That number is going to rise exponentially, unfortunately. Vivek and the Apartheid kid are going to decimate VA.

I’m a veteran, my stepfather was one of the 22 on Aug 21, 2019. I fear this number will rise if trump cuts benefits. I rely on my disability check and healthcare, but I’ll be okay. I know many who can’t survive without it.

emeraldangel144.bsky.social•104 days ago

I as well. They have zero clue that their vote, was a vote to destroy their world. All because of hate.

kason0420.bsky.social•106 days ago

I am sorry abt your stepfather, Kendall. May he rest in peace.

I also have to remember that there are over 500 deaths a day in America due to excessive alcohol use.

I’m one who thought about it last week. It’s already so hard to get mental health help & can take months for an appt.

RepubliCONS love US for their cannon fodder (remember the pro-life demands for an “unlimited supply of domestic infants”) but really, really hate it when we survive the cannons.

I know a lot of vets who keep voting for these disrespectful treasonous bastards. Loss of words a long time ago for me, Stomp.

stoputknow.bsky.social•104 days ago

Me too & I’m ineffably angry about it 🤬 My dad & ex are both disabled veterans, with daughters, granddaughters & a great granddaughter. They voted for the traitor, rapist & pedo even though I begged them not to & tried to educate them with facts. No fucking words for how deeply disgusted I am.

Just wait until president yamtits cuts $120 billion in veterans healthcare.

We tried 988 and the system totally failed us. All the do is tell you to call police, they offered no mobile crisis unit #MCU. Mental health situations, often require de-escalation techniques, patience, and empathy, which fall OUTSIDE standard police training. I would caution calling 988 or 911.

Remember tomorrow is Veterans Day and part of that is remembering them everyday.

📍Still trying to figure out pin/bookmarks in this place.

kason0420.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yea, I am hoping for that option in the near future. Used it often at the hellsite.

1ll-be-that.bsky.social•103 days ago

Fingers crossed!

What? 22 veterans per day?

kason0420.bsky.social•108 days ago

2012 VA’s Suicide Data Report. It’s likely higher now in the aftermath of the war on terror and Afghanistan, as some vets struggle to adjust to a full time civilian life.

My father was one of the 22. Probably higher now.

kason0420.bsky.social•104 days ago

I am very sorry abt your dad, Stefania. The 22 number was an avg in 2012; likely more now post 9/11 wars. May your father rest in peace.

stefania-mac.bsky.social•104 days ago

Thank you. Strong m, stubborn, teddy bear but so much pain. He lives and died on his terms. ❤️

Thank you for raising awareness of our free 24-hour Helpline!

iddybud.bsky.social•104 days ago

Thank you. I have worked as a trained volunteer on a telephone crisis line in my community. The need for someone to listen is essential for those who seek it in their darkest hours.
