If the government can ban the tools used to exercise a constitutional right, then no right is safe.

Posers 🙄
The Principle of the Thing, we call this.
If you believe books shouldn't be banned because ideas should be fought with better ideas, then you shouldn't be "banning" people either.

The moment you start banning your way to a more enlightened society, you've lost the argument. You are saving the library solely to become the new librarian who decides which shelves are off-limits.

@Everytown asked me to fill out their candidate questionnaire. They demanded I pledge to "equity" while supporting the exact laws historically used to disarm the Black Panthers and freedmen.

I declined.

You CANNOT claim to fight for the marginalized while demanding the State maintain a total monopoly on violence.

Our state's bloated bureaucracy demands Bachelor's degrees for jobs where skills matter more than sheepskins. This "college or bust" mentality is crushing opportunity. I'm here to disrupt the university monopoly and value real-world skills. Let's get to work, without the unnecessary debt.

It's time to respect skills over credentials.

If you own the land, and your building is safe, you shouldn't need permission from your neighbors to build on it.

The "My Land, My Plan" Act restores your property rights. The City Council is not your HOA.

Goes for governorship as well.

Automated License Plate Readers, they sure do be finding stolen cars. But storing data on innocent drivers for years is government overreach, plainly and simply. As Governor, I would fight to limit ALPR data retention to 24 hours. Crime fighting, not mass surveillance.

California taxpayers spend billions renting software to run our own state. Then we pay millions more to "license" the data we already generated.

No more rent-seeking on the public dime. If tax dollars pay for the code, the code belongs to the public. Open Source California.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The price of the Governor's signature.
​Left: California ($3.99)
Right: Nevada ($2.67)
Both near the state borders.

One state government thinks it owns you. Which one is that?

​I'm running to delete the difference

Which of the below do you trust the most??

Why is https://t.co/pkmWFn85CT Lying to Voters?

https://t.co/pkmWFn85CT has falsely flagged my active campaign as "Dropped Out" for nine months, hiding me from voters who match my policies. This is election interference disguised as a data error.

@iSideWith @taylorpeck @nboutelier You have my candidate profile for CA Governor 2026 Nicholas Thompson listed as Dropped Out. This is false. I am an active declared candidate currently collecting signatures. I am listed on Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, the LPCA's newsletter (The Beacon), and the CA Secretary of State website. Support has ignored requests to fix this for nearly a year. Please correct this data error immediately.
