During a visit to Seattle, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins revealed that local veterans will participate in the VA's psychedelic trials. The VA trial is using a proprietary, synthetic version of psilocybin from the London-based company Compass Pathways.

For the first time in VA history, staffing fell instead of grew. The result: 1.2 million veterans have lost their VA provider. Trump gutted the VA, then started funneling veterans into private “community care”:

THE VA GOT GUTTED.
HERE'S WHO PAYS.
Trump slashed VA staff to a record low. These states have the most veterans, per person, counting on that care.

The VA was told to restore our union rights. Have they? No. We haven’t gotten offices back. We have been denied official time. We have been kicked out of new employee orientation. We have been denied grievance meetings. Hey Doug- you aren’t above the law!

VA Secretary Doug Collins, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Republican chairs of the Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committees need to be asked about this every day until they get justice for these exploited military families or they resign in disgrace.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

The VA has been revoking previously approved reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities to work from home. This was a blatant attack on disabled workers under the guise of efficiency. Yet, when ICE showed up in Minneapolis, employees at the Whipple were forced to work from home.

Rumors are rumbling that our favorite fascist, #DougCollins is going to ban memorials and vigils for #AlexPretti on #VA property. Apparently his cold, black heart, can’t handle watching pictures of employees grieving the execution of their colleague in his hallways. Fuck you, Doug. Fuck. You.

Every American veteran and every employee of the VA should rest assured that if their government murders them, Doug Collins will only blame them implicitly, not explicitly, because Doug Collins is a coward.
