I Didn't Say It ...

Jean Smart, on the red carpet for the 2026 Golden Globes, about America this year:

“Everything’s kind of, a little bit overshadowed, with what's going on in our country. I feel like we’re kind of at a turning point in this country, and I hope people can keep their heads, because that’s actually, really, the hardest thing, I think, is to keep our heads. It’s going to take a lot of courage and a lot of restraint, but I think that’s important. I feel like there are certain entities that would like us to fight back and possibly… I don’t know, it’s very concerning.  I know that there are people who find it annoying when actors take opportunities like this to talk about social and political things. But I'm not here right now speaking as an actress, I'm just speaking as a citizen and a mom, and I hope people understand that. I’m not as optimistic about things these days, about the world these days, but I just hope the people realize how important what’s going on is right now … this is kind of a moment of reckoning, I think, in this country. And I just hope that people do the right thing, and I think almost everybody knows in their hearts what is the right thing. [I don’t] feel like my opinion matters more than anybody’s [but] I feel like if you feel strongly about something, and you have the chance to share your feelings or encourage people or cheer somebody on, you should do it … Let’s all do the right thing, and I think everybody in their hearts knows what the right thing is to do. So let’s do the right thing."

Could it be more simple: do the right thing.

Don’t shoot people in the face; don’t grab up,  detain or deport American citizens; don’t blindly follow orders from criminals.

Do. The. Right. Thing.

Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Democrat mayor, on the GOP ignoring the shooting in his city while taking him to task for his profanity:

“I’m so sorry if I offended their Disney princess ears, but here’s the thing: if we’re talking about what’s inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an f-bomb and on the other you have someone who killed someone else.”

Fuck off is one thing; calling a woman you just shot in the face a "fucking bitch" is quite another.

photo

David Frum, Canadian-American political commentator, on the shooting of Renee Good and Kristi Noem’s responsibility for it:

“In retrospect, probably a mistake to pout the safety of the American people in the charge of a woman who would personally kill her own dog, boast about it, then lie about it.”

Concise, yet cogent.

photo

Tim Miller, political commentator, writer and former political consultant, of the lies from the regime over the murder of Renee Nicole Good:

“I will not be fucking gaslit by these people. I will not tone down the rhetoric. Jonathan Ross murdered her. She talked to him calmly, said ‘Dude, I’m not mad.’ This is fucking insane. This is not a tough call. He orphaned her child and called her a ‘fucking bitch’ after he killed her. Do not let [Cankles] and JD Vance and Kristi Noem and these thugs try to convince you this is anything other than murder.”

Do not listen to them.

Renee wasn’t an agitator; Renee was leaving the scene; Renee was turning her vehicle away from Jonathan Ross when he fired three shots into her car, two of those threw her driver’s door window; he was not in danger, he was a tiny little man given a modicum of authority and took it to the wrong place.

He is a murderer..

photo

Seth Magaziner, Democrat representative for Rhode Island, on Kristi Noem trying to justify murder:

“Kristi Noem’s an idiot, right? Like, she went on TV before any of the facts were in. She made up this story on TV about ICE agents trying to dig their truck out of the snow or something, which was clearly false. Like she didn’t even realize that there was gonna be video of what happened when she went up and gave a false story. Everybody in the [Cankles Regime] lies, but she’s not even good at the lie, right? And we’ve seen that over and over again. So, you know, it would be ridiculous, it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad and tragic because actual people’s lives are being ruined and in some cases ended by the lawlessness of the administration. And, again, like, if they had just done what they said they would do and just focus on people with serious criminal records, no one would be complaining, but they can’t help themselves.”

When you give anyone with no soul, no heart, no conscience any kind of power you end up putting innocent people behind bars; you end up murdering innocent people.

Kristi Noem, Cankles, JD Vance and Jonathan are all complicit in the cold blooded murder of Renee Good.

photo

Zohran Mamdani, NYC Mayor, taking on the DogKiller and CitizenKiller and how he’s calling it a murder:

“That was the conclusion I came to just in watching that video and I think that many Americans came to that same conclusion. That ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis.  If that is following his training, then I think there are larger questions about the training that’s being provided to ICE agents. A 37-year-old woman was killed by an ICE agent. She leaves behind children. She leaves behind her family. She leaves behind an entire community in the city that will mourn her. And this is something that was entirely preventable. What many New Yorkers woke up with feeling today was a heightened sense of anxiety and fear as to whether they were safe in leaving their homes.”

Ross trained for a few hours before he was armed and sent into the streets; ill-equipped and unprepared for any situation.

He’s a murderer.

I Didn't Say It ... But Frst ...

Look what arrived at my doorstep this afternoon! I cannot wait to read San Geraldo’s story, as well as Mitch’s story, and their story … If you need me, I’ll be reading!

Tim Walz, Democrat Governor of Minnesota, has put the Minnesota National Guard on standby following an ICE gent’s murder of a woman in Minneapolis and has urged Minnesotans to remain peaceful while criticizing the Fascist Regime’s lies:

“We do not need any further help from the federal government. To [Cankles] and [DogKiller]: You‘ve done enough. I want Minnesotans to hear this from me: The desire to get out in the protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time, but it needs to be done safely. I feel your anger, I am angry. They want a show, we can't give it to them."

Stay strong, stay peaceful, and show this regime that we will stand against their fascist tactics and state sanctioned murder.

Resist with your voice and your vote!

Mark Kelly, Democrat Senator from Arizona,  forcefully rejected DUI hire Pete Hegseth’s censure over his “illegal orders” comments, calling it on Free Speech and on generations of service members who have earned their rank through sacrifice:

“Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head—all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. [But] Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or [Cankles] doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got—not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and [Cankles] don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.”

Mark Kelly is a hero; Hegseth is an adulterous drunk while Cankles is a draft-dodging rapist.

I stand with Kelly.

Chris Murphy, Democrat Senator from Connecticut, on the criminal White House and the attack on Venezuela:

“[Cankles] thinks he is above the law. He steals from taxpayers. He thumbs his nose at the law. And now he is starting an illegal war with Venezuela that American didn’t ask for and has nothing to do with our security. How does going to war in South America help regular Americans who are struggling? How does this do anything about drugs entering the US when Venezuela produces no fentanyl? What is the actual security threat to the United States? And what happens next in Venezuela? He cannot answer these questions—and that’s why there was no briefing to Congress to explain this action, and no briefing scheduled. And Maduro’s illegitimate election does not give the president the power to invade without Congressional approval, not does it create ma national security justification. That contention is laughable. This is about satisfying [his] vanity; making good on the long-standing neocon grudge against Maduro, enriching [Cankles’] oil industry backers and distracting voters from Epstein and rising costs.”

Did anyone ever think a morally bankrupt con artist would ever be elected president … twice?

Did anyone ever think that America would ever attack another country without cause, without Congressional approval, just for money?

We got the war because we elected a draft-dodging criminal.

photo

Pete Buttigieg, former Transportation Secretary and future President of the United States, speaking truth:

“It’s an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president—failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home—decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to ‘run’ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one. As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to ‘run’ Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?”

The country is in turmoil because of one man and hist goose-stepping group of lapdogs and sycophants and they want you to believe they can run another country?

photo

Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, on the invasion of Venezuela and the threats against other South American countries by a little dick-tater:

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out. They send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor for their oil.”

All to save a child raping predator from prison.

That’s the legacy of the GOP going forward.

photo

Jacob Frey, Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, where Renee Nicole Good was murdered by an inept, untrained, lunatic with a gun and a face mask:

“I have a message for ICE—get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. And now [Renee Nicole Good] is dead. That’s on you. It’s also on you to leave.”

We all knew this was going to happen at some point when you allow an inept, foolish, out of control Kristi Noem play sheriff and hire the untrained and uneducated dregs of society to go after anyone who doesn’t look white.

We all knew someone would die.

This is Kristi Noem’s fault, and Cankles, and the shooter, Jonathan Ross, needs to be arrested.

I Didn't Say It ...

Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Mayor, a voice of reason after the shooting in his town this week:

“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place of love for our kids. Kids died today. This needs to be about them. This needs to be wrapping our arms around these families with every bit of love that we can possibly show. And I know that our Minneapolis family and well beyond is prepared to do exactly that. And so, my message to everyone out there is, again, these families are experiencing some acute pain right now; but don’t just think of these as somebody else’s kids. Think of your own. Let’s make sure that we’re acting now to not just say it’s never happening again, but ensure it doesn’t.”

The right wants to paint the entire trans community based on the deeds of one man so let’s do that … think of all the white straight men who shot up schools and churches and stores and theaters and concert and start looking at the white men who shoot more often than any trans person.

Gavin Newsom, Democrat California Governor, on The Felon trying to steal the White House for a third term:

“You think people actually think this guy’s serious about having another election? You think he’s joking about 2028? I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election. He showed me a painting. He said, ‘Turn around.’ And I said, ‘Oh, there’s FDR.’ And I went, ‘Of course.’ And he goes, he said, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, ‘I know exactly what you mean.’ And then he went on and on about the third term. He has the largest private police force in the world. All that funding allows more resources for this private police force that increasingly is showing a tendency not to swear an oath to the Constitution, but to the president of the United States. And he’ll be sending them to voting booths and polling places all across this country. You’ve seen it. He tried to steal the last election. He’s trying to rig it in plain sight this time. He wants to get rid of vote-by-mail. He’s talking about eliminating voting machines he doesn’t like. He’s setting up the contours where he can declare a declaration of emergency for anything. ‘Just cause’ means whatever he just said on Truth Social. Wake up, everybody! Wake up! I know it’s impolite. ‘We have to be more calm and demure.’ But I’m not calm and I’m not going to submit myself to niceties, not when this guy has tried to wreck our goddamn country.”

This is why we stand up and shout; why we march every single time we’re asked; and why we vote.

If we stop doing any of this we’ll get The Felon again and have no one but ourselves to blame.

SHOUT!! MARCH!!! CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!!!

Maura Healey, Democrat Governor of Massachusetts, the first out lesbian governor in America, on signing the Shield Act 2.0 into law:

“Massachusetts will always be a state where patients can access high-quality health care and providers are able to do their jobs without government interference. From the moment Roe was overturned, we stepped up to pass strong protections for patients and providers, and with President [Cankles] and his allies continuing their assaults on health care, we’re taking those protections to the next level. No one is going to prevent the people of Massachusetts from getting the health care they need.”

Shield Act 2.0 further strengthens protections for patients and providers of reproductive healthcare, while explicitly mandating that abortions be performed when deemed medically necessary. The state's original shield law, enacted by Democratic Governor Charlie Baker in July 2022, prohibits states that have banned the life-saving treatment from punishing those who travel to Massachusetts to receive it by preventing the release of information or the arrest and extradition of someone based on another state's court orders.

The Resistance at work.

Demetre Daskalakis, doctor and now former CDC Chief,  resigning with a scathing letter for The Felon and RFK:

“I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health. Having to retrofit analyses and policy actions to match inadequately thought-out announcements in poorly scripted videos or page long X posts should not be how organizations responsible for the health of people should function. I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us at the CDC. Unvetted and conflicted outside organizations seem to be the sources HHS use over the gold standard science of CDC and other reputable sources. The Felon and RFK Jr's] desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults. Their base should be the people they serve, NOT a political voting bloc."

This isn’t just a resignation—it’s a heroic moral stand. Daskalakis—and let me go shallow for a moment because he is a hot gay bald man—is refusing to be complicit in a politicized dismantling of public health and so he is standing up for the American people in the face of The Felon and The Brain-Wormed Heroin Addict and their relentless attacks on science and sound medical advice.

And there’s more: Dr. Daskalakis's resignation follows the ousting of CDC Director Susan Monarez who had been in the job for weeks and fired after refusing to back RFK Jr.’s anti-science policies.

Bernie Sanders, changing his mind about scaling back campaign after heart attack:

“I misspoke the other day. I said a word I should not have said and media drives me a little bit nuts to make a big deal about it. We’re going to get back into the groove of a very vigorous campaign, I love doing rallies and I love doing town meetings.”

It sounds like Bernie realized that people think he’s too old for office.

Fact is, we know he’s too old.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, on Elizabeth Warren’s call for Facebook and other large tech companies to be broken up into smaller companies:

“You have someone like Elizabeth Warren who thinks that the right answer is to break up the companies … If she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge — and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge. And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight.”

Be clear, Zuckerberg, you’re fighting for your coins, not any kind of freedom.

Mark Ruffalo, on Ellen and her new BFF, George W Bush:

“Sorry, until George W. Bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the Iraq War, (including American-lead torture, Iraqi deaths & displacement, and the deep scars—emotional & otherwise—inflicted on our military that served his folly), we can’t even begin to talk about kindness.”

I’m kinda falling on Mark’s side. W did a lot of nasty things, and wasn’t just an anti-LGBTQ bigot who has yet to apologize for that, or the war crimes.

Rudy Giuliani, on Fox’s Laura Ingraham’s cavalcade of crazy this week, ranting about his master:

“Of course due process is necessary. Basic fairness. The American people, when they think about this are going to be totally outraged. They actually want to impeach him on the testimony of hidden witnesses who are behind a curtain, we don’t know who they are. I went back to read two books about the Salem witch trials.  They required witnesses to face the witch and some witches were acquitted — it’s ridiculous. You have to go back before the Magna Carta, the only place I think where we had trials like this is in the Soviet Union. That’s what the Democrats are trying to do. Remember how the president used to call this a witch hunt? This is now worse than a witch hunt. The witches had it better, in other words. They had more rights.”

Take a seat crazy, and let the meds kick in. Russia is suing your boss, and you, as an operative and traitor to your country, so spare us your indignation.

If you have nothing to hide, why you hiding?

Elton John, dishing on how Queen Elizabeth once slapped her nephew, Viscount Linley, when the young man wouldn’t watch his sister:

“When he [Linley] repeatedly tried to fob her off, the Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!'”

Elton says Linley then followed the Queen’s instructions.

Well, when you’ve been queen-slapped you have no other option!

Jacob Frey, Minneapolis mayor, smacking back at _____ for his attacks on the mayor:

“I’m not one that gets overly excited about Twitter back-and-forth. I wake up every single morning with not a lot of time on my hands because I’m doing things like filling potholes and making sure our city has enough affordable housing. I don’t have time with a city of 430,000 people to be tweeting garbage out, so it’s kind of surprising when the president of the United States, a country with 327 million people, has the time to do this himself, so I don’t know where the guy gets the time.”

Cuz he’s unhinged and not doing his job which is why … impeachment.

PS Mayor Jake is kinda cute.

Lizzo, singer, on loving yourself:

“I take self-love very seriously. And I take it seriously because when I was younger, I wanted to change everything about myself. I didn’t love who I was. And the reason I didn’t love who I was is because I was told I wasn’t lovable by the media, by [people at] school, by not seeing myself in beauty ads, by not seeing myself in television…by lack of representation. My self-hatred got so bad that I was fantasizing about being other people. But you can’t live your life trying to be somebody else. What’s the point?”

As Mama Ru so wisely says, ‘If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?’

Word.

Adam Kinzinger, GOP congressman, condemning _____ for quoting Pastor Robert Jeffress’ warning that impeachment might cause a Civil War:

“I have visited nations ravaged by civil war … I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant.”

Surprised, Adam? He’s been repugnant since that first day in _____ Tower where he called Mexicans murderers, rapists and drug dealers.

Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, blatantly obstructing the impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives.

“I’m concerned with aspects of the committee’s request that can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully and treat improperly the distinguished professionals of the Department of State. Let me be clear: I will not tolerate such tactics, and I will use all means at my disposal to prevent and expose any attempts to intimidate the dedicated professionals whom I am proud to lead and serve alongside at the Department of State.”

Let me get this queer, Mike. You think it’s bullying and intimidation to investigate the president because he, okay, ALLEGEDLY, bullied and intimidated the president of Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden?

Have I got that, you dimwitted, goose-stepping asshat?

PS Why’d you lie about not being in on “the Call” if there was nothing to it?

Lil Nas X, rapper, on the challenges of growing up as gay, and on anti-gay bullying:

“I knew [I was gay as a kid]. Especially around my teenage years, I was just like, you know, praying, praying, praying that it was like a phase. Yeah, go away. [But I’m treated differently than the average gay person] … ’cause, me being in this position, it’s easy for me, but, like, some little boy, ten miles from here, it’s not going to be good for him. I think [coming out is] gonna always help, you know it’s gonna. You still have a long way to go. … There’s still a lot to be done of course but I do believe it’s helping.”

It’s true, every person, especially those with some level of fame, who comes out, helps someone else come out because that person feels less alone, less different, less afraid.

Especially in the black community; especially in the rap community.

photo

Jeff Flake, telling Republicans they still have time to save their souls:

“Now for the easy decision. If the House decides against filing articles of impeachment, or the Senate fails to convict, Senate Republicans will have to decide whether, given what we now know about the president’s actions and behavior, to support his reelection. Obviously, the answer is no.”

Jeff still lives up to his last name, because instead of staying and standing up against this president, and maybe enabling other republicans to do the same, he turned and ran, and now speaks from the sidelines.

Take a seat, flake.

Jacob Frey, mayor of Minneapolis, on _____’s upcoming MAGA rally there:

“Under ordinary circumstances it would be an honor to welcome a sitting President of the United States to Minneapolis and to showcase all our city has to offer on the national stage. But these aren’t ordinary circumstances. Since taking office President _____’s actions have been reprehensible and his rhetoric has made it clear that he does not value the perspectives or rights of Minneapolis’ diverse communities. On October 19, our entire city will not stand behind the President, but behind the people and communities who continue to make our city—and this country—great. While there is no legal mechanism to prevent the President from visiting, his message of hate will never be welcome in Minneapolis.”

Word. Thank you, Mayor Frey.

Rami Malek, the villain in the new Bond film, on his “moment” with Daniel Craig on set:

“We had this scene that was a very complicated scene and we were rehearsing for it with our terrific director, Cary Fukunaga. And, we were sitting at a table over hours just batting about ideas back and forth. And we finally cracked this really challenging scene. And he grabbed me, picked me up—and I can’t tell if I initiated the next moment, if it was him or I—but, a kiss transpired between the two of us. And I’m gonna say that Daniel initiated it and I was very taken aback … I took a moment, caught my breath, and I looked out and said, ‘So, does this make me a Bond Girl?'”

I.Would.Have.Died.

Seriously; Daniel Craig kisses me? I would die.
