How bad do you have to be to draw the ire of a children's songs writer?

If you're the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, the answer is "Exactly as bad as you are."


Raffi Cavoukian, a musician best known for children's songs like "Baby Beluga", "Bananaphone" and "Down by the Bay" has been an outspoken critic of the current administration.


And he has no plans to stop.






Cavoukian said in an interview with Fatherly:

"You know, I keep my voice in the public sphere to social media these days. I don't politicize my concerts and I don't even think of myself as an activist,"


"But, if you care about democracy, if you care about a free society, if you care about fair elections, how can you not get involved these days?"

The singer is very active on social media, especially Twitter, where he takes the time to criticize the current administration. Sometimes he's more subtle, but often he will say exactly what he feels.

And it's pretty great seeing someone take a stand.




Raffi, as the mononymous singer is known, was born in Egypt to Armenian parents. He emigrated to Canada in 1958. Throughout the 1970s, '80s, and '90s he became a very popular writer and performer of children's songs.

The entertainer has started his own funds and charities to promote the welfare of children. Raffi calls for a child's right to grow up without being commercially exploited and has turned down projects and contracts because of the exploitative nature behind the funding.

Think we could convince him to sing his tweets?





Raffi is not likely to stop any time soon. He feels it is in the country's best interest to resist this administration as much as possible. As he was quoted saying:

"You have to fight fascism with everything you've got."

In the meantime, you can also get into the holiday spirit with Raffi's Christmas album. Buy it here.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
