California governor says “democracy is next” and accuses Trump of using the military “illegally” to bolster his power.

"What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

Gov. Newsom says Trump is "not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him." "What more evidence do we need than January 6?"

"Adolf Hitler was a master of manufacturing public-security crises to advance his authoritarian agenda."

"Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves," Gov. Newsom says. "But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control."

Newsom: "What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty. Your silence. To be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him."

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

YESSSS. But also, he never should have been arrested in the first place.

RFK Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic who has trafficked in conspiracy theories, purges all 17 members of an advisory committee on immunization to the CDC as he continues to upend scientific conventions. @apoorvanyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

The thing that fascists want is to commit violence. A lot of people have noted that the “ideology” of fascism is incoherent, and it is, because it’s really just an ever-evolving series of pretexts to engage in and celebrate violence. And right now that’s what Trump wants.

Now more than ever, read this piece. What Terry Moran said is not "opinion" its well reported fact.
