THREAD: As Veterans committed in the fight stop U.S. imperialist violence, we grieve the loss of Aaron Bushnell and honor his profound protest and sacrifice. We are taking the time we need to make a full statement, but we offer these suggestions for talking about Aaronβs action:
Jackass @JohnFetterman saw veterans getting arrested and laughed.
We asked to see @SenGillibrand. We were put in cuffs.
We need leaders who listen to veterans demanding a #CeaseFireNow
Every nation that sent their troops to wage war in Afghanistan over the last 20 years should be outdoing one another to accept any and all Afghans who seek refuge.
HOW DARE YOU rip our video & hijack our voices for deception. @realDonaldTrump had yrs to #EndEndlessWar but dropped record bombs while mocking those he continues to send to kill&die. We arenβt political props for pampered, entitled @DonaldJTrumpJrβs of the π.
Take this down NOW
Wow, an Air Force vet calls Biden out for voting for the Iraq War
"We are wondering why we should vote for someone who voted for a war & enabled a war that killed thousands of our brothers & sisters?...Their blood is on your hands...My friends are dead because of your policies!"
Happening Now: US War Veterans embrace Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib and thank her for her courageous leadership to demand a #CeasefireNOW. We who have served in the US military are on the Hill today ahead of #VeteransDay to say we DO NOT support genocide! #VeteransDemandCeasefire
