My favorite Vic scene is when he sings “The Best is Yet to Come” with Sisko, Avery Brooks is such a great singer.

However, the scene is contrasted with the fact that in the scene previous O’Brian was strip searched by a hologram guard. Julian asks him what happened to which O’Brian retorts “I don’t want to talk about it”. The rest of the crew join in the musical ensemble but I can’t imagine O’Brian was really in the singing mood after that ordeal.

Meanwhile people like Bernie and AOC are hitting up the mid-west and the southwest in his “fighting oligarchy” tour. Schumer is tone deaf to the time and a self righteous book tour ain’t the answer. Screenshot from a Bernie update a couple days ago.

Yea I get that, and explaining its usefulness will fall on deaf GOP ears, but for the record It’s not even hazardous waste…it’s the urban soils that tend to have a lot of organic carbon content from all the living shit and garbage used as backfill especially in east coast cities. Standard protocols for direct soil sampling don’t consider carbon as much as they should and also remote methods (like GPR) don’t measure total organic carbon. Not high stakes research but important to get a full picture of the soils on a building site.

She hasn’t been layed off yet but, yea, only a matter of time…

One of my close friends got her doctorate last year and recently hired as a scientist at EPA. She is improving methods of surveying urban soils using remote methods like ground penetrating radar, this helps to inform landowners/potential developers the true conditions of the soil they are building on. A shame the government doesn’t think that’s important anymore.

It is actually incredible how even the most bipartisan bills are getting axed, like the CHIP act. I always knew he loathed Obama-Biden so much he would cancel any and everything they did but, man, it’s just sad to see he doesn’t have an ounce of decency.

Thanks! Joined.

Thanks for this advice! Other comments are helpful for long term movement building but I want to know what can be effective immediately. I am looking at buying a printer because I don’t have an easy way to print any material.

I’m a proud card carrying member of WFP! They are unfortunately politically weak but I haven’t seen what they have been up to post election frankly. I will look more into that, thanks!

I like the idea but the convenience of her office is that it is a 5 minute walk from me and I can be there near daily for at least a couple hours, I also do not have a car.

I mean I could but no one is doing anything serious and it sounds corny as fuck but be the change you want to see in the world. The biggest protests this week in NYC was about Gaza, and look, I sympathize with the conflict but class solidarity over cultural dividing lines. No one is seeing the bigger picture that our collective voices are being stifled and we are in fact entering a Regime and it doesn’t matter if you are against/for Palestine our collective right to even protest is being attacked daily.

As a young man (I’m under 30) with 2 kids I feel stuck like this. A lot of the protesting actions I would have taken are tapered by “I have to be around for my kids”, but at the same time this country is not how I want my kids to be raised in and I don’t know my own red line for this. Suffice to say if I’m thinking about this 3 weeks into Trump’s America, then I hope I will feel compelled to be more active. NYC might be coming to a heat with the Mayor Adam’s BS so I’m keeping my eye out for any manifestations in the city.
