Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country.
But let’s be clear—#PurpleHeartDay can’t just be symbolic. If you’re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not really honoring them.
💜 🇺🇸 💜
Thank You and don't let up. Democracy is on the line.
.
Republicans, who embrace war as a jobs program, love the soldier.
But they hate the vet.
After all, we wouldn't want to insult the military industrial complex with less war and lower profits due to an outbreak of peace and increased spending for veterans.
That would ruin them.

Ibrahim Traore for president! He has more integrity in his little toe than all of the American government combined.
My brother had a Purple Heart and yes we need to really take care of our vets
Fight with everything you got, as if your life depends on it, because it certainly does.
Including our trans veterans who Trump just fucked over
oof thanks, I got hurt in Mosul iraq but they didnt give me a medal. It took months for them to give my combat action badge for being shot at and blown up. 100% disabled now looking at surgery for my injury that happened 20 years ago.
I want healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, but I also want the same thing for all Americans.
I heard Trump hates Purple Heart day. We need to get rid of Trump. Democrats to the rescue.
As a PH recipient, thank you for saying all of this.
Absolutely agree
It's nice to see people demonstrating & politicians doing what little they can to stave off destruction. Maybe it's time for everyone to band together for a national strike. It's very popular in Europe & allows people to take control of the situation & have more power & influence on the situation.
Never honor traitors. Any soldier who is aiding + abetting trump by obeying his orders is a traitor. There is no middle ground here. Wounded or not.
ICE
here in Long Beach every time ICE shows up we will play the 3rd session Trump paid Epstein to have with Katie Johnson... the PEDO play Trump wanted to blackmail the lation maid and friend to do fun things to him

I had a pretty slutty year at 22, it was a lot like warfare dodging pregnancy and stds. I think I deserve a Purple Heart.
Have I mentioned how refreshing it is to hear truth from a Representative of the People? Your voice rings clearly for us and, though I am not among your constituents, I appreciate you so much.
what kind of chump accepts some veterans purple heart medal he received for getting injured in battle
True as Red, White and Blue ❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙
Today we honor our real American heroes.
This man is not among them.

“I said to him, is that like the real one or is that a copy?” the Republican nominee said moments after taking the stage at a local high school.
Vote these Republican veterans OUT. They are being paid TWO paychecks monthly to screw ALL veterans over. TWO of them are guilty of stolen valor (Cotton and Mills). A couple of the are chaplains. They are TRAITORS to the uniform and everyone who swore allegiance.
Thank you!!! Keep fighting! I got your back!
💯
They bled for this country. The least we can do is fight for them.
#PurpleHeartDay isn’t a photo op. If you’re not pushing for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not honoring them—you’re using them.
There are many, many more registered democrats in Texas than republicans. I wish you would make this common knowledge - not just for the current situation, but how is the GOP winning in Texas with such a low number of republican voters? Truly, I think this needs to be investigated. Something is off

Your coworkers already outed you as another Ellen.
Enjoy the little time you have left as a congresswoman.
My Dad was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star medals…for fighting fascists in WW II…
fascists very much like those cowards we call the GOP, America’s Fascist Party.
He would salute Rep Jasmine Crockett as do I. 🫡
Veterans deserve so much better than they are getting. The current criminal regime in power shows nothing but disdain for veterans and having Pete Keg-breath as Sec Def shows lack of seriousness about our military in general.
amazing how so many from the other aisle somehow believe the performative kissing and hugging of a flag is more meaningful and patriotic than, you know, actually helping veterans.
How about Healthcare, housing and justice for all?
So FIGHT
The orange turd has a purple heart now 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Thank you, again, Congresswoman, for being the beacon.
Any recent, pertinent examples, Congresswoman?
I agree 100%! We've been screwing our veterans since the Korean war. Ask any Vietnam vet!!!
👍🫶👊🙏
Thank you. My grandfather was a POW and a Purple Heart recipient. He was placed on 100% disability and my my grandparents would not have survived without that.
Too many vocal vets are MAGots. The rest of us need to let everyone else know that not all vets are MAGots.
Thank you, Queen...
You go, girl!
As a purple heart recipient, I'm with you ma'am. I'll hit the wall with you. I wish you were my rep.
💜💜
Those are the correct words thank you.
People get all these medals for fighting in wars, what do people get for fighting for life, besides being called a liberal. We have our priorities off track.
I could start with the "president" treating Arlington as the somber memorial to this very sort of thing, but that would require a sense of service free of self-proclaimed stardom and victimhood that this "president" will never conceptually understand.
Well said.
I ask nothing more of the Purple Heart families, I ask the rest of us to do more than our share. Write, call, speak up, speak out,
This 🩷 vet says TYVM
Thank you love 💗
Wait! What about the new charts with fake job numbers?!
Fitting the trump regime disolves union VA contracts on this day.
Honoring and Undermining in the same breath
Do you get a purple heart for bones spurs in the face of cowardice? Asking for an 🍊
Look who is giving it a draft dodger
Per CNN, The US Air Force said it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits.

“But let’s be clear—#PurpleHeartDay can’t just be symbolic. If you’re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not really honoring them.”
Exactly: ⬆️
And to honor veterans today, Trump voided all the union contracts at the VA. Including Doctors, nurses -- all of it. #FuckTrump
I am a homeless Purple Heart combat Veteran. The conservatives have Dumbed Down the people too bad for The Citizens to reciprocate Our Service.
JFC, stop with the "Let's be clear" shit! Everyone's sick of it!
I’m not even a wounded warrior, but I am a 100% disabled veteran whose nervous system was destroyed by stuff that happened during my service. I’m in pain 24/7 365… at a level that is intolerable to most people. I’m still trying to fight for those who work for the VA supporting veterans.
Shut the fuck up
You always say the right thing in a clear and precise way! My family has fought in EVERY war this country has been in. It makes me furious low life's including Elon Musk and the 2 branches of government made him president. All the lives lost for this POS!

My dear dad was a Vietnam veteran who died in June. He succumbed to illnesses related to AO &dementia. He was a Sargent who fought hard for his country. It makes me sick how many people don't give a damn about our veterans and sure have no respect for them. Thank you for your post. #purpleheartday
The USA has a very long history of treating its veterans as subhuman second class losers.
Grateful for you!
Be clearer, though!! I think "vote blue for healthcare, housing, & justice for our veterans"! Honor them with your blue 💙 vote.
Here's the solution! Can we please just fight for this? Then we never have to fight for anything else ever again. Men can still have patriarchy but matriarchy is now sitting in the war room. #Matriarchy
Agreed
And fighting for trans service members who deserve so much better than the way this admin is treating them.
Well now they’re taking the pensions away from trans members and denying them the right to resign. Separating them under shady circumstances instead.
You do realize that near, or over, 70% of voting military veterans voted for Drumpf, right? 😳... Have you wondered why? 🤔
President bone spur thinks you guys are losers and suckers
My Uncle Ned - Okinawa.

If they support trump i absolutely abhor them
Aren't there enough reminders that those who have helped kill the poor are better and more important than the rest of us? Don't you value anything besides genocidal violence? Am I less of a Man because I never murdered a family on command of a pedophile? Where is our Holiday? Those who didn't kill?
Thank you Jasmine!🙏

They just declared any trans people in the military will not be receiving their pensions as they strip union members from the VA. They line their own pockets and care nothing for the USA and its eclectic diverse and brilliant people.
Yes! Mr. 🍊🤡 cares less
“When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For bullshitter, all bets are off: he is neither on the side of true nor on the side of false” -Frankfurt
Meanwhile the Air Force is fucking over trans veterans and the VA is fucking over their workforce.
Yep. This new regime really “supports the troops” alright… this is what we swore an oath for?
Congressional hearings with the survivors. Do it
Seeing Trump say anything about this, when he referred to the dead Americans buried in France as "suckers" and "losers" .. made me sick ..
