"It's Obvious" - Damien Rodriguez Pt.2 Writing the Wake of War

ATTN: @kgw.com.web.brid.gy
I have emailed a formal demand to correct the story and apologize to the #veteran you harmed when your reporter suggested, on air, that #combat experience in any way causes hate and criminal behavior. #GIJustice is Missing In Action because of reporters like Pat Dooris.

"It's Obvious" - Damien Rodriguez Pt.2 Writing the Wake of War

In the interest of public accountability, @lauragunderson.bsky.social, I am suggesting my audience email you asking why your employer, @oregonian.com, weaponized a federal law against one of the very classes it was created to protect.

Why is #GIJustice Missing in Action in Oregon?

"Thank you again" — GI Justice On Kept Gates and Civilian Bias There is a kind of rejection that tells you something the editor didn't mean to say.

No engagement with the argument. No indication of what "current needs" meant or whether the gap I was describing — the absence of constructive martial theology in a century of #civilian discourse — was something they recognized or disputed. gijustice.com/blog/thank-y...

The @oregonian.com has an anti-military bias problem. And I have the receipts.

This kind of writing ⬇️ fits their pattern of painting #veterans in the worst possible light. It’s no wonder #Oregon has a disproportionately high rate of #military #suicide.

Yeah because the federal law is sooOOOooo useful… 🙄

#Veterans don’t need another toilet paper bill for civilian amusement. We need basic civil rights, the same our service supposedly secures.

As I See It: War is a good time to reflect on a law not enforced Opinion: Why should military families, who have committed no crimes, receive less urgency than the families of those who have?

It's not too late to address the deafening silence to which you to consign #military families, #RonWyden.

A reasonable person would feel embarrassment for depriving #soldiers and #veterans of their rights.

Are you, @wyden.senate.gov, or are you no different than #Trump's tribe?

GI Justice

Now that we're in another #war, here's my advice to other #veterans; Don't fight til you have rights 🤷

#GIJusticeIsMIA, so why send soldiers to fight for others' freedom when they don't have it themselves?

What OSU Celebrates, and What It Bans — GI Justice The Oregon State University media department recently published a profile of Nikki Gold , named National Student Veteran of the Year by Student Veterans of America. Gold's story is genuinely compelli...

The institutional math by @oregonstate.edu is insidiously simple: uphold an unlawful ban against a #veteran who publicly names overt bias, celebrate and reward the #BlueFalcons serving the institution's preferred narrative.

Dividing a federally protected class is the new "separate but equal."

American #soldiers, #veterans, & military Dependents have no #CivilRights.

@gijustice.com is a reminder that there was never an America to begin with bc we can’t shake oligarchy.

🐮 Transfiguration - First Formation: Spiritual exercise for rank & file believers Readings: Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99; 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2; Luke 9:28-43.

Today’s Revised Common Lectionary reading from Exodus 34 and the Christian feast we celebrate today should leave no ambiguity

Moses, Elijah, and “Jesus” were all #trans figures.

Justice Denied: Damien T Rodriguez Does it matter whose anti-military bias is at the wheel?

A lack of integrity from @oregonian.com and #PortlandPoliceBureau meant a career service member got dragged in the press for a crime with which he was never charged.

This is why #GIJustice is MIA.
