Gavin Newsom is correct. Trump and Stephen Miller are quintessential fascists.

Gavin Newsom: "It was Hannity, all these guys -- 'Outraged! Offended! Disgusted!' Because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity of what's going on in this country, the absurdity of Donald Trump, the absurdity of these networks playing into it"

Gavin Newsom: "This is a tough time. A lot of anxiety, a lot of stress ... and Democrats frankly have had a difficult time pushing back. There's sort of this weakness that dominates our brand, and I think what people appreciate is that we're willing to fight not only symbolically but substantively"

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

Seriously though @governor.ca.gov –– drop that skin routine.

@karaswisher.bsky.social has a 🔥 take on Gavin Newsom's epic Trump troll

California Gov. Gavin Newsom:

"We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what's happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Trump: "It reminds me of a punch drunk boxer. He's just wildly flailing... He's trying anything, trying to chum the waters. It normally it works for him. It's not working right now. That's why he's off promoting his golf courses in Scotland. Get me the hell out of here."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on a possible Trump pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell: "When you're meeting with her, with your former personal attorney... This is what he does. He tests one theory, throws something out, starts to lay the groundwork. He's serious about it. For what? Why?"

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We're trying to play by one set of rules. And these folks on the other side play by a completely different set of rules. So much so that the president United States called Greg Abbott and told him, in essence, find 5 additional seats so he can rig the election next year."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "More and more evidence every single day, he's lost a step. This is not the same Trump 1.0. This is different. Something's off. Increasingly off. He's unmoored in ways even by Trump's standards I haven't seen."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social's message to rightwing influencers who put allegiance to Trump over honesty about Epstein: "Reputations can be destroyed in a moment...Trump has zero loyalty. At least be loyal to your followers on your own. Have the decency to have the back of those that are following you."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We can, in essence, likely neuter the total number of districts that Trump is looking to get with Abbott in rigging those [Texas] maps, here in the state of California. Hope other governors consider doing similar things. You've got to fight fire with fire."

YES! Gavin Newsom starts the process to gerrymander California. Why that is good!
