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.

They told us 18 troops were hurt in Iran. The real number is 140. An Iraq veteran and Common Defense political director just said what that means. #IranWar #VeteranVoices
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.
History is repeating itself, and the cost is measured in American lives. From inadequate gear to unfortified bases, we are seeing the same systemic failures that defined the start of the Iraq War. Our troops deserve leaders who learn from the past, not ones who repeat it.
@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
A vet just used Harry Truman and the atomic bomb to respond to Trump's "feel it in my bones" war strategy. It did not go the way Trump's supporters would hope. #IranWar #VeteranVoices
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
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
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
When politicians beat the drums of war, they rarely consider the human cost. Naveed (Army, Iraq) reminds us that veterans are the true experts on the reality of conflict. The evidence doesn't add up. It’s time to stop the escalation before more lives are caught in the crossfire.
Before Drake put “Toronto on the map,” 📍 he was an ordinary Toronto-born child visiting his local ice cream shop, 🍦 and the recent Iceman 🧊 mania is sending fans back to the shop behind where the owners reminisced about serving him in his younger years. #Drake nowtoronto.com/culture/drak...

we see alot about shopping small during the holiday season, and it is often framed as simply helping out the little guy... but i think its also important to frame it in the context of witholding our resources from the billionaire class. #smallbusiness #handmade #betterfuture #solidarity #boycott
Congressional candidate John Whetstone supports #MedicareForAll. But what happens to the employees if private health insurance goes away? Most could become government employees. They'd probably be treated better and we'd ALL receive better care. #IndianaPolitics #Election2026

"Trump is really good about asserting his own reality ... but Americans aren't going to buy it if things don't change and change soon. And even if they do improve, the higher prices are going to remain for a while," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.

As Jewish American Heritage Month comes to a close, I’m proud to celebrate the countless contributions Jewish Americans have made to our country and our world. At a time of rising antisemitism, we must continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against hate.

Sec. of “War” Hegseth told our top generals that the military is unfit. He laid out an anti-woke vision to weed out “dudes in dresses” and men with beards [blacks]. Trump upped the ante with claims of an “invasion from within.” The message from both to Americans: “FAFO.”
