IMHO, it was a gutsy, principled act
21 years later, it's so disappointing to see what directions Newsom has taken
It's repulsive, for example, seeing him throw trans kids under the bus to appeal to 'centrist' voters, which I wrote about, with Mandy Giles, in TIME

Letting Transgender Kids Play Sports Benefits All Kids
States with policies allowing trans girls to play sports have seen increased rates of sports participation by cis girls.

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If Republicans were able to respond with "we should listen to the voters" and not "I am entitled to this seat and therefore punish the people who tried to deny me this birthright" this might mean less shitty for the next year in terms of not being the cruelest mortherfuckers on the planet. Alas.

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.
