Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Lullaby of Birdland

Nothing new can be said about grief
Best to converse with the walls
In a low gibberish

Then put Erroll Garner on the stereo
Scratchy old record
Scratchy old soul

Chuck Schumer and the corporate Dems aren’t just not up for this fight, they have no intention whatsoever of doing anything that will actually address the material conditions that gave rise to fascism.

More people are waking up to this and that’s hopeful, but that recognition is everything.

It’s so disheartening to know that the majority of MAGA are comfortable with ICE illegally detaining US citizens for no other reason than the color of their skin.

Remember that famous scene in Godfather II when Pantangelo changes his testimony before Congress? Who "got to" Schumer?
Let’s cut to the chase. This was a fucking awful vote. Can’t wait for one of these fuckers to ask me for a goddamn dime.
“This was a very very bad vote”

If you want to understand why the climate regime has been unsuccessful, this article by @ninalakhani.bsky.social is a great place to start! It's so important to shine a light on the ways that the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated the COPs and shifted the outcomes of the efforts of the regime!

You all better start learning German history because Trump is following Hitler’s playbook or you can keep your heads up your ass and we can see millions of more deaths and the loss of all liberties.

The parallels between the first months of both tyrannical regimes are striking and chilling, with one big exception.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

⚠️ It should make every American sick that the Supreme Court is siding with a man fighting to not feed hungry children.
