The spectacle of it all. Because that’s what we needed all along to defeat the Nazis. Ads.

Pure fire. Fight fire with fire. When they go five you go six, when they go 10 you go 11. We have to treat this like the philosophy of when they send one of yours to the hospital you send one of theirs to the morgue.

A-FUCKING-MEN!

Everybody tell Arnold to go away - he is not relevant - just an old cheating has been trying to get headlines - Newsom understands what needs to be done

Gov. Newsom you are ‘the bomb’. Go get em’ chew that suckers head off. Run for President!

Love it!

Will the Dems commit to require non-partisan committees to draw voting district lines if they win all a triumvirate? How long will our elections be manipulated and unfair for so many? Hopefully this kind of thing shows people how important voting is and could be used to drive turnout. #rankedchoice

Great Ad!

Newsome's a transphobe who hates poor people and supports Israel's genocide of Palestine. Next?

Next is N-e-w-s-o-m. 🧢

That reminds me. When's the next Democratic party state managed "No Kings but genocide's ok" parade being held? 🤡

That’s what your complaining about? We have a child rapist in the presidential office!!!! Who wants to build a Trump resort in Gaza!!!

☝️Definitely pre-ordered the book explaing how we possibly lost to him yet again.

I don't want *any* California Democrats in the White House. Keep Newsom over there. Trump learned how to throw all the homeless people in jail from him. We don't want him learning any more anti-poor strategies.

California democrats. Like NY Democrats, I tried real hard to envision just one that might be a yes and unsurprisingly came up empty. Zionists and pandering corporate whores to the last.

Damn, sucks that there are only two people who can possibly be presidential candidates. Sucks that there are exactly zero anti-genocide, pro-human, anti-pedophilia, pro-working class Denocrats. Can you imagine?

November 4th of this year or in 2028?

Newsom is not one of my favorite politicians but he's standing up and fighting. I want to see that all across the US with every Democrat. No more strongly worded letters. No more worries about decorum. Fuck Decorum. Fight Damn you! Newsom is standing up and I stand beside him for doing so!

Which is why I wish Newsom wasn't putting the redistricting up for a public vote. The point is to meet fire with fire. TX is just doing whatever Trump tells them to. CA can always vote about whether to keep the redistricting afterwards, but we can't take any risks about stopping GOP power grabs.

Well said. I completely concur. Besides it's nice to hear him finish coherent sentences and train of thought.

We absolutely need to level the playing field. We can’t let keep them controlling the house and the senate!! #removetheright

📎 #WakeUp 😲🤚 youtube.com/shorts/sD3ie...

YES!

Gov. Newsom speaks the truth. I just wish his ad could run on Fox News.

with a bit of hacking this could be done,. .

People who watch Faux News aren't the ones to reach. There's no reaching them, anyway. They're gone. We need to reach the kind of people who stayed home in November.

On second thought, I think you're right. Those people who stayed home last year might listen to Gov. Newsom. Thanks for an insightful reply, Dave.

No one who voted for Taco regrets their vote. They would do it again today. Taco will set their house on fire, cut their limbs and force them to eat the limbs, and they will STILL support him.

It's amazing how deep into the Trump cult the MAGAs are. You make a good point, Locksmith. I'm still hopeful the stay at home voters can be convinced to vote blue next year.

They got the catheter cowboy on Fox, they can do this too!

Can someone run it on X ??!!!!

And Truth Social!

Yes!

As Trump posts that he’s going to lead the end of mail in voting. What a corrupt piece of …

Yes!! Fuck yes!!!

And where are the rest of the democratic governors?

Have you been ignoring Pritzker? Hochul? Grisham?Mills?

Unfortunately the main stream media has been ignoring them

I’m not going to defend the media, but there are many ways to get information, and these leaders are fighting.WE shouldn’t ignore them.

Oh yeah.

Beautiful

Fuck trump

Thank God for Gavin Newsom. He is the only one really fighting tRump right now! Go Gavin Go!

Oh I feel like Newsom is running for president!! Yay 😀

I assume Gavin Newsom is running alright - Running to Run dirty dt & cronies Outta town, OUT of Office! Beyond that I'm happy to let him just take the message as far as possible with no more added pressure. If & when the time comes, if the energy is behind Him We'll know no

I’ve voted blue in every election since Kerry and no one on the left are going to vote for a transphobe who bullies homeless people.

Begging people to have better standards for their candidate than gavin newsom

WHO is Your Alternative government fighter with Power against dt Right NOW? Newsom has Not proclaimed he's running for president. No ONe has put him up for the position I'm a Bi Senior that has been Homeless, may soon be again, LGBT+ fighter before yr mama was born, Gay son Cousins

Lacking alternatives does not suddenly mean newsom is anything better than the bare minimum

Whalll There's an escape clause. Your chosen enemy should be mine bcz you say so? Eat Your spinach it's good for you & BCZ I SAID SO!

What the fuck are you yapping about?

Ooohh An intelligent response. I'm scared now....

I hope people listen this time.

More like this! 24 x 7 more like this!

The GQP hates Democracy because, at it's root, Democracy means rule by the people, and the GQP hates people... well, unless they have money. They love the money. The GQP know they can't win on their merits or on their policies, so they must cheat to stay in power.

Exactly!

Trump is a treasonous traitor, cheater, liar and pedo-file who has declared war on his own country and it's people! He has to go and so do every single one of those who stand with him! They all belong in jail for betraying our nation and we the people full stop! 🫸🛑

👍

He belongs in jail because he raped children. They belong in jail for condoning it.

Love this!

Trade ya

Every Blue State should do this.

And the purple ones too! Democrats in office are already being hamstrung and ridiculed everywhere. Might as well lean into it for some good.

But the context isn’t the same in all states. You couldn’t do this is in MN right now because our state house is split 50/50 and Dems have a one vote advantage in the Senate. Redistricting here goes through the legislature, so that’s not going to happen here. We should focus on

And by "do this" I assumed the person we are responding to meant launch an aggressive campaign on behalf of actual representation.

Right. And I was trying to point out that that process is going to look different in different states because of context. An aggressive redistricting campaign here wouldn’t change anything, but an aggressive Dem organizing campaign in rural areas that helps folks connect federal legislation with

Their lived experience could make a huge difference. So there is no one answer that fits every state. And Dems in each state should do the thing that makes the most sense for them. I guess what I’m saying is put your energy into the thing that will swing the pendulum where you are.

I was talking about Dems in office. They should absolutely be making noise in favor of their constituents everywhere, regardless of the opposition, because capitulating got us here. We need action to preserve what little we have left, not biding time. They are actively shutting down our future.

My point isn't that it's strategically viable, it's that Dems are currently ineffective EVERYWHERE, so they might as well make waves in support of Dems elsewhere. I would argue that playing to strategy instead of brazenly promoting actual policy that materially improves people's lives got us here.

Redistricting in states that can have real impact, and not waste time on places like MN where the fight isn’t worth the energy we’d expend. Also, MN has pretty logical federal districts. We didn’t create snake or salamander shaped districts in 2022.

#FightFireWithFire‼️

I’m not a fan of Newsom and some of the things he’s done and said, but in this case I think he’s doing the right thing. More Democratic leaders should be raising their voices and standing up for what is right. Democracy! Where are they?

📌

If you’re on other platforms please post this stellar ad there, since Gavin is our only hope to get our country back.

YouTube would be a great platform.

It's mid

Sooooo refreshing to see ALL that Awesome Gavin Newsom is saying/doing for America!! 👏💙👏💙👏

But he needs others to follow his lead - US is a big place, and as Kamala Harris has said, it just seems to have capitulated.

He needs to follow his own lead. For all his bluster, his disregard/hatred for homeless and trans people is no different from the current admin.

I know he's not popular with everyone, and certainly has faults, but he's better than Trump, or do you think Trump is good for US and the world? I dont think Ukraine & Gaza would support you in that thought.

"Better than Trump" is the bare minimum and shouldn't be lauded as anything else.

But its still preferable. If you wait for a 'perfect' president, you'll wait a long time.

Do not settle for the bare minimum, that's literally a big part of how the US got to this fucking state

So how do you envision we change this between now & the midterms or even between now and 2028?

A good start would be actually listening to criticism instead of attempting to shut it down with "But he's better than Trump!!!" every single time

It's just my comment, I'm not saying he's going to be the best available when the time comes. In a way, it doesn't concern me, as I'm not in California so I won't get to vote for him. I'm not even in US, so some people will say it's not my business. But it IS my planet, and Trump is trashing it.

He doesn't run til 2028 so I guess I'm not clear on what such grievances has to do with redistricting now? I mean besides shutting that down for ulterior motives 🤔

The other democratic Governors need to do the same thing, but they're not. Time is of the essence!

Whoa, gave me goosebumps.

Wow superb ✊🏼

You could take that ad and change 'America' for 'Dems'. It would still make sense.

🔥💥🔥💥👏🏽✊🏽

Thank you💜💜💜 please wake up.

How 'bout Newsom putting on some seminars for the Congressional Democrats on how to "man" up and fight?

His actions are the workshop

🐻Don’t fuck with California

It's been played on Fox all right! But to make fun of it. I especially like his tone deaf fighting fire with fire while his constituents are still recovering from fires his policies made worse. As for gerrymandered, Calif has 42% Republicans & less than 18% of California’s congress is Republican

So are you stupid or just a liar? Roughly 25% of the state congress is repub, and 23.90% of Californians are registered republicans. Even in the national election only 38% of repubs voted for trump. This is all easily googleable. What is wrong with you?

Even if it was correct, 38% does not equal 17.3% of congressional representation. Which just says gerrymandering.

And another lie! Lol. You just keep getting worse and worse with these. 25% is significantly higher than 17.3%, and 38% was the FEDERAL vote. The repub party only claims 23.9% membership in the state, they're hitting ABOVE their weight. Not everyone who voted for trump voted votes repub.

Sure

Yes, I am sure. You have such a casual relationship with the truth.. it's terrifying that brain dead people like you are allowed to make decisions for anyone. God damn cultists, man..

Hahahaha

I get it. Brain off, defensive humor on. Go for it. Prove that you're incapable of actually absorbing information even when it's spoon fed to you. I really wish you people and your daddy complex would just go to therapy instead of making it everyone else's problem.

You are the one obsessed with it. But go ahead and project some more. I find you humorous.

"Project some more", child.. it isn't projection when we have receipts. You're just parroting valid criticism of your positions in another vain attempt to shield your ignorance from the light of day.

40% to 48% of the vote in 2020 to 2024 went to Trump in California. What's wrong with you is you look only in a bubble of information

38.33%, 2024 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Un... Fucking liar.

THIS is what needs to happen across the board. The public needs to be shaken out of their apathy with some hard reality. A lot of people get it as demonstrated by the protests we’ve been seeing. Now the rest of us have to. Wake up!!!!!

Along with many women and teens.

My favorite line of the video.

the bear flag rebellion was a large-scale disenfranchisement of everyone but rich, white guys who took even more land from even more people without any recompense, again.

I choose the bear

I wonder if that's intentional referencing. 🤔 Familiar imagery in advertising, social psychology and all that. (This kind of thing fascinates me)

Newsome for president, defend democracy!

Good!

Gavin and Jasmine seem like the only dems fighting back

I may no longer live in California, the land I was born & raised in my blood & I love. But thank my lucky stars I was. California will attcack back with claws.

GREAT ad by Gov Gavin Newsom 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Vote to redistrict CA!

👍

@governor.ca.gov best be fighting for ALL of us in this. Seeing too many people say we need any dem and I want one that will stand up for all of us not just when it’s convenient. And not throwing anyone away bc it’s politically tolerated.

We need to go full on blue no matter who to eliminate treasonous traitor trump and undo all his evil actions. We can think about details in 2028

For those of us already being targeted by people like newsom: why?

Who's being targeted by Newsom? The protection of his constituents?

Trans people, homeless people, other minorities?

We can change his perspective. Especially when he realizes how many people support LGBTQ+, trans people, and recognize the homeless problem

People have been trying to do that re: homeless people for how long now, exactly? This isn't a new issue.

This Is great. Thank you governor Gavin.All governors should do these types of adds. They are powerful and they are needed in the fight against fascist dictatorship

It’s a really good ad.

Special Message for Trump... You woke up the Bear.

PROJECT 2026

We finally have someone who is willing to fight! Thank you, Gavin Newsom!!!! This is how we take our country back!!!! CALIFORNIANS, the country looks to you!!! PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THINK IF YOU VALUE DEMOCRACY & YOUR FREEDOM!!!

*THING… sorry.

The trouble is that in a redistricting race to the bottom the R’s win. They have more states to redistrict.

The ONLY way the U.S. holds together as a Nation is to vote EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN OUT OF OFFICE in the next two elections! And we better because fascism has evolved, technologically … We’ve all bought and paid for our own surveillance … and we are utterly dependent on those doing the ‘surveiling’

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪

Excellent ad. Where is the rest of the Democratic Party?

Great ad wonderful!!

Wake up!

All Democrats need to run ads on all media including X and Truth Social. Gotta get under the idiot’s skin.

I like the ad.

Newsom has staked his claim as dem nominee, now we wait...

The stupid dramatic music always ruins the point

They could wake up. But sadly, with all of trumps supporters, it's looking like 2nd Amendment time. Oh, waiting, all those guys support the taco. They waited too long. They watched their country drop to 4th world status.

Yup. No more sitting back while Republican conspirators in Congress Gerrymander the “red States”.

Right fucking On.

THIS ENERGY/URGENCY right here! Can we for the love of all that's holy get on the same page & agree this moment is FUCKING URGENT?! Thank you, Gov Newsom for bringing the 🔥. Thank you TX Dems who are fighting back! Shout out to Newsom's digital director Camille Zapata & team! ¡Viva la revolución!

Finally. We have our Fighter. Trump poked the bear.

Yes!

MACA - Make America California Awesome !!

The only one that seems to have a plan🤷‍♂️

If only it didn't come from him, but basically anybody else. Although it's not actually that strong of an ad anyway. I can't imagine this winning anybody over that doesn't already agree with it.

Next Presidential candidate.

Welcome the 2028 president of the USA !

I hope other big blue states join in this fight....and its going to be a fight.

It's the only response remaining to gut the power of this ghoulish GOP. I want all Dem states to do it; reassert the Rule of Law in Congress! Then impeach the pedo & his cabinet of treasonous traitors. In 2028 elect someone strong enough to lead & smart enough to help us inclusively rebuild better.

Newsom is currently "The One", but do not rule out Pritzker. A billionaire or not he is a calmer, yet strong voice, that may well appeal to more Americans. And the goal is to win.

We need leadership shouting and making waves in this moment, not whispering.

Pritzker is not whispering. Far from it.

The California Bear will maul him… The Russian Bear will devour him.. Smoky the Bear will burn him.. Fozzie Bear will go WACKA WACKA on his ass.. Yogi Bear will outsmart him because he’s ’smarter than the average president!’

About fucking time.

America will be gone if people do not get their heads out of their asses and vote blue

Wake up America 😢😢😢

Good for him.

He forgot to mention that Trump is a pedophile

Remember, our current prez slams our mail-in voting that works and is effective. Why? Because HE wants to load the voting system with fraud, and he CAN'T do that if you mail in your ballot! He feels he is above the rules. Let's prove him wrong in November!!

Excellent!!!

More of this please

Great job, BTC

I swear to god they hired the Wendy's girl.

#FireWithFire

Good luck America - you greater him, it's up to you to destroy him.

Remove Trump!

NO Sound.

He’ll be in prison before the next election. This isn’t politics, and it has not been for decades. Bless his heart though. Newsom

I've lost a lot of confidence in Americans over the past decade but it's never too late. Maybe ppl will wake up? Time will tell.

"This is a serious moment. Wake up!"

Democrats should do more for the working class and the poor, that's why Trumpstein's empty promises got him into the White Château de Versailles (formerly known as the White House).

Dems had plans to help the working class poor. Biden-Harris were prosecuting the grocery mobs and price fixing. The problem is, they didn't tell ANYONE about the policies helping everyday folks. They were doing cringe shit with Cheney and 100 Men on Zoom. They should have run on policy. Or primaried

The Dems do care about the poor, but since they must take the rich into account, they are extremely slow to get results good enough for people to notice. My point is we must eliminate the Electoral College and the rich

Are you kidding me? Dems had to compromise because they never had the presidency while at the same time control of house, senate, and Supreme Court like the orange taco and friends bought out. Mitch McConnell and his Citizens United act was the beginning of the end, be sure to look into that!

Dems had to share power with fascists because they fail to win the working class and the poor (50% of population, ignorant, mostly Republican [fascists]). The rich always win via empty promises and blaming Mexicans, communists, blacks, etc. Hitler did the same.

Very powerful

I’m proud of the honorable, compassionate and Constitution protecting U.S. citizens who are standing against the dishonorable acts of POTUS, Senate GOP, House GOP, a dishonorable, incompetent and corrupt executive branch and a corrupted SCOTUS. It will take years to restore the Republic, and we must

I'm with FDR.

I liked Obama but any speech mentioning ‘our creator’ is total cringe…wish it was possible for President to be openly atheist.

You don't believe in God fine doesn't affect my life or anyone else's at all. I have never heard President Obama claim to be an atheist. He has declared himself to be a Christian just as you have declared yourself to be an atheist. Why can't you give respect to others that you expect for yourself.

I never had a problem with Obama saying he’s a Christian, he mostly kept it to himself. The phrase ‘our creator’ I found troublesome but as someone pointed it out it’s a quotation. I do however have issues with evangelical leaders like GWB saying god told him to invade Iraq.

You better do some more research.

On what?

I can't fix stupid but YOU have all that power or you can just stay ignorant. You, yourself said you didn't learn. Now is a good time but if you like being ignorant, you do you.

Jeez, wind it down. Why the aggression?

That wasn't aggressive, this is aggressive. Get your head out of your ass and learn some shit instead of tasting it. That good for you?

Wow, what an awful person.

Truly awful! It must be horrible to feel so angry that you feel the need to lash out at perfect strangers.🤷🏼‍♀️

Lots!

Well that’s vague, arguably all of us should do more research, including you. What specifically are you objecting to?

And a rock has more sense than you, sadly. Good luck!

Awe he didn't like me being aggressive?

Nah, I just don’t like cunty attitudes, usually when I block people it’s temporary and it halts a shitty conversation. Not in your case it seems. Back in the bin for you.

And you're the idiot that came back. Can't fix stupid as I've stated. I've heard beating it with a stick is fun.

Oh dear, why have you resorted to insults? Thats for the other place.

Wasting your time with me when YOU could be reading about their constitution but NO. I'm game, I've got lots of facts for ignorant people that I like to use with colourful language.

I think you’d be more comfortable over on X. What an awful cunt.

That was a fact, not an insult. I'm insulting the rock!

He is quoting the first sentence of the U.S Declaration of Independence. You should have finished high school.

This isn't how you reply to someone obviously trying to stick up for the US. Many of us don't know your laws because we aren't American BUT we are here supporting and fighting along all of you, to get your rights back. So be nicer...

Thank you, absolutely correct. My comment was merely meant to highlight that US separation of church and state (not in the constitution btw) is a fallacy when every president declares his love for God, and one in particular weaponised his (false) love to convince dumb evangelicals to vote for him.

I personally wasn't referring to your comment, but that of someone that went at you with a sarcastic reply. :) We are all here trying our best to understand a human that shouldn't get another moment of our attention, yet we have no choice because he is trying to destroy the US.

I’m not American so it’s not something taught in our high schools. As a citizen of the world I still have the right to wish for a future where the leaders of powerful countries aren’t influenced by made-up sky fairies.

As they have the right to believe in God.

You come after my President, not knowing the context, and ignorance is your excuse.

Settle down…I haven’t ’come after’ anyone. 🙄

I mean I even said that I like Obama.

You’re right. Most Americans still believe the lies told to them, including Obama. And most people think the US won’t be blessed by “the Creator” unless Republicans rule over the country.

I completely agree. I don't care what you believe but keep your religion out of government and laws.

I'm not American either, nor am I Christian. But as an eclectic pagan where my spiritual beliefs are important to me, I think we need INCLUSIVE language...less of the 'Lord', 'He' and 'Creator', but also less of the 'sky fairies' talk too.

No need for ‘inclusive’ religious language in politics. The whole subject should be avoided by politics except to say people are free to practice their own faiths so long as they don’t harm others. spirituality should be a personal affair. It’s nobody else’s business what you personally believe.

Obama was literally saying "I BELIEVE...". He wasn't saying you have to believe. I live in Italy which is fully catholic but due to separation of church and state the kids can't even sing carols in the Christmas recital. But when politicians do refer to it, i'd like less of a Christian bias/focus.

The phrase was ‘our creator’ which suggests he’s making the decision for all that there is a creator deity. Of course, as pointed out to me, his statement was basically a quotation so I’m giving him a pass on that. I find it hard to believe that kids in Italy are not allowed to sing carols.

My kids are 9 and 11 and I've sat through enough dire recitals to vouch for the fact that they can't be overtly Christian. I think they managed to squeeze in Jingle bells once. But in the US Christianity is total bullshit seemingly used mainly to avoid tax and gun control laws.

I don’t think Jingle Bells has any religious connotations whatsoever.

Isolated cases perhaps, I doubt it’s government policy as you imply.

Not your call. People are allowed to believe and you are allowed to ignore. Is it really hurting your feelings or brain?

I’m not making a call, I’m expressing a wish.

Sorry it came across differently

No worries.

People can believe anything they want but once those beliefs become part of government it is forced on all. Hearing a world leader banging on about God disgusts me, especially when their belief is usually a lie just to curry favour with the masses, certainly in the case of the current president.

No one forced the belief on anyone. We are supposed to have separation of church and state here

Supposed to have separation, doesn’t seem to work in practice when you have a president bowing to the demands of evangelicals.

The moldy orange menace isn't a great example, but in the main government and church have stayed separate. Personal religious beliefs expressed from the founders forward have always existed, will exist. The Constitution says no official US religion, no government intrusion into religious beliefs.

True, but to a certain extent almost all presidents tend to pander to the rich, influential and vocal evangelists.

We got bigger fish to fry. Move along …

I take your point.

And I take yours.

I second the desire to have made up sky fairies out of public decision making. Requesting this does, in fact, support everyone's right to believe as they like. It would be very bad public policy that made laws that benefited religion. I mean, what if they chose the wrong religion?

I mean no one is forcing beliefs on anyone - believe what you want and don’t worry about the other guy. Except the pos and any laws/policies that truly affect your way of life

Trump is rolling back abortion rights and gay marriage rights because his base think it will make God angry. That is the very definition of one groups beliefs being forced on another.

I see your point. I’m devastated that there are so many stupid, ignorant, racist and immoral people, all belonging to the same cult, in this country (USA)

I am and agree with you. It is not appropriate for government and any religious belief system to mix. There are far too many religions to give power to one over the other. Religion does not belong in government. Freedom of & freedom from religion. It is in our Constitution.

People exist outside of the US

Lol. Fight fire with fire? Is that why your state is always burning? Shut up. No one likes you.

you seem upset. you can just come visit California you know. instead of letting your fake news channel scare you and feed you manufactured outrage, you could just go outside and travel and talk to actual human beings. it's fine here. it's not Thunderdome. it's a place people live like anywhere else.

No. They have absolutely terrible gun laws.

Idk, man. My dad owned hella guns and was happy to be here. Sounds like you have a skill issue.

Right on to that editor

A humiliating headline for others in the world to see. He should have been arrested as soon as his feet hit the tarmac.

It would, unfortunately, have been much more shocking if that had happened rather than what did actually happen. (Although the soldiers kneeling to roll out the red carpet was an image I hadn't necessarily anticipated. 🤮

It would have been more shocking, but not humiliating.

Well, I'm just saying the humiliation is in line with that of everything else he does in the eyes of the world. Perhaps I'm hardened--sadly!

Which one?

This is correct. A convicted war crimes criminal meeting a future convicted war crimes criminal.

Exactly! Wake up. Stay work. Join left organizations. Respond to reactionary narratives and lies. Make demands on the Dem party. Unions, get organized. Be prepared to strike. Disrupt businesses as usual. But do nothing alone. Organize.

Wake up!

Hillary Clinton 2.0

Please stop trying to shove Newsom down our throats. He is never going to be president. Fuck Newsom. Enjoy his little têt-a-têt with Abbot and then move the fuck on.

I know there's already presidential murmurings (because, of course there are) coming from all directions. ...but honestly, there are no clear contenders now. ANYONE with the right support and strategy could capture the whole show. Democrats are H-U-N-G-R-Y for someone worthy to get behind.

Bet he didn't "even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around"

He doesn't get one from pootie, probably has, never expected it, especially being a selfish lover, never able to pleasure anyone with his little mushroom

There absolutely are contenders. What are you talking about? Just because the MSM is rooting for Newsom doesn't mean you should ignore the people making waves. MSM does not like progressives and always favors the right-most contenders. Bernie/AOC have been rallying nonstop. NON. STOP.

I'm NOT saying there aren't people democrats like. While Bernie Sanders, who self-identifies as a democratic socialist, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have popularity, neither has the level needed to inspire enough lazy a-holes to get off the sofa to vote. NO (serious) democrat has... yet.

Remember the force President Obama inspired by bringing, what, to democrats...? HOPE!! If someone could tap into THAT energy now, they'd be able to make REAL change.

And we need to replace our current (cough,choke) leadership

Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I LOVE IT! It’s powerful!

Excellent

Political theater. LA is under attack. @governor.ca.gov is running his presidential campaign. How about jail cops attacking your constituents? How about jail judges who do not hold ice and cops accountable? How about doing something more than playing on twitter?

That would make his donors very upset, and then they wouldn't be able to install their blue republican in 2028

Governor Transphobe has too many homeless people’s birth certificates to burn to help LA right now.

That’s what your complaining about? We have a child rapist in the presidential office!!!! Who is arresting homeless people in DC as I type. Newsom is clear headed and with help will come up with a solution for homeless. And a transphobe he is not!

I don't see any republicans going to jail for anything.... just dark skin folks and poor. If gav and his great crew cannot keep republicans from attacking his constituents... who will? Spiderman? He works for disney.

Listen up, who do you got then? Who do you have going up against trump right now? No one?? Then shut your fkn trap.

This here. 100% @governor.ca.gov We have a ton of comedians out there making jokes. We need politicians to go after republicans on a rolling crime spree.

Do you think newsom will jail them? Actually do anything about them? Or will he just continue his transphobic, homeless-hating bullshit after this obvious ploy lmao

Hope Gavin runs for president in 2028.

If you want to understand Gavin Newsom, watch this. It's 2 hours (!) but worth it to get a sense of the real man who could, if democracy survives, be the next president. youtu.be/1NLoTuRR3hE?...

Washington D.C,. Is currently under siege! There is no reaction from the Democrats on Capitol Hill! 3 Red States are sending in more National Guard troops some could be ARMED! Where are the Democratic Voices of protest from Capitol Hill? We the People want to know why have they been so quiet!

The battle lines are being drawn.

👍💯💯

Is this airing nationally? I’m not currently in the States.

I’m ok with this.

We’re awake and we’re with you.

I choose the bear

💥💥💥

@chuckschumer.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Time to fight! Every City, every County and every State will fight to win. None will be left behind.

They are learning from 24 Yeah I already know trump is bad what do we do about it?! Vote to do this specific policy which will effect things. Having something to vote for is always more powerful then just having something to vote against.

Voting for this isn't saying you want Newsome for president - it is saying you don't want the GOP to steal more seats in congress. It's saying you want democratic, not fascist, people in charge. It's a big Fuck You to a moldy orange.

POKE THE BEAR!

Yeah. I still don’t want midterm redistricting. I see all kinds of negative ramifications from this, including voter confusion. Instead get every Democrat, independent, Green Party, etc., on-the-fence Republican to vote liberal.
