Buttigieg Demolishes Trump’s Ballroom Defense, Noem Protested, Racist Statues Turned Into Art, Vets Respond To Unlawful Arrest, and Mayor Johnson Calls Out Hate
The Resistance gains momentum
It’s Sunday and Trump is out of the country—which should give us all a sigh of relief. I’m happy to have more great news for you today. Let’s jump in.
A BETTER PURPOSE
Multiple decommissioned confederate statues have been transformed for an exhibit in Los Angeles, focusing on the horrid nature of racism in US history. One piece, featured above, repurposed the Stonewall Jackson statue from Charlottesville, VA, into a monument called “Unmanned Drone.”
The curator of the exhibit, who was inspired by the 2017 hate rallies in Charlottesville, describes the new statue as a “monument to the horror of American white supremacy.”
The infamous Robert E. Lee statue—melted down into bronze ingots in 2023—is also on display, as seen above. Of course, the same maga maniacs who have no issue with Trump’s demolition of the East Wing, are completely flipping out about this. It’s what hypocrites do.
VETS RESPOND TO STAR WARS ARREST
This week, we touched on a story about Sam O’Hara—who was wrongfully arrested by the regime for peacefully protesting earlier this year. Now, not only is O’Hara suing over the ordeal, but a group of Veterans aren’t taking kindly to the arrest either.
The Veterans, who have been relentlessly protesting in DC, said “challenge accepted,” and started following around members of the National Guard while blasting “The Imperial March” from Star Wars—just like O’Hara did.
NO TO NOEM
On Friday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem visited Fort Snelling in Minnesota, where she was “welcomed” by a large protest. Noem was there to hold a propaganda press conference, but folks weren’t having it.
Demonstrators led chants like: “No more Minnesota nice, we don’t want your fascist ICE!” While religious leaders led songs like “This Little Light Of Mine,” and shared words of inspiration.
As Noem lied and made up numbers about how well she’s doing, Bishop Craig Loya stated: “Diversity makes us stronger and there is no clearer moral imperative than standing with the immigrant and the outsider.”
NO ONE IS “ILLEGAL”
Yesterday, we told you about the Democrats’ shadow hearing in Chicago on the regime’s rampant immigration abuses. At a press conference following the hearing, Mayor Brandon Johnson set the record straight—when a reporter asked a question about “illegal aliens.”
Johnson responded: “We don’t have illegal aliens.” The reporter then tried to trip him up, saying: “That’s the legal term.” But Johnson fired back: “The legal term for my people were slaves, are we going to use that term too?”
“We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings,” Johnson said. “The last thing that I’m going to do is accept the type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”
BUTTIGIEG SLAMS THE BALLROOM
Pete Buttigieg slammed Trump hard over his vanity ballroom project, asking: “How in the world could you be focused on building a new ballroom—literally a gilded ballroom for fancy parties … when working Americans … disproportionately … who voted for you, are getting screwed by your health care policy?”
Calling out Trump’s lie that this monstrosity is being built for the people, Buttigieg said: “Most of the people who are getting these letters about their health care premiums are never going to be invited to dinner at the White House. He’s not there for them.”
Buttigieg is right. This gross ballroom is an abomination that will do no good for the American people, and whatever Trump says to the contrary is just another lie.

I have two questions for you today.
If you brought a sign to protest Kristi Noem, what would it say?
What do you think about repurposing confederate statues for anti-racism art exhibits?

To convince cowardly R’s in Congress to do their Constitutional duty & end this madness, their personal bottom line needs to hurt- this made Disney change its tune quickly.
How? MASSIVE boycotts of businesses supporting the regime (which most R’s own stock in). Shop small, cut back, save, donate.
