I’m filled with righteous rage tonight over the PACT Act so here’s a super thread of Senate Republicans voted to let Veterans just die using us for photo ops. It’s the ultimate #stolenvalor really.
@SenJohnBarrasso of WY likes to take pictures with Veterans but voted to let us die today.
@MarshaBlackburn of TN likes to take pictures with Veterans but voted to let us die today.
As a Veteran, I’m in shock and struggling to find words. 3.5 million of us were exposed to toxic fumes from burn pits. Advocates for this bill have literally died waiting for it to finally come to a vote and they voted to just let us die…
I took this photo in 2013 and spent months breathing the toxic fumes and I don’t even have health insurance right now because I can’t afford it like over 2 million other Veterans (conservatively)...
But these so-called “pro-life” Republicans who love to wave flags and put us in their photo ops and use us as political props when it’s convenient clearly don’t care about the lives of us Veterans who have sacrificed more for their greed than any of them could possibly repay…
Today is #ArmedForcesDay- too often a day where politicians offer platitudes about sacrifice and gratitude while they continue to send our troops to kill and die in endless wars for profit and power- not justice or freedom. #NoMoreWar /1
They pat us on the back while they line their pockets with corporate "Defense" industry campaign donations and ignore the the hunger, houselessness, and avoidable traumas our families are grappling with. #ArmedForcesDay#22aDay#MoralInjury#HousingFirst#HousingIsAHumanRight 3/
