I wanted to collect and share with you the quotes I’ve pulled from music, television or film since the election. These quotes represent my sentiments toward Donald Trump, and they represent my willingness and commitment to defend human rights, the environment and civil liberties.

But first…

A Brief Statement on Donald Trump

Donald Trump is being sworn in today as the forty-fifth President of the United States. It is a shameful and embarrassing moment for our country.

It is shameful when a man who questioned the citizenship and legitimacy of our first African-American president is elected. Trump has a history of documented racism – ask Mae Wiggins – a point underscored by his discussion of “inner cities” prior to his election.

It is shameful when a misogynistic man who’s bragged about sexual assault is elected to lead a country, and to influence policy affecting women. It is shameful for a man who claims to have great respect for women to objectify his own daughter, or to openly discuss his observations of other people’s nude daughters in his beauty pageants.

It is shameful when a man who mocked Serge Kovaleski, the reporter with a congenital joint condition, or ran alongside an anti-LGBT policymaker is elected. It is shameful when a man who proposed a “Muslim registry,” a border wall and the mass deportation of people living in America becomes her leader.

It is shameful when a presidential candidate calls for the assassination for his opponent, or when that candidate praises a foreign leader, that commits egregious human rights violations, over the American president.

My fellow Americans, these are shameful acts – and if you supported or cast your ballot for Donald J. Trump, you owe our country an apology.
