Under Secretary Collins, VA's worker purge continues: VA lost a net 1,000 mission-critical employees in ONE MONTH. These losses will undoubtedly result in delayed care and benefits for veterans.

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left. We do. The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year. After years of growth, the number of docs has declined each month since Trump took office. www.propublica.org/article/vete...

🚨 “The targeting of transgender people didn’t stop at rhetoric. Concrete policy followed almost immediately.” 🚨

If Amelia Earhart were here, she would say “release the Epstein files and lock them all up.”

No, Doug, it’s not @propublica.org that is stalking and scaring employees. It’s YOU, #DougCollins, and the fascist cult regime you are a part of.

If you’re wondering why it even matters that ICE is using #VA parking lots as staging areas…let me remind you that #Vets and their families are being deported, detained and harassed by #ICE ,too. This is how fascists treat Vets. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thank you @duckworth.senate.gov for standing up. #ICE should go where they are welcome and it’s not a #VA parking lot. #Veterans #Veteranshealthcare #DougCollins www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

This. Isn’t. Normal. Freedom of speech should be protected for all. How weird they want to avenge this man’s death by stripping others of their first amendment rights. Shameful.

Firing people over what they said about Kirk is more than censorship — it’s conditioning. Neighbors turning on neighbors, employers punishing dissent. This is how you build a modern secret police.

No one should fear “secret police” in California. Or literally ANYWHERE ELSE. #SB627 (@scottwiener.bsky.social) says – officers must be visible & identifiable when interacting with the public. Transparency = trust.

What’s that you say? Denying Vet disability claims based on income is your grand plan? 👀 #KarenBazell #DougCollins #FuckTheseFascists www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/pentago...

A really good read.

🚨 Ann Arbor folks! Stand with VA workers Sept 17! 🚨

Fuck #DougCollins #Vets deserve better than this. Employees deserve better than this.

I’m seeing far too many comments that give me “good people on both sides” vibes. 🤮 Have empathy for people like trans folks who are having their right to exist stripped away by people who spew hate. Quit giving white supremacist, bigoted phobes larger platforms. Release the Epstein files.

So it was never about freedom of speech huh? Shocker.

‘merilkkka baby! Makin the VA great with tips of the month while patients in crisis just wait a bit longer. 🙄🙄🙄

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.

💪💪💪

ICE agents shouldn’t be anywhere near VA property. We are here to care for Vets, not terrorize them.

🔥

Now get them fully staffed.

There has been a lot of hype about this change being a danger to patients. That is untrue. Other government agencies operate this way. Also, most rural healthcare operates this way. Most surgery cases never had an anesthesiologist in the room the whole time. The CRNA was.

"President Trump’s decision to issue a Labor Day proclamation shortly after stripping union rights from thousands of civil servants, a third of whom are veterans, should show American workers what he really thinks about them." What AFGE President Everett Kelley said.

The backlogs are insane, the VA lost a ton of skilled people, and Dougy is lying to congress about the VA being "more effecient". The VA employs a lot of Veterans and opens pathways for those transitioning out. We need Doug Collins fired. Now.

Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.

Had to repost. It’s wild they think anyone would keep this confidential. 😂😂😂😂

These brave Americans deserve so much better than this.

Another day in fucking hell. Vets will die and their blood will be on the hands of fascists who couldn’t care less. Cool, cool.

And something to pass on to your networks so we can make ripples wherever safe to do so. Blank space on the left so people can fill-in their own local protest info. Every action counts.

Under Trump and Doug Collins: VA randomly fired thousands of employees they had to scramble to rehire. VA contracts have been cancelled with seemingly no one checking what they’re for first—including a cancer registry in WA state! It's chaos and our veterans deserve better.

For anyone in Cincinnati #epa #cincinnati

youtube.com/shorts/EwBf_... ah yes. Doug Collins is in the employ of United Healthcare

I’ve heard reports that VA employees are being fired or disciplined for talking about the union at work. Anyone experiencing this? My guess is this will become an issue depending on the facility. If my coworkers are allowed to talk about Jesus to me at lunch, certainly I can discuss unionizing.

We are in hell. The VA is cancelling parental leave that has already been approved, some parents already on leave. #DougCollins is evil. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/v...

Three hospitals in Chicago received 5 star ratings from CMS. Two private hospitals and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. 5 stars for outstanding care. Imagine what Jesse Brown could accomplish with real investment from a supportive federal government.

What…new clinics opened aren’t properly staffed?! Shocked….

Have you experienced setbacks in your care or benefits amid the changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs? We want to hear from you. Here's how to reach out.

Veterans have done their part to protect our country. Now VA Secretary Doug Collins needs to do his part by honoring the union contracts of workers who make Veterans Affairs run. Show solidarity with federal workers fighting for their union rights:

#AltCitizen #DC

The regime keeps fucking over Veterans, especially trans Vets and it’s unforgivable.

And it will continue to get worse

#ResilianceTips #ResistTips We continue our series on tips to #Resist This hits home. They can try to strip away our union rights, but that will not stop us from organizing. We WILL keep organizing and holding the line. We will keep advocating in our workplace. You. Can’t. Stop. Us. #AltGov #unions
