Facts: California is… - The 4th largest economy in the world - #1 in manufacturing - #1 in farming - #1 in new business starts. - #1 for tech and VC investments - #1 for Fortune 500 companies - #1 public higher education system Thank you, Governor Newsom
Damn he did all that by himself and found the time to torture the homeless for fun, and throw trans people under the bus, and make podcasts with someone calling people cockroaches just like the nazis did? What a workaholic.
What does he have to do with any of that?
California is a great country!!!
California is by far a better country than MAGA Hitler's USA...
👏👏💯💯💯
Facts: My Mom - Wiped my ass when I was a baby - #1 in keeping me fed - #1 in loving me - #1 in marrying my stepdad - #1 in growing venus flytraps - #1 in giving me her old Honda as a first car In summary, I am really amazing for doing all of those things. Please congratulate me. ME. GLAZE ME PLS
Get this braindead bootlicking dead end trash the fuck off my skyline
Trump Republican party youtube.com/shorts/N8I9O...
Oh my god
What were those stats before Newsome was governor?
He didnt do anything to make that possible.
He didnt try to destroy what others have built, like Cheeto is doing...
True but hes been status quo since 2011. Whats improved? Ill take Gavin over Elder or any GOP but lets not lie about how great he is.
Are you allowed to call him that?
Jealous much?
If you ignore the rights of trans people.
Can y'all like learn to have even basic empathy to people different from you and not defend the alledged "left" punching down on marginalized groups just because "other side is worse". The 1930s German left agreeing that "antisemitism isn't a big deal" heavily contributed to the holocaust.
If both sides are somewhat bad, but one side has basically promised to remove your ability to push for better, choose the side that still allows for improvement. Choosing to remove yourself from the politics, is just going to empower the oppressor.
Except, you know ... Homeless camps. Personally. With his own hands. While smiling about it and laughing.
He is supporting big tech e.g. his AI use, that is collaborating with trump
Is he calling for AI to be almost entirely unregulated?
He is giving material support to big tech and helping trump that way. AI doesn’t need to be regulated it needs to be banned completely with harsh penalties for anyone that develops it or uses it.
You cant, China, Russia and any other enemy will destroy us. Their is no moral high ground in diplomacy.
AI is already destroying us, they just need to sit back and enjoy the show!
Not yet, not even close. Iran, Russia and NKorea can cause chaos with just a hack, imagine the what if with the help of AI and you want the US to hold back?
How do you think an AI arms race is gonna go?
Agree, thats the real doomsday. But do you want to be like Ukraine and give up your weapons in return have empty promises of protection?
He literally had a photo op of him, personally, tearing up and trashing homeless people’s scant obsessions on this earth. He went on right wing podcasts and straight up said trans people, like me, didn’t have certain rights to be treated as equals. Resistance leaders don’t abandon the vulnerable.
I think we can all aim higher than 'Newsom: He Didn't Wreck California When Given The Chance'
The only thing Newsom stands for is himself. That you're unable to factor that in is a good explanation of why your country is so fucked. Don't settle for "better than", settle for "the right and decent person" and he ain't it.
Problem is WE dont get good candidates, we pick from the least bad.
indeed, when they refuse to get involved, other than to scream about how they "aren't good enough, so we don't support them" it tends to empower the bad ones. Picking the least bad, KEEPS THE WORSE ONES OUT OF POWER! We don't like it, but its a step up.
Spoiler, refusing to support "better than" is a big part of how we got the current cancer in WH. We can get better, but only if we still have a voice in the first place!
The facts don’t lie Bitches. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Newsom didn't do all that. That anti-trans and anti-homeless blue fascist may be great at mocking Trump the child rapist (Newsom won't talk about the fact that Trump raped children), but he's not fit for a federal election role. Stop worshipping corrupt assholes.
#1 in homelessness #1 in illegal immigration You forgot these….
That’s incorrect. Per capita, Hawaii has the highest homeless rate and Nevada has the highest rate of unauthorized immigrants.
What did newsom have to do with any of that? I’ll wait….
He props up the hair gel industry.
The favorite governor...EVER!!! And the most handsome.
Yawn
And I believe the #2 highest minimum wage after Washington State
It's a shame he's also #1 in Republican-like hatred of trans people. For a lot of folks, that tarnishes all the other things he's #1 for.
Thank you .. daddy! 🤣
The civilization scale is 1. You leave your keys in the car 2. You leave your car unlocked 3. You have to lock the car 4. You have to lock the car and hide any valuable 5. You can't leave anything in the car 6. You have to leave the car open or they'll smash the windows Where does California sit?
To be fair, Gavin Newsom hasn't made this happen, and it was already true before he became governor. PLEASE.
Love what hes doing with the states water rights, disability rights, healthcare for the undocumented population that California's entire economy depends on....
I'm confused. Wasn't it all those things before Newsome took over?
Maybe so, but Scott Baio won't act in California anymore, the cracks are starting to show.
#1 in Governers bullying homeless people by stealing their stuff #2 in bullshit rhetoric about evil trans children (but #1 is the UK, so it's still a notable score)
If he's gonna stand with fucking Charlie Kirk on trans issues, he can suck on my estrogenized cock. If he's the best we have, then we are well and truly fucked.
*shakes pitchfork and torch yelling in agreement*
Newsome stands with trump when it comes to trans rights, homeless rights, and union busting. Please do not give him a free pass just because he stood up to trump once and made some funny tweets.
The legislation he has signed says otherwise.
It's trash. Get over it. My city has over 100 homeless encampments full of trash, debris & rats. It's on the sidewalks, in the parks, raw sewage in protected water ways, junked cars... Billions of tax dollars have been given to help the homeless with no oversight is what I blame him for.
Insanely evil take on this. What in God's name?
No, that’s peoples lives. What’s trash is your heart. You’re a soulless scumbag who thinks political engagement starts and ends at voting. You’re lazy and lacking any sense of empathy and you trash on MAGA to feel better about the fact that you’re only slightly better than they are.
You self-righteous warriors amuse me with the name calling & self projections... Don't worry. I'm sure it was replaced with 10 times more trash by the next day...
I hope you lose your job, your health insurance, your car, your home, and your family and your life is reduced to “trash”… clearly that’s the only way you’ll learn empathy
I hope you get mental health counseling.
Coming from a literal psychopath who enjoys destroying homeless peoples lives because you view them as “trash”? That’s rich! What other “trash people” do you think don’t deserve rights? What’s the income point break where someone becomes a person and not “trash”
Friendly reminder that you are calling everyone white that didn't vote for who you wanted AND those who don't like Jeffries leadership racist. I explained why I don't like Jeffries, which pertains to his actions not his skin color. I'd lo love to see any number of women of color as minority leader.
Do you have some specific pro-trans, pro-homeless or pro-labour legislation examples that he championed, that you'd care to share? I can't recall any off the top of my head but am willing to admit I might have missed one or two while he was out on his right wing PR tour.
Don't be lazy. Look it up. It's easy.
You’re the one so confident in Newsome’s support for those issues. We’re telling you he doesn’t support those things, you assert he does. Defend your assertion or settle as a liar.
You're lazy & ignorant. I'm not. Go read something besides SM posts. I don't need to defend the facts. They are laws (that's what signed legislation means).
So then... You don't actually know which laws. Or that there actually are any laws. You're just making baseless claims to get people to shut up about his actually observable shitty behaviour and statements. Got it.
You're the one making the claim, go ahead and prove it.
He's out here gleefully throwing the possessions of homeless people into dumpsters for photo ops and going on podcasts agreeing with anti-trans horseshit talking points which would be a weird thing to do if he supported legislation intending to protect these groups, as you claim he has already done.
Let’s wait for a perfect person, right?
Pritzker has done more for his state, and isn't a raging trans phone who takes photo ops at destroyed homeless encampments.
"This guy is just like Trump" "Oh, so you want someone *perfect*?"
Every 4 years: Republicans: I’m going to shoot you in the arm Democrats: I’m going to shoot you in the leg. No, we’re totally different than the republicans, why do you hate progress? Of course we can’t not shoot anyone or the bullet lobbyists won’t be able to pay me kick backs to keep shooting!
You are why we have president trump
No, that would be Hillary Clinton… www.salon.com/2016/11/09/t...
He’s not just like Trump.
The man lies about minorities like it's going out of fashion. www.erininthemorning.com/p/newsoms-bi...
No, just someone who isn’t trash. How hard is it? Literally anyone who isn’t owned by the billionaires who own the majority of republicans and democrats. All we want is medicare for all, debt free pre-K through college, ending the forever wars and the police state.
Let's wait for someone good.
Trans rights?
I agree, and you’re absolutely right. Here’s a hard truth: I am so used to hearing trans hate, that it slides off of my shoulders, at this point. He’s an establishment democrat, and it sucks. Unfortunately, that’s where the bar is in this country, right now.
“heres the hard truth: we have to sacrifice marginalized people so that i stop hearing about their suffering” ask for more.
Must be nice to deflect the existential threat that trans people face every day from both parties, especially the party that’s suppose to be full of ally’s telling trans people to shut up because their lives aren’t worth it. Fuck the democrats.
Unfortunately, I cannot do that, because I am transitioning, too. Yeah, fuck the democrats. What’s your point?
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. Newsome stands where republicans stood 30 years ago. Participating in this system is giving consent for your own eradication.
How did you get from what I actually said, to that? Who the fuck are you, to tell someone like me that I consent to eradication? Please, enlighten my problematic ass.
By accepting and letting establishment democrats literally deny trans people the right to transition because it’s “the best we have right now”
I'm a listener into this conversation & have always been a Dem. I don't agree Dems favor what you say. Generally we favor letting people live as they desire while not limiting others.
Well, it’s a good thing that we can agree not to accept establishment democrats, huh? Because they’re pieces of shit, right? I don’t know if you’ve noticed recently, but the United States is kind of under authoritarian rule right now. Eat your shit burger. Sincerely: A tired transgender.
The us has been under authoritarian rule for 25 years, you’re just now noticing, it’s brought to you by democrats and republicans working together… because America has one political party: the billionaire party and they’ve made sure there is absolutely no political recourse to their goals.
No, it hasn't. This consolidation of power into the executive branch is new. The US has had a lot of problems, but corporations and billionaires having a disproportionate amount of power isn't the same thing as authoritarianism.
Just now noticing? You like to assume a lot, don’t you? Have you tried asking me about my values before talking? Yes, it’s the billionaire class vs the rest of us. Welcome to America.
Voting a more polite fascist like Newson wouldn't fix that either though. And that's assuming there even will be another non-mock election.
Also you do realize this is someone setting his priorities on fearmongering over "Trannies in sports" and HRT while the country is falling into authoritarianism?
Voting the lesser of two evils did nothing for trans people in the UK. Now every sucessful single political party there wants them dead and their rights erased instead of just the rightwing ones.
Can’t argue with that. “Mock election” is spot-on tbh.
That's not where the bar is. He's the first to introduce heavily transphobic rhetoric to the Democratic party. Before this was exclusive to Republicans.
That’s not true. Kamala Harris and other establishment Democrats have thrown many other minorities under the bus. It’s basically tradition, at this point.
Newsom is not to thank for this lmao
he's not going to fuck you.
What did he have to do with creating any of that? I totally respect the way he is fighting Trump. Leading Cali is like leading a large nation. But all of that was true before he was in office and all of it will be true after he leaves!
you're not supposed to deep throat the whole boot
Facts: this isn't because of Gavin Newsom
YOU GO, CALIFORNIA!
Secession would cripple america.. just a thought
You guys are embarrassing. It's like you decided the only way to win was to form your own cult.
Facts matter not at all to bozos.
Umm pretty sure Massachusetts would disagree with some of your #1’s
This entire list is basically stuff that the Silicon Valley tech boom, and California's farmers are 100% responsible for. Newsom has almost nothing to do with any of this existing.
All of this was well established and on track before Newsom became governor. 🙄 Imagine thinking Newsom had fuck all to do with the hundreds of years of agriculture in CA. bsky.app/profile/chee...
Plus, we have great weather! 🏖️
You’re telling me California is #1 in manufacturing in the world? Or in the country? Make it clear.
#1 in cost of living #1 in state taxes #1 in housing prices #1 in unhoused population #1 in unafforability
*reads all these posts* Holy hell and people wonder why no one takes Bluesky seriously. Ya'll need to step out into the real world and talk to actual human beings

Diverse, inspired, hardworking people. Jeezus gawd, let the whiners move to Texas.
Also Newsom. Being against support of genocide isn't being "nitpicky."
It was most of that before him and it'll be those after. So let's chill a little on deifying.
Facts: Newsom has... -Thrown trans folks under the bus on both his own, and other right-wing podcasts. -Personally clears homeless camps, while smiling for a photo op. -Vetoed protections for farm workers. -Vetoed a unanimously approved anti-discrimination bill Fuck you, Governor Patrick Bateman
As a Californian, I find it deeply offensive that you attribute any of this to him and not the countless hard working Californians that actually made these things possible. Shame on you.
And thank you Silicon Valley!
Embarrassing post lol
Thank you, farmers. Thank you, teachers. Thank you, working class.
You mean the farmers he vetoed protections for?
Newsom is bawse. i’m not even a californian, but that guy deserves the presidential nomination
But how much of that is the deed of fascism-enabling tech bros and their planet-destroying bs?
I would thank Arnold Schwarzenegger for that. 😉
They should stop paying for the other states. California should be free and independant. (it belongs to Mexico anyway)
now let’s see all of those rankings from before newsom became governor
California grows more in absolute quantity (especially perishable crops for the U.S. market). The Netherlands is more efficient and has higher-value exports, punching far above its size.
At one time all of Costco Strawberries came from California but not any more. The quality was variable .
Sure, The Netherlands are a great example. Check out their demographics and what percent of their population thinks Nazi's are okay and are Holocaust deniers. If they are your benchmark then Trump is moving the U.S. in the right direction.
Fox has to talk
#lovegavin
Red states mostly rank lower than third world nations
What metrics are you using to determine those rankings?
California would be doing this without Newsom. The truth is Newsom’s political life deserves to die after being willing to sacrifice so many people to his pursuit of power, and so many bootlicking cheerleaders like you are willing to sacrifice the same people
Newsom has terrible and bigoted opinions about trans people and he hates the homeless. He isn't the one. Fuck him. Run someone else.
If it’s #1 for those areas, how it comes it’s 4th economy globally ?
Hi greetings from Kevins a staff member of the HHFU Hidden Hunger Fighters Uganda. If you don't mind may I ask you some questions?
Haha maybe everything in #TX isn’t bigger. Can’t even beat France!! This will make for a lot of butthurt cowboys. www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-w...
I understand that the Democrats candidate landscape is very poor, and Newsom is among the few possibilities. But his management of the state deficit, the housing/homelessness crisis is jut bad. It will be a hard sell.
That's why they hate us!
Did the check clear yet?
I don't see my biggest "California is..." California, is in the forefront, fighting to uphold our Constitutional rights. (Join in Now, all other States, if you care about our Constitution, and it's rights.)
I should of married the first guy in 81! Boy did I screw up! But I wanted snow 😆

Newsom 2028
Most of that happened before and in some cases despite Newsom.
Not gonna vote for him but at least he is right about the trans problem
Gavin comes with the condition that we abandon the trans community and act cruelly towards the homeless. He's also an anti-union opportunist dickhead who dated Kimberly Gilfoyle.
The man is throwing our Trans kinfolk under the bus and using AI developed by trump collaborating Big Tech and you’re out here talking like he’s some champion for America
George Washington owned slaves.
And was trash for it. Not voting for his ass either.
I have news for you.
Newsome? Twinsies with Washington? 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞💀
Washington is dead. You can’t vote for him.
Praying for the best. 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Washington the slave owner?
He did it’s a reason the Nazis loved him
That has been argued by some. Not me. Washington's concerns were military, not ethnically motivated. Saying he supported genocide is taking it out of historical context. Now, the Spaniards? THEY practiced it. So there's certainly historical comparison. Did his policies enable it later? Arguably yes.
I support Newsome mocking Trump. Not everyone does.
I'll support and laugh about that, but that doesn't mean I'll back him politically. It's not leadership qualities. I laugh at comedy, even childish comedy.
Did someone ask you to support him politically?
Currently? Pretty much all True Blue Democrats.
How could you support him? He’s not running for office. Can you predict the future? Can you tell us who will win the World Series?
People are clamoring for him to run for president and saying that if he does we HAVE TO vote for him or we support fascism. It's all over the place, and it's disgusting. Typical "Vote blue no matter who" rhetoric. No one should be thinking of him as an option to run for president.
And?
The trans stuff went too fat man
California based veteran owned made in USA manufacturer here! California made! Cheers to positive success!
Damn straight!
What a progressive conservative he is.
its called
Pretty great record with providing aid for the unhoused and homeless
Also, solid Ally to the LGBTQ
Thank you, Governor Newsom. I will vote yes on November 4.
#1 for homeless and drug addicts
Gavin Newsom has nothing to do with any of those stats.
Hollywood dropping off might bring you down a few pegs. People leaving en masse might bring down you a few pegs. Tech leaving your state when they realize your beaurocracy is bullshit might bring you down a few pegs. Thank you Gavin Newsom!
Not for much longer.... keep holding on to bits and pieces. Trump still has 3.5yrs left,brah
Germany, the 5th largest economy in the world Free higher education Universal health care High speed rail No homeless problem Screw you, Gov. Newsom
Most of the government also respects trans people here. Unlike Newson who straight up admitted we shouldn't have equal rights to other people. "No homeless problem" is not true regarding Germany though. Though yet we didn't have a gov candidate vandalize a homeless camp, unlike Newson.
DA "Germany is currently experiencing a severe economic downturn, characterized by a prolonged recession since 2023...". apnews.com/article/germ...
Why bring up the economy when they're talking about public goods and care? And posting an article that most countries had written about them at the time? Forget the global downturn because of Covid? LMFAO. I want public goods and people not to suffer, Not for rich assholes to take more of our money
He was bragging about Germany's economy. Did any of you graduate high school? The safety nets don't pay for themselves. "Free" money & goods aren't actually free. You do understand that, right?
Lol. Ok stupid.
The last thing I need is an American mansplaining to me how my country's welfare system works.
We know that its paid by our taxes, its not like this is a massive mystery our government is trying to hide from us.
Did they go down in the rankings? No? Then shut up. It's irrelevant. Their economy might shrink, but it doesn't change the fact that they invest in people more than the US does. They have healthcare and high speed rail. We have ICE.
"bUt dId yOu kNoW tHaT ThInGs FrEe At tHe PoInT oF SeRvIcE ArEnT rEaLlY FrEe?" But did WE finish highschool? Lmfao
No they're not 'free' they are paid with our tax, the difference is America pays a hundred times more than we do for the same or lesser service Also if you are disabled, on a pension or unemployed the services like healthcare are literally free I finished high school and college too 🤣
Recessions are not "irrelevant". California invests in its people & those of other states as well. You shut up! 😭😭
No one is saying recessions are irrelevant, period. Did you finish high school?
0.3% ... Severe economic downturn. ... yeaaahhhh .... Also, they had 0.3% growth in the first quarter. Sooo ...... You had a point?
No, the top of your head will do.
Im not on team Newsom yet. It wasnt too long ago that he bent 5he knee at Marilago.
Completely out of the filmmaking business thanks to the studios being allowed to continue to take advantage of their low tax status while shipping ALL the work overseas!
yet all your governor is doing to let homeless people suffer and die, banning their encampments and destroying them himself personally.
please stand firm!
The United States of California. Stop sending the Fed Govt your tax dollars until the 🍊🌮 is removed.
If the rest of America doesn’t want you, you’re welcome to join Canada.
Higher education is subsidized by the huge number of Communist China students attending. California has the largest number of K-12 students in U.S., it ranks low for high school graduation rates, with 84.4% compared to a national average of 90.3% in 2021 and is 37th in pre-K-12 quality as of 2025.
we can take these one at a time but overall, look at trends. For example, manufacturing, Texas manufactures more product with less companies that California.
Gavin is not responsible for any of this
That was before the anti-trans bigot gavin showed up on the scene.
bsky.app/profile/thee...
Newsome’s transphobia sucks. But, it’s better than what we have. Remember in 2015 when gay marriage became nationwide, and every queer from here to California said, “Stay in the closet if you’re trans. It’s not your turn, yet.” I remember.
I have never understood the California backlash. Yeah, the traffic sucks ass in major cities (read: literally every major city). But the people who blindly “hate California” have never lived, much less visited, one of the largest economical superpowers in the United States and the world.
how did Newsom cause any of this lmfao
For those who don’t live in California, we weren’t some underdog in these rankings before Newsom. For years we were the world’s 5th largest economy, we’ve been #1 in farming for decades, he’s *weakened* our higher ed, etc. Y’all, our success mostly wasnt “due to Gavin”; other Californians did this.
Time to start your own country??
California has spent decades trying (and failing) to build an HSR system. The HSR failure predates Newsom and will postdate him as well. Did I mention that California ranks near or at the bottom on standardized tests (NAEP)?
actually a lot of that was walt disney
california is the envy of the world
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
if not ca then who? best economy in the most important industries
China, obv. They're doing incredible work for the quality of life of their people.
Not with American Keir Starmer as governor, it isn't.
California should become its own country. Oregon and Washington should join them.
Purestrain Dem loser shit lmao
Gavin Newsom inherited that, just like the rest of his generational wealth. 🤷♂️
Might be an idea to wave this under Trumps nose, along with the suggestion of ceding from the Union I wonder what his response would be?
Without supporting trans rights, He'll NEVER be president!
👍
Newsom didn't do any of that you fucking doorknob He's just stepping in to undo it
I rarely use the word, but this is fucking cringe. Newsom's two best qualities are that he annoys Trump and that he isn't an actual full blown Nazi. He's a transphobic piece of shit who criminalized homelessness. He's just a slightly more charismatic status quo corporate fuckhead.
LoL
#Trump takes much credit for America’s worldwide greatness. Governor Newsom Please remind “Trump” that most of what he is proud of originated in California, and not in Texas or some other Republican stronghold! Just in case, for all to know!
#1 in certain categories don’t necessarily means it’s better. It just means they prefer quantity over quality. I can tell you right now that any other place grows better things than California.
Texas is #1 in fascist, moronic Republican politicians so there.
