💪👍
Democratic leadership needs to see this poll at >95% before they'll dip their toe in the water.
You’re up Gov. Hochul
The biggest mistake Democrats can make now, is not uniting behind him because of disagreements with the person. Just support the movement now.
@colorado.gov
@govevers.wisconsin.gov
I am lucky to be in California. Newsom hasn't always been my fav, but I stan this 1000%. But, seriously. WHERE are the other Dem Governors?????
Deciding if they have a spine or not
2 Palantir, AECOM, FICO, SpaceX, and Oracle. A Hoover Institution report found that 74 corporate headquarters left California in the first half of 2021 alone, many citing affordability concerns. EXACTLY WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE

Time for action Governors! There’s already an action plan in play! @governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ny.gov @govandybeshear.bsky.social @govevers.wisconsin.gov @govmlg.bsky.social @mattmeyerde.bsky.social @colorado.gov @governor.pa.gov
And Senators, and Members of Congress, and all elected statewide officials. Where are you??? Why don't we hear you, see you?
dear Media... It is your Job... bsky.app/profile/ogre...
Hot take: gerrymandering is bad no matter who is doing it.
No more Republicans!
The blue states with the greatest immediate potential to create additional Democratic districts via redistricting are California, New York, Illinois, and Maryland.
All blue states should do the same. Especially NY, Illinois, California. They could completely nullify these small states gerrymandering.
100% Follow CA lead. Do it.
LET'S.FUCKING.GO!!!
bsky.app/profile/019-...
Yes. Where the F are the other Governors?
This is leadership!
Josh Shapiro, you need to start. . .
CA-we know you’re smart people! Don’t count on any poll, get out there at vote to save the USA 11.4.2025. misinformation is already being spread to try to get ppl to vote against this! Please talk to your friends and family - many ppl blissfully unaware of how bad things really are. Thank you. 💙💙
In all of America, only 1 DEM leader has stepped up to take Drumf on....1?? At this point I don't even blame the REP for what they're doing, I blame the DEMs for sitting on their hands and letting it all happen! If not now, when will they act (rhetorical, I know DEMs don't take action or challenges)
Agree 💯
Fight this orange 🍊 mafia
Raising tons of money too (millions) ! Going to redistricting efforts too!
And stop sending money to DC!
I already got a anti-redistricting flyer in the mail. Screw that, we're fighting. None of this Marquess of Queensberry rules fighting while the other side is shooting with guns.
I agree. What are y’all doing ?
💯💯💯
I cannot *wait* to vote for this. I’m telling all my less politically obsessed peeps to vote for it, too. CA will not be ruled by an imitation orange-flavored fascist.
Thank you!!💙💙
I’m beginning to hate my party!
Trump’s promised executive order is a declaration of war against the American people! This is the line. This is the moment. Governors must defy. Every patriot, every progressive, every independent, every honest conservative Democracy only survives if we defend it.
FIGHT for our Democracy!! It’s is worth saving!! We The People elected you to do this- to fight for our rights, your rights. Get off your bloomin’ ass and FIGHT!!!
Power to people,NOT corrupt, traitor Trump, controlled by fascists,white supremacists,evil puppeteers at 'Federalist Society'+'Heritage Foundation', Trump's mercenary Frankenstein attacking democracy to create fascist,racist,misogynistic, totalitarian Christian world prioritizing slavery+white men.
This 💯 💙
Yeah, but every state can't. Many states have laws to prohibit this kind of stuff. Generally with good reason. These are different times. I just need everyone to WAKE UP and get their froggy legs out of the boiling water.
They don’t need to see anything. They need to grow a spine and/or a pair of working balls.
Unleash All Epstein Files Don't be a Fascist
@governorferguson.bsky.social let's go!
Elected Democrat does something good? (Everyday event): “Why isn’t every Dem doing this?!” Elected Dem does something bad (rare): “So typical Dems!” Elected GOP does something bad: “Why didn’t Dems stop him?!” Y’all sound like irresponsible teens whining about their good but imperfect parents.

They didn’t ask me but I totally support Newsom in this.
Shout out to Camille Zapata, digital director for Gov Gavin Newsom. She & her team are KILLING IT right now! THIS is the energy we need. One can't negotiate with a bully. But what makes them CRUMBLE is being mocked, parodied, ridiculed. We must FIGHT fire with fire! Like Gov JB Pritzker said:
Whitmer isn’t going to show up for democracy, I think that’s clear. NY is a hell to the fucking yes!
Jared Polis needs to be pressured, Dems could net 3+ seats in Colorado.
I think he still thinks he’s getting some position within the administration. He hasn’t stood up against Trump at all, vocally
Let’s go Connecticut!
That lady does some fine work though!
Some say fighting fire with fire isn’t the way to go. Sometimes things need to be torn down and rebuilt to have any stability.
The winner will take the spoils for the foreseeable eternity. So they better wake up and fight. Alligator Alcatraz awaits the Blue State Governors.
Good. The Republicans have been gaming the system since 1875
Let's go! We need more blue states to step up.

A redistricting race to the bottom is a race Dems lose if we don't also drive up engagement and turnout And driving up turnout also negates all GOP redistricting schemes So maybe we put a little more effort into getting non-voters to vote instead of demanding Governors do something they can't
Americans for Newsome for Gitmo for his nursing home murders using WWII war crimes Nazi Aktion T4 Euthanized protocols on the California's most vulnerable. Shame on anyone Nero and his Urban renewal buddy Bass of LA.
Right now @c-span LIVE... CAL Senate debate whether to send new Redistricting Amend to voters in Nov. GOP Senator Valladares intro'd an Amendment to the Dem Redistricting Amendment 🔽 Any CAL Senator that votes to send Redistricting to voters be BARRED FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE FOR 10 YEARS!
Different state Constitutions vary re: Redistricting. Some may not allow it or require a new amendment, have laws in place or approval from their current legislatures or commissions. Timing for voters IF they must also approve redistricting-as in CAL-all before BEFORE 2026-may not meet requirements

Except Newsom and Pritzker, they may turn out to be weak (and/or corrupt) AF, like the majority of the party. Hope I’m wrong, but there’s clearly a pattern. #performancepolitics Ask Jeffries.
No to corporate D's, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Can we just get some real left-wing/progressives elected ALL over the place? The time is ripe for the Mamdani's & AOC's, the policies that are reminiscent of FDR, the last democratic president.
Democratic governors need to BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS OR GET OUT. These are not just “hard times” this is about the survival of our nation. This is NOT hyperbole.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov
I hear crickets from my New Jersey Governor and the Democratic nominee because it is an election year…
FIGHT!!!
@governorferguson.bsky.social, it's time.
I’m with Newsom. Democrats want fighters-not soft spoken gentleman & ladies getting rolled. As was said yesterday by another commentator on MSNBC, America is at war and the Republican Party is threatening our democracy, and we must fight back as the only party standing up for the constitution.
Support 100%. NY, Chicago etc.. follow suit.
Hilarious. Like California could be more gerrymandered
@tinakotek.bsky.social
Let's do NY next. Push every Republican out where we can
Never vote him
Exactly!!!!!
All Democratic elected officials, actually. I am extremely disappointed in all but a handful of members of the House and Senate-especially @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Churchill inspired a nation at war. Time for the Demcrats to do the same, or lose democracy.
Take more than 5 seats! Go on the offensive.
Figuratively speaking, nuke them politically.
Will anyone step up?
Great!😍😍😍
They may be doing more than you know behind the scenes.
I don't think Schwarzenegger is going to have the spoiler effect on this that some articles suggest. Yes, the independent commission came in under his tenure, and yes, he has gotten a new lease on celebrity life in recent years, but he is not generally respected in the state for his governorship.
Ametica's governors being out fought by a dude that looks like a used car salesman. 😂
Wow they are really impartial!!!
👍
But, But, But...the RULE BOOK says that we have to hide!!!
Half are afraid, the other half is too arrogant to follow somebody else’s lead. Dems are a pain in the ass.
Take all the seats. All of them.
I’m taking all my “amigas/os” to vote👍🏾 Go Newsom!
Well of course, pick up 5+ in Cali, 2+ in NY, 2+ in NJ, 2+ in Pennsylvania, pretty soon Trump will be in an orange suit, taking it up the ass from people pending deportation
NYcant do it until 2028
For sure?
Yes I heard it on NPR
California had to quickly change the law, Wish Hochul could orchestrate something too.
It's not as easy in blue states unfortunately, Democrats have made it so gerrymandering isn't easy to do, great for republicans but not for us in our blue states
Yes, DEM Governors wake up, draw some new maps, and troll the dump regime!!!!!
@joshshapiropa.bsky.social How about it? Fight. We need the help from you and the other Democratic governors. Thanks from this PA resident.
Not every Democratic Governor has the trifecta to introduce a ballot initiative or steamroll legislation through the state house. The time for everybody to wake up was 2016.
the guy who vilifies the unhoused and the lgbtq community in his own state? that's your role model?
Imagine if all democrats in DC started fighting like GCN is? Imagine if all democrat governors also joined the fight. Imagine that!!
That’s exactly what they need to do. GCM trolls, Trump starts talking because his ego has been wounded. Enough people make him talk, he’ll slip up or stroke out. Narcissism is the enemy.
Why aren’t they? Are they compromised?
It seems the whole of DC is compromised in one way or another.
I’ve always believed Gavin would make it.

@governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Democratic voters will remember their cowardice in the face of true fascism. Time for good, decent Dems to take over and kick the "moderates" to the curb.
Remember Shumer helped pass the Big Bill because he thought Democrat would be blamed for a shut down.... That's how these cowards think. Also I'm glad pollong number are better because last I looked 64% weren't on board.
They are running out of time, aren’t they? I bet the GOP is going to time it so the Dems aren’t able to respond
Whitmer is going to continue “making deals” and be sorely disappointed because the pedo in chief is a lying felon dickhead. And after filing for bankruptcy, disappointing women is what he does best.

KAMALA WON 2024 TRUMP IS NOW A KNOWN ELECTION RIGGER HIS ACTIONS IN TEXAS HAVE EXPOSED HIS UGLY ELECTION RIGGING NATURE WE WILL NOT WORK UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE
@govferguson.bsky.social
He is literally the only one doing a damn thing.
The world 🌐 is watching, we are looking for the SPIRIT of America to rise and prove the hype.......where is it?
Two things. One I love that his fighting to beat the 🐘 at their own game so they we have a better chance at winning the house or senate next year (both is too far fetched but who knows). Two however I am still against redistricting for political gains. We need laws to address this.
Dem Governors should remember two things: 1) Trump is very unpopular. 2) GOP policies are very unpopular. Rigging Texas and other red states to take away voters' voices in the next election will not be favorable. Actions taken and framed as a "fight" against those moves will have support.
Why is it bad when Texas does it but it’s ok when blue states do it?
Different state Constitutions vary re: Redistricting. Some may not allow it in time for '26 or require a new amendment, have laws in place or approval from their current legislatures or commissions. Timing for voters on redistricting (as in CA)-all before BEFORE 2026-also may be regulated.
Also with a big enough D wave, or even a 2018 one, the Texas double gerrymander may well backfire and cost the GOP seats they would have held had they not spread Rs around so much. On top of which, the new Texas maps are based on a repeat of Trump's 2024 vote share, a risky assumption for a midterm.
But...look what's happening now...yrump will have ice at all voting booths Kidnapping people GOP states will stop mail in voting So it's not about the people Have we fixed the voting machines yet? Hello.. No... so the same rigged voting machines will steal the elections
The Germans didn't see it until it was too late. Learn from history, don't make the same mistake. Once you lose your voting power, you lose your democracy and freedoms. Don't be a Nazi.
C'mon man its almost been 10 years since we found out polling isn't door knocking. This is a good move but he's gotta stay on top of this shit.
I’m in one of the California districts (CA-41) that desperately needs to be redrawn—my area is predominantly liberal, but a few years ago our district was gerrymandered and we now have a GOP rep (Ken Calvert) who covers a *massive* area and is totally useless. I welcome this redistricting effort!

Democrats on TV news said, "we can't just copy Newsom." WHY NOT? Different state, do the same or something different if you want! Just stop planning & procrastinating & start doing!! Tomorrow will be too late!!
I'm missing input from my Governor about this. I don't want to be left behind or forgotten. What do you say @governorwalz.mn.gov ? What are we doing? What's the plan?
They aren't gonna fight their on the side of the state
👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s time to just call this The Epstein Administration. And that will really fuck with him.
Yes, where are they?
Anyone know where Polis is?
Why do I love and hate this at the same time! Turn about is fair play, but the turn is unfair...
New word-PROTESTANATION. People have the power! Need to organize protest in the millions and shut the USA down completely. Enforce justice like they've never seen. It can be done! Or else... Time to take ownership of our Country!!! Trump must go!! Young organizers needed, where are you.Share/repost
@colorado.gov let’s go! What are we doing?!
Exactly
All blue states need to get busy and do the same!!!!!
The majority are as silent as church mice. Service is over. Wake tf up!
Hochul. Pritzker. Your move. Don’t wait for another Republican state to act first. Stop playing defense. Go on offense.
Truth!! It’s popular Dem Govs so do it!!
@govmlg.bsky.social
Hey @tinakotek.bsky.social are you listening? No more high road and no more waiting. Time to go on the offensive.
Government trifecta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...
Snap Crackle and Pops
And the other one is the guy they tried to hang during attempted coup.
Look at those assholes, all thumbs up like good little sycophants imitating their leader. Makes me sick.
Yup
The trifecta at the state level will place an upper limit on how many seats each party could capture in a gerrymandering war.
I can only believe that the lack of similar actions by other Dem governors signals their approval of Trump. I mean, if they’re not all in on this fight, then they must be compromised.
Every little bit of push back against the regime emboldens someone else to take a stand. And so it goes. Don't be afraid to say something or be a part of something. The resistance will grow as more and more people of good conscience join in and do something.
When the Supreme Court decided, the political gerrymandering was acceptable Democrats were outraged, and Republican saw an opportunity. We have to stop taking a moral high ground. It should matter, but it does not.
They should poll test secession.
They’re voting on it today. He will most likely sign it tomorrow. Fellow CA voters, you know what to do in November!
AmeN!
Every Democratic Governor should be following Gov Newsom's example. The people are tired and in need of fighters. Too many feel defeated or helpless. We need leadership to carry us through this whole mess and strongly worded letters ain't gonna cut it anymore. (not that they ever did)
The people have to be the fighters. Why should anyone fight to save a democracy the people have given up on?
Does anyone think Trump & MAGA will cede congressional power if they lose? I don't.
Ridicule works! Humour works! The guillotine also works!! Cough cough

@governorferguson.bsky.social
They need to be quick about it.
But Wajahat, there might be some Trump voter out there who might switch and vote for a center right dem, if they play their cards just right I mean it’s never happened, but goddam the DNC certainly acts like it might some day
Im not understanding all this...but who's going to come out on top, and when does this end ...if all states start doing this ? Wtf happened to the people votes 🗳?
Governor Polis of Colorado where are you?
This will be all for nothing if the don’t get their shit together now!
Not all D governors have the power to do what Newsom is doing. They don’t have D legislatures, they don’t have the power to put something up to a ballot initiative. Please help educate the public on what can and can’t be done and do not undermine Ds like Stein and Beshear and other D governors.
That's right. Pennsylvania is red with a Dem governor but a divided legislature. I don't think redistricting will fly here.
The 2 that need to pressured are Polis and Murphy. Colorado and NJ are the 2 states with dem trifectas and seats for the taking.
Maybe Michigan too?
Murphy is on his way out too, so I'd think he could get away with speaking out more, but I imagine he wants to stay friendly with hurricane season upon us
So fucked up we have to be "friendly" for disaster response.
Right?
I agree, it's so gross! I remember him posting some ty to the administration earlier this year, so I have 0 hope he's going to stand up now. Maybe Sherrill will surprise us if she gets elected
The key is that Sherrill has to get elected and NJ has its red areas and her election is not a sure thing. I say lay off Murphy for now because it is so important that Sherrill get elected. The governor’s race needs to be a high turn out election. I say this as a former NJ voter.
Trump admin still not delivering for western NC.
They also don't have 52 districts to play with. The hyping of this as a solution has me just...😶
The GOP knows they can goad Ds and D leaning people into shooting their own. We cannot fall for it. I think every D should say that they support independent redistricting and Ds voted for it when bills came up in Congress. No Rs did. So the emphasis should be on the Rs not on the Ds.
Sure, they’re all operating within different structures and may not have Newsom’s options. But how about some more support for Newsom? Why so quiet?
As a voter here in NC where we are gerrymandered out of the wazoo and trying to keep our legislature in check and ensure we elect a D senator in 2026, I am happy that we have Newsom doing his thing so that other D govs can focus on their jobs and getting new D govs, state legislators and AGs elected
I’m a NC voter as well. The gerrymandering here is insane. I’d like a statement from Stein re: redistricting mid-cycle, some support for what Newsom is doing.
I am all for Stein saying redistricting mid decade is ridiculous but I will not be disappointed if he says nothing. We have enough to worry about here. Emphasis should be on the crazy garbage going on here in NC.
I agree he has his hands full here.
More than full. We need all hands on deck to get @anitaearls.bsky.social and @roycoopernc.bsky.social elected. We also need to amplify what Josh Stein is doing as governor and what Jeff Jackson is doing as AG

Not fighting is synonymous with endorsement at this point. Never forget who fought and who didn’t.
Democrats should step down if they can’t do theirs job!
Exactly. Every blue state should start an avalanche of redistricting. Shock and awe. How can you expect us to fight when you won't?
Different state Constitutional have different timelines & requirements for redistricting.
And California has one of the most difficult to change. That is also why we feel the need to lead, not follow. I am not big on shouting at politicians to "DO Something!", but I do hope they all are and they gotta know we have their back.
These are people who think 'working across the aisle' with Mitch McConell was great bipartisanship. They're clueless career politicians. Its not like you can lose to Trump twice and then expect them to change.
This. It should be quick, big and impactful. Dems have got to get it together.
This is about elections. Elections are slow and doing them correctly matters more than a show of force. We want our rallies to be big and impactful to show we support the changes that politicians do slowly. It needs to be done before final filing for the primary and really not a day before.
Then all the Republicans states come out..then who wins in the end?
I do. The most fun part is that if you gerrymander what you have already gerrymandered, you have to cut the margins. So it is more dangerous for all those red states. If you gerrymander what was not previously, you can pack, instead of crack. Your margins are wider and more assured to win. I win!
