Please read this thread to see how the news media slandered people like Martin Luther King Jr. for acting, boycotting, organizing, and protesting.

I told my roommate that Artemis II was launching today if she wanted to watch it. And she responded that she hadn’t seen the first season yet.

So I’m gonna guess she doesn’t really follow that sort of thing.
