I Didn't Say It ...

Gavin Newsom, California Democrat Governor, smacking down Nationalist Christian, AKA Nat C, Little Mike Johnson who suggested Newsom be "tarred and feathered" for opposing the regime’s attack on LA:

"Good to know we’re skipping the arrest and going straight for the 1700’s style forms of punishment. A fitting threat given the [fact that the] wants to bring our country back to the 18th Century."

Tarring and feathering was an incredibly cruel form of public torture that was first popularized in medieval times. The victim would be stripped naked, coated in hot tar, then doused in feathers and run out of town. Suggesting that such a punishment should be inflicted on a sitting governor amidst an ongoing crisis is irresponsible at best and a flagrant incitement to violence at worst.

And, more importantly, not very Christ-like but then Little Mike is no Christian.

Rand Paul, Kentucky GOP Senator, on The Felon’s parade:

“Never been a big fan of goose-stepping soldiers in big tanks and missiles rolling down the street. So if you asked me, I wouldn’t have done it. I’m not sure what the actual expense of it is, but I’m not really—we were always different than the images you saw of the Soviet Union and North Korea. We were proud not to be that. I’m not proposing that that’s the image people want to project, but I’m worried about the image that it isn’t necessarily the best image to show.”

Paul was punished by being uninvited from a picnic at the White House; no, seriously, that’s The Felon’s response. Now, I don’t like Rand Paul, but I will give him a slow clap for speaking out against The Felon.

Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat Senator, on The Felon’s part in the protests and government response in California:

“Now we have seen the President of the United States say that he would arrest a sitting governor … This is the hallmark of authoritarianism on the road to tyranny—and all Americans should be shocked and appalled by the President’s blatant disregard for our Constitutional system.”

Well, we can’t count on all Americans because most GOP politicians will stand forever with The Felon until he finally falls and then they try to rewrite history. And we cannot count on the cult because their ignorance precludes them from rational thought. That leaves Independents and Moderates and Democrats to stand up and speak up and resist and get our asses to the voting booth.

Doechii, queer singer, on the regime’s anti-immigrant raids in LA during her acceptance speech at the 2025 BET Awards:

“There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. [The Felon] is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that? People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it’s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people: For Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear, and I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate and we protest against it.”

Preach!!!

Everyone preach! Tell every person you know; to paraphrase a quote from AIDS protests of 35 years ago, Silence = Oppression.

Jen Richards, transgender actress, who was hit by rubber bullets ICE, National Guard troops, and police against pro-immigration activists in LA:

We were in downtown LA today. Thousands of peaceful protestors showed up to demonstrate that we won't stand by as our neighbors get rounded up to appease the racist fever dreams of a President and his fragile ego. I was hit by flashbangs and rubber bullets, all while walking backwards with my hands up (and Rebekah Cheyne] was shoved in the chest with a police baton). I'm a rather fragile, sensitive, fight-with-my-words type, but sometimes shit goes too far and you gotta stand up for truth, liberty, and empathy. Now is that time … p.s. Flashbangs aren't too bad, they're loud and sting. Rubber bullets however ... tore through my docs!”

The regime will have you believe LA is on fire and burning to the ground and tens of thousands of people are looting and burning and breaking the law. Not so; it’s people standing up for people who are being denigrated and arrested and separated from families and homes and jobs because a little wannabe dick-tator who cried bone spurs can look tough.

Stand up to the bullies and watch them turn tail and run.

I Didn't Say It ...

Charlamagne tha God, radio host, trashing The Felon for planning an expensive military parade while the economy is crashing and prices are skyrocketing:

"All these federal jobs lost, the economy is in the toilet, people’s 401(k)’s being slashed. Nothing to celebrate right now, my guy. Isn’t that wasteful spending? Where’s DOGE at when you need them? DOGE can’t intervene in a situation like this? That seems like wasteful spending to me. You need to have a nice little light party at Mar-a-Lago for family and close friends. Don’t involve our military with that foolishness."

There have been widespread reports this week that The Felon is planning a military parade on June 14th, his birthday. The estimated cost for the parade is around $92 million while average Americans are suffering under his tariffs and watching their retirement funds evaporate and consumer goods increase in price.

Jake Auchincloss, Massachusetts Democrat Congressman, shreds The Felon’s tariffs and exposes the "corrupt" reason he instituted them in the first place:

"How rare and fleeting courage can be. It's the same lesson we are dealing with with Russia. Appeasement does not work. Only strength works. These businesses need to band together and speak in unison. That's why they have trade associations. That's the whole point, is to do that. Same thing with law. Because ultimately trying to court the bully one on one is not actually going to win them any special favor and all it's going to do is embolden [The Felon] to take further damaging action. We know how transactional he is and frankly we know how corrupt he is. This is an element that we need to watch carefully because at the beginning of his presidency [The Felon]  and [his] family issued meme coins, basically monetized the presidency to the value of their net worth. And the reason that I bring that up is because that allows every business and every country to purchase shares in [The Felon]'s net worth secretly. So now that they have tariffs levied against them and tariffs that were calculated inscrutably, there’s going to be a tremendous market for buying influence with [The Felon] because it's very clear that he's not listening to his Treasury Secretary about how these tariffs are set. He's assigning [the tariffs] upon a whim and if they can show him a receipt for 'hey I gave you a billion dollars worth of crypto' he may change his mind on that. That further undermines any sense of credibility or certainty in our economy about how these tariffs are set and further undermines his argument that somehow we're going to reshore businesses. If you're a textiles manufacturer in the United States right now, you have no confidence in what these tariff rates are going to be over the next several years because of how corrupt and incompetent this administration is. So you're not going to make the capital investments necessary to really redomesticate any industry."

And, yes, the tariffs are on pause for now, while his billionaire friends see their portfolios increase and average Americans see theirs shredded, but it doesn’t mean he won’t continue destroying America for the wealthy.

Resist. Vote Blue. Demand impeachment.

Doechii, rap star and Grammy Award winner, at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, on how Lady Gaga inspired her as a kid:

"Growing up, I was nothing like most of the people I was around and everything about me represented a community of alternative kids ... I was considered weird, but it's OK, because things worked out. As a kid that identified as an artist, as queer, and as a Little Monster, Lady Gaga wasn't just a pop star, she was a lifeline. Gaga taught us that it was OK to be our real selves, to try new things, to try anything, to speak out and to create. Gaga was and always is new, fresh, and different. And not only is that OK, but it's ideal. Over the last two decades, her music, her art has constantly evolved from dance floor anthems to pop rock to jazz standards. She has pushed boundaries, including her own and made all of us feel like we belong. Lady Gaga is an innovator because she has to be. She was born that way, and we love her for it."

Gaga has shown that you can do many things artistically and personally, and none of them are wrong; they are your truth.

Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat Senator, speaking out on behalf of the lower and middle class, blue-collar workers, and marginalized communities, in the face of this new regime’s antics:

“It’s sort of a Senate tradition where senators sign their names in the drawer of their desks. Ted Kennedy’s name is signed in my desk drawer, and his brother’s name is signed above it. When I have had some hard days on the floor of the Senate, when the Republicans are really doing some horrible stuff and sometimes getting some help from the Democrats, I will sit at that desk and pull the drawer out a little and just run my thumb across where those earlier senators have signed in. I remind myself that we are in this democracy for the long haul. Let's start with [The Felon]'s game of red light, green light on tariffs. It's bad for everyone. It's bad for buyers. It's bad for manufacturers. It's bad for workers. It's bad for everyone because no one invests in building more jobs and more capacity here in the United States if they don't have some understanding of what the business landscape and the rules will be going forward over the next few years. Tariffs can be a valuable tool in the toolbox when they're used, for example, to protect a supply chain that we need to bring onshore or to support a business that's just getting started, but broad across-the-board tariffs just raise prices for families everywhere. The estimates for what these tariffs will cost are conservatively now running into the thousands of dollars for every middle-income family in this country. Co-presidents [Leon Skum and The Felon] want to deliver $4.7 trillion in tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations, and they want to pay for it on the backs of everyone else, including seniors who are in nursing homes, little kids who are in public schools, your neighbor who has a disability and needs an aide to come by so that they can live independently. [Leon Skum and The Felon] want to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by ending student loan debt forgiveness for people who've been in public service for decades and cutting medical research across the board. Already, the [Felon] administration has canceled at least 68 grants focused on LGBTQ+ health questions. We're losing an entire generation of science all so that billionaires can get more money and everyone else can get less. I want to be clear, for me, every member of the LGBTQ+ community is valued, and I will keep fighting to make sure that everyone can live freely and safely exactly as they are."

While one side tries to literally erase us from history and erase our rights, the other side stands with us and for us.

There is no comparison.

The Felon, responding to Fox News hack Harris Faulkner with utter gibberish, on what the Hands-Off protestors want:

“Protestors for different reasons. You’re protesting also because, you know, they just didn’t know. I’ve watch—I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren’t able to say, but they were there for a reason perhaps. But a lot of them really were there because they’re following the crowd. A lot of them were there because we witnesses was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we’ve seen it over the years. We haven’t, you know, this was one horrible example, but you’ve seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it too. I’ve seen it. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s a disgrace. And it’s got to stop.”

And Joe was too old? This Adderall-addicted, Diet Coke guzzling, Big Mac slurping, lump of illiterate flesh couldn’t string a coherent sentence together if his life depended on it.

Triston Casas, Boston Red Sox player, on why he paints his fingernails:

Bottom of Form

“Pretty much anything that bothers people, I wanna do out there. I get certain looks about it, and people say certain things about it. There’s a stereotype about it. People call me this and that and say I’m this and that. But it’s so superficial and doesn’t change anything about me. It doesn’t change anything about the person I am, or what I bring to the table. It’s just my video game character. I have trusted my routine since I’ve been a professional baseball player. It’s what’s gotten me to this point, physically, mentally, and production-wise out on the field, and I’m going to continue to do it until my playing career is over. It makes me feel confident for the games, and whatever articles of clothing are included throughout my routine is all part of the process, as well.”

He knows that insecure men criticize him for his self-expression and sometimes call him gay slurs but he doesn’t care. Standing at 6’5″ and weighing 250 pounds, Casas casts an intimidating frame and knows that anybody jeering him online is unlikely to approach him on the street. And the Red Sox are embracing Casas’ idiosyncrasies: he was recently honored with his own bobblehead, naturally, in a yoga pose with his nails painted.

I Didn't Say It ...

Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation and hopefully a future President of the United States, on The Felon’s moronic response to a plane crash and loss of life:

 “Despicable. As families grieve, [he] should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. [The Felon] now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”

Sadly, his sociopathy and narcissism won’t allow him to actually lead, or do the right thing, or worry about this happening again.

Resist.

Doechii, at the Grammys winning Best Rap Album—and becoming only the third woman to do so—to the next generation:

"I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women out there that are watching me right now and I wanna tell you, you can do it. Anything is possible. Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you that tell you that you can't be here. You are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are and I’m a testimony"

All it takes for history to move forward is for someone to take a step.

Chris Murphy, Connecticut Democrat Senator, about the Leon Skum and the USAID crisis:

“We will use every power that we have at our disposal in the United States Senate. My colleagues will do the same thing in the House. This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let’s call it what it is! The people get to decide how we defend the United States of America. The people get to decide how their taxpayer money is spent. Elon Musk does not get to decide. We are weaker today than we were yesterday. China sees that. Russia sees that and they will take advantage. Elon Musk makes billions on his dealings with China and China is cheering at his actions today. Our job and your job together is to raise our voices, raise the alarm so that this crisis is emboldening of our enemies doesn’t last a second longer than it has to.”

The Democrats need to strap on their balls and fight this asshat Skum because nothing he does is for the good of America it’s for the good of his ego and bank account; he needs to be stopped.

Alicia Keys, accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2025 Grammys, calling out The Felon’s anti-DEI stance:

“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices. We’ve seen on this stage, talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat—it’s a gift. The more voices, the more powerful the sound. When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix and as you see tonight, music is the unstoppable language that connects us all, it’s so beautiful. “It's so beautiful. Keep showing up with compassion, with empathy, what I call soul care. Keep opening the doors. The dreams that the world is ought to be, a dream that the world as is ought to be.”

Standing against DEI is standing for racism and sexism and ageism and homophobia; it’s that simple.

Daniel Dale, CNN fact checker, on The Felon’s lies about DEI and Joe Biden and that crash in DC:

“[He] has made clear he has less than zero evidence that the FAA’s hiring of people with disabilities contributed to yesterday’s crash, so this whole conversation is a non-sequitur. But since he has started the conversation, some facts. The same FAA website language [The Felon] blasted today, about hiring people with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities and other significant ‘targeted’ disabilities, was on the FAA website throughout his first presidency. In addition, the FAA under [his watch] launched and repeatedly promoted a pilot program to hire (capable, qualified) people with targeted disabilities in air traffic control positions. The Department of Transportation has pushed at least since the W. Bush administration to hire more people with targeted disabilities … and the FAA repeatedly said during [his] first term that it’d continue to do so, emphasizing, as it did under Biden, that they’d have to meet the qualifications for the posts. The ‘January 14’ Fox News article [The Felon] cited today as evidence of a last-minute Biden FAA diversity hiring push right before [he] came back to office? It was actually published a year ago—January 14, 2024. Again, it was criticizing the same language that had been on the FAA website since at least 2013.”

What’s this? An actual person working for CNN who still has a spine and speaks up?

Bravo!

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, trashing The Felon for his remarks following that deadly crash:

"It’s a very irresponsible statement that was made by the president. Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, children were killed, future ice-skating Olympians were killed, future leaders in Wichita, Kansas, and beyond were killed as a result of this tragedy. We don’t need misdirection and we don’t need misinformation coming from the highest office in the land. We need integrity, we need decency, we need leadership. There is not a scintilla of evidence that exists to suggest that women and people of color are to blame for the tragedy that took place. And it was shameful."

There is of course zero truth to The Felon's claims but these lies serve two purposes for him—

First, they excite his racist base who think that women and people of color are inherently inferior and unqualified for important jobs.

Second, they allow The Felon to distract us from the fact that at the time of the crash there was no Federal Aviation Administration leader since the previous holder of that position, Michael Whitaker, was forced out by Elon Musk—who paid $200M for The Felon’s election win—for daring to enforce regulations on SpaceX.

Again, We The People need to get loud, and our Democratic leaders need to get loud, and we need to remind our Democratic leaders that if they aren’t going to stand against this regime, then there will be no money from We The People coming into their campaign coffers.

Don’t ask for my money and then do nothing.

Resist.
