VFW Calls on Sen. Tommy Tuberville to Lift Hold on Military Promotions

VFW sends letter to Senator, while VFW National Commander admonishes “this is not the way Congress should do business”

September 18, 2023

WASHINGTON – In a letter sent Sept. 18, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is calling on Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to lift his hold on the routine promotion of military general and flag officers.

“The line in the sand for the VFW is simple: Political disputes must be handled by politicians – not within the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Sen. Tuberville’s hold on these routine promotions has consequences up and down the active-duty force that will take years to fix,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Duane Sarmiento. “By sending this letter, the VFW is making our voice very clear – this is not the way Congress should do business.”

I wanted to go up to those young Muslim mums at the anti-trans rally on Parliament Hill today - to explain that these right-wing transphobes are NOT their friends, that many of them probably dislike Muslim women in hijabs almost as much as they dislike queer/LGBQT people. I know politics makes strange bedfellows. But if we don't stand together to protect each other's rights - even when we disagree - then we stand nowhere. #cdnpoli #Ottawa #yow #TransRightsAreHumanRights

GOP's individual obstruction strategy will not end well...

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare

—No universal childcare

—No paid family & medical leave

—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

"We know the names of tens of thousands of children and have evidence on hundreds of thousands of others kidnapped by russia in the occupied territories of Ukraine and later deported.
…
Those children in russia are taught to hate Ukraine, and all ties with their families are broken… This is clearly a genocide."

#Ukraine President Zelenskyy, speaking before the #UN Security Council, calls for #Russia to be stripped of its veto power as it’s impossible to stop the #UkraineRussiaWar “because all actions are vetoed by the aggressor.”
