I just heard MSNOW refer to the troops on standby to be deployed to Minnesota as "specialized cold weather soldiers, and a unit that was deployed in the Pacific during World War 2"...If accurate, this is almost certainly the 10th Mountain Division. This unit is who you would deploy to Greenland. Hmm

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.
Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.
Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.
Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
