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.

And the Democrats did it. They worked with him on this bill, they allowed it to go through. All while they are claiming he is a criminal. Shameful. Point the finger where it belongs, at @SpeakerPelosi

Yup. The power of celebrity is real. We’ve allowed it to permeate into our politics and now we have a reality tv star as president who created a #SpaceForce. We reap what we sow.

Mostly in the world today we need a U.S. Dept of Peace. #Marianne2020 marianne2020.com/issues/us-d…

We're also authorizing an increase in military spending across the board, and continue to hand it to someone we're supposed to be universally outraged by, and who was just #Impeached. War and Death always seem to have bipartisan support.

Because there is no real news media left, you are just finding out about the militarizing of space. That process began in the late 1950's, and has become intense the last 20 years.

You realize that almost all means of communication go through satellites, right? It's EXTREMELY important.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It’s actually kinda cool.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Oh and there's also funding for low yield more usable nukes. This bill was termed "progressive" by chairman Smith.

Hear me out: what if the space force was made of muppets?
