This morning, Trump posted AI fan fiction of Chicago as a "war zone," adopting the chilling language of authoritarianism. He openly admits sending the National Guard is for ICE deportations, not to combat crime, effectively declaring war on an American city. This is not normal.

But seriously, how many more government statisticians is Trump going to have to fire before the economy improves?

Trump is leading the most anti-Veteran administration IN HISTORY. From gutting the VA to abandoning those who served, actions speak louder than any flag hug. Veterans are done being used and discarded. #DefendVeteransBenefits

Slavery wasn't just bad, it was EVIL, and a horrific violation of human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Union Troops died defeating traitors who defended slavery and turned against their country. Trump wants us to forget those Union Troops and what they fought for. To him we say: GO TO HELL

Get outta here! Sparrow confrontation… #EastCoastKin #bird #sparrow #photograph #nature #drama

Being against mail-in ballots is being against our Troops’ right to vote. For generations, we have cast ballots by mail, dating back to the Civil War. Denying that right is a betrayal of service, and yet another way Trump disrespects those who serve. GET STICKER: shop.votevets.org/products/vot...
