Never in American history has a government website blamed citizens or a political party for a shutdown especially a USDA site meant to serve our farmers. This is unprecedented and unprofessional.

A president should solve problems, not cause them. Trump’s negotiating is just strong-arming, breaking the Constitution, and draining Americans’ wallets.

Tariffs alone won’t make North Carolina great. We need to invest in our people create real jobs and support skilled workers. Decades of outsourcing can’t be undone.

Trump’s administration is slashing the VA. 30,000 jobs lost, care disrupted, programs dismantled. This isn’t America first. Veterans deserve better. Restore VA funding now.

Colonizers never owned this land. True savagery is colonization. The Earth 🌎 belongs to all humanity. It is time to grow wiser.

To those serving, remember this. Your oath is to the Constitution, not to any man. That oath binds you to protect the American people, even when leaders forget their duty.

The strength of the U.S. military has never come from following ego. It comes from following the Constitution, the rule of law, and the sacred pact between soldier and citizen.

Twenty billion for Argentina while our veterans sleep on the streets?! That’s NOT America first, that’s America betrayed!

Pulling nearly every general to Quantico is reckless dereliction that endangers our nation.

Week after week I stand for Gaza, for my community, and for humanity. True patriotism is striving for a more compassionate world. I walk this path of peace to protect children and Mother Earth. This is why I keep showing up. #FreePalestine #VeteransForPeace @vfpc61.bsky.social

Blue sky above, air around me, and Tai Chi flowing through my body. Returning to this practice helps me control my breath, find balance, and restore energy. Veterans can access these healing benefits through the VA 😍 Breathe, move, and reconnect with yourself.

As more than 50 boats from 44 countries sail toward Gaza the world is reminded that the blockade is illegal and unjust. From the seas to the streets we stand together for freedom and dignity. #WavesOfSolidarity #BreakTheSiege #FreeGaza #EndTheBlockade #FreedomFlotilla #CeasefireNow

Today we stood together in St. Peters, Missouri, as over 50 ships from 44 countries sail for Gaza. Our voices joined the global current calling for justice, freedom, and an end to the blockade. The waves are rising. ✊🇵🇸 #WavesOfSolidarity #EndTheBlockade #SolidarityWithFlotilla #CeasefireNow
