This is why we can’t have nice things. Our governor is adopting planks from another party in a fairly shameless attempt to build momentum for a presidential run.

Our state is not a stepping stone to move 3,000 miles away. I know he’s term-limited, but we have problems here and now, and need our government to focus on us.

He’s term-limited in 2026.

As a trans person, I feel intense fear being in the United States. But, I felt some sort of safety being in California. He even said he doesn’t know a lot about trans ppl, yet he still felt confident and comfortable to comment on the topic. I feel hurt, disappointed, and scared from what Newsom said.

We need him gone and a new, leftist governor to replace him. One that actually upholds the progressive ideals that California represents. He stands for the bureaucrats, not for the people. He doesn’t care for us, he just wants money.

Get him out

Gavin is a coward who thinks he can run for POTUS.

Frankly he'll be sidelined in the Dem primary and laughed out of the room as a "left coast liberal".

Brown had this happen to him at the hands of Clinton during the 92 campaign. Newsom will fare no better. He is sacrificing trans folks on the altar of US stupidity for nothing.
