If you start watching Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3 Episode 12 “The High Ground” tonight at exactly 11:35:17pm you’ll begin the new year exactly as Data says “the Irish reunification of 2024”
It should also be clear now more than ever that there is no equivalence between the left’s pursuit of social justice and the right’s cowardly, violent, racist fear mongering. It has no place here or anywhere, and no one should stand for it.
