I just heard someone say “Gavin Newsom will protect you from everyone but himself” and that’s both funny AND accurate.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Because if they tried to sleep outside, Gavin Newsom would single-handedly destroy them.

Glad to see the democrats are continuing their strategy of keeping anyone under the age of 80 from a leadership role. Success breeds success.

I don’t want to say “I called it,” but I remember watching Home Alone 2 as a kid and saying to my mom during the Trump cameo, “that guy is going to end up destroying American democracy.”

I wish I could explain how visceral the hatred of Gavin Newsom is for San Franciscans, but I already had to explain that about Kamala Harris. Why do our terrible politicians keep rising above the rest!?

I think Saturday is going to be very telling of what the future holds. I think we’re probably going to see peaceful protestors fired on and killed, and I think what happens after that will determine which of the many possible paths we end up going down.

It’s like The Siege but Denzel is also a bad guy and Tony Shaloub is a bad guy and Annette Benning is a bad guy, essentially they are all bad guys. Also there was no terrorism that caused any of the sieging, it was just a rough few hours at a Home Depot.

Actually let’s be super clear, the president doesn’t hate big cities, he’s a New Yorker who found populism. He wouldn’t be caught dead in the small towns his supporters live in.

As a born and raised San Franciscan it is very hard to show solidarity and support for Los Angeles without vomiting but we all must make sacrifices.
