Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known. When Star Trek became an animated series, the studio hired only a few of us to reprise our roles, excluding Nichelle Nichols and myself. Leonard looked at that decision and simply said, "No."
He told them, "This show is about diversity and working together in concert. The two people who most represent that diversity are Nichelle Nichols and George Takei, and if they can't be a part of this, then I'm not interested either." He was willing to walk away from a job—a rare act of principle in this industry—because he understood that Star Trek's promise of infinite diversity in infinite combinations was not just a slogan, but a responsibility.
Best line of the night, and so true.

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.
This captures much of the frustration of today.
And they hide their faces so they can remain unaccountable.
Blood on his and Elon’s hands. Whenever you see Little Marco, picture a mountain of children’s souls crying out behind him.
