America 1776: here’s a strongly worded letter about our issues with the King. France 1789: chop off his head. America 2026: grandmas with poster boards on overpasses. France 2026: burn this mother down.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

First things first, this man does not speak for the individual members of the military. He’s a hack. Secondly, he should be the first person Dems impeach once in power. He’s dangerous, stupid, and unhinged.

Hegseth: “Our colleges and universities have become anti-American DEI-worshipping, woke factories…We need students of Western civilization and the pillars of our republic…who understand the faith of Jerusalem, the philosophy of Athens, the power of Rome, and the freedom of Philadelphia circa 1776.”

Trump has repeatedly shown us again and again that he hates those of us that served. First it was McCain, then we were suckers, and now he just erases deaths to hide his pathetic losing war effort.

Supporting our troops means demanding they don’t go to war without Congressional approval. Trump & Hegseth don’t give a crap if servicemen get injured or die in their unjust & unauthorized war.

Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) released Tina Peters, saying she was remorseful despite obvious evidence to the contrary. “I do show remorse,” Peters said today. “The remorse is that people that should be in prison are not. That's my remorse.”

The US starting 11 yesterday had 3 players that weren’t born in the US, 1 that was born in the US from foreign parents, 8 players of color, 2 players that are second generation Americans, a random guy from St Louis, and a military brat at Ramstein AB. If that’s not America, I don’t know what is.

I was raised catholic, even considered becoming a priest, but left the faith years ago. However, seeing this from the church, is what being Catholic should be.

NEW: Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran. “When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer in action. Not in our name. Not with our country.”

I buried one of my best friends in Arlington, and a year later, a man who was like a father to me. Seeing this fat, piece of shit, wearing that fucking hat to an event like this makes me a special kind of angry.

The price of war isn’t paid by elites and their families, but by the working class families across this country. Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies won’t send their own children to fight and die, he’ll send farm kids, inner city kids, and suburban kids.

Fred is a friend, a warrior, and the type of leader that these moments desperately need.

I'm heartbroken by the news of the loss of 3 U.S. service members in the Iran War today. There is nothing more terrifying for our military families than the knock on your door of officers while your loved one is serving. 35 years ago I lost my first men in combat and that weighs on me still today.

As a veteran of Iraq/Afghanistan, I’ve now come to believe that the first thing on a Democratic majority’s list should be impeachment over an illegal war in Iran. My heart aches for those that have lost loved ones in this clearly unjust war.

Donald Trump & Doug Collins are hell bent on making disabled veterans get sicker rather than receive treatment. They are evil men, who don’t care if we get sicker and die.

People like JD Vance & Pam Bondi are proof that Trumpism won’t die when he’s gone. They’ve taken it to new depths & there’s no bottom to how low they’ll go.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

You could fill the Great Lakes with the differences between those of us that wore the uniform of our military, and those cosplay, wannabe, tiny-dicked ICE and BP agents.

Twenty years ago today, I lost one of my best friends. She was the little sister I never had, possessed an unforgettable laugh, and the namesake of my daughter. I miss her everyday but visit her at Arlington often.

Many of these clinics were paid for a started construction under the Biden administration. The Trump VA sends misleading bs like this out regularly.

Anyone who is applauding Trump in these moments should do 1 minute of reading about Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, Panama, and Libya. This will not end well, and history tells us this over and over again.

I fought in an illegal war in Iraq. We were lied to about the reason, but at least there was a reason. This will end very badly in Venezuela, and anyone who goes along with it should be held accountable.

The erosion of veterans healthcare started in January and continues. Donald Trump is the worst president for veterans issues ever.

🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week. This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025. Read/share 👇

In a stunningly anti-veteran move, the Trump admin tried to use the government shutdown as an excuse to halt nearly all court rulings on veterans' disability benefits. A 9-0 court—led by a Trump appointee—rejected their "extreme request," calling it unconscionable.

When I was 17, I took an oath to the constitution that carried me to wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, where I fought to keep America from become a monarchy. Today, I marched for that. NO KINGS!!

If a Democratic admin pepper sprayed a person of faith, the right would be marching on Washington. Those that use their “faith” as a cudgel to hurt those they disagree with will have a lot to answer for some day.

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

Republicans are circulating a draft resolution to get American troops into another 'forever war.' The draft text has been described as a "open-ended blank check" for Trump to send troops anywhere to kill anyone. Did anyone out there vote for another forever war?
