Sending so much support to those working in these psychologically abusive conditions across the federal government.

While we haven't seen news about it, today, the former Director of the Center for Minority Veterans at Dept. Of VA was among those who testified as part of the Democratic Steering & Policy Committee's hearing on cuts targeting veterans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Qf...

Attention, do we have any veterans in El Paso, Texas? Please show up so our brother-in-arms doesn't go alone. ❤️🇺🇸

Veterans are standing up and the anniversary of D-Day is going to mark the beginning of the end of fascism in America.

Impeach him today. There are literally hundreds of reasons to choose from.

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

Hey Veterans, Loomer just posted the name, photo, and bio of an Air Force Veteran on X who works at the VA calling for her to be fired due to a role she held last year. @democrats-veterans.house.gov if this veteran is fired due to Loomer's call out, we fully expect an investigation at minimum.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

We just want to say—we’re sorry. We know how emotionally exhausting all of this is, and we truly understand. But you’re not alone. We’re in this together.

He doesn’t care about those who’ve served. Never has. Never will.

The Commander in Chief will be fleeing to a golf tournament, costing millions more to taxpayers. Curious if any of these protests might be near any Florida golf courses, perchance?? 👀👀👀 We'd just haaaate to see the People interrupting his game.

We're extremely disappointed in Secretary of VA Doug Collins.

A trans veteran was beaten by other veterans who mentioned Trump’s rollback of protections during the attack. Words matter. This is why the hateful rhetoric and policies being pushed CANNOT STAND.

"I'm frankly horrified that we are here having a discussion about important clinical decisions without any clinicians, and no offense to my colleagues, but not a single one of us should be engaged in this." - @repdexteror.bsky.social

Look. I know SecDef doesn't seem to care about OPSEC, but do we have to put everything out on the internet?

Turkey is showing the U.S. what to do. They had a democracy. They elected a authoritarian (Erdogan) and now they are getting rid of him.

I’m a suicide attempt survivor. I’ve spent the last 15 years fighting to protect veterans. Trump and Musk are pushing policies that will kill veterans—by design. This is personal. And it's a warning. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/onoffens... #Veterans #SuicidePrevention #OnOffense #Resist

Can we just take care of the veterans we have first? Just give our veterans the care they need? Can we do that?

We want to see @democrats-veterans.house.gov and Senate acting IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT let them get away with what any other administration's SECDEF would be buried for.

Our hearts go out to all in public health who lost their jobs and/or funding this week. Public health professionals work tirelessly to keep our country safe and healthy. Their loss isn’t just personal—it’s a loss for everyone. FEDS, please see links below for RESOURCES for terminated employees.

News — A veteran died by suicide yesterday outside Seattle Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a rep from VA Puget Sound Health Care System confirmed to me. Employees received an email alerting them earlier today. The veteran was not being treated at the facility. Police are investigating.

BREAKING: Judge Benjamin Settle enjoins the ban on transgender servicemembers and Hegseth Policy that was due to go into effect tomorrow nationwide. No ban!

🚨CALLING ALL D.C. AREA VETERANS!!🚨 We can't be there for obvious reasons, but found this and wanted to share—we'll be there in spirit. If you're not in D.C. and want to take a stand, use the hashtag #visibleveterans and post on socials.

It is exceptionally disgraceful for any veterans in that chat to display such a lack of integrity and accountability.

They're just the fucking worst.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

This is the wildest shit we've ever seen. Anyone with integrity would resign after a fuckup this huge, but good ole Pour Me Another Pete is blaming the journalist like the lazy, incompetent bully he is.

"Some in Congress..." wonder who they could possibly mean? 🧐🤔

They're terrorizing our federal employees in real ways and the impact is devastating for all of us. I spoke to a VA employee and FBI Agent about what they're experiencing and it will shock you. This is the most important thing I've written. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

According to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Global Protest Tracker over 800 significant anti-government protests have erupted worldwide. More than 150 countries have experienced significant protest. 18% lasted for more than 3 months. (2017-5 March 2025)

Gender-affirming care for transgender veterans has ended. Gender-affirming for cisgender veterans continues. This is not equal care.

The gall of DOJ to complain that it's short-staffed

It's been a while since I boosted this post, so I'm doing it again. Click through for suicide prevention resources. Only the first page is the 988 network, & there are 3 more pages of specific resources for LGBTQ+, vets/SMs, etc. Share to save a life! You matter, the 🌎 is better with you in it.

The unremarkable white men who say they only care about merit erase all that doesn't align with their version of supremacy or reminds them of their own weakness. And they don't care what gets erased in the collateral damage. What mighty, great men they must be.

HUGE WIN FOR TRANS SERVICEMEMBERS!!

Rep. Seth Moulton: “Musk is killing Veterans.” Trump and Musk are firing Veterans, gutting VA care, and ripping away the benefits they earned. This isn’t belt-tightening—it’s a death sentence. And they know it. MORE: www.masslive.com/politics/202...

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Fortunately, it looks like the 442nd website has been put back up following public outcry: www.khon2.com/local-news/a... If we bring their actions into the light, they're forced to walk them back. Keep it up! Here's the article for those interested: www.army.mil/article/2837...

👇 This is essential 👇

First, let us say that Doug Collins is a dick. The framing of this is that because the VA is cutting gender-affirming care for trans veterans, they'll be able to better fund care for paralyzed and amputee veterans. Let's break this down.

They are forcing clinicians to return to work in non-dedicated spaces to conduct veteran mental health appointments via telehealth in open workspaces. Clinicians asked about HIPAA. VA leadership solution? Noise-canceling headsets. They are dismantling VA.

To comply with the administration's "Defending Women" EO, VA is being forced to rescind VHA Directive 1341, which allowed trans, gender diverse, and intersex veterans to use facilities aligned with gender identity. #breakingnews

VA laptops are getting EnCase Enterprise Agent installed, and a pattern has begun to emerge—team members who have been vocal about issues, SecVA, treatment of employees, etc. have been the first to have this remote data collection software installed.

Y'all we're tired. They are just doing whatever the hell they want.

The House passed the CR to avoid a govt shutdown on Friday, now it goes to the Senate. Democrat Jared Golden of Maine was the only Dem to vote with the Republicans. @golden.house.gov the CR you voted on ends funding for PACT Act veterans in Sept, your vote helped betray your fellow vets.

Between these cuts and the appointment of Dr. Mariela Roca, who might as well be MAGA, as the Director for the Center for Minority Veterans, veterans and their families are going to continue to suffer under this administration, especially women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC veterans.
