Your regular reminder that #Fascist draft dodging #DonaldTrump trying to unconstitutionally label "Antifa violence" as "terrorism" would mean every single Allied #WWII #veteran is a "terrorist" by their insane "definition". *EVERYONE* that kicks Nazi asses is literally an #Antifacist. Vance was right, Trump is officially "America's Hitler" now.

I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower
I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans
I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.
I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.
My whistleblower story is here:
https://whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/
I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.
I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.
I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.
Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.
The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.
When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.
This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:
https://rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-not-a-christian
The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.
The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.
I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.
The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.
It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption
Please boost this message.
Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

KYIV, Ukraine — 'Oi!' exclaimed a #Ukrainian punk rock #veteran, nicknamed 'Utyug' (which is Russian for iron). It was a natural Ukrainian response to a question about him becoming a punk #rocker.

Unemployment Rate For Veterans Drops To 3.2%, Women Vets Surge On Jobs Market
“MILITARY TIMES” By Richard Sisk
“The unemployment rate for veterans dipped to 3.2% in May, bolstered by a gain among women veterans despite fears that artificial intelligence could trigger layoffs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly jobs report.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
“The jobless rate for all veterans fell from 3.7% in April to 3.2% in May. The rate for the post-9/11 veterans ticked up from 4.0% in April to 4.1% in May but was still down from 4.5% in March, the bureau’s report said.
One trend in the report was the continuing improvement among the nation’s 2.1 million women veterans, as shown by a three-month surge – from an unemployment rate of 7.1% in March to 4.4% in April and 3.3% in May.
The last time the unemployment rate for women veterans was less than the rate for male veterans was in January 2019, when women veterans had a jobless rate of 2.7%, compared to 3.0% for male veterans.
However, the BLS has issued occasional cautionary notes on the data for women veterans, stating that the data comes from a much smaller sample than for male veterans and was thus susceptible to greater fluctuations.
One reason women veterans may be doing better on the jobs market is that more employers are realizing that “women make excellent employees,” said Heather Long, chief economist for the Navy Federal Credit Union.
In her estimation, the latest jobs report showed that the market’s recent “low hire, low fire” environment had come to an end. “The hiring recession is over,” Long said in a phone interview Friday.
She also noted that wages were not keeping up with inflation – the BLS said that wages were up 3.4% in May while the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in a recent report projected that Consumer Price Index for May would come in a 4.2%.
“It’s a split-screen economy,” Long said, noting that job growth was continuing while the nation was at war in Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was closed, inflation was ticking up, the nationwide average for a gallon of regular gasoline Friday was $4.24, and the main concern of voters in numerous surveys was “affordability.”
The improving performance of women veterans was unsurprising to Kevin Rasch, the Warriors to Work regional director at the Wounded Warrior Project.
“Employers recognize the value of having veterans” on the payroll, Rasch said. “They bring a lot of value to the table,” he said in a phone interview Friday – and that recognition was now being given to women veterans.
Rasch recently returned from a trip to Germany where he visited U.S. bases to speak with active duty troops to learn of their concerns about transitioning back to civilian life in the states.
“AI is one of the hot topics” for those transitioning troops who feel that they could be at a disadvantage in the civilian jobs market, Rasch said. His team was prepared to coach those transitioning veterans on coping with AI, Rasch said, but he also said that “AI is not going away.”
Rasch said job seekers should not automatically blame AI when they lose out on a position because “someone learned how to use AI better than you.”
The predictions ahead of the release of the BLS jobs report suggested that AI would be a factor in job losses. “AI is now the leading reason companies give for cutting jobs and the primary industry citing it is technology,” Andy Challenger, labor and workplace expert and chief revenue officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement prior to the release of the BLS report.
The BLS report said that total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 172,000 jobs in May, which was similar to the gain of 179,000 jobs in April.
“Leisure and hospitality added 70,000 jobs in May, well above the average monthly gain of 14,000 over the prior 12 months,” the BLS report said. Food services and bars added 48,000 jobs, health care added 35,000 and manufacturing added 7,000.
“This is about the strongest market of my lifetime,” Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, told CNBC of the job gains.”

June is PTSD Awareness Month. For me, it's naming the terrifying feeling of dissociation: watching your life from the outside.
As an Air Force vet & first responder, I know this weight. In my upcoming novel, Have Yourself a Post-Apocalyptic Christmas, I explore it through "The Ghost"—a man haunting his own zombified body, a passenger in his own skin.

In Kapitel 5 von „Lagenstein - Feldjäger in Afghanistan“ tauchen wir tief ein in Tobias‘ Einsatzgeschichte und suchen zeitliche Parallelen zu Akteuren der Veteranenliteratur. Wir begegen z.B. Achim Wohlgethans Buch „Endstation Kabul“, Heike Groos „Ein schöner Tag zum Sterben“, Hagen Vockerodts Schilderungen in „1638 Tage im Krieg“ und den Schilderungen von Markus Götz in „Hier ist Krieg - Afghanistan-Tagebuch 2010“. #bundeswehr #afghanistan #tobiaslagenstein #militär #einsatz #veteran #isaf #KFOR

She added that she “never sacrificed the values or character of myself or the organization & always prioritized the #US #Currency Program & the value each employee brings to the mission.”
“The buck stopped here,” she wrote.
Solimene did not specify in the email why she was reassigned & did not return calls seeking comment. A 24-year Army #veteran, she had been the first #female director of the bureau.#Trump #vanity #narcissism #idolatry #currency #USdollar #law
