Gavin Newsom is doing what all of the Governors should be doing. They must stand up for States Rights. Stand up to this evil, authoritarian regime. Donald Trump must be stopped. And then removed from Office !

Newsom had the support of California voters with 62% in 2018, 62% in the 2021 bogus recall, and 60% in 2022 while Don taco boss had allegedly 49.8% of the support last year. But, Hey, it's not like the free press cares about that.

Actually, the "Stumbling" TACO only got about 38%, Harris 37%, a couple % for third party, and 22% didn't vote. No mandate with that kind of percentage.

Wait till another Hurricane blows in from the Gulf and there will be the Orange mob blob waiting for "Bribes" before dispensing a Penny of relief. Or, perhaps "Help the Hurricane Homeless" TV show where the State has to prove "Worthy" of relief. Oh, Oh! Perhaps a Governor Fight to the Death format in a Gladiator Arena Venue! That's the money maker! Humm... sounds like "Hunger Games" but Orange blob will not care about copyrights etc.; The Spectacle Must Go On!

A a Californian, I support him completely in this. This is America. Our military fights for us, not the orange man. We generally love immigrants here. They are our neighbors and friends. We don’t ask if they are “legal”. They contribute so much.

I work in construction in the LA area, and would estimate that 75%-80% of people working in the trades here are Hispanic. They are generally hard working, don't complain, and usually treat me with kindness. I am sad and outraged at the same time that they are being treated like criminals, and are living in fear. Taco on the other hand has never worked an honest day in his life, and there is a special place in Hell reserved for him for what he's done to this country

The free press and social media lies have to start first. Put f'ing AI to work real time to calculated on broadcast, web or radio, the odds of "news" being fact or fiction. Require Truth, Ethics and Journalism on broadcast, web and radio content with harsh penalties for lies and mis-info. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine that Raygon zapped at the same time Murderoch was starting up Fuxx Noise entertainment.

I am extremely worried about how this plays out. If the military is helping ICE, how long do you think before Trump starts detaining US citizens that he views as the enemy. Political activists, the LGBTQ community, opposition Democratic lawmakers past and present?

We are on the clock. Best Guess is the end of June or Mid July based on Germany of 1933.

Jan 30, 1933 Hitler was made Chancellor. On the same day Hitler created the SA Paramilitary Unit.

Feb 28, 1933 The Reichstag Fire broke out.

March 24, 1933 Hitler was given the power to Punish anyone "considered" an enemy of state. On the same day Himmler opens the Dachau death camp.

End of June 1933, Hitler outlawed all opposing political parties and rounded up 27,000 political enemies.

Mid July 1933 the NAZI party was the only party allowed in Germany and about 63,000 Jews left Germany. However, 60 Million people stayed in Germany and "adapted" to the "New Germany."

Sept 1, 1939 Germany invades Poland and World War II starts.

"And now you know the rest of the story."

Thank you for reminding of us of the danger of people being complacent, and assuming that a very bad person will ever do the right thing. While Biden was president we could watch cute pet videos on our phones, drink Starbucks and complain "Oh my! look at the price of eggs! that was the worst we had to worry about.... Now Taco is trying to turn the military against the very people they swore to protect, and using the Treasury as his personal piggy bank

Newsom is correct. I believe the more raids occur, more outrage and pushback will be generated, so the administration is working on circumventing pushback from our citizens. Just this morning in Omaha Nebraska, 3 meat packing plants were raided. Good honest people were taken from their jobs and more importantly their families.

With a population of 2 million and a Labor Force of 1 million, who will back-fill the people just Disappeared by ICE and who is going to work for $13.50 in a Nebraskan slaughterhouse? FAFO.

Most media is reich wing now and the real danger is our data being turned over to the Taco regime. With google, facebook, amazon, twitter and hundreds perhaps thousands of sites tracking us as we type, be smart. Always, clear cache, history. Dump unused apps/games. Turn off tracking or only allow when needed. Use stronger passwords that do not associate tracking data if breached i.e. birthdays, SS# etc common serial numbers or parts of a serial number like an old toaster come to mind (I know it is hard.) Stop using google, facebook, amazon and twitter and/or their subsets. Use VPN routers when possible or set your browsers/device to use VPN. Also, watch out for chats/messengers like Apple that do not encrypt cloud data links. Careful with Whatsapp/Signal (ironic eh?) because the key encryption is the same and controlled by Zuckerberg and Pichai who I do not trust. Be weary of the hype for Windows 11 TPM 2.0 because it really does not protect a computer very much. TPM can encrypt a local hard drive and offers some biometrics safeguards but unfortunately, the best protection is destroying the device. Good luck.

Honestly, maybe Newsom is the ticket for President with AOC or Crockett or Stansbury or Pressley or Buttigieg or Booker or similar for his Vice.

I would support him 250% (as I will if AOC or the others are on the ticket for President).

We need more Newsoms, AOCs, Crocketts, Stansburys, Pressleys, Buttigiegs, Bookers, etc to stand up against TheRump and stop this utter madness.

If this corrupt administration allows elections. Everyone should remember Orban went 4 Republican to Fl to see Trump 3 times why? then another to speak at CPAC. 2024 about 30 or so Republicans in Congress flew to Hungary! Why?

I am guessing to learn how to overtake our Country because after that Trump started saying vote once you won’t have to do it again then he odd thing which was reported by MIDEAS Mighty Putin’s Planes landed in Dulles Airport right next to Trump plane odd no one got out of Putin’s but some went in. I don’t believe in coincidences that’s when Trump started spewing he didn’t need any more votes. But yet Musk did Petition. It’s all just to set up now look him he stop weapons to Ukraine ☑️ for Putin give one to Orban for his disgraceful performance as an Authoritarian piece of garbage now look at all the EO that Miller written DJT SIGN ARENT LAW but no one challenges them.

Now he pushing Newsom I think because DJT. said no more fema then Newsome came back like fuck Brain less coward Cailf will just keep our $83b in Fed Tax money poor DJT DOESNT LIKE THAT SO TRUMP MADE HUGE MISTAKE THREATENING PROTEST IN CA WILL CAUSE CALI CITIZENS TO GO FULL FORCE MILITARY OR NOT REMEMBER THOSE GUYS LIVE IN CA. SO HE SHOULD MOVE TO FUCKING HUNGARY TAKE ALL HIS WORTHLESS CON KIDS TOO. I HATE HIM ALWAYS HAVE EVEN IN 78 when I live in NY he slimes person no moral he always hate Military play he was a democrat longer than a republican which then can have the traitor felon

I can spell it out for you because our lazy click free press ignores the obvious.

This is a classic Mob Boss ploy. The Mob Boss tells his crew to steal money from good people and businesses via a scam, lies, and bribes like; "Tariffs," "Stock Market YoYo," "An Airplane Palace," or "Big Bullshit Bill." Then, after the heist, the "Loot" is split up between the Boss and his Mob Goons aka "billionaires. If any of the good people speak up about the Mob Boss, The Heist, or his Goons stealing money, the Mob Boss sends out his Goons to beat you up, plant evidence and says that the good people are the crooks. Newsom brought up stopping $83 Billion surplus federal payments Friday the 6th then the Guard was called up to send a message... TACO don learned this from Rudolph Ghouliani.

Note: California sends $83 Billion to the TACO regime while Texass and Floriduh takes $117 Billion from the TACO regime.
