A FUTURE ASKEW is a collection of short fiction and essays on the urgent issues facing our global society. Written by my friend, Jeffrey Morris, the forthcoming book is essential reading for anyone inspired by Gene Roddenberry's vision of a better tomorrow. >>

WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
The world still weeps...now due to the resurgence of fascism in our nation... On this day in 1944 Anne Frank was arrested in Amsterdam by German Security Police following a tip-off from an informer who was never identified... Her entire family except her father would be dead in less than a year...
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

It was during the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise. I was taking William Foster on an illicit tour of our sets. (Studio policy forbade visitors, but we could sometimes sneak a guest onto some of the sets if we were quiet about it.) >>
Look at the cool detail on this closeup of the Klingon bird-of-prey wing, made by ILM for Star Trek III. Love the gas tank "greeblie" details! No wonder TNG/DS9 used this model so often. I shot this photo when the model was on display a Christies in 2006.
For the enlightenment of the 💩🤡s going after Fauci:
Women really just aren’t angry enough. We played by the rules then once we get good at the game, they change the rules & turn all of our previous assets into liabilities. The goal posts are constantly being moved. The game is rigged against us by the bros that be. I’m tired of playing their game.
How have we not started referring to him as Mitch McGONEll? Seems like a missed opportunity.
This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.
