Gavin Newsom is asking trading partners to exclude California's products from retaliatory tariffs.
"California is not Washington, D.C."
"To our international partners: As the fifth largest economy in the world, the Golden State will remain a steady, reliable partner for generations to come."

If so, why not negotiate that in reverse for CA exports?
If you are just distributing products that are made or supplied by other states we wouldn't want them.

Every state needs to decide its future. I predict a bloodbath of a Balkanization.
Fuck you, Gavin Newsom.
Why does California think they can demand special treatment? How arrogant!
😫🙄
Mini MAGA?
Not sure anymore.
But if you are looking to move to the national stage the candidate has to be right.
He needs every Democrat to win.
Had a very hard time voting Dem but am committed to democracy and the republic.
Dems need to learn how to fight.
I don't believe y'all EVER change that mindset. To be a republican requires a certain type of ideology.
I will always vote for a Democrat in general elections. I may be strategic in the primaries.
Gavin pissed me off, but he's the guy right now.
I was talking about Gavin being the current governor of CA. I may not like what he has recently said, but he's our current defense against the Mad King.
But push whoever you want in the primary! And don't let anyone shame you for that!
And we continue to get screwed because of it.
There are more of us than them, but we can't get it together.

Does the state control Customs? Can they dictate to federal agents which ports of entry levy the tariffs and which don't?
Newsome is trying to regain his progressive image with nonsense.
Look, I hate to burst your bubble, but that WOULD start a shooting war.
They can set up all the necessary federal agencies and cabinets and departments with the people who trump has fired.
Just a new and improved USA.

Sorry. Good luck in 3.4 years.
I've completely lost any lingering respect I once had for him.

Those pushing separation want to break bonds of unity because splintered factions are easier to take down.
United we stand
Divided we fall
Not just a bumper sticker.
If you need an example…
…just take a look at the US’s current global position as it relates to our “allies” whom we’ve just thrown under the bus
Look how much better off we are!
Oh wait
“Well, a bad guy got into your house. Nothing you can do about it; you’re just gonna have to leave”
¯\(°_o)/¯
Instead of:
“THROW THAT BUM OUT!!” 🥾
It’s a form of pusillanimous capitulation.
Most of us don't have brain worms.
Could prob finish HSR if we had a few T invested in the state. Free healthcare is a bonus.
Seriously, why do blue states, with all their advantages, let themselves get dragged down by this shitshow? I'm not talking about secession, just play hardball! You hold the cards, fucking play them!
We need people to sign the petition to put independence on the ballot. [see profile for how to sign]
- Pacific Shipping Control
- Fruit & Veg
- High Tech Industry
- Seafood & Fishing
- Coffee/Pineapple
- Oil Production
- Tourism
- Mexico to Alaska trade corridor
We would welcome them, if they wanted to join though 😉
Nope. You get to take a full bite of your shit sandwich.
the US now has a no tariff trade partnership with russia
which says much
Hello "American Territories"
Too bad the whole world was raised in classrooms where everybody in class was punished for one person's mistake.
I honestly don’t understand Dems who are like “sorry about Trump destroying your country but the vibes are actually super chill in my neighborhood so that should help!”
Think have to focus on getting Trump out of there quickly and putting better guard rails in place to ensure that the next generation can't destroy the country.
But I’d invite every member of the EU 🇪🇺, Canada 🇨🇦, Mexico 🇲🇽, Japan 🇯🇵, Britain 🇬🇧, and any other ally on the side of sanity

Newsom should not try to protect them from the damage that their vote for Trump has brought us all.
In conclusion, I agree that CA probably doesn't deserve to be spared.
Is that how the minds of people who think Charlie Kirk makes valid points work?
I'm skeptical.
But that would be the start of a civil war, so...
But also all these guys who are running things behind the scenes are Silicon Valley, so we really should be targeting the tech industry/digital services and thus California. We need tariffs to make Zuckerberg, Thiel & co feel it in their own wallets
California is still USA
USA has made itself the enemy of freedom and free thinking!
Get right.
MARKET MADNESS!
AMERICAN SUICIDE!
Fuck this empty suit filled with false promises.
Need to color correct that disappounting State.
