The House has passed a bill establishing 6th branch of the US military: a Space Force. We are militarizing space! Yet nobody seems to be registering it much. No buzz. No real conversation. No real corporate media coverage. Our acquiescence is stunning. We’re. Militarizing. Space.

Horrifying. Every day has been a nightmare since that man stepped in. Hoping we can wake up soon.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That's because it was already happening. Does it really take an obvious name for you to realize that?

People should also be talking about this, but the news would rather go on about impeachment. washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

Sorry, but "impeachment" for briefly freezing weapons aid to a backwater neo-NAZI regime ("treason") has now removed all real issues (climate, militarization of space, wealth inequality, etc.) from the news cycle. Blame the people running the Democratic Party.

Sorry, had I known I would have taken you along. (It was kinda a state secret then)

Some conservatives fantasize that this will position us against a space war with China. Some liberals fantasize this as a step towards a Star Trek federation utopia. As for me, I just want us to take care of pur home planet for our children, both human and other species

Everybody’s busy with the impeachment diversion. “Real News” doesn’t matter.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It’s already militarized, it’s not been disclosed by govt yet.

We're the third nation to do it.
