I Didn't Say It ...

Ts Madison, entertainer and trans actress and first Black trans woman to star in and executive produce her own reality series, on being a trans person in America today:

“Your visibility is your activism. Your presence is your advocacy. There is no reason for us to be living in the shadows. We’re living in a climate right now where the erasure of trans people… seems as if it’s been priority number one in this administration. The way that you garner votes is you fear monger, especially from this regime.”

Her new activism comes at a time when transgender Americans face a wave of new restrictions from the recent passage of Idaho’s bill criminalizing … CRIMINAZLIZING … transgender people’s bathroom use to Kansas,  where the government invalidated transgender drivers’ licenses and ID cards.

We all need to stand up, by and for our trans brothers and sisters.

D.L. Hughley, comedian, on not voting for Cankles:

“I am very proud I’ve never voted for a president who raped women and children. I never voted for a president who defrauded charities. I never voted for a president who celebrated the death of anybody. And half [the people] in this country can’t say that.”

Count me proud, too!

Andy Kim, New Jersey Democrat Senator, on the Pentagon preparing for a weeks-long ground invasion:

“We cannot have American troops on the ground in Iran. This is going to be such a risky operation. And for what purpose? This is not an end to this war, this is something that will only prolong it and increase the risk at a time that we’ve seen already so many service members put at harm’s way, and this administration not giving them everything that they need. Where are they going to bunker down? Where are they going to get provisions? Putting them in that kind of way is so risky.”

This administration, from Cankles on down, is woefully inept at leading, and will end up getting more Americans killed and for what? Money? Ego? The drunken leanings of a Fox News pundit?

Billy Porter, out actor and activist , protesting at the Kennedy Center and warning that Cankles cultural agenda is threatening creative independence:

“Authoritarian governments go after the arts first because the arts have the power to reach inside of people and change the molecular structure from the inside out. As a Black gay out artist, I caught the wave of what we now know as performative wokeness and I crashed through glass ceilings that were concrete. And I have noticed the opportunities slowly drying up for the work that I do. The Midwest CBS shows and the cop shows… all of that stuff still exists but when it’s time to talk about heart, when it’s time to talk about connection, when it’s time to talk about people that don’t look like everybody else… there’s not a lot of that work going on right now. People feel safer when we come out, and we speak. They feel like, ‘OK, maybe I can give something of myself and join… and not feel alone.’ This is not the normal resistance. We have to redefine what going high looks like in this new world order. We have a government who does not follow the rules.”

The arts are where we see the world, and see ourselves, and if we allow the government to control and shape the arts, millions of voices will be silenced and you will only hear and see what the regime wants for you.

James Carville, on the future of Cankles as he sees it:

“Listen up, [Cankles]. I’m gonna tell your fat fucking ass something. You’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don’t know, because they haven’t really told you. You’re gonna know what it feels like to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. You know who’s gonna turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators. There may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now the House is gonna vote to impeach you. You’re gonna be impeached in 2027. These senators can’t stand you. These Republican senators, they can’t stand you. They have to be there because of their politics, back in their states, but it’s gonna be apparent to them that you’re a loser. You’re a losing fucking bet. We refer to it as a come-to-Jesus moment. You’re gonna assess where you are, even through your cloudy, stupid, fat-addled brain, you’re gonna figure out, ‘I gotta get the hell out of here.’ You’re going to cut a deal and you’re gonna resign. [Vance] is going to pardon you. He’s got to pardon a lot of other people, but he’s a creepy, ambitious little twerp. He’ll do whatever he can to get into the White House. But they can’t pardon you for state crimes. They can’t pardon you in the International Criminal Court.”

Oh James, please be right, dear goddess please be right. I mean, I know he’ll run, but we can still punish him by freezing his assets and making sure he never ever comes on American soil ever again … not even to be buried on the 15th green at one of his punk-ass golf courses.
