I Didn't Say It ...

Ronaldo Salgado, son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo who was murdered by the ICEstapo, on burying his father:

“Today we laid my dad to rest. We were surrounded by family, friends, and members of the community. We played music, horses danced, and we celebrated the life of a man who provided for my mom and my brothers for more than 30 years. Tonight, I visited the site of where it all began. I was alone for the first time in 11 days. I was moved by all the candles, signs, and mementos that people have taken time out their day to place here. Thank you to all who have supported us through prayers, words of encouragement, and simply thinking about my family . I thought to myself, ‘with so much love from the community, how can I focus on any negativity?’ My dad made Houston home. And this city has been nothing but supportive. Thank you.”

The murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be a crime and those responsible need to be held accountable. He was not the undocumented immigrant who should have been detained and arrested and deported; he is not one of the criminals that the White Men and The Women Who Support Them regime was looking to find.

And to be clear, even if he was a violent criminal I thought the idea was to deport them and not murder them in cold blood.

Fuck ICEstapo; abolish ICEstapo!

Jon Ossoff, Georgia Democrat Senator, slapping Defense Secretary and DUI hire Pete Hegseth over his lies about the war in Iran:

“You said, ‘Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory.’ You said Iran’s military had been rendered, ‘combat ineffective for years to come,’ and you stated we had ‘achieved every single objective.’ You stated four months ago that Iran’s military had been rendered ‘combat ineffective for years to come.’ Has Iran’s military been for the last four months combat ineffective?”

Hegseth, of course, stammered and stuttered and looked for the nearest bar because he couldn’t answer those questions. He’s lying. Americans are dying, innocent Iranians are dying, and we have clowns in charge.

Jim McGovern, Democrat Representative from Massachusetts, on the idiotic logic of a demented man:

“[Cankles] says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while he was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election the Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.”

Seriously … if you think Cankles is right, read this quote again slowly and if you still think he’s right have someone with a higher education than you read it again and if you still think he’s right STFU because there is no help for your bran of ignorance.

David Reddish, journalist, columnist, commentator, and novelist, on what life would be like if Democrats actually rigged elections:

“If Democrats were truly rigging elections, we’d have universal health care, gun safety, high-speed rail, paid family leave. Billionaires actually paying taxes, a Democratic Supreme Court [and] President Harris would be sipping mimosas in Jackie Kennedy’s intact White House Rose Garden right now!”

We would have arches and drained broken reflecting pools and cage matches on the lawn and his name scrawled on the sides of buildings and plastic gold ornaments everywhere he had space and Superglue™.

Gavin Newsom, Democrat Governor of California, on Cankles’ big speech:

“Last night America watched the ramblings of a mad king. [Cankles’] address was not about the last election—it was about this one. Before a single vote has been cast he’s already laying the groundwork to rig this election and convince you not to trust the results if they don’t go his way. This is what authoritarians do. Don’t fall for it. Organize. Mobilize. Show up and vote in November.”

Sitting by and doing nothing because you didn’t like the white woman in 2016 or the brown woman in 2024 does no good.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!

  2. Ossoff is great. Reddish is right, which is something MAGA cultists will never understand.

  3. Notice how Kegsbreath just removed the latest 4 Iran war deaths because they happened under a "cease fire."
    People better get their asses out and vote.

  4. I saw Hegseth being minced by another Senator. He was not happy being reminded that the Orange One has declared 30 times that the Iran War was over.

  5. All very true and on point.

  6. The Salgado situation broke me a little bit more inside.
    And the thing is, nobody will be held accountable. Nobody. Because that’s what fascism does. It allows for misery and tragedy to take place without being able to bring the guilty to justice.
    Ossoff has a great future. But just wait for the Dem infighting to start. Ugh.

    XOXO

  7. Sadly for you all the impunity with which Ice is allowed to act is just one of the signs that your country is moving from democracy to a tyranny. The stealing of elections will help strengthen that move aided and abetted by SCOTUS.
