on the sidelines, and never asked about our opinions vs. all of the constant trump and pro-trump tidbits that come running across our feeds. Get a little sick of them.

I feel confident more blue state politicians will now look into creative direct actions they can also take to support this battle for a new and more solid freedom for all of us.

Trump and his henchmen have no rules, morals, or love for America, the environment, and the world.

Nice to see a leader like Newsom, doing something beyond mumbling excuses, writing "stern" letters, and turning the other cheek.

I want to see a lot more of this sort of angry, thoughtful response from Democratic leadership. A whole lot more. Immediately.

…. have doomed the blue whale to extinction. The oceans are getting too warm for the krill they feed on
and Trump and Musk are shutting down work, research, and new technologies to deal with global warming.

And don’t give me the, “what about both sides?” Bull shit.

I delete and block every funding text get from any democrat post election because nobody from the
Democratic Party has said shit about how corrupt the election was. There was a reason why Mitch
McConnell blocked any and all funding on election integrity and security. Republicans cheat because
they have to.

Sorry to

saying the climatic change is now a crisis.

Especially important during this really frightening Alaska meeting.

Next D-ticket for President/Vice President: Newsom/Pritzker

AOC for Speaker of the House

They have been bringing white papers that warn about the dangers of bringing even a pea shooter or slingshot to a gunfight.

And as much as I appreciate Newsom's sharper rhetoric, rhetoric is not action. Unfortunately, Trump is running wild with nobody checking anything he does, white people like Newsom face the daunting prospect of getting other Dems to move. And they are mostly as scared as 100% of the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles).

It is worse than just hanging out in bunkers. It is more like the Neville Chamberlain treatment. When people like Bernie and AOC bring out huge crowds of Americans begging for real action, the party establishment punishes them. Likewise when somebody like David Hogg tries to motivate the necessary change from within.

My suggestion is that the more prominent Dems (like Newsom, Schumer, Jeffries, Hochul) swallow their egos and make a real alliance with people like AOC, Elizabeth, Bernie, Hogg, Mamdani and anybody else who is not afraid of their own shadow. Forget about posturing for 2028. There won't be a 2028 election at this rate.

To the extent that laws mean anything these days, I do think there are some strong moves Newsom could be taking through executive action. I am not a lawyer, and certainly not expert on California law, but it seems that something should be possible along these lines. Newsom could make a proclamation, such as:

I've held off for so long on endorsing Gov Newsom. Why? He's slick, he's good-looking, he used to be married to the godawful former girlfriend of Trump Junior. Oh, and he's from California.

Okay. I can deal with all that - and more. Truth be told, I spent many happy years in California, and wish I still lived there. And one shouldn't be penalized for being good-looking and slick.

Also, I'm willing to concede that love can do ridiculous things to people, including causing them to marry the son-of-Trump-screeching-Mimi-former girlfriend-with an abundantly botoxed face.

So Gov Newsom, I give you my endorsement, my blessing, and perhaps a few bucks for your campaign. Stand strong, and we former Californians will stand with you. Go get 'em!

once the no good cheating Felon is sent scurrying from our Whitehouse. Which I see as a positive.
