Bill that passed the House yesterday is criminally negligent regarding the wellbeing of humanity. It throws one progressive bone: 12 weeks of paid family leave for all civilian federal workers, but it does other things that are horrifying.

1) If it passes the Senate, we will now have a sixth branch of the US Military: The Space Force! You know that bit about lovers looking up at the stars? Watch out kids. You’ll never know again what might be pointed at you while you do. We are MILITARIZING SPACE.

2) It increases Trump’s ability to support Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, continues presidential permission to wage war without Congressional approval (does nothing to reign in his power to invade Iran), and betrays all of us by refusing to clean up the deadly chemical PFAS.

Kudos to Cong. Ro Khanna & Sen. Bernie Sanders for expressing appropriate outrage at yesterday’s bill. If this is the best we can do with a Democratic House, then we are in really big trouble. Our government is a fully owned subsidiary of the military-industrial-complex.
