    Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters

    A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

    "To counter the purported national scourge of 'organized retail crime,' a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."

    🇺🇸 Every flag carries a story of courage and sacrifice — from Revolutionary soldiers to today.

    🕊️Freedom has always come at a cost, paid by someone’s son, daughter, parent, or neighbor.

    Let’s continue to honor their legacy.🇺🇸

  31. TRIGGER WARNING: Military Psychology

    New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

    The article at The Guardian on the erosion of rights for patients and healthcare employees is getting lots of denial from the Trump administration and the VA, resulting in lots of press throwing it all into question such as from The Hill. (See: TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans. URL: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j & also see: mastodon.clinicians-exchange.o )

    Meanwhile, this is the topic of a discussion in the subreddit for Federal workers:

    reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/

    Someone starts out asking if The Guardian article is true. A bunch of people weigh-in with opinions that those denying it tend to be liars. Someone says The Guardian obtained a copy of the new guidelines. Worth a read at link above.

    Then someone posts a link to the new guidelines:
    va.gov/files/2025-04/MEDICAL%2

    Then someone asks what page the new guidelines are on (page 9) and in response another person posts a graphic at the following URL and ATTACHED to this message showing the OLD version and the NEW version for comparison:

    reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%

    The changes as reported by The Guardian appear to be *TRUE* as I see the language in question on page 9 of the new "BYLAWS, RULES, AND REGULATIONS of the MEDICAL STAFF of the VETERANS AFFAIRS PALO ALTO HEALTHCARE SYSTEM" at the 2nd link above.

    Subject to any further information -- this appears to be true reporting as far as I can tell.

    New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

    New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

    Please note this not "only" effects patients -- staff can be discriminated against (or fired?) for #nationalorigin , #sexualorientation , #maritalstatus, membership in a #union and/or lawful political party affiliation.

    Hashtags in quotes below added by me to the quotes.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
    URL: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j

    "Doctors at Department of #Veterans Affairs ( #VA ) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."

    "The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to #psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."

    "Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law."

    "Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."

    ...

    "They 'seem to open the door to #discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected', said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of #rape and #sexualassault – current or past political #partyaffiliation or #politicalactivity, and personal 'behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use'."

    ...

    "Similarly, the bylaw on 'decisions regarding medical staff membership' no longer forbids VA hospitals from discriminating against candidates for staff positions based on national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, membership in a labor organization or 'lawful political party affiliation'."

  35. Amazing event in #Philadelphia on #MAY25!

    “Veterans for the Constitution”

    So inspired by the #veterans & spouses uniting at Independence Hall to re-swear to the #Constitution!

    Thank you to Capt. Cutler & the Chaplain for leading this powerful moment.

    Grateful for all who came together to honor our shared values.

  36. Les #oeufs ont augmenté de 30%, la #bourse tremble, des #vétérans sont virés sans ménagement, les #électrices de #Trump à qui il avait promis le remboursement de leur #FIV se sont faites avoir, et les #hispaniques #républicains se font aussi arrêter par l' #ICE..

    What did you expect ?

    🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

    #CaptBoneSpurs has nothing but contempt for #Veterans. The #ElongatedMuskrat has never served. And both are so wealthy they will never know not being able to afford medical care, or choosing between food or medicine.

  38. I'M REPOSTING MY MOST INFORMATIVE THREADS TODAY.

    PLEASE #BOOST & #SHARE.

    Next: #Veterans. Remember a few weeks ago when #CaptBoneSpurs declared "The Presidential Medal of Freedom" (an award Trump gave to Megadonors to his campaign and draft-dodging hate radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh) was BETTER than the "Medal of Honor" b/c "You don't have to get shot or wounded to receive it"? 🤔
