🇺🇸 As a Columbia U alum, I never thought I'd hear the dean of the prestigious Journalism School tell students to scrub their social media of Middle East content because “Nobody can protect you. These are dangerous times.”

From the article: "Transgender people who have served the United States in uniform in the military will no longer be treated with dignity at Veterans Affairs facilities. The Department of Veterans Affairs on Friday afternoon rescinded Directive 1341, a policy that for years ensured transgender, nonbinary, and intersex veterans received respectful, clinically appropriate health care, The Advocate has learned."

"The directive provided clear protections for these veterans against discrimination within the VA system and established standards for their care, including access to hormone therapy, mental health support, and the ability to use VA facilities in accordance with their gender identity.

"Directive 1341, officially titled Providing Health Care for Transgender and Intersex Veterans, was first issued in 2018 to affirm the VA's commitment to equitable health care for transgender and intersex veterans. It specified that transgender veterans be housed according to their gender identity in VA residential treatment programs and allowed them to use bathrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity. The directive has undergone multiple updates, with amendments in 2020, 2023, and 2024 to strengthen LGBTQ+ health care protections further."

Advocate.com · Trump admin revokes protections for trans veteransBy Christopher Wiggins

This from military.com on the slashing of VA budgets, plus the advantages of VA care for veterans. Even if the US had comprehensive government funded, national healthcare, some type of VA would be required.

The right has always hated any care for veterans. Nixon cut benefits, Reagan likewise (Biden was also a cut supporter in the 80s-90s), Bush 2 until pressured by Dems, and Trump.

Why any American would join the military now is beyond me. It’s just a ploy to get more resources for the #rich

Coast to coast US #protests against the dangerous cuts to our #veterans' services, and not a word in the cowardly corporate media!

When the American people march in protest, it is big news. Normally this would dominate all other headlines. I certainly can't remember a time when we had nationwide protests and there was just... no mention of them.

And I'm old enough to remember laughing at Baghdad Bob.

The infamous but amusing Iraqi Minister of Information under Saddam Hussein, holding up his hands. Text reads "THERE ARE NO AMERICANS PROTESTING!"

My friend's daughter-in-law is a nurse practitioner at a VA hospital. She's been instructed to send, every week, an email to Elno listing 5 things she did during the week.

She says that #VA #healthcare workers, who can make more money in the private sector, are quitting in droves.

First Red Don creates an #unemployment crisis for #veterans, who make up a considerable segment of the federal workforce. Now he's creating a healthcare crisis.

Don't forget that he's also screwing #Afghans and others who supported American #military operations as translators and in other roles.

There's only one possible conclusion: President Fragile Ego Tinyhands hates our veterans, our #troops, and all who support them.

WOW just got back from the veterans' march, which overshot the event permit's estimated crowd size by 2 orders of magnitude.

With very good reason, the anger is extremely intense. Every time a speaker mentioned Republicans, there were many shouts of "COWARDS" and "TRAITORS" and "WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS??" among deafening boos.

There were also chants of "FUCK CHUCK SCHUMER," and this was a crowd with lots of federal workers in it.

Tensions erupted at a North Carolina town hall as Rep. Chuck Edwards faced a furious backlash for supporting a budget that veterans feel jeopardizes their benefits. A veteran’s emotional outburst encapsulated the crowd's frustration, echoing a broader sentiment of neglect from politicians towards their needs in favor of the wealthy. Edwards’ remarks on Trump further fueled discontent. Discover the full story here: crooksandliars.com/2025/03/gop #Veterans #Politics #ChuckEdwards
