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 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
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.
Trump's PAC is fundraising using a photo of a flag-draped casket from last week's dignified transfer of fallen soldiers. Our Georgia organizer, an Air Force veteran, heard about it and didn't hold back. "Just so he can sell a damn hat." #HonorTheFallen #VeteranVoices
@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
Iraq veteran and Common Defense Political Director Naveed: "The lies behind this illegal war with Iran are the same lies that took us into Iraq. I will not stay silent." We are in the streets today. #NoKings #CommonDefense

Kelly Riggle, a crew member, from the US delegation of the global sumud has been kidnapped from her boat the Marilyn and illegally taken by the IOF. Rise up and demand their release. Kelly will also be conducting a hunger strike.
After two of their employees lost their home to the wildfires, the Rustic Inn Cafe in Two Harbors stepped up to collect donations and serve free meals to first responders and those impacted by the fires. One of the many examples of Minnesotans showing up for one another in a time of need.
Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation. Our democracy can only function when we resolve our differences peacefully. I am grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and that no one was seriously injured last night.

I don't care what you think about BE or Hasan, so don't bother telling me. The larger point BE is making here is the problem with liberal Zionism, however: it can condemn Netanyahu, say the right things about Gaza, and still fail to treat the Israeli war industry as fundamentally disqualifying.
