Newsom used his political muscle to:
-Allow Trump’s ally, the billionaire Ellison family, to own CBS, CNN & TikTok along with Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar
-Oppose a 5% billionaire wealth tax
-Kill Medicare for All in CA
-Veto an AI kill switch
A bed made by the Oligarchs.

in 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 an hour.
40 hours of work = $64
at the official $35/oz gold price, that was about 1.83 ounces of gold.
today, 1.83 ounces of gold is worth roughly $7,900.
to earn $7,900 in a single 40-hour workweek today, you’d need to make about $198/hour.
$1.60/hour then.
~$198/hour today.
measured in gold.
let that sink in.
“We can’t tax rich people on unrealized stock gains because they haven’t actually made the money until they sell.”
Okay.
Then why does my property tax bill keep rising when my house increases in value?
I didn’t sell it.
I didn’t cash out.
I didn’t put that appreciation in my bank account.
But I’m still paying more every year because the house is supposedly worth more on paper.
Funny how “unrealized gains aren’t real money” gets complicated depending on whose gains we’re talking about.
$131.5 million dollars in stolen wages this guy just secured for Doordashers. Also, DOORDASH STOLE $131,500,000 FUCKING DOLLARS FROM THEIR WORKERS AND WHOEVER MADE THAT DECISION SHOULD BE IN PRISON
Just in case you were wondering why DoorDash was spending so much money to elect Andrew Cuomo and oppose Zohran Mamdani — DoorDash now has to pay $115 million to the workers it stole wages from.
The U.S. has spent $43.5 billion on the Iran war since February.
Making public college free for every American would cost $34.5 billion.
Free college means more skilled workers, higher wages, and less debt fucking over an entire generation.
The money exists, just not for us.
This will go down as the most corrupt media merger in history.
Giving the Ellison family, Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar, control of CBS, CNN & TikTok for a promise to make 30 movies a year is insane.
These guys will make the Melania film look like it should have won Best Picture.
Absolutely fucking shameful. Knew this was coming when Newsom, Beccera, Bass added to the bipartisan efforts to crush Bonta and the AGs fight against this merger. Mark Ruffalo did more to protect workers and stop this zionist maga takeover than the Dems did
List reasons you will NOT be supporting Gavin Newsom for President.
I’ll start-
1. He vetoed a bill that would’ve allowed striking workers to get unemployment benefits. This would’ve been a game changer to hold big corporations accountable.
2. He pushed for the sale of Warner bros to Paramount- and allowed Ellisons to further consolidate media.
3. He opposes the one time 5% billionaire tax ballot measure in Nov 2026. (Californians- please vote yes on prop 40).
Gavin Newsom vetoed a telework bill that was backed by labor unions that would've required state agencies to justify demands for employees to work in person, and would've made the costs and benefits of telework more transparent.
SEIU Local 1000, which represents about 100,000 state employees, is asking members to authorize a strike over disagreements including pay and remote work.
