Shenna Bellows FT. Sid the Cat
Shenna Bellows ft. Sid the Cat — What This Moment Actually Shows:
If you’re just finding this video, here’s what you need to know. This isn’t about a cat. This isn’t about jokes. And this isn’t about political theater for clicks. This is about public accountability, transparency, and what happens when words and actions stop lining up—right in front of everyone. All of the posts and receipts I reference are linked below so you can see them yourself.
[Context – where this started]
A few days ago, I attended a Maine Legislature Government Oversight Committee meeting in person. I didn’t attend as a pundit or influencer—I attended as a 100% disabled veteran, a father, and a lifetime Mainer who has been separated from his children for nearly two years due to documented state misconduct. At that hearing, serious concerns were raised on the legislative record about a state agency. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows did not attend. A designee appeared instead. That matters—because oversight is where accountability is supposed to live. While I was physically present at that hearing, Secretary Bellows was actively posting campaign content on Facebook, speaking confidently about leadership and the future, including posts framed as if becoming governor is already inevitable. I documented that in real time. That post is linked below.
[The transparency question]
After that, I made a public, respectful request asking Secretary Bellows to engage transparently and answer a straightforward accountability question—out in the open, where the public could see it. That request went unanswered. No acknowledgment. No clarification. No engagement. [What happened next] Then came the next post—also linked below. Instead of answering questions about accountability, transparency, or oversight, Secretary Bellows posted a fundraising message, framed playfully, using her cat “Sid” as the voice—asking people to donate. This was the first public post since the transparency question. Let that sink in. Silence when asked to engage. Immediate visibility when asking for money.
[Why the cat matters (and why it’s not about the cat)]
To be clear: this isn’t an attack on humor, pets, or personality. The reason this moment matters is because it shows priorities in real time. When leadership claims: * “I listen to all Mainers” * “I stand for transparency” * “I’m here for the people” But then: * avoids direct public engagement * restricts who can comment * skips accountability forums * and reappears primarily to fundraise That contrast becomes the story. The cat didn’t create that contrast. The timing did.
[Why this matters beyond one person]
This isn’t just about Shenna Bellows. It’s about a pattern many people recognize: * Systems that speak loudly when it’s convenient * Institutions that go quiet when questions get hard * And real people—especially parents—left waiting while processes stall I’ve stayed civil. I’ve stayed factual. I’ve shown up. And I’m still waiting for answers—along with many other Mainers who don’t have platforms, audiences, or patience left to burn.
[Why this video exists]
This video exists so that if you stumbled onto this moment through a song title, a meme, or a post—you understand the full picture. Not spin. Not outrage. Just sequence, timing, and public record. Everything I’ve referenced is linked below: * the oversight hearing post * the transparency request * the fundraising post You don’t have to agree with me. But I do hope you’ll look.
[Closing – media-facing, public-facing]
I hope journalists, media outlets, and everyday Mainers are watching this unfold—not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s instructive. Accountability doesn’t always collapse in secret. Sometimes it erodes in plain sight. And when that happens, documenting it calmly and clearly becomes a public service. Thanks for watching. The links are below:

Fraud Around & Find Out
“Dear Maine, I’m Still Here (Ten Toes Down)”
This isn’t a diss track. It’s a record. Written by a father who didn’t disappear when things got hard. Performed by someone who stayed grounded when the system got loud. Delivered without yelling—because truth doesn’t need volume.
This song is about what happens when: Paperwork replaces people Silence becomes policy “Processing” costs children years of their lives And accountability keeps getting deferred It’s about staying clean, civil, and composed while doors close, emails stall, and time keeps moving anyway.
No threats. No dramatics. Just facts, patience, and ten toes planted firmly in the ground. “I’m not your enemy — I’m your mirror.”
This is for: Parents who were told to wait while their kids grew up without them Whistleblowers who spoke calmly and got stonewalled Anyone who chose restraint over retaliation Anyone who knows that records don’t forget, and clocks don’t lie If you’re real, this song invites you to step forward. If you’re not… the ending writes itself.
I’m still here. I’m here for my kids. And I’m not backing out. Lights fade fast. Truth sticks around.
🎧 Listen closely.

🕊️ Stay grounded.

“Red, White, and Bellow”
🎵 RED, WHITE, AND BELLOW 🎵
This song is a rally cry. Red, White, and Bellow is a politically charged satirical anthem born out of frustration, silence, and the growing disconnect between public image and lived reality. It’s not about party lines—it’s about power, accountability, and what happens when systems meant to protect people instead protect themselves.
Through sharp lyrics, symbolism, and unapologetic energy, this song challenges listeners to stop looking away. It speaks to the quiet harm caused by complacency, selective justice, and leadership that performs concern while real people pay the price. It asks a simple but uncomfortable question: What does patriotism mean if we ignore the people being crushed beneath the process?
This track is meant to resonate with those who feel unheard, unseen, or dismissed—and also with those who may not yet understand why so many people are angry, exhausted, and demanding change.
Satire has always been a powerful tool to tell truths that formal language can’t reach. Music cuts through defenses. It reaches emotion before ideology. That’s why this song exists.
🌲 Pine Tree State of Mind presents: Music Moves Me 🌲 Red, White, and Bellow is part of our new campaign, Music Moves Me—an initiative focused on using creativity, storytelling, and music as effective, efficient ways to voice lived experience. Our goal is to reach people who might otherwise tune out policy debates, legal language, or headlines—but who will feel something when truth is carried by rhythm, melody, and message.
Music has always been a catalyst for awareness, solidarity, and change. This campaign is about proving that art isn’t a distraction from justice—it’s often the doorway to it. If this song makes you uncomfortable, that’s intentional. If it makes you think, question, or talk—then it’s working. And if it helps even one person see what they couldn’t before, then it matters.
🎤 Listen.
🌲 Reflect.
🔥 Don’t look away.
Creativity is a voice. Music moves people.
“The Shenna Shake”
This song exists because sometimes the quietest rooms tell the loudest truths.
On December 17, 2025, I attended a Maine Legislature Government Oversight Committee hearing in person. The public showed up. The questions were serious. The record was being made. The Secretary of State—whose name appeared on the agenda—did not.
Instead, staff members sat in the room and absorbed difficult questioning on her behalf. As allegations were raised on the legislative record, accountability didn’t speak—it shifted. And while most of the room could only hear the words, I could see something else entirely. That moment—the contrast between power and presence, authority and avoidance, public duty and political ambition—is what gave birth to “The Shenna Shake.”
This song is not an accusation. It’s an observation. It’s satire. It’s documentation through rhythm. Political systems often rely on complexity, silence, and procedure to avoid scrutiny. Satire cuts through that. Music reaches people where transcripts don’t. Humor disarms. Rhythm repeats. And suddenly, accountability becomes impossible to ignore. I didn’t come into advocacy planning to make music like this.
I came here after showing up—again and again—while systems meant to protect transparency failed to meet the public halfway. When oversight hearings are quiet, and politics are loud, sometimes the only way to tell the truth is to make it catchy enough that people can’t look away.
So watch the footage. Read the record.Draw your own conclusions. This is what it looks like when civic engagement turns into art, when frustration turns into rhythm, and when silence turns into sound. Welcome to The Shenna Shake.

“The Light They Tried to Hide”
A truth-seeker walks the halls of corruption… and flips the lights on. This song is an anthem for every person who’s been silenced, dismissed, or buried under paperwork, lies, and closed-door decisions. It’s for the ones who kept standing when they were told to stand down. For the ones who exposed the shadows simply by refusing to give up.
“The Light They Tried to Hide” is a story of rising through retaliation, breaking through fear, and turning individual truth into a collective wildfire. It blends grit, poetry, and rebellion—calling out systems built on secrecy and celebrating the people who shine anyway.
🔥 Themes: • Speaking truth to power • Exposing corruption • Rising after retaliation • Community awakening • Light defeating the shadows 🎤 The Song: From shadow-filled hallways to trembling villains behind paperwork, this track follows a fighter armed not with weapons—but with honesty, resilience, and unwavering purpose. And as the song grows, that single light becomes a movement. A crowd. A nationwide wave. If you’ve ever been gaslit, lied about, or shut out for daring to tell the truth… If you’ve ever stood alone in the dark and kept moving anyway… This is your anthem.
✨ You are the light they tried to hide. And you’re not alone anymore.
“Truth Stands Tall”
This is more than a music video — this is a story about corruption, silence, and the power of one voice refusing to break. Inspired by real events in Maine, Truth Stands Tall follows a lone figure navigating fog-covered streets, locked rooms, shattered institutions, and the collapse of a corrupt system as truth finally breaks through.
From dropping his headset in the opening scene… to confronting towering symbols of corrupted power… to watching an entire government building explode into sunlight… this video captures the battle between lies and light in a way rarely shown on screen. At its core, the message is simple: You can hide behind titles. You can hide behind buildings. But the truth will outlast you.
Shot as a continuous cinematic journey, the film combines dark Maine visuals, symbolic storytelling, Sora-generated sequences, and a defiant original soundtrack to bring to life a fight many people know all too well: the fight to be heard when the system wants silence. If you’ve ever been pushed aside, ignored, or buried under someone else’s power — this video is for you.
