Anyway, I've decided to make a series of page-sized posters featuring quotes from great Americans of the past espousing all the views that MAGA oppose today. I'll mostly focus on historical figures I think today's "conservatives" might respect, because these are to be posted around my area of 1/

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.

A moderation list for accounts that abuse moderation lists? Sounds silly, but I promise that everyone on it is there because they actually abuse blocklists to the point where it's insane. For example: today I've been labelled a fan of a soccer team I've never even heard of! bsky.app/profile/did:...

@rednblack.net is added to the "Moderation List Abusers" moderation list. Why? They added my other acct to a block list for people whose "Bio indicates that they're a Leeds fan." - I've never been to the UK - I don't follow any sports AT ALL - I did not even know that was a team - My bio does NOT.

Has anyone made (or FOUND) any infographics about how the Trump regime’s Consumer Product Safety Commission is demanding Americans’ IDENTIFYING PERSONAL INFORMATION from hospitals to give to a private contractor? I’d like to post them all over my town but I’m really not good at that sort of thing.

We were told that there would be so much winning, we would be tired of winning. We didn't realize that meant that we would be tired of winning in court against the Trump regime and the MAGA cult. Well, good news is good news. #VOTE #VotingRights #NoFascistUSA #AThreadOfHope

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the First Circuit denied the DOJ’s request to allow USPS to move forward with enacting Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. The ruling, which applies to 23 blue states and D.C., comes after a lower court blocked part of the order from being implemented.

Not good news that this woman was shot, but very good news that the dumpster fire of an “ICE Contractor” was arrested & charged. They are NOT untouchable. #ICEOut #ChingaLaMigra #NoFascistUSA #AThreadOfHope

Can you fucking IMAGINE if an American citizen was visiting another country and that country kidnapped that American citizen and then abandoned them in the middle of some random third country that was in the middle of a civil war and a deadly epidemic? During a sane administration?

Here’s another one added to the Moderation List Abusers list. Told her that all she was doing was 1. Putting words in someone’s mouth (bc she was) and 2. being sarcastic & nasty to another woman who has been the victim of male violence, so of course I’m a “Men’s Rights Activist.” JFC… insanity.

Finally. I can’t believe this issue alone hasn’t turned everyone in the NYC metro area against this vindictive traitor, but thankfully judges keep doing the right thing. Thank you, Judge Vargas! #HudsonRiver #HudsonRiverTunnel #NewJersey #NYC #JudgeJeanetteVargas #ThankYouJudgeJeannetteVargas

Judge bars Trump from cutting off Hudson Tunnel funding

The Department of Transportation announced last September that it would be pausing funding for the project to review its compliance with the administration’s stance on diversity, equity and inclusion.

An example of these moderation list abusers being SO deficient in the critical thinking department… @lanana421.bsky.social feels she has such a superpower to know all about a person based on one offhanded comment that she added me to THIS list…while I was at a local county Democratic Party event 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I volunteer with the democrats because they’re the only organized resistance to the MAGA cult in my area, but Jesus H. Christ dude, y’all have got to do better. Take steps against the absolute traitors in the party. Retire the useless corpses. Stop abandoning democratic voters in red states.

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
