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.

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.

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

@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.

A 20-year Army veteran on the part of Memorial Day most people skip past: not just who we lost, but what their sacrifice asks of us now.
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
The SAVE Act would be the most restrictive federal voting bill to ever be passed by Congress. Lawmakers should be protecting the freedom to vote — not restricting it. Watch: bit.ly/4dfPQrx

With political violence, social division, & despair on the rise, the US has clearly lost its way. I talked with Krista Tippett & @chrismurphyct.bsky.social about why the country is facing a spiritual, not just political, crisis and how to find our way back. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.
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.🤦🏿♂️

Good vibe to this show, feels more like the start of year 3 than the Ota show. Apparently some old coot fucked up a twitter post for this event and wrote Ika (squid) instead of Iwatani and everybody thinks it's the funniest shit ever. Mayu was introduced as Ika and can barely contain herself
It's so strange to see China boast about their supposed lead in AI robotics when it's really just remote controlled puppeting.
