V.A. Begins Drive to Put Homeless Veterans Into Guardianship

1/2
🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable.
🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Legal experts warn the real goal is forcing veterans into “congregate or institutional settings” when housing isn’t available. Trump promised to END veteran homelessness. Instead, he cut housing funds — and now wants to lock vets away rather than house them. This is what betrayal looks like

He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.

US inflation stayed flat at 2.4% in February before effects of war on Iran kicked in

“Promoting economic prosperity and better standards of living at home and around the world was not just about peace or justice, Eisenhower thought; it was about saving humankind.”

And every scientific study on this and similar matters that I have encountered, supports Eisenhower’s contention 100%

How the US far right bought into the myth of white South Africa’s persecution

When Trump granted white South Africans refugee status, he was echoing a falsehood about Black people taking revenge for years of brutality. But no one flourishes in a repressive police state

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?

BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.

The Trump White House is gaslighting us again, this time over the massacre of scores of Iranian children by the U.S. military. Despite clear evidence of this, they are insisting that Iran bombed its own school. That’s a lie. My write-up in the replies.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...

Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.

And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.

War is a racket.

Speaker Johnson could call the House back and vote to fund TSA today.

Let’s be clear: long lines at the airports are a direct result of Republicans insisting ICE be able to defy court orders, kidnap and murder people and face zero consequences.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

2266 years ago, on the 10th of March 241 BCE, the Romans sank the Carthaginian fleet at the Battle of the Aegates, ending the First Punic War. Sicily changed hands from Carthage to Rome. This consolidated Roma as the dominating military force in the western Mediterranean. #otd #history 🗃️
