@commondefense

This is a clarion call. To the ones waiting for a sign, waiting for permission, waiting for someone else to go first: the moment is here. The someone is you. Veterans are in the streets. Veterans are in handcuffs. Rise with us. No war with Iran. Not again.

Trump is pouring gasoline on a fire that our communities are fighting to put out. Our service was about protection, not occupation. We didn't sign up for a political crackdown on our neighbors. The mission: → End the occupation → Protect our neighbors → Demand accountability

They talk about war in press conferences. We pay for it at the gas station, the grocery store, and around the kitchen table. A veteran who deployed to Iraq breaks down what another forever war actually costs the people footing the bill. #EndForeverWar #NoWarOnOurStreets

@repmcgovern.bsky.social asked Rep. Mike Bost twice if he would allow a vote on an amendment to remove new fee increases (The Mike Bost Home Tax) on VA home loans. Bost: "I would not." He called protecting veterans from a fee hike a "poison pill." Tell Congress to VOTE NO - https://bit.ly/4f0Bn3u

Air Force SSgt Ed Anderson vs Ret. Maj. Gen. John F. King on Iran: "We are all familiar with the term mission creep. Just like Iraq and Afghanistan." Trump calls it an excursion. Veterans who've seen this before call it something else.

Bost found a billion dollars for Trump's White House ballroom with no offset, no problem. Veterans asked for a billion in disability benefits, and he's making other veterans pay THOUSANDS each in new home loan fees to cover it. A ballroom. Sign the letter, take a stand - https://bit.ly/4f0Bn3u

Fear is the whole strategy. Make people feel alone, make them feel small, make them stay home. It does not work when we show up anyway. Every single time. This country belongs to you. Who else is showing up? #NoWarOnOurStreets #VeteranAdvocacy"

One day it's regime change. The next it's a nuclear facility that was supposedly already destroyed. Iraq veteran and Common Defense political director just asked what this war is actually for. #IranWar #VeteranVoices

In March, Rep. Mike Bost promised to have Veterans' backs "all the time" as a fellow Marine. Now that the VA plans to eliminate 35,000 healthcare jobs, Chairman Bost says, "change can be a good thing," while veterans are already waiting 60 to 90 days for services in some regions.

They say they're pro-veteran. Then they cut VA healthcare, gut food assistance, and ask for $200 billion more for war. We are not letting that slide.

Happiness isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the deep breath, the quiet moment, the small win you almost miss. You don’t need a perfect life, just the awareness to notice what already brings you peace. That’s where healing begins 💙✨ #mattsfoundation #mentalhealth #healing

This is the kind of reception AIPAC-backed, Schumer-endorsed candidate @rephaleystevens.bsky.social got from Democratic primary voters in Michigan. It should be the standard for any Dem out of step with the base. Rejecting blind support for Israel isn’t antisemitic—it’s a foreign policy position.🤦🏿‍♂️
