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

"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."
