Trump Brings Usual Lies And Political Attacks To Arlington National Cemetery Veterans Day becomes another day that ends in “y.”

If you support this administration, keep your ‘Thanks for your service’ to yourself, because you do NOT support AD or vets or families. If you DID, you would NOT support Trump or his evil minions. Makes me wish there was an actual Hell.

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

FACT SHEET: Trump's Deportation Machine Is Betraying Veterans and Tearing Their Families Apart. - America's Voice On Veterans Day, America honors the courage and sacrifice of all who wore our nation’s uniform – including the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have defended our freedom. Yet even as the milita...

While trump gets up there and acts like he cares about veterans, I think it’s important we acknowledge the pain he and ICE are causing some of them and their family members. Immigrants serve in the military too.

America’s veterans bravely answered the call to serve our country and sacrificed to defend our freedom.

On Veterans Day, we honor their service and remember our duty to ensure veterans in Colorado and across the country have the healthcare, housing, and support they’ve earned and deserve.

Not positively.

Today is Veteran’s Day. We honor those that have served our country. 🇺🇸

Did you know: Veteran’s Day is on November 11th because it marks the armistice signed between the Allies of WW1 & Germany, which took effect at 11:00 am: the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918

Remember back in 2018 when Trump was in France to honor the American soldiers who died in World War I and called those very soldiers suckers and losers because I do

Screenshot of The Guardian. Netherlands ‘We can never forget’: the fight for answers as displays of black US soldiers removed from Dutch cemetery Relatives fear removal is part of ‘same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge Photo of two display panels about African American soldiers

‼️ “The displayed panels represented a history that we can never forget & from which we can learn, especially now that differences in the world are ever more magnified. They fought for a freedom that they did not have themselves”

‼️ Urgent appeal to be made to ABMC & US ambassador for their return.

“Only the best for our Vets” my shiny heiny.

SEEK TRUTH AND REPORT IT Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information. Journalists should: u Take responsibility for the accuracy of their work. Verify information before releasing it. Use original sources whenever possible. u Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy. u Provide context. Take special care not to misrepresent or oversimplify in promoting, previewing or summarizing a story. u Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story. u Be cautious when making promises, but keep the promises they make. u Identify sources clearly. The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources. u Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted. u Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing. u Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information unless traditional, open methods will not yield information vital to the public. u Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Give voice to the voiceless. u Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant. u Recognize a special obligation to serve as watchdogs over public affairs and government. Seek to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open, and that public records are open to all. u Provide access to source material when it is relevant and appropriate. u Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience.

What Veterans Can Do for Their Country I served 20 years in the Army and today is the first Veterans Day since joining the War on the Rocks team last year. We publish articles and podcasts on

In a divided moment, veterans can steady the conversation by living the values they once swore to defend.

Florida is home to nearly 1.5 million veterans, and cuts to VA programs mean they lose critical care. Trump and Republicans are turning their backs on our veterans who fulfilled their promise to our nation with strength and courage.

Our heroes deserve better.

I’m wondering what @bsky.app is using to target people for banning. Someone suggested Sarah may have gotten banned for saying Republican policies will ‘kill’ us—and that there are democrats willing to let those policies happen and so ‘let [us] die’. If so, are the words the trigger? Or the phrasing?

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

@pfrazee.com come on—Sarah Kendzior?

I made you SOUP!

The Muppets cover of Jungle Boogie is one of the greatest musical pieces of the 20th Century. Change my mind …

Saw dozens last time we were there (about a year ago October). Thought they might be stingey.

The answer is ‘Yes’ to both questions …

i like this article just for the image asset

As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.

Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president
