George Rohm

💪👍😂

He’s not a perfect human being but he’s a useful force right now. Hop on & let’s fight. Because at least he’s putting his neck out there.

I don't care if Newsom owned Trump I won't ever support someone who wants to throw queer people under the bus

Yeah, Newsom is a transphobic prick, though. (Just search "Shawn Ryan Gavin Newsom" on youtube)

This makes me proud to be California born, even if I can't live there anymore

Blasphemy? Seriously 😒 Trump was dressed up as a pope right after the pope died ! What do you call that? Blasphemy!

He's a transphobe, George. I'm looking forward to any potential hatemongers responding to me about what is MY LIFE and the lives of other trans people.

It's true. Newsom is a troll, not an ally.

Quit boosting transphobes and a man who went out of his way to stage a photo op of him smiling while he threw away the possessions of the most vulnerable people he could find.

I think it more like Anti Blasphemy or possible a MrNA vaccine for The Original Blasphemy variant we've come to know and loath so much.

I love the Newsom trolling of Trump. However, the image of the governor reminds me of Max Headroom.......

The hypocrisy is lost on them by ✋...............................................🤚

Trump is about as religious as this guy…

Beautiful dog - he has good spirits in him I bet!

His motto is “Banzaiiiiii!!!” He’s been engaging in his favorite ball-chasing activity, hence the tongue hanging out.

His trolling of Trump is fine, I don’t really care. But Newsome is a threat to every trans person in the country. You can’t fight fascism by also being a fascist.

Sociopathic, greedy, and bigoted people are apparently thin-skinned

i wish more of the democratic governors besides you and Pritzer had a spine

Why is Greasy Newscum pretending to be President Trump in these posts? Why does he not try to garner support by advertising his “accomplishments”, if any?

The one where trump and Jesus are walking with the caption “Together, they bring peace” is because Jesus is leading trump to hell. That will bring peace to the world!

Not sure if it will mean votes, but I like it!

the mirror crack'd.

Love it!

Newsom and his comms team are playing an absolute blinder, he's getting right underneath Donald's thin skin in the most perfect and hillarious way possible. We all get the joke, it seems MAGA morons don't! Such snow flakes🙄

So they’re criticizing themselves. They really are stupid. America will never learn.

Too bad Newsome is anti-trans

A note to the far left trolls attacking Newson: QUIT HUNTING THE UNICORN. There are no perfect people. Pressure for improvement but fucking quit holding on to past mistakes.

He might be a necessary evil, but he's no unicorn.

Reference to an older essay

Sometimes it pays to listen to the criticism of others.

If they want to kick it into a higher gear of snark, hire Wendy's social media manager.

We can start calling him Mr. President in 26. It just feels right 👍👍👍👍

Hey George, are you familiar with this quote? Is so try helping spread the word on what it means. "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by those whom they oppress" ~Frederick Douglas

Newsom is a despicable transphobe, but he does have access to some of the best people doing social media, obviously.

Praying for more gold.

As he's been showing all along, two can play at that game... 😂

Blasphemy? LOL. Who in fucking bible beating hell came up with that one?

😂

Governor Newsom isn't the man to support, he's just as destructive to people's lives as Trump is bsky.app/profile/illc...

1. Yeah he could get down on his knees but he couldn’t get up without help. Maybe that’s what the maggots mean

I thought would fucking know better than to support Newsom. The hell is wrong with you

He’s holding up a mirror and they’re offended by what they see. So they criticize the mirror. 🙄

Are they though? The only example the article gives is one guy on Twitter & one of the three people who's job it is to be professional over-reactors (Tomi Lohren, Trace Gallagher, and Dana Perino). The evidence of a large angry reaction, as far as I've seen, isn't there.

Also if you have any citations that prove otherwise, I would be very appreciative to read them.

Yep, that's about the sum of it 🤔

Nothing says "I know the end of the line is near" like waxing religious.

Trump has had more sacrilegious videos out there than could be counted. Many portraying him as Christ, even on a cross. They have no standing on sacrilege for certain, they are awash in it.

Where's MAGA outrage about this blasphemy mocking after Pope Francis died?

"It's not a cult!!"

Just because Trump is a full-blown Nazi doesn't mean that Gavin doesn't also support his own "lite" version of fascism.

Emulating Trump has MAGA just seething with anger Republicans just love pissing & moaning about everything under the sun

Call me crazy, but I'm not exactly thrilled at any of these anti-trans fuckwits using plagiarism software in their pissing contest.

If something is essential for a decent quality of life, it should be owned by all of us. If our governments won't do it, we'll do it ourselves. Support community-owned organisations 💚 go.bsky.app/4Bo2zum

Love this!

Glad the Governor is doing something - It only took 10+ years for someone of authority to figure this out!

The maga pearl clutching has me screaming. Their lack of self-awareness is painful, sometimes.

Melania will probably keep this on her pillow at night wishing she had a husband with muscles and a brain. Lol

This is a religious crusade against American citizens and all of humanity… The White GOP Christian Nationalists are racist mf’s

“Blasphemy” would mean they consider Trump sacred. Breaking the First Commandment.

Newosom is literally killing people with his ai pollution @georgetakei.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

polluting the drinking waters of several communities just to let your social media team make you look like some 2005 internet keyboard warrior is not "ripping trump apart", while Newsome literally joins the maga ranks himself @georgetakei.bsky.social. Don't you have any principles/standards?

calmatters.org/justice/2025...

Shame he hates trans folk and brutalises the homeless

Except for his stance on trans people.

Guys, you want your perfect candidate, you make them be active and pushy. Also right now you are in a situation of triage. The patient is bleeding, has heart attack and does not breathe, you may want to sort that before fixing the high cholesterol.

Turkey voting for thanksgiving

Anyone who would be more likely to vote for an anti-trans Democrat than a pro-trans one is already voting for the Republican. Newsom will always be definitionally too far left because he’s from California. There’s nothing to gain from pretending he can go far enough right to get the fascists back.

There are still swing voters. It’s not many but it’s enough to sway presidential races. They aren’t super comfortable with trans people - maybe not hateful to the point of wanting to throw them in camps but also not 100% to the point where they have no negative reaction.

This is less black and white than you want to think it is. Given his past actions I don’t believe his current stance is his real one - I think it’s aimed at those we know actually do swing their votes. There are voters that voted for Obama and/or Biden AND Trump. They do exist.

Are they more uncomfortable with me making my own healthcare decisions than with a president who rapes children? I’m not going anywhere, no matter what either party says. Everyone has to deal with that. Appeasing transphobes will only make them worse, and there are more important issues.

I am not going to work towards a world where people feel okay being less comfortable with me. Should we cave on race to appease the people who are just a bit uncomfortable around Black people? I am a nonnegotiable part of this world; President Newsom is not.

You may need allies who are less comfortable with you than you'd like, if you want to stop people who want to eradicate you. Or you can wait for perfection but then own it. Funny thing you mention the Black people. Slavery was ended by quite a lot of people who were racist as heck.

If this conversation is happening, I’m part of it. If it’s disadvantageous for trans people to point out that we care about our healthcare, then maybe spend less time talking about us. Changing the subject works well for the child rapist president, so maybe that should be the strategy we adopt.

There is a test case for human decency in every generation. In the 1930s, the test case was the Jews; in the 1960s, it was civil rights. Now it’s transgender rights.

Then you should have a good deep look at who formed coalitions with whom in each of these instances. It also kinda involved using enemy weapons against them and a lot of ethnic cleansing. The longer you wait for someone pure to fight while shunning effective weapons, the worse it will get.

I don’t think you read my posts. I don’t care if he is pure. I don’t care what he thinks. I care that he is willing to persecute a vulnerable group to get elected. There is no historical precedent where this ends well for anyone.

Finally, slavery was not ended by offering compromises on slavery. I don’t care what Gavin Newsom feels or thinks. I care about what he says he will do.

there's your problem slavery was not abolished - exemptions for "criminals" watching 13th by Ava DuVernay a few years back and it stuck how white liberals celebrate the abolition of slavery while living in a society that accepts mass incarceration, and then forced labour, of black people

Aware of this. But chattel slavery was ended. Jim Crow and sharecroppers was an early new form. Before ‘the war on drugs’. We have to oppose each new form as it comes along.

Lincoln was offering a compromise. Heck, even the Emancipation had a huge compromise right there leaving slavery in place for states that remained in Union until the end of war. You'd reject Lincoln, Grant et al and wait while complaining nobody does anything.

How is Gavin Newsom offering a compromise to transgender people?

Actually, when he was campaigning, Lincoln was understood to be an abolitionist. That’s one of the reasons the South seceded. In office, he was more pragmatic. are you trying to say that you think that Gavin Newsom will be the opposite? – will campaign as a pragmatist and be an idealist in office?

Separately, it’s not that I want people to be trans positive, but I’m not going to vote for anybody who cares in advance that this simple human right is something they are willing to sacrifice.

I am not in fact transgender. I am an ally. It’s quite funny that you assume that I must be trans if I take up a trans positive position.

It depends on what price you are willing to pay for power. In Germany in the 1920s there were many voters who were not comfortable with Jews. Some were probably swing voters as well. Would it have been okay for politicians from centre parties to sound like Hitler in order to get their votes?

You’re missing nuance in what he’s saying. I’ll fully admit saying what he’s said to Charlie Kirk isn’t okay. If he’s indeed trying to ride a line that’s not the way and not the place to miss it.

Exactly.

Shut the fuck up

I don’t want perfect. But if you think that you can revive him and he will sort out his diet when he’s come around you are deceiving yourself. If Newsom won’t be decent now he won’t be good enough later.

Newsom is not the patient. USA is. Just saying, with Trump going on soon y'all will wistfully remember when the topic was "sports". Sometimes you just need a drunk racist prick on board to defeat the Nazis.

Remind me of the historical moment when that worked out well.

The thing isn't "worked out well", but "worked out better than the alternative" But hey, your country. Wait for the paladin no matter how far the GOP backslides y'all in the meantime. But own the delays. Y'all already wasted almost a year to have someone consistently and loudly oppose Trump.

Nobody is stopping anyone else from coming in and doing more than Newsom is right at the moment. If you want to just sit back and wait for the better person to come along, you're welcome to the Trump dictatorship. BTW, the patient on its deathbed is not Newsom, it's American democracy.

Newsom plays the media game well, and I'm all for this redistricting fight. But please don't support him as a candidate. His cruelty to the homeless, enthusiasm for throwing trans people under the bus, and open courting of people like Charlie Kirk is a "lesser evil" only by Trump standards.

Because they think Trump is God

in order to blaspeme a religion needs to be offended, so where is the butthurt cult. *stares silently at some proud boys*

Remember the AI image of Trump dressed as a low-grade gilded pope?

Here you go. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Why has anybody placed him on a horse with no shirt like the other dictator from Russia?

It'll be out there, but I'm having breakfast and would like to keep it down, so won't be searching.

:) sorry, I exist in a different time-zone

All good, so does most of the world from my point of view.

:D

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Blasphemy definition: "the action or offence of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things" We know Trump thinks he is god ... but they are all fakes ... just like him ...

It’s George Takei praising a governor for a clever or effective move, likely in politics or public policy, showing public support for their actions.

Why are you supporting a transphobic, anti-union, anti-homeless, rich dipshit that is overtly chummy with alt-right Nazi podcasters and influencers? Newsom is objectively terrible, and the only reason he has the spotlight is because he's acting like Trump.
