"On Your Own Terms..."
"If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realize that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms." - Jeanette Winterson

The Trump Economy Exposed
Americans have been noticing-- in increasing numbers-- that the Republican tax cuts have done exactly what they were designed to do: make the rich richer. And nothing more. Trump's economic miracle is an economic mirage, with the GOP's chief marketer "pulling numbers out of thin air when it comes to the economy, jobs and the deficit." Last month Jay Willis, writing for *GQ*, warned that the "tax cuts for the rich aren't helping anyone *but* the rich. When the Democrats label the Ryan/Trump tax cuts a "scam," they were exactly right. "The tax reform bill is, as expected, a giant re... more »

Getting word out opposing war in the heavens.....
There is quite a lot of action against Trump's proposed Space Force on social media.
