.@GavinNewsom: "I've tried to work with him. You can't work with Donald Trump. You can only work FOR him. And I will not - I refuse - to work for Donald Trump."
California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts.
If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.
IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!
In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders & using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep. But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power & tell Trump enough is enough.
Trump skipped a ceremony for fallen soldiers to play golf but don't forget the time Biden did something worse: attended the same ceremony and looked at his watch
MAGA Nazis in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho dragged out people at a town hall when they opposed cuts to Medicaid, the citizens were attacked and detained by unknown assailants while a MAGA speaker mocked the victims and thanked the rest of the crowd for being docile subservient cowards.
Over 10% of employees in agriculture and construction are undocumented immigrants. That doesn’t bode well for home and food prices under Trump’s deportation plans.
