They were called the Bonus Army. Veterans who marched in 1932 to demand what they were promised. Now it’s our turn. #UniteForVeterans #BonusArmy2025 app.sosha.ai/s/qTe2a5xd

In 1932, veterans marched on Washington because the country turned its back on them. They called themselves the Bonus Army. They showed up with families, with dignity - and they were forced out at gunpoint. We remember. And now we march in their footsteps. #UniteForVeterans app.sosha.ai/s/pt0ShQ88

#WhyIMarch on June 6th: The Trump regime is erasing the history and contributions of women, people of color, and indigenous people from official military records and public websites, further diminishing recognition of our service and sacrifices. 1/3 #UniteForVeterans #BonusArmy2025 #50501Vets

Thank you to #IL03's National Veteran Arts Museum (NVAM) for inviting me to your closing reception of the “Beyond the Uniform” exhibit in D.C.! Grateful for their work in lifting up the diverse experiences of our veterans through creative self-expression. The exhibit made #IL03 proud!

#ICYMI: The Air Force revealed earlier this year that a general who oversaw its lobbying before Congress had inappropriate relationships with five women. Sources say one of the women whose relationship with him was scrutinized was Sen. Joni Ernst. (Published March 2025)

Curtis Yarvin goes on @cnn.com, confirms that he wants a monarchy to replace democracy, says racist things and informs @hadasgold.bsky.social that he's in touch with Trump staffers. Nice to see the mainstream press catch up on this dangerously weird ideology. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

Today was the last day of school in many Ukrainian schools. The childhood of many #Ukrainian kids is very different from their peers in other countries. This video gives a glimpse of their experiences.

We are watching in real time as ice fully embraces its fascist paramilitary soul. Ice is escalating. They are going to hurt or kill someone counter protesting them and then it’s open seasons. We are all about to get punched in the head hard by these fascists.
