“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Hard lesson to learn. Blk males and Hispanic males voted fir trump. Many didn't vote because their "machismo " couldn't fathom a WOMAN PRESIDENT. I Think the dems should run Kamala Harris again....and let's see what the crying minorities get next time.

The MAGA base appetite for sights of human misery MUST be tended....or Donald's #Griftapalooza will end abruptly. (He can stay popular enough to do his worst only if he keeps the white-supremacists happy.)

No need to wonder. She was not a violent criminal. She did not have a rap sheet. She was not in a gang. She paid taxes but did not vote. She paid in to social security but won’t get the benefit. She contributed to Medicare and Medicaid but was not eligible. Cruelty is the only reason.

States pass laws that intentionally silence and oppress military members, even as lawmakers pretend to support them. - laws making it impossible for them to vote - laws making it impossible for spouses to stay legal immigrants - laws banning them from getting Real IDs even!!! #disgraceful

Let's see the stats of VIOLENT undocumented ppl deported compared to all those whose only crime was entering illegally. The system is the big problem. Remember before the '24 election there was a bill to address the immigration situation. Trump got it nixed. There are too many haters of diversity.

This is what happens when people "Don't do politics," and choose not to study the candidates and vote. The majority of citizens in America do not vote in elections, because they think The Government that is BY THE PEOPLE will run itself without The People. They put all the stress on everyone else.

People who are SERVING in our military... Their OWN families being stolen from them. We are ruled by self-centered tyrannical jerk wads. They do not deserve to rule anything but a moldy poo pile.

THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM” #RemovetRump WE MUST STOP trump! 86 47 What is your congressman doing? What are you doing? Phone calls@ #5CALLS everyday! Signup & protest @ #mobilize.us #fiftyfifty.one #HandsOff #generalstrikesus.bsky.social #DontDefundPublicSchools

Was she a terrorist? A rapist?A drug dealer? A murderer?A gang member? No, she was an undocumented wife to a US serviceman & a mother to their child. That was her biggest crime. F@CK Trump F@CK ICE F@CK what Trump is making America. It isn't f@cking Great.

TFG is 'allowing' farmworkers and those working at his hotels, to keep working, yet those serving or who have served in our military are deported? or families deported? wtf is that about? Will someone please put an end to him, I mean, this. 🤷‍♀️

Donald Trump pardoned the criminals who attacked the Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Why? He wanted to form an army of criminals willing to commit violence at his bidding even if it required violating the Constitution and laws of the USA. These criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters.

I can't help but wonder who he vote for. Sickening, nonetheless. And it shouldn't matter if you are military more than if you are a roofer or a janitor. If marry a woman from another country she should be able to live here with you forever.

It's one of the few jobs you get benefits, healthcare, pension etc and you can be as dumb as a post. In fact, the dumber the better. Dont complain when it bites you in the ass. This obsession with war and soldiers is sickening.

I'm in support of people who dedicate their lives to military service. It is an incredible sacrifice. Being in the military does not, in and of itself, mean you lack intelligence or support the administration.

Trump and his administration and supporters hate soldiers. The only use they have for US soldiers is as a threat to Americans that if we don't worship Trump hard enough he will send them to crush us. Fuck him and fuck all his followers. Soldiers, you serve America, not Trump, remember that.

For the real MAGA Plan to succeed, they must Dominate or Coerce a significant faction in the Military. Without that support from the Military, Trump and his Handlers are at risk - from the vast majority of a freedom loving Civil Population and a Democracy Led overthrow of his corrupted Government.

Meanwhile over at the #G7 Summit in #Kananaskis, #Alberta, #Canada. All the Leaders are being extremely discreet. But secretly they all know & recognise that the little fat man boy child, that ran back to Washington.... #DonaldTrumpIsVladimirPutinsWhore

Its starting to look like Trump and his Project 2025 administration will be ignoring the reality of 10+ million people marching against their policies. They make jokes They dismiss They turn the narrative around They call the People 'insurrectionists' They learned nothing. They need more.

Makes no sense, sadly seeing the end of america, more sadly fools to give up there rights, for what? To follow a convicted rapist and convicted Felon?look into the administration, how many are rapist, find it acceptable that the dads feel incest, having no respect for daughters and wives is ok?

There's no honor or integrity in our administration. This man served our nation, he went through the legal process to gain citizenship and maintained it. He served his time for a nonviolent drug offense. What else do you want from the man?!

The split was more like 54-46 in the Obama era. It's just that those that vote Republican and now Trumpian are generally louder and more outspoken. Memory fails, but I recall a breakdown from absentee ballots in the Gore-Bush debacle when many were surprised that they didn't run stronger for Bush

If she married a US citizen, she should've had a green card (I hope they weren't dumb & didn't apply for one). Which grants legal permanent residence. The problem with it all is that the word undocumented is being completely broadened to fit their needs. That & our entire process is insanely slow.

I'm tired of the bullshit line used by the right "my family came here the right way" This IS the right way. This is EXACTLY how my family got citizenship. My great-grandfather, an immigrant, fought for America in WWI & for his service my grandpa was brought to America & the family became citizens

The current administration is redefining "the right way" and changing the rules of immigration. And what documents matter changes randomly. At any moment your documents are no longer real documents and now you're illegal.

The treatment of Native Americans was and still is abhorrent, but making it your argument does nothing to either address the treatment of immigrants today, help move public opinion, or in any way get us closer to immigrant rights & pathways to citizenship

another family trying to do everything right to fix her status, how does anyone expect him to want to serve in the military under a commander in chief who is ultimately responsible for deporting his wife?
