We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

When I say that no gov/policy/media/organizing work can be effective without acknowledging that a solid 30-40% of the US is living full-time in an ARG that positions verifiable reality as an evil illusion, this is what I am talking about.

CALIFORNIA WATER UPDATE: The Army Corps knew the water wouldn’t reach LA—but they followed Trump’s orders and dumped it anyway. He wasted billions of gallons for a photo op. Hope farmers don’t ask where their precious water went when they need it this summer—the clown they voted for sabotaged them.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

I think the entire construct of alpha males and beta males is deeply stupid, totally contradictory to the science and a way for stunted men to make sense of the world. That said it's very funny that every man in Trump world is basically a beta male to Trump.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth. Now watch the video and listen. It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it. Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago. Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging. 75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults. Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Gavin Newsom is the exact kind of gutless weasel that we SHOULD NOT FOLLOW at such a critical time as this. We don't need our own snake oil salesman. We need truly courageous leaders, and he ain't it.
