Over 180,000 veterans are currently incarcerated in local, state, or federal prison facilities. For comparison, that’s about 40% of the active US Army. #gapol #veterans #veteransday #justicereform #mentalhealth

The State of Veteran Suicide (2025 Update) Introduction For decades, the issue of veteran suicide has hovered just beneath the surface of national discourseβ€”tragic, persistent, and alarmingly consistent. Each year, thousands of former service ...

An issue that is given little notice - veteran suicide is still high and a national emergency. We lose over 17 every single day. #gapol #veteransday #veterans missionrollcall.org/veteran-voic...

We’ve had around nine years of various protests (remember the DC Women’s March in 2017) with little-to-no effect. Marching around on a weekend simply doesn’t achieve much. We need organization and economic pressure to actually affect change. #gapol #gadem #nokings

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

Many were convicted on bogus charges and sent to the first concentration camps, but purposely kept alive until, in 1945, it was clear that the regime was coming to an end.

New York AG Letitia James indicted for alleged fraud following pressure from Trump New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on at least one count of alleged fraud following pressure from President Donald Trump.

And again just read up on Germany in the spring of 1933. Plenty of people in govt and the courts played along. #gapol #trump #doj #LetitiaJames abcnews.go.com/US/trump-app...

Well, Georgia's deep-seated Islamophobia, racism, and sexism will be on full display. The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about. #gapol

One of 14 men who served as President of the Continental Congress before Washington, the first President of the United States.

After the Constitution was signed, it was sent to Congress in New York. Washington wrote a personal letter to the President at the time. An immigrant from Scotland, Arthur St. Clair. The only foreign-born "President" of the United States. #gapol #ConstitutionDay #immigrants

There wasn't an established method to become a US citizen for another 100 years. In many cases, after a couple of years, one would simply declare residency at a local court. Easy peasy, so long as you were a white person.

Seven signers of the Constitution were immigrants - Pierce Butler, Thomas Fitzsimons, James McHenry, and William Paterson were born in Ireland, Robert Morris in England, James Wilson in Scotland, and Alexander Hamilton in the West Indies. #gapol #ConstitutionDay #Immigrants

For those currently on campaign, in govt, courts, etc. It's a good time to implement your security protocols. Given the things being said by many in Maga and conservative media, the threats are likely to increase. #gapol #gagop #gadem #gacourts #gasen #gajudges #charliekirk

It might be worth pointing out that these Korean workers are not trolling the forests around UGA looking to rape and kill students. Competent threat and risk assessment is, you know, a thing. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ #gapol #gagop #hyundai #ice #dhs #visas #gadem www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNr7...

Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower - three of our greatest generals that became Presidents would never use the language we’re seeing from Trump and Hegseth. We have an American military tradition that we should follow.

The new global nuclear superpower, at the time, that won a two-front war used terms like peace and defense. We spoke softly, and it worked.
