My latest batch of posters to stick up around nearby towns here in my red state… #Kremlev #DonJr #MassiveCorruption #RussiaRussiaRussia #NoFascistUSA #StopTrump #ReleaseTheFiles
The photo is of my hand holding four half-letter-sized (5.5 inches by 8.5 inches) posters. The posters are just black all-capital letters on white paper, and they read: “Come on, man. Don Junior married Epstein’s banker’s daughter… And a Russian oligarch and pal of Putin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for their wedding??? These people really think you’re stupid!… Are you??”

Cannabis products have done 2 & only 2 things in my life the past ten years. 1. Takes my extreme tiredness & adds sleepiness to it so I can fall asleep and not just be wired but too tired to move, 2. If I’m losing too much weight 1 puff before dinner makes me hungry. Y’all why’d that be illegal?

If you put up a poll asking folks what they would put in the blank space here: “We’ll never be a great country as long as __________,” got 100 answers but only had room for 25, almost every one of the other 75 people would believe that you didn’t choose theirs because you are anti-whatever-they-are.

We're gearing up here in NE Alabama for a guns-blazing, full-court agitprop press from now until the midterm elections. Here are a few of the stickers we are printing out on label sheets to give to local youth (and Millenials LOL) to stick up around town, give to friends, etc. #NoFascistUSA #BlueDot
A photo of some of the stickers and posters we've printed out so far - more to come!  They're all black and white except where I've colored words in red with markers, and they're printed on quarter- or half-page size labels except for one which is smaller.
1. Says, "Biblical marriage was the sale of women. and anyone who believes in it should be regarded as a threat to society."
2. Titled, "Conservative or Liberal, Right or Left... Elon Musk is  not on your side!  Tech Billionaires are working to dismantle democracy" but below that are too many words to put in alt text. It goes on to outline everything Musk had done and how to contact electeds to complain about it.
3. "How sad it must be, believing that scientists, scholars, historians, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is your only beacon of truth and honesty."
4. Two headlines, one on top of the other, with a small blurb from the article under each headline.  The first headline is "Rubio says Maduro is 'under indictment for pushing drugs in the united states." and the second headline is, "Trump pardons cocaine kingpin who ruled Honduras," showing that it definitely was NOT about the drugs.
4. A smaller sticker meant to be stuck together with number 3, this one says, "Believe it or not, it is illegal and immoral to attack and invade a foreign nation in order to steal their natural resources!"
5. "Trump is not giving you a $5000 Trump dividend. 
They’re not giving you $9,000 to stay home with your kids. 
They didn't give you the DOGE check. OR the tariff refund. OR $2 gas. OR cheaper groceries. OR a healthcare plan. OR 600% off your meds. At some point, you’ve chosen 
to be gullible." which is a slight re-wording (mostly for space) of a social media post made by Kammy Johnston.

I usually only post good news and good trouble for those of us resisting the fascist criminals currently running our country, but today I’m taking a break to post an absolutely heartwarming story of decisive and heroic action. #ChinaGT #LoekHartog
Screenshot of a social media post by Ollie Millroy: “I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Bloekhartog_ stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car. I don't remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life. One day I will tell our three kids this story and Loek will be the biggest superhero in history in their eyes too.
I'm laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse.
Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today.
Thank you to everyone for your kind messages. I will try and get back you now that I have a few days in bed. I'm counting my lucky stars tonight, that's for sure. Fern is on the plane out here and I'm surround by my team, my Taiwanese and Chinese family Team AAl. I have a couple of operations tomorrow to put everything back where it should be, then a few weeks resting here before I can fly.
Thank you to ferrariraces for building a car capable of taking that impact and I'm sorry for our Gaaimotorsports crew and my team mate _yinyux that you have lost your rocket ship today.
Rebuild, recover and then back on the horse.”Screenshot of a post by Loek Hartog:

“I've had a lot of messages about what happened today, so I wanted to share my perspective.
When I saw a car turning into a huge fireball far ahead, there wasn't really a decision to make. From what I had seen, I genuinely believed the driver might not be able to get out by himself. I stopped, got out and went towards the car.
There was never a moment of doubt.
And reflecting on it afterwards, I'm mostly grateful for the people I've had around me throughout my life and career who have taught me to recognise when something is bigger than racing and to live in the present. This is what living in the present is like.
It was scary. There were moments where I didn't know I would actually be able to get Ollie out. But this isn't about what I did, and I'm sure many people in the same position would have reacted exactly the same way.
I'm just thankful that I happened to be in that place at that moment.
It also gives you an enormous appreciation for the safety standards we sometimes take for granted.
When you see an accident that violent and a fire that large, you realise exactly why all of it matters.
Most importantly: Ollie is okay.
Today could have ended very differently. I'm incredibly grateful that it didn't.”

I’m at an event in FYFFE, ALABAMA where 3 #Democratic candidates are speaking - Gov. candidate @dougjones.bsky.social, Lt. Gov. candidate Philip Ensler, and Agriculture Commissioner candidate Ron Sparks, and there are 200+ people here! It’s doing my heart good. (Photo blurred on purpose, see alt)
A photo taken inside the Fyffe Senior Center. There are acoustic tile drop ceilings with fluorescent lights, many long tables with red, white and blue tablecloths, and there are easily over a hundred people in this room, and there’s another room at the end of this room that you can’t see. The photo has been intentionally blurred because I haven’t gotten anyone’s permission to post their photo and many people here are actually afraid of their MAGA neighbors.

This is an image featuring a photo of President Lyndon Baines Johnson with the text: "President Lyndon B. Johnson
On the signing of the Medicare Bill
July 19, 1965
There are more than 18 million Americans over the age of 65.
Most of them have low incomes.
Most of them are threatened by illness and medical expenses that they cannot afford. And through this new law ... every citizen will
be able, in his productive years when he is earning, to insure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age.
comind
...
No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine. No longer will illness crush and destroy the savings that they have so carefully put away over a lifetime so that they might enjoy dignity in their later years.
No longer will young families see their own incomes, and their own hopes, eaten away simply because they are carrying out their deep moral obligations to their parents, and to their uncles, and their aunts. And no longer will this Nation refuse the hand of justice to those who have given a lifetime of service and wisdom and labor to the progress of this progressive country.
But there is another tradition that we share today. It calls upon us never to be indifferent toward despair. It commands us never to turn away from helplessness. It directs us never to ignore or to spurn those who suffer untended in a land that is bursting with abundance.
And this is not just our tradition — or the tradition of the Democratic Party — or even the tradition of the Nation.
It is as old as the day it was first commanded: "Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, to thy needy, in thy land."

Please feel free to repost this, print this and paste this up anywhere you like. I just make them because I want to put history in front of the eyes of the general public.
