Sending so much support to those working in these psychologically abusive conditions across the federal government.

The former Director, James Albino, who himself is a Navy Veteran, was removed from his position and replaced by a loyalist.
The testimony provided showed disparities in benefits and care provisions for minority veterans that will no longer be tracked in this administration, nor addressed, likely.

House Democratic Hearing on Republican Cuts Targeting Veterans YouTube video by Rep. Jeffries

While we haven't seen news about it, today, the former Director of the Center for Minority Veterans at Dept. Of VA was among those who testified as part of the Democratic Steering & Policy Committee's hearing on cuts targeting veterans.

In that commitment, he gives his followers something to strive for.

Sigh.

Attention, do we have any veterans in El Paso, Texas? Please show up so our brother-in-arms doesn't go alone. ❤️🇺🇸

Veterans are standing up and the anniversary of D-Day is going to mark the beginning of the end of fascism in America.

Impeach him today.

There are literally hundreds of reasons to choose from.

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

If this veteran is fired because Laura Loomer sent a hit tweet, there better be an investigation.

Y'all, this is wild. We probably won't have a job much longer because we're about to go tf off. #Veterans #departmentofveteransaffairs #VACO #magats TikTok video by Alt VA

Hey Veterans, Loomer just posted the name, photo, and bio of an Air Force Veteran on X who works at the VA calling for her to be fired due to a role she held last year.

@democrats-veterans.house.gov if this veteran is fired due to Loomer's call out, we fully expect an investigation at minimum.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

We just want to say—we’re sorry. We know how emotionally exhausting all of this is, and we truly understand. But you’re not alone. We’re in this together.

🤬🤬🤬

He doesn’t care about those who’ve served. Never has. Never will.

It's heartbreaking and infuriating. We firmly believe We the People means ALL of us, and our service to veterans should reflect the same.

What an undignified fuckwit.

The Commander in Chief will be fleeing to a golf tournament, costing millions more to taxpayers. Curious if any of these protests might be near any Florida golf courses, perchance?? 👀👀👀
We'd just haaaate to see the People interrupting his game.

Leaders listen and don't demean. Veteran leaders show accountability and integrity. Doug Doesn't. Don't be surprised when you don't see pearly gates, Doug. Johnny Cash done told ya. TikTok video by Alt VA

We're extremely disappointed in Secretary of VA Doug Collins.

This is NOT what Semper Fi means. If you have anything remotely victim blaming to say, think twice and remove yourself from our page. All veterans should be enraged by this. We fought for each other ... TikTok video by Alt VA

A trans veteran was beaten by other veterans who mentioned Trump’s rollback of protections during the attack.

Words matter. This is why the hateful rhetoric and policies being pushed CANNOT STAND.

"I'm frankly horrified that we are here having a discussion about important clinical decisions without any clinicians, and no offense to my colleagues, but not a single one of us should be engaged in this." - @repdexteror.bsky.social

Look. I know SecDef doesn't seem to care about OPSEC, but do we have to put everything out on the internet?

Turkey is showing the U.S. what to do. They had a democracy. They elected a authoritarian (Erdogan) and now they are getting rid of him.

Veterans Will Die If Trump and Musk Get Their Way I'm a suicide attempt survivor. I know what happens when the government abandons veterans—and it's happening again.

I’m a suicide attempt survivor. I’ve spent the last 15 years fighting to protect veterans.

Trump and Musk are pushing policies that will kill veterans—by design.

This is personal. And it's a warning.

Can we just take care of the veterans we have first? Just give our veterans the care they need? Can we do that?

We want to see @democrats-veterans.house.gov and Senate acting IMMEDIATELY.
Do NOT let them get away with what any other administration's SECDEF would be buried for.

Our hearts go out to all in public health who lost their jobs and/or funding this week. Public health professionals work tirelessly to keep our country safe and healthy. Their loss isn’t just personal—it’s a loss for everyone. FEDS, please see links below for RESOURCES for terminated employees.

News — A veteran died by suicide yesterday outside Seattle Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a rep from VA Puget Sound Health Care System confirmed to me.

Employees received an email alerting them earlier today. The veteran was not being treated at the facility. Police are investigating.

We know that just means more limbo, which is NOT cool, but we hope our trans siblings in arms can breathe a little easier and celebrate this defeat for the bigoted admin. 🏳️‍⚧️ We care, we're fighting... TikTok video by Alt VA

BREAKING: Judge Benjamin Settle enjoins the ban on transgender servicemembers and Hegseth Policy that was due to go into effect tomorrow nationwide.
No ban!

I think it depends on the form. "Multiracial" or "2 or more races" is usually an option...
This has been a change coming for some time and not specifically from this admin—that might have raised our hackles too.
