Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.
When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

A page with the title "LGB Travelers"
‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.
Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.
The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.
This one at UVA Hospital.

Sometimes protecting my peace means putting an idiot in their place.
29.01.2025 19:21 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.

More #lotr art for my friend’s birthday. Ironically painting evil allowed me to forget the evil and impending doom happening right now for a bit. A win is a win.

Read a great thing today in response to “iTs a ROmaN SaLuTE” and that’s to meet it with a “Roman face massage”.

W.I.P
Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy.
More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.

Loud, angry, and Indigenous: Heavy metal takes on colonialism and climate change
Indigenous bands have always been part of metal, creating a place for musicians and fans to channel anger and find community.

My advice as a Veteran to all…
DO NOT JOIN THE MILITARY FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS! Active military get ready for very unlawful orders.

Who lived in the forest
She whispered to her best forest friends:
“I’ve had a personal experience”
“Wow!” they exclaimed
A man she never met
Miles, miles away
Heard that “wow” and rose to his feet
Climbed hills
Crossed rivers
Fought dragons
Only to tell her:
“No, you didn’t”
It’s exactly like this. 😂😭
