Look, I know most of you fucking hate Newsom. I'm not even going to say you shouldn't! It's not my job to police that feeling. But he's out there doing this shit and the fascists are literally sending their armed goons to his rally to try and intimidate him, that makes this easy.

Those here that hate Newsom must be closet MAGAs, or they feel so superior with their one effing issue that will not mind keeping us in these dangerous and tragic positions for 8 yrs, or are the ones that did not vote for Kamala because of some BS excuse. #Newsom is a great governor!

By the way, the great thing about Newsom is that he is NOT a coward, like Trump. When he decided to frame same sex marriage in SF, he went all for it until it was instituted. He did not care less about the stupidity some had to say about it. He has courage, like Whitmer and Beshear.

As a long-time Californian (I've also lived in NJ & NY), I'm proud that Gavin Newsom is setting himself up to be the #1 contender in 2028 -- by bringing the same pummeling, prize-fighter approach to Putin's Pedo Puppet that Biden began his campaign in April, 2019. Go, Gavin!

I don't hate him. I recognize he's flawed, but he's doing something only a small handful of other dems are doing, and that's going after trump with force and venom. It's not left vs. center. It's fighters vs. appeasers.

When I need to vomit hearing the whine voice, seeing the distorted face, and when I consider the volumous damages to our planet / innocent citizens...I am grateful for absolutely anyone changing the course of the fascism flood drowning democracy and right now it is Gavin Newsom, so needed by us all.

No … most of us don’t hate Newsom ! People may have problems with some of his policies and he should hear about it ! Right the hate comes from the conservative republicans in CA who would march CA right into the fascism of Trump and #Project2025

How Beautiful the Stars Are @seed-corn-thoughts.bsky.social

When the fascists aren't able to point the power of state violence at people, we can discuss how much he sucks and whether or not we should throw him to the wolves. But right now, he's out there, and I really do mean this, risking his life and freedom for the American People.

Cass @caveatofcass.bsky.social

I don't like him, but my personal distaste for my governor has nothing to do with whether he's doing something good here! (Which he is!) I also personally prefer giving him a "good job, dude" when he does stuff I like over screaming at him.

He's a weasel, but he's *our* weasel, dagnabbit. Or to put it differently, I don't think I'll ever *trust* him entirely, he's a little too politically flexible. But he's been on the side of angels more often than not, and he's stepping up to the moment in a big way. So, kudos.

We don’t need perfect; we need a fighter. We ought not compare #Newsom to our ideal presidential candidate; compare him only to the actual foe: Trump. His all-caps trolling can help us all remember that, and reinforce it with others. It’s ALL OF US versus Trump. #GavinNewsom is our bullhorn
