BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage as American hero Harriet Tubman is finally awarded the rank of One-Star Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard.
And it gets so much better...
"Today we celebrate one of the greatest authors of the American story," said Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore at a Veterans Day ceremony. Dozens of veterans and generals attended the event at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park.
The historic bestowing of rank comes roughly 160 years after Harriet Tubman bravely led Union troops as they raided Combahee Ferry in South Carolina — resulting in the freeing of over 700 slaves.
In addition to being an abolitionist, Tubman served in the Union Army as a nurse and later as a spy and scout.
Not surprisingly, Trump supporters are flooding social media with their rage, insisting that Tubman doesn't deserve her new rank. As usual, the motivation is pure unadulterated racism.
At a time when America's future seems uncertain and racist forces are once again ascendent in our political landscape, it's important that we remember heroes like Tubman. Her belief in a better future should inspire us to fight for the same.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you fully support granting Harriet Tubman the rank of general — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Trump still hasn't signed the required ethics agreement because he has no intention of abiding it. So, any transition should stop until he signs it and if he doesn't sign it, he should not be allowed to take office. Start enforcing the fucking rules for this lunatic.
Today we honor all of the brave men and women who have served our great nation with dedication and bravery and in some cases their lives. Our Veterans should always have our respect and thanks. We should always salute them, cherish and treasure them. They and their families have sacrificed so much.
And think of all of those who have given their lives in the fight for freedom for us all. That is a debt that we can never possibly repay. We should remember that every night when we are home safe in our beds. We lost so many — each of them a living, breathing person. Part of someone’s family. Please don’t forget them.

BREAKING: The Biden administration makes the stunning announcement that homelessness among veterans has plummeted to a record low since counting began in 2009.
And it gets even better...
This past January, Biden officials counted 32,882 homeless veterans, which constitutes a 55.6% decrease since 2010. Additionally, the number of unsheltered veterans dropped from 15,507 in 2023 to 13,851 in 2024.
The numbers were released by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, HUD, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The drop is a direct result of aggressive efforts to address the problem.
The VA revealed last month that it's housing roughly 48,000 veterans and is focused on a "Housing First" approach that handles shelter and then offers veterans the services they require to remain sheltered.
VA Secretary Denis McDonough said that the country is "making real progress in the fight to end veteran homelessness" but added that "we still have a long way to go" and "we will not stop until every veteran has a safe, stable place to call home."
Our veterans deserve all of the love and support in the world. Together, we can solve this problem!

BREAKING: Jessica Tarlov just slammed Donald Trump for lying to the American people by claiming to not know what Project 2025 is and then hiring its author, Tom Homan. Make sure every American sees this.
Apparently Elmo is very, very upset with SNL because of this portrayal of him on the show this week.
So don't retweet this and make him more angry,... or he may start ghosting your followers.
@AMGrace63 Honestly, we’re talking about folks who will allow their children to be gunned down in the classroom rather than pass common sense gun laws. They sure as hell don’t care if they destroy the planet as long as they can “own the libs”.
Trump, the GOP & the Americans who voted for them, with their ignorance of climate change science & the reversal of current laws & withdrawing from COP, are going to ruin the world. Our children & our children's children & poorer countries will be hit worse.
This Veterans Day, let’s remember the generals who took a stand and tried to warn us of the existential threat Donald Trump posed to America.
RETWEET to thank Generals Jim Mattis, John Kelly, Mark Milley, and Stanley McChrystal for standing up for democracy!
Another reason to turn away from those who voted for Trump is because of the people of Ukraine. Trump voters sentenced so many of them to be ground beneath Putin’s boot. It’s unforgivable.
The politicization of the judicial system is getting dangerous as Florida Representatives have floated the idea that criminal charges could be brought against Judge Juan Merchan – and his daughter Loren Merchan
