Newsom: Was that said by Erdoğan? Who was that said by? Was that some dictator? Some authoritarian from the history books? No—that was said by the president of the United States.

Arrested for what?

hot-tease-etsy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mike Johnson said in a press conference that Newsome should be tarred and feathered.

Sounds like something a southern racist would say.

steveln6.bsky.social•3 days ago

There’s not much for Newsom to do, but man it would say A LOT if he was out there on the front lines with the protests.

seafairinggypsy.bsky.social•3 days ago

At this point, they all should be. I’ll be attending all of them from here on.

✊ Keep pressure on Republican leaders & Supreme Court. No matter how much chaos is in the street, they are the only ones who have the power & responsibility to do something. #Resist

meredithcodes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes! Wish I could remember who said (I paraphrase): “We are the weather; politicians are the vane.” It’s so important to keep the pressure up, any way we can: calls, postcards, protests. No matter your situation, there’s probably a way you can fight. Rest when you need to. Recruit your friends!

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•2 days ago

🧐 I like that expression ✊

manwelldefyyah.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is utterly naive. The regime must be removed altogether. There won’t be any Republican heroes saving us from their leader. He crossed the rubicon already to dictatorship and only a coup will remove him. Stupid naïveté of democrats brought us to this point, bringing butter knives to a gunfight.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•3 days ago

Understand what I'm staying before passing your silly judgements. The clashes and violence will be ongoing either way. If you have a better solution state it.

manwelldefyyah.bsky.social•2 days ago

There is no solution on the horizon removing them from power to harm us. I don’t have any reason to believe that normal politics apply anymore since over the last 9 yrs nothing has availed. Dems are conspicuously compliant and every Repig collaborates. That leaves the People acting directly.

meredithcodes.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ll use what I want, tyvm: butter knife, pliers, lemon zester…you do you, tho

manwelldefyyah.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ok. Be careful with sharp edges though.

piesmom.bsky.social•3 days ago

Think how the rest of the world is laughing at our wannabe dictator, sending out multiple military units to 'fight' a couple of protesters. Unarmed, maybe slightly menacing. And when the real facts come out about how the violence wasn't the protesters, we will look like such a powerful nation.

shackletonsmom.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t think they’re laughing. In fact, I think they have seen this picture very clearly from the beginning. The whole world is very threatened by our decline. They’re not stupid, they know that. That’s why they’re moving on without us.🫩

Can we skip to 2028 when Trump is parading around Los Angeles with no intentions of leaving office, and the marines are rolling down Wilshire and the eyes of the world are on us for the Olympics, and the tension is thick because the city is ripe for a devastating domestic t3rrorist act.

Newsom is very good. Trump knows Gavin is the front runner for the nomination. He leads the 4th largest economy in the world. He’s articulate and punches throats. The GOP don’t have anyone on deck who can match Newsom. Trump’s only play is occupation. Newsom is already winning.

I hate to say it, but I'm calling the begining of the end. I said it first time round. From one state, it'll go to the entire country under martial law. Once he's got that power, you're gonna see immediate changes to all documents. With a deletion of the 2 term limit. He'll be your first lifer.
