This is an outrage

Thank you for making the historic connection!

Vietnam Veterans Against the War, VVAW’s, motto was “Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.” This tradition has carried over to cohorts that followed.

This was my tribute to them Veterans Day 2025:

I'm reminded of the Bonus Army incident... America has consistently stood for these principles.

It's time, once again, for every American to stand for these principles. Lip service is for politicians.

It's time for a revolution when We the People have to protect our family in the military from the military itself. Fight for those who fight for us. The country and freedom were losing ain't on the other side of the world. It's right here at home.

Start up the militias. Protect your children & your posterity. Don't wait until you can't afford food, fuel, & bullets.

Revolution is the solution

@MilitaryTimes @WestPoint_USMA @usmarines @USArmy @USNavy @usairforce @ThePentagon

The country, the Constitution, our way of life and the Liberty you swore to uphold ain't in Iran. It's right here at home. The enemy is domestic. To anyone who has the courage and the opportunity, do what you have to do and then blame ME. I ordered it, we’ll go to trial together.

Is there not a patriot, a Minuteman, freedom fighter, a brave, or a man amongst you?

These protesting veterans are patriots and should never have been arrested. Those overseas fighting illegal wars and murdering innocent civilians should be the ones in handcuffs. Those police officers who arrested the protesters should have resigned before obeying their orders. They are cowards and do not deserve to wear a badge.

This administration doesn’t great job of pretending the people support this war! Most do not!

They will do anything to suppress anyone who brings attention to that fact, including arresting veterans!

Shameful! No way to treat people who literally bled to preserve freedom.

This is horrible

This is what real courage, conviction and patriotism looks like. Thank you!

I agree with you. Sometimes I do not recognize the America I am living in now. I still cannot understand why Republican lawmakers cannot honor their oath to The Constitution instead of loyalty to one man who probably has not even read it, let alone put his hand on the Bible when he took the oath in 2025.

Phone banked for VA, mainly alongside boomers - and most were female boomers to be precise. Multiple people on our Democrat-only roster had received calls from several agencies… and the proposal passed narrowly.

My takeaway: Blue to blue organization is strong and still boomer-led, but it’s not enough. Could you share the inventive ways we might register first time young voters and bring purple into blue? Or, where purple registrations are not able to help given local laws (if that’s a thing)? That feels like sowing the seeds for a longer term generation, fighting for democracy

Trump won’t pardon true patriots
