I’d like to make it clear for all the people following me what the sheer gravity of the news is. Without this facility we can’t ensure constant communication with spacecraft beyond Earth orbit. If this facility is off-line, the Artemis program cannot send a crew to the Moon.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

In my convo w/ @malcolmnance.bsky.social, he talked about a nonviolent "2nd American Revolution” to, as he put it, “save the values of the 1st American Revolution.” That means going to the streets, demanding redress & forcing the resignation of Trump & Vance. www.americaamerica.news/p/ukraine-ru...

IMO Medicare for all will still require major private health care contracts and corporate third party vendors to process claims. Let’s work to take ALL corporate profit out of healthcare and provide direct government care. That’s probably too progressive, but we do it at the VA every day.
