I don't plan on writing a ton about electoral politics until it's clear we're going to have elections that aren't just straight up rigged, but I expanded some thoughts about Gavin Newsom for the I told you so-s later:

Picture Show: Gavin Newsom is the Problem

ninaillingworth.com/2025/04/21

"Speaking frankly, I think Newsom’s eliminationist policies towards unhoused people in California, and his willingness to chum around with nazi Trump regime propagandists on his podcast while agreeing they make some good points about things like trans rights, should be enough to disqualify him from political life immediately, let alone a 2028 Dem nomination run. This is in addition to the fact that he’s a soulless neoliberal who talks like a progressive but has been quietly transforming California into a police state."

Nina Illingworth Dot Com | "When the revolution is for everyone, everyone will be for the revolution" · Picture Show: Gavin Newsom is the Problem | on NIDCGavin Newsom is a reactionary collaborator and if you care who wins a hypothetical 2028 US election, you should hope his bid for the Dem Party nomination fails.

California is the first state to sue Donald Trump over his tariffs. We are the world's fifth largest economy, ahead of all U.S. states and most countries.

"The lawsuit challenges Trump evoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to enact the tariffs, arguing the act had never been used for such levies and such powers rest with the US Congress.

Spent 8 days in California last summer, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I've now been 10 times to San Francisco through my life, i love the city. Love the food in LA.

Sorry Gavin, not this year, not for a while. We don't feel safe and honestly, we don't feel like you deserve our money. I'm not seeing you fighting much against the 51st state bullshit either.

I'm not a fan of Daily Kos, but they're right about #GavinNewsom:
"Newsom’s rightward shift is likely tied to his apparent ambition to run for president in 2028. But in his attempts to court conservatives, he’s revealed a significant vulnerability: His positions are not based on genuine ideological evolution but rather on a willingness to abandon past convictions to cater to whatever seems popular with voters."

Daily KosWhat the hell is Gavin Newsom trying to do?It turns out that trying to find common ground with Republicans isn’t the best approach for Democrats hoping to win the favor of their colleagues. Not only does it risk coming across as ...

Oh look, popular Dems doing something and filling the house......and without throwing a single minority under the bus.

Do you see that Gavin, do you see it?

Oh no, you've paid consultants to hide all this from you, and tell you be as Fash as you can get away with, oh no....

The Guardian · Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working classBy Lauren Gambino

California Governor Gavin Newsom sinks to a new low after already having white “supremacist” Charlie Kirk on his podcast. Now it’s Bannon. Trying to appeal to white racists for your 2028 presidential run is about as low and skanky as it gets. DESPERATION. He can invite on who he wants but this is despicable. They won’t vote for you. And Newsom has already said things offensive to some in the trans community on his podcast. #california #gavinnewsom

As a #trans #California resident who personally witnessed #GavinNewsom support same-sex marriage as mayor of San Francisco before it was legalized statewide, I was disgusted by his agreement with Kirk's transphobic views. I wrote to #Newsom and urged him to support the T along with the LGB: funcrunch.medium.com/governor-
