“‘Internet’ was made up in 1945. No one outside of the United States War Department had even heard of it until 1996. It is insulting because it de- emphasizes ARPANET. Pretending that language can evolve and change over time.” Listen to how dumb you sound, for real. 🙄

We’ve fought back against Trump’s hatred and vitriol. We will do it again and we will make sure he makes it nowhere near the White House again. #VetsAgainstTrump #TrumpAnnouncement

As veterans, we stood against Trump and his tide of racism, hate, and violence. Now we are ready to do so once more “against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. #VetsAgainstTrump #TrumpAnnouncement

When you organize, you win! With the final of the Big 3 automakers agreeing to new contract terms, one of the largest auto strikes ever is coming to an end. This is a paradigm shift in labor rights. All of these strikes are bigger than their individual contracts. It helps us all!

UAW president Shawn Fain says this is "a turning point in the class war that's been raging in this country for the past 40 years." He labeled the union's tentative deal with Ford "a call to action to workers everywhere to organize and fight for a better life."

These are from early in my service. I served w/ ppl from all over the US. We were united & relied on each other. It's a slap in the face to have a President like Trump who thrives off division and hate. He's got to go. #VetsAgainstTrump #RNC2020

Arizona Veterans like @JSweezyBreezy are speaking out today - the 109th anniversary of AZ becoming a state - to call on @SenatorSinema to support equal rights & representation for D.C. We stand with our fellow Veterans from D.C. in demanding D.C. statehood. @51for51

The @GOP doesn’t care about veterans and they don’t care about our nation’s seniors. Time and again they choose screwing us over instead of helping. #RepublicanWarOnSeniors

Watching Republicans play games with critical defense bills and block military promotions is sickening. The people I served alongside of deserve better from their elected officials. #MAGAHarmsOurTroops

Don’t you dare give a gold star to any of the republicans who are jumping into escape pods and supporting impeachment after coddling & enabling everything that directly led to this moment. #ArrestTrump #ImpeachTrump #VetsAgainstTrump #VetsForImpeachment

He did indeed f*ck around and then find out. Now the @TheJusticeDept should hold him, Trump, and everyone else involved in this criminal conspiracy accountable. #January6thCommiteeHearings #Jan6thHearings #Jan6Justice

#TransRefuge Bill Update: MN House Majority Leader @Jamiemlong put forward a vote to suspend the rules to allow House to go past midnight. This might go even later because Republicans would rather waste time than help trans kids. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #mnleg @outfrontmn

This is what conservative & religious right wing rhetoric leads to. Your drag bans, grooming talk, & don’t say gay bills create the environment for this violence. STOP IT!

Hot Strike Summer is turning into Unionized Autumn! Love to see this staple of the South joining up. Workers deserve living wages and dignified conditions. The real All-Star Special is joining a union. 🥳 #UnionStrong #UnionsForAll

Waffle House is a social institution in the South. In the Age of Biden (not about Biden's age!), with Union Joe, the most pro-union POTUS ever, workers are striking for better wages-star chef Gerald Green: “Well, I am a rockstar, so at my restaurant, I am making $17.75."
