My dad risked his life fighting fascism in the Pacific during WWII so I could have a better life.
I proudly served the country I love.

Now, I worry for my children and grandchildren because the country I have known is being destroyed from within.

It's all chest-thumping and zero answers.

If Trump believes these strikes are somehow justifiable, he needs to make his case to Congress and ask for authorization. That's not what's happening.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.

They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.

I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

“We are all doing the work of others to compensate,” one VA employee told the Post. “The idea that relief isn’t coming is really, really disappointing.”

The advocacy organization VoteVets cast the job cuts as another step toward the longstanding GOP goal of privatizing the VA.

VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

The average person lived to be about 50-60 hundreds of years ago. The reason everyone fixates on the average human lifespan being 30 or 40 is because of the infant mortality rate. Half the kids didn't make it past 5; it dragged the lifespan average THAT far down.

Vaccinate your kids.

This is utterly despicable. For the current admin to laud and mourn a RWNJ podcaster and ignore a Soldier who died because of their malicious agenda is evil. And I do not use that term lightly.
Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

An incident as related by a student:

I called Waymo support because the car was on the Muni tracks after getting clipped after trying to outrun a train and wouldn't move. I asked if there was anything I could do to move the car. They said no but would "push some code real quick".
