Putting Chekov in perspective, imagine if Star Trek: Enterprise, which premiered right after 9/11, had introduced a Muslim officer in its second season. Typical with Trek of this era, Enterprise would address 9/11 only through metaphor.
In Star Trek, Chekov represented a future where the U.S. & Russia were allies (though the TOS Earth was clearly not one government, as Kirk would often mock Chekov's biased Russian history). In TNG, Worf represents a future where the Federation & Klingons are allies. It's less overtly political.
What's crazy about this clip isn't trump's lackey hemming and hawing about shit Trump literally did 6 years ago, it's Dana Bash's reluctance to even suggest it out loud in the first place.
BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

I was on a bike ride with my friend about 3 miles from home and we saw some ominous looking clouds about 5 miles ahead of us so i looked up the weather forecast, it showed nothing, so we continued on our bike ride. as we restarted i said something like "sometimes i like living in the future"
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?
A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.

I take the potential for internecine violence in this country very seriously. And I've tried to be careful with my rhetoric around this. But how long are we supposed to sit by and respond politely when the other side talks EXCLUSIVELY about killing or imprisoning our loved ones?

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

Look man I'm not going to have this debate with you. If you want to make the argument that Democrats have to throw trans people under the bus to win an election then make that argument but you can't turn around and then insist that trans people have to vote for them regardless. That's all I'm saying

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.
