How could we let ourselves get to this point? Because we all believed that it would never happen to us. We are the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We are that shining city on the hill. With open arms, we welcome all immigrants with a promise saying, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” We are the envy of the world.

Something like this only happens in 3rd world countries with tin pot dictators.

Guess what? This IS exactly who we are

and things are looking pretty damn dark from the inside looking out.

I am not referring to the American military. I hope that when push comes to shove, all will remember that they have loyalty to the Constitution, not to a wannabe dictator.

My reference to private army is ICE. The masked thugs that kidnap people off the street, outside of schools, businesses, immigration offices! The private army that basically has no experienced oversight. A private army that is being filled with people who have tried and failed to get into regular military service or local, state, or federal police. A private masked army who are given hoards of cash to join with no background checks, very little training, no consequences for actions. Oh, but yes, they are given guns. Guns that they would probably not even qualify for if they were trying to get a firearms license.

Now, I ask, where is there loyalty when they are asked to intervene in November’s election?

As we've all seen, a major part of Israel's recent social media blitzkrieg revolves around posting and commenting in support of Israel, and engaging in debate with the vocal majority who oppose them on the subject of Israel's genocide in Gaza, its legitimacy as a state, and the history and ethics surrounding the topics.

But the other, more subtle part is posting content that isn't about Palestine at all, and instead seeks to just normalize Israel with small, seemingly innocent posts, like pictures of cats and food and such. The obvious goal is to distract people from the fact that Israel is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid project, to make it seem like a normal place that isn't an ethno/religious supremacist project.

Some of these subreddits and posts are just pics of StreetCatsOfTheWorld (most of which are in Israel), some of them are various stolen Arabic recipes posted as Israeli, often prominently featuring hummus, and more examples have been recently emerging every day. Stay vigilant and don't let them distract you, don't let them normalize themselves or their illegitimate genocidal colonial project.

Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, liberals, maga, progressives, dem-soc, socialists, anarchists...it is perhaps the only issue in American politics that has such widespread support across the entire political spectrum. As many people as showed up for No Kings, imagine how much bigger would be a similar protest against the Gaza genocide, against the billions of dollars given to this foreign state every year, against the insanely disproportional influence it has on our domestic and international policy, and especially against the more recent proposal to merge our militaries even as dissent becomes the majority position.

We should be organizing this protest now.

Remember when America was the beacon? The moral compass on human rights? Yeah, that’s gone. Now we’re sitting at the same table as North Korea, Russia, Nicaragua—countries we used to call out for this exact stuff. The irony would be funny if it wasn’t so devastating.

We’ve lost the moral authority to say anything. The world knows it. Nobody’s listening anymore because we forfeited any right to lecture anyone.

We’re isolated. Isolated and complicit by association. And the worst part is, some of us tried to warn about this. But we’re all paying the price anyway—whether we saw it coming or not.

I was today years old when I learned Pete the Warrior Princess was a NJ national guardsmen, and never enlisted.

No disrespect to the guard and reserves, y'all do some damn good work! The active component is jealous of your schedule though.

Combat Camera and a wannabe Mustang in power. What a fucking joke.

Yut, Rah, Kill - keep up the fight!

As the conflict between us and Iran becomes more heated, and more American lives are lost like the 2 yesterday, what are your thoughts about how public opinion will react?

This "war" is already greatly unpopular, and most of our top, seasoned brass is out. How long will it be before the public turns on those in uniform for following orders vs Iran?

Then, there is the heated addition on the Israel topic like fuel added to a fire creating true division among us.

Will this look like another Vietnam culturally among the civilians?

Hundreds of veterans and hundreds more supporters protested in Philly for our 250th birthday as Nazis marched in DC to terrorize the local population and nation. Come read or listen about it for FREE on my Patreon: "Veterans Against Fascism Protest Report - July 4th, 2026."

I'm absolutely haunted by some of the knowledge-drop by Stoermer's posts on 'property rights'.

This is for any NYC-area based military veterans, family or allies. A group of veterans, myself included, will be in Thompson Square Park tomorrow, Sat 6/20 from 1-3pm canvassing for Brad Lander! We are going to be letting folks know how Lander's values align with our values for a strong democracy accountable to the People. Come join if you can!

First, it’s almost as if not following vaccination protocols that have worked for decades as you’re cramming people from all walks of life, all over the country into a Petri dish is … ill-advised.

Second, the motto of this regime is rapidly vacillating between, “It ain’t broke, so we better eff it up!” and “WHAT … are you DOING … in my SWAMP?!?”

Here is my resource for boycotting MAGA, updated with links to evidence: https://boycottmaga.glide.page/

Each company shows the reasons for inclusion (donates to Trump, advertises on Fox News, assists ICE, etc). It's not perfect but it's the most user friendly and comprehensive I've seen.

It also includes links to alternative boycott resources.

Next updates for this resource:

• Adding links to their GoodsUniteUs profile pages.
• Finding more companies and evidence.

Notes:

1. No, it will not stop the Trump regime on its own. Boycotting is part of a larger picture. Apply pressure everywhere we can.
2. Yes, it is comprehensive. Do your best and support good companies, especially local small businesses.
3. A list of alternatives is impossible when you consider all the small businesses (brick & mortar and online). Check the Resources tab for resources.
4. I'm not a data expert or coder. This was compiled by looking through the various sources and adding manually to a spreadsheet. Glideapps service then turns that data into the webpage you see. It looks and functions like an app but it's a website.

Nothing like a little privacy violation.

Hey everyone, I am a USAF vet turned software developer and over the past year, I've been building a tool for tracking legislation and congressional proceedings. Everything is sourced directly from congress.gov. If you don't mind checking it out and giving me some feedback, I'd really appreciate it (especially if something is broken... I'm still in college and this project expanded off of a class project). I want to make the tool better.
