I think it's a conversation worth having. My father was part of the Great Migration and the difference in outcomes for the family that moved to Cali vs those that stayed in Ga and Fla is stark. We are talking generational wealth vs paycheck to paycheck.

Shaft @theshaft.co · 08/05/2026
I do understand it's not easy. There's also generational trauma that those places have and continue to impart on our communities. The great migration happened for a reason. Perhaps it's time to finish the job. Also, LA is pretty awesome. There is also Oakland.

Star Trek existed before corporate facists took it over. I have hundreds of pre ellison episodes and many movies to enjoy. Remember we watched 12 years of reruns before we saw the original cast in a movie.

#RIP #JesseJackson and for those who are throwing shade, Jesse Jackson’s actions in the 1950s-1980s had him marked for death and yet he persisted.

14/ There's no clean exit from this. No exclamations of qapla'. Just a realization that the path ahead may well be paved by the bodies of a few and the souls of many.

Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
13/ Worf said, “there are people who share in the lies and the dishonor.” He wasn’t only naming a bad leader, he was naming the system around the leader. And that’s the situation, not just a person doing it, but a network sharing in in the lies, dishonor and sadly profiting from it .
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
12/ Once the lie becomes identity, the "our side” lies trotted out as facts become attacks. The test shifts from “is it true?” to “repeat it anyway?”
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
11/ The pattern stays the same: something happens → a “version” is announced → anyone pointing at the record gets framed as disloyal.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
10/ Because the lie doesn’t travel alone. It moves through titles, microphones, donor lists, and verified accounts—repeated with discipline, fervor and claims of america firts whether truthful or not.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
9/ That’s the U.S. version too. The leader can say and increasingly do anything and the support system turns it into “just politics.”
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
8/ Gowron’s real power isn’t the title. It’s how many people treat the title like it makes him right, people who know he is full of it but go along.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
7/ This is where #StarTrek story telling comes is: Worf backs The Klingon Leader for “the good of the Empire”… until it’s clear the Empire is serving Gowron and his cronies.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
6/ Don’t clap and you’re “unpatriotic,” “the problem,” “against us.” It’s a loyalty test with a flag sticker on it.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
5/ Something dangerous has been normalized: something happens → we all watch it → then we’re told it didn’t happen like we saw → and half the country is expected to clap anyway.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
4/ The political weather: constant spin, constant outrage, and a loyalty culture where admitting basic facts is treated like betrayal.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
3/ Not just the person at the top. Not just the loudest mic. The helpers. The repeaters. The “I’m just asking questions” crowd who already knows the answer.
100
Shaft @theshaft.co · 10/01/2026
2/ We all see the lies, dishonor and gaslighting today. But it’s not just one person spewing invective, there are people who share in the lies and the dishonor.
