Just saw the video of the ICE shooting in Minnesota.

That’s murder, full stop.

You don’t shoot someone in the head for trying to flee the scene.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

This is reprehensible.

FOTUS has demonstrated over and over again that he does not respect or care about our Vets. Call your representative and demand that the VA continue to support VASP and keep veterans housed.

The Trump admin may not be familiar with "facts," but here are a few:

- The suicide rate for veterans is ~1.5x higher than it is for nonveterans
- Since 988 launched 2.5 years ago, the Veterans Crisis Line has had a 22.7% increase in calls
- Since last summer, the VCL received > 1.6 million calls

The war on minorities from Trump is beginning with the effort to erase transgender people. This death is on Trump and his awful minions.

4 panel cartoon - character in red maga hat says "We love the veterans" - in panel 2 a different character says "what about their healthcare?" 

In panel 3 the MAGA character is silent. In panel 4 they furrow their beow angrily

Veterans EARNED their healthcare. Republicans are ripping it away—slashing funding, blocking benefits, and forcing Veterans into a system that will fail them. We won’t stand by while they spit on those who served.

Save veterans' healthcare! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

A push to cut veterans disability benefits is gaining traction, experts warn Many Americans don’t understand how difficult it is for veterans to prove that their health conditions stem from their military service.

As a veteran, I can tell you this: They have no f*cking idea of the backlash this would create. If they start taking away the promised benefits of people who are already depressed and pissed off 3/4 of the time...

Opinion | There are many reasons to disqualify Pete Hegseth. His opinions on women are enough. Trump's pick for defense secretary told America exactly who he was weeks before his scandals broke.

"Women in uniform don’t want special treatment; they want an equal opportunity to meet the same standard of excellence."

Military disability payments are well deserved. There is a massive glut at the moment because Burn Pit veterans are retiring, and the burn pits caused all kinds of issues, for me as well. And we have no idea what it WILL do to us when we are older. Cont…
