At its core, this ruling reinforces a basic principle: veterans do not lose their First Amendment rights when they retire from service. The oath to support and defend the Constitution does not end when active duty does.

This morning, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth spoke to 800 high-ranking generals and admirals who had been called away from their stations around the world. At the meeting, Trump said he’d told Hegseth he should use American cities as “training grounds” for the military. 1/6

This morning’s spectacle at Quantico is a masterclass in narcissism and waste. Hegseth forced hundreds of our nation’s top GOFOs to abandon their commands to sit through his juvenile pep talk and an incoherent rant. All while the governement barrels toward a shutdown. Pathetic.

When the President misuses our servicemembers, he weakens both the rule of law and the public’s trust in those who wear the uniform.

The National Guard and our armed forces exist to protect the nation from external threats and to assist communities in times of true emergency- not to carry out law enforcement or serve political agendas.

“I don’t want to speculate what’s in his brain, but just taking the evidence as it is — what he said during the Black Lives Matter protests; the fact that he’s taking this maximalist approach to deploying troops—he is eager to create escalatory situations.” www.salon.com/2025/08/20/v...

Service members are not political pawns. They are trained to defend the nation, not to be marched into partisan PR stunts to flatter the President's ego. Using them this way corrodes trust, weakens the force, & turns our military into a political prop. It's deeply un-American.

We are told that resources are scarce. Republicans in Congress passed a bill that will take health care away from millions and close hospitals. We are told there's not enough funding for veterans’ health care. 30,000 VA workers have been fired . But there is funding for this?

Trump already sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles for a situation that even the Chief of the LAPD said didn’t require a military response. It was unnecessary, expensive, and wasted valuable resources.

Military deployments: coming soon to a city near you. This is all part of a disturbing pattern. Trump is remaking the military as a personal tool of control, overriding the core principles of civilian oversight. And he won't stop with DC. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Janessa Goldbeck @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

To be clear, the bill technically mandates the sale of up to 3 million acres - still a staggering amount. But once over 250 million acres are listed as eligible for sale, it's not hard to imagine more being sold in the future. It sets a very dangerous precedent.

Janessa Goldbeck @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

This is the exact kind of scam we’ve seen before: short-term profits for powerful interests, long-term loss for the public. It sets a precedent to liquidate public lands anytime a politician needs to fund a pet project.
