  19. Veterans For Peace Will Not Be Intimidated by U.S. Government Surveillance

    Veterans For Peace Statement - August 19, 2026
    [first screenshot below]

    #VeteransForPeace (#VFP) is not surprised by news reports that our #TwinCities VFP Chapter 27, along with activists and organizations associated with #DirectActionMinnesota (#DAMN), was targeted by the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity (#DHS) for #surveillance. The #Trump regime has repeatedly shown itself to be lawless and to have no respect for truth or the well-being of people in our country or around the world.

    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.

    by Sam Biddle
    August 7 2026, 7:17 a.m. ET

    "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."

  23. Not a new thing... Unfortunately.

    #Trump pledged to house 6,000 #HomelessVets. His budget funds zero

    NPR | By Quil Lawrence
    Published May 28, 2026

    Excerpt: "Vets' housing construction and delays on the campus go back through four presidential administrations. LA veterans groups won two lawsuits in the past 15 years mandating that the VA immediately build more housing on the campus. The Biden administration appealed a 2024 court ruling and lost. So it shocked veterans groups when the Trump administration appealed that ruling again in February, despite having declared its own intention to build. And when the proposed budget finally came out in April, it included zero dollars to build new housing for any of the 6,000 veterans the president had promised."

  26. #Trump is pushing to institutionalize #homeless people. That may include #veterans

    by Quil Lawrence, June 25, 2026

    Excerpt: "More than 30,000 U.S. military veterans are homeless, according to the latest government data from an annual one-night 'point in time count.' That number is down significantly in the past decade, which most experts credit to a straightforward combination of robust funding and a philosophy focused on offering housing without prerequisites, called housing first.

    "While the Trump administration has promised new housing for vets, President Trump also signed an executive order last year titled 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which leans heavily toward institutionalizing #HomelessPeople against their will. This winter, NPR obtained slides describing a proposed #VeteransAdministration plan called '#SafeHarbor,' which would include veterans in that shift to involuntary treatment. Then, in March, the VA put out a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department about state court guardianship for veterans." [!!!]

  30. Ex-Navy entrepreneur urges young people to consider career in Armed Forces

    After being medically discharged from the Navy following 14 years’ service, the veteran – who served as a warfare specialist and assisted with English-Arabic translation – struggled to find stable employment. A grant from The RNBT (The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust) enabled the father of two to buy essential tools and equipment to launch his own business, Swans Bay Painting & Decorating & Cleaning, helping him rebuild his life.

    A unique training for life
    Today, Tymoor,46, is thriving as a self-employed tradesman and credits the Royal Navy for the mindset that helped him succeed.

    “Every young person I meet, I tell them to think seriously about joining the Forces,” he said.

    “You learn discipline, you’ll never learn from mum and dad or school. It gives you pride in being independent.

    “It makes you the person you couldn’t be in civilian life. Respect, work ethic, morals, time management, attention to detail — you learn far more of that in the Armed Forces than anywhere else.”

    He added that the mindset he learned in the Forces, together with the support he received from The RNBT, played a crucial part in helping him start his own successful small business.

    “The RNBT helped me get on my feet. Starting a business is tough, especially when you leave the Forces, but their support coupled with the discipline and time management I’d learned during my time serving, made it possible.”

    Passing it forward
    Tymoor isn’t just rebuilding his own life, but is also mentor to 22-year-old apprentice Shane.

    “I got chatting to Shane on a train a few years ago when he was on his way to Swansea to visit family,” explains Tymoor. “My stories of being in the Navy must have had an impact because a few years later he got back in touch to say he was moving to the area and could I give him a job! I was pleased to be in a position to take him on. I don’t just teach him how to paint and decorate but also how to manage and conduct himself, just like we were taught in the Forces.

    “The Navy gave me the foundations for the business I run today. It teaches you to be part of something bigger than yourself.”

    Supporting veterans to build new futures
    The RNBT supports serving and former Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel and their families, providing advice and financial assistance to those facing hardship or needing help to rebuild their lives.

    Debbie Dollner, CEO of The RNBT, said:

    “Many veterans leave the service with incredible skills, but the transition into civilian life can be challenging — especially when trying to start a business or return to the workplace. We’re proud to have supported Tymoor on his journey and proud of all our beneficiaries who continue to contribute so much to their communities after service.”
