Trump Promised to Care for America’s Veterans. The VA Is Now “Collapsing From the Inside.”

A vet who couldn’t get cancer treatment. Another unable to get surgery for a burst appendix. Trump officials claim their VA overhaul hasn’t harmed veterans, but our reporting in New Jersey reveals a healthcare system stretched thin and falling short.

The US has been forced to admit that as many as 150 US soldiers are currently counted as casualties with seven confirmed dead thus far. Iran claims the US casualty number is closer to 500. They also have alluded to possibly taking some US personnel hostage a few days ago but have not yet provided proof. Regardless, the US media currently has a LOT of questions about the deaths and injuries of American crusaders. #US #Veterans #Iran #EpicFail #epic

NYC Ditches Federal Homeless Veterans Program, Citing Concern for Transgender Vets

The city says the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs would require it to discriminate against trans vets to receive funding. The VA says that’s “false.”

WTAF #Trump says planned #arch will be a #military complex for #drones, #snipers Trump’s post about the arch planned near #ArlingtonNationalCemetery comes as #veterans groups, #historic preservationists & others attempt to stop the project. His announcement on Sunday echoed his justification for the White House #ballroom∶ that the project was necessary for national security. #law #architecture #preservation #UrbanPlanning #vanity #narcissism

📣 If You Can Help Them, Don’t Hurt Them I’m on my way to volunteer at the New England Center and Home for Veterans here in Boston. ➡️ It’s a reminder that when we see someone who may be experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, or active addiction, we’re seeing a human being. They could be a veteran, someone’s father, mother, son, daughter, grandparent, or loved one — someone who belongs to somebody. I’ve been homeless before. The only reason I was able to rebuild my life was because people believed in me and gave me hope. ➡️ If you’d like to support the NECHV, they always welcome volunteers, donations, and community engagement at https://nechv.org 🗣️ At the end of the day, we have more in common than not. If you can help someone, don’t hurt them. #Boston #veterans #addiction #recovery #ODAAT #housing #homelessness #mentalhealth #hope

Tyler Simmons was a Black US military pilot who died serving in a unjust American war. He's among the first 13 US troops who have died. Tyler's family isn't staying quite, they're instead taking to local media to point out that this war is not justified and has very little support from Black Americans. #TylerSimmons #Iran #EpicFury #US #KhameneiAssassination #BlackMastodon #Veterans

Barricades have gone up around the US Capitol, where we have a right to protest, because the mutiny of perverts is scared of the large peaceful crowds of #WashingtonDC protesters. Veterans were occupying the area yesterday. After someone tripped over a barricade, a bunch of vets said "fuck it" and went over the fallen barrier to the Capitol steps. They're protesting the use of military in DC and the attacks on veterans' benefits. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DaWTY9HiTzv/#veterans #50501movement

Whoops! Turns out I wasn't paying my VA healthcare copays... ...I didn't know I had VA healthcare copays. I thought the VA covered everything... I think the bulk of those were for prescription meds. Anyhow. While I finally got accepted into free healthcare for having served in the US military, it's not completely free. Annnnd.... because I missed that I owed them money, some of my bill was sent to a collections agency! Ha! I sorted it out and paid my collections fee. It wasn't a lot - all things considered. A couple hundred dollars over the course of a year and about $20 in fees to the collections agency (on top of what I owed them). Meh. Will just be better at checking the eHealth portal and see if I owe them anything at any give month. #healthcare #veterans #va
