholding Patriot missiles that have been paid for by Ukraine and its allies, once again in an attempt to force capitulation. Patriot missile batteries are the primary defensive weapon used to protect Ukraine from Russian ballistic missiles. This is simply murder.
