‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond
I grew up with Alex Pretti
ICE accused of overseeing “unfolding humanitarian crisis” at Texas detention center
Alex Pretti Was Killed in My Neighborhood Then ICE agents unleashed their anger and weapons on us.
I don’t always enjoy the teen comedy aspects of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy but I do love that there is a giant blue alien drill sergeant with a British accent around to heap abuse on these kids whenever they get too annoying.
Babylon 5 ambassadors to their deputies: “Don’t give away the homeworld!”
#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy president to Admiral negotiating with the Betazoids: “Fuck it! We need these guys. Give them the homeworld!”
I don’t know what planet this guy’s from but I want to hear his band play.
#StarTrek #StarFleetAcademy
Short Treks idea:
Set during the second episode of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy and told entirely by the point of view of the Federation president.
The president’s ship is in transit between Bajor and Earth when it is attacked by the Breen. She hunkers down in a safe room while simultaneously talking to Admiral Vance on subspace as he conducts negotiations with the Betazoids. Loud noises can be heard outside the safe room and occasionally members of the crew come in to brief her on the status of the battle.
One of the things that bothered me about the second episode of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy is the negotiations between Admiral Vance and the Betazoid President. The Federation calls itself a democracy and has a president who is very active in #Discovery. So why isn’t she the one negotiating here?
The irony of the recent bruhaha over Stephen Miller hating on #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy and calling for William Shatner to take over the Star Trek franchise is that:
- Shatner dislikes Miller’s boss Donald Trump.
- After the 2024 election, Shatner openly wondered how the Democrats lost to Trump.
We need to talk about the Cheronians. I didn’t mind seeing one as a one off easter egg in #Section31 but now that we’ve seen another one in #StarTrek #StarFleetAcademy they are no longer an easter egg, they are an established spacefaring race that is still traveling the stars even though they destroyed themselves way back in the 23rd century.
Obviously there were some survivors since we’ve seen them twice now. But to keep seeing them does diminish the power of the original series episode “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.” The whole point of that episode was about the destruction brought about by hatred and racism.
One thing that I have noticed is that the two post-apocalyptic Cheronians are black on the right side, just like Commissioner Bele from the original series episode. Now the black on the right Cheronians were oppressing the black on the left Cheronians and that oppression was what kicked off the civil war which destroyed Cheron. It’s possible that Bele’s people won or were only ones to escape the destruction of Cheron and that genocide and can be explored in the future. This is exactly the sort of story which Star Trek should be tackling so hopefully we can see this explored.
I can’t help but notice that every time, Lura Thok pronounces her last name, it sounds like she’s saying the “F word.”

Klingon nerd!
Seriously though, Jay-Den Kraag is another interesting addition to #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy. Typically most Klingons are warriors and Jay-Den is clearly not that with his bird watching hobby and interest in medicine.
Wow. Introducing the bridge crew. That’s something that differentiates #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy from #StarTrekDiscovery.
Heh, nonconsensual haircut. In #StarTrekDiscovery, Michael Burnham started wearing long braided hair when she went to 32nd century. I would always joke that she was wearing Programmable Matter extensions. The fact that you can completely change a person’s clothes and even hair in an instant in #StarfleetAcademy is another example of how magical Progammable Matter can be. It’s at least as big of a leap as replicators were in TNG.
The Jem’Hadar / Klingon hybrid drill sargeant in #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy is pretty cool. Would she be called a Kling’Hadar or would it be considered offensive? And how exactly do you get Jem’Hadar / Klingon hybrids anyway? Afterall in DS9 the Jem’Hadar were an all male race of clones. Possible theories:
- Odo made some changes when returned to the Great Link.
- The Jem’Hadar who didn’t need Ketracel White that Dr. Bashir discovered wasn’t the only one. These Jem’Hadar escaped the Dominion. 2a. These Jem’Hadar can only reproduce by hybridizing with other alien races.
It’s interesting to note that the first Jem’Hadar we ever meet is disappointed by his first encounter with Alpha Quadrant species because he really wanted to meet a Klingon. We haven’t really seen many Klingons in 32nd century Star Trek and out of the three we see here, two are hydrids. And the third is very different from Klingons we usually see in Star Trek. Lura Thok is an exciting addition Star Trek lore and I hope that Starfleet Academy explores her backstory and ancestry.

Beware of people who say that they want to make the Star Trek future real. According to Star Trek, the Eugenics Wars, the Second Civil War, and World War III will all happen within the next few decades.
