1% of the country owns more wealth than the middle class. Why? Because Washington spent decades fighting for the rich instead of working families, and Trump has taken it to a new level. November is our chance to elect leaders who actually give a shit about working people.
A FUTURE ASKEW by Jeffrey Morris is one of the most important Star Trek-inspired books, ever. Coming soon!

Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:
"This is the story that Y and I used to tell, used to tell in the quiet of the night, in the hours of the quiet of the night, and the moonlight would come, moving forward, moving close; used to whisper to each other in the night..."
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
