“In the aftermath of Kirk’s murder, Trump and the Maga establishment have immediately denounced leftist rhetoric and blamed the left for political violence in America – while ignoring entirely the extreme vitriol coming from their own side, including from Kirk himself.“

Trump’s D.C. deployment is not only wasteful, it’s also illegal. It's a stunning misuse of military resources and taxpayer dollars when soldiers are "just gardening" instead of training for real emergencies. Our troops deserve better than to be used as pawns in a political stunt. #NationalGuard

These veterans endured unimaginable horrors, yet their final plea is for peace, not hatred. As their voices fade, we must honor them by choosing empathy over division. Their suffering transcends borders. May we build a future worthy of their sacrifice. #VJDay80 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/w...

Our oath was to the Constitution, not a person. Strangers become allies, holding signs, sharing stories, and standing firm together. Change starts when we choose hope over fear. As Trump throws himself a parade, watch protesters across America say, "No kings" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As veterans, we swore allegiance to the Constitution, not politicized deployments. The withdrawal of 700 Marines from Los Angeles proves that grassroots pressure works. Now let’s unite to block 2,000 Guard troops from ICE detention missions. #GuardiansNotGuards #goodtrouble #ICE

We broke the Luftwaffe over Berlin, but couldn’t eat at a Texas diner in our uniforms. Wrote to Truman: "We fight for democracy abroad. Demand it here." Forcing a President’s hand? That’s #goodTrouble.

The heroes' gift wasn’t a divided nation; it was the opportunity to unite. Their generation showed us how. Let's not forget their most important lesson. #WorldWarII #veterans open.substack.com/pub/50501sol...

In 1945, a 19-year-old father fought fascism for all of our futures. Remembering Ebensee isn’t about the past; it’s a compass for today. Their courage calls us to reject hatred together and uphold human dignity. That’s a legacy worth uniting around. #WWII 50501soldier.substack.com/p/honoring-t...

Grassroots vets from all 50 states rallied for a simple principle: ‘Care earned is care owed.’ With 30% of federal workers being veterans, these cuts hit our community hardest. Let’s channel this energy into solutions: Demand Congress audit VA contract terminations. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

From the 1932 Bonus Army to today, veterans prove: Unity > division. Their June 6 rallies sparked legislation drafts + 2026 veteran candidates. Let’s build momentum: Statehouse vigils every 6th of the month. We keep promises by standing shoulder-to-shoulder. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

250 years of tradition: Troops swear loyalty to the Constitution—not a person. When veterans of all parties rally at #NoKings events, they defend that sacred principle. #OathToConstitution Military vets: We swore an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump  ncnewsline.com/2025/06/18/m...

Conservative or progressive: We all owe a debt to veterans. Their protest wasn’t anti-military; it was pro-accountability. Unite behind them. Audit wasteful spending ($800k LA operations → veteran housing). Protecting benefits from cuts. #VetsAcrossAisles therealnews.com/thes-vets-sw...

Botched "Operation Excalibur" wasted $800k+ on armored vehicles to intimidate a park. Imagine if those resources fortified: Veteran housing (33k homeless vets need roofs) Mental healthcare (22 vets/day die by suicide) #ServeOurVets #GuardTheGuardians www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

🚨 STATEMENT: GOP Screwing Veterans VoteVets responds to Senate Republicans advancing their “Big Beautiful Bill”: “The GOP is getting ready to prove — once again — they have no problem screwing Veterans in order to give tax breaks to their billionaire friends.”

1932: Hoover sent tanks & bayonets against Bonus Army vets begging for war pensions. 2025: Troops face Americans protesting injustice. We know this playbook. Soldiers don’t belong in the streets against citizens. The oath is to the Constitution—not to silence dissent. #VeteransForTheOath #resist

Born on a U.S. base. Raised in America. Still stateless. Still deportable. This isn't politics—it's a betrayal of our veterans. Every child of a service member deserves a home. Let's secure citizenship for all military children. #ServiceSacred #veterans www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2...

That's a profoundly moving moment — 98-year-old #WWII paratrooper Warren Richard (Grand Island, NY) meeting today's 11th Airborne Division soldiers embodies the living bridge between history and heritage. The 11th Airborne ("Angels") fought in the Pacific Theater (1943–1945).

Approximately 60 veterans and military family members were arrested during a protest at the U.S. Capitol. Over 50 of those arrested were confirmed veterans, including elderly participants like 87-year-old John Spitzberg (who used a walker). #militaryoffourstreets #resist #HandsOff #NoKings #protest

John Spitzberg is an 87-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran from Gainesville, Florida. He served during the Cold War, with deployments to Ukraine, Romania, and Vietnam. He later engaged in humanitarian work in conflict zones. #resist #HandsOff #NoKings #protest

Sleeping on concrete. Inadequate food. Zero mission clarity. This is how our troops are treated under political deployments. Deploying them against peaceful communities betrays both their mission and our values. #RespectOurTroop #BringThemHome #HonorAndRemember

When we deploy troops, we promise to support their families. Sgt. Correa’s story isn’t about politics; it's about a broken promise. Stand with military families. Demand fair immigration reviews for those who serve us. #Veterans #ICE #HonorAndRemember #immigration thewarhorse.org/military-fam...

Respect. Parades can honor service, but not when they’re $45 million vanity shows while veterans are homeless. #NoKings proved it. When veterans, civilians, and people of all backgrounds unite across differences, we become unstoppable. #resist #HandsOff #NoKingsDay #protest #June14

The military's deployment during the 1967 Detroit riots and the 1992 L.A. unrest exacerbated trauma and division. Post-9/11 policies further normalized the militarization of police, but deploying active-duty Marines domestically is unprecedented in modern peacetime. #ICEProtests #LosAngelesProtests

The soldiers who stormed Normandy embodied unity against fascism. It demands that we uphold our promises to all who serve, both past and present. #D-DAY #JUNE6 Thousands of veterans rally at National Mall to protest federal layoffs, cuts to services www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

From 1776 until now, the duty of our military has been to the people. Our defiance against authoritarianism honors every veteran who fought fascism abroad. We stand with you in demanding dignity for active-duty service members, accountability from those in power, and justice for immigrants. #ICE

Honoring our veterans and Marines means ensuring they’re not used to undermine constitutional rights. Sending troops to fight civilians dishonors their service. Our service members serve to protect all Americans. This unauthorized deployment threatens our rights and divides us. #LA #ICEProtests

True patriotism means defending the freedoms they swore to protect, not using them to silence Americans. We honor their service by safeguarding our democracy. California is suing Trump and Hegseth in federal court to stop the National Guard deployment in the state. #ICEProtests #LA

In Savannah, we honored the bravery of #D-Day veterans and stood up for their rights. We promised again to defend the Constitution and protect those who served. Thanks to everyone who made this event meaningful. Let's keep standing together. #VeteransRights www.savannahnow.com/picture-gall...

When policies target and stigmatize a group within the military, it sends a message of prejudice. This poisons the very fabric of teamwork and mutual respect that makes our armed forces strong. Our service is valuable, and we deserve respect. #LGBTQ #Veterans thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

There's no need to eliminate Pride Month to honor #veterans or their families. This isn't a competition. LGBTQ+ people have served in the military. LGBTQ+ veterans exist. They are parents. They are Americans. Let's stop making people feel oppositional. #pridemonth

#PrideMonth started with a disrespectful act: a gay #veteran who was murdered was dishonored. That's not a decision about policy; it's a move in the culture war. We won't back down. We honor Harvey Milk. We honor the fight.

Harvey Milk served this country. So did so many LGBTQ+ Americans. Pride Month must honor that service—and Jonathan Joss's life—by standing against fascism, hate, and cowardice. Hearts must change. Or history repeats itself.

We are grateful to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who served and those who remember. This is about honoring our heroes, past and present, with one voice. @americanopposition.org @commondefense.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501veterans.bsky.social @50501soldiers.bsky.social
