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.
