My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Our no Kings now much closer

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Albany, CA” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Funded by your tax dollars.

Governor JB Pritzker is testifying before Congress and he’s absolutely flipping the script.

He is weak. Never forget that. A weak traitor. We can move this needle.

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

Governor Newsom has words for Trump.

Ok, lets call all our Governors and tell them to speak out as loudly as Governor Newsom!!! CALL THEM NOW!!! I AM CALLING MINE!!!! A braided rope is much stronger than a single strand.

🤣 Gavin's got game.

Newsom: “If some of us can be snatched off the streets w/out a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

I'm glad Newsom is standing up to Trump, and I hope he continues to do so. But let's not forget that the politician who used to have an A+ meme game was...John Fetterman. And look how that turned out.

I love Newsom. Not only is he smart but puts up with no BS.

Trump doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell against a wise young man like Gov Newsom... Not today... Not tomorrow... Not Fucking Ever!!!

Governor Newsom obviously loves democracy... I'm with the Gov...

Trump's not used to people who counter-punch... Right Governor Newsom??? : )

By the way... Call Newsom "The Gov..." It's cool and it will drive donny dumbshit bonkers!!!

Trump's response to Governor Newsom's request for an injunction is one of the most poorly written briefs I've ever read that no one really proofed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ngl, Newsom sucks in a whole bunch of unique & special ways, but he is playing the politics of this moment so perfectly. This is 100% the best opportunity we've had so far to talk about Trump's capability for doing the job, and Newsom is exactly right to bring it up.

Krugman again on the money paulkrugman.substack.com/p/this-is-no... Like Krugman, I've never been a Newsom fan, but he's right, everyone who cares about democracy should be backing him now.

Here’s what Newsom needs to do. Create a daily briefing with reporters - a la Cuomo with COVID in 2020 - that lay out the facts, show images of peaceful protests, date he’s receiving from the ground, etc. Answer every question, and do it at a set time live on camera every single day.

Will the mainstream media finally listen to Daddy Gavin and look into POTUS's obvious mental decline?

Newsom is right. It's not a joke.

Newsom: Trump's ordering our American heroes, the United States military & forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past. Draft dodgers shouldn't get a military parade. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpParade

NEWS: National Guardsmen deployed to Los Angeles without pay, healthcare, and limited food, inflation ticks up, a deadly plane crash takes 242 lives in India, and Newsom questions Trump's mental acuity. All the news you missed overnight: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

As Trump versus Newsom dominates the media, Jon, Jill Lepore, and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social lament the lack of a robust and unified defense of immigration, universities, and other institutions under attack.

Once again you gotta begrudgingly hand it to Newsom

LAPD ordering peaceful protestors to disperse, not allowing them to actually disperse, then making arrests. Newsom and Bass need to make sure their cops aren't working for the bad guys.

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

Weird. Howard Lutnick lectured @repdean.bsky.social the US could grow its own bananas. Surely a guy as smart as Lutnick couldn't be WRONG about something as basic as that?

Any soldier at Fort Bragg shouting "Hooah!" in support of a draft-dodging wannabe dictator while echoing his lies — you’ve violated your oath, the Soldier’s Creed, abandoned the Army Values, & turned your back on everything the uniform represents.

Good morning Blue Sky. Don't you agree that ICE should be abolished and Social Security us our money.

Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks 👇👇👇👇👇

It’s disgusting that the Pentagon went from being run by a highly decorated 4-star General to a trashy tacky rapist drunkard buffoon from Fox Propaganda. That goes for everything Dept in the US Govt now. American democracy is in mortal danger and it’ll take decades to repair the damage.

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation. We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation. Not despite our immigrant population –– but because of it.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Tin soldiers and TACO coming, We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
