Those who once railed against the dangers of a “military state” have nothing to say as they watch one take shape. For the first time in modern history, National Guard troops are patrolling the streets of our capital armed with pistols and rifles… not overseas, but here at home! 🇺🇸 💔

Just threw the one I received in the trash. The worry is that ppl who don't follow the news won't understand why the redistricting gambit is on the ballot, or that it's temporary to counteract what's happening nationally. We all must do our part to get the word out about why this is important.
Californians‼️🚨 Did you receive this flyer yet? What you need to know—
That curious and curiouser little flyer came out 2 days after Newsom signed the bill to fight back against the Republican power grab in Texas— This is a coordinated effort by Republicans.
Make no mistake they won’t stop at TX.

Just replace NBC, CBS, and 'journalism' with 'Donald Trump' and you have a true statement.

Fantastic. Just went in July for the first time, knowing that trump would apply pressure to change it. It's an amazing experience. It is the best museum experience I've had. A must-see.

This. "The historically unpopular leaders of the Democratic Party are operating off a failed model that prioritizes a candidate’s approval by corporate interests over their ability to channel Americans' frustrations...thereby threatening to condemn us to years of unchecked authoritarian rule."
Rather than embracing candidates that spark grassroots enthusiasm and tap into the populist ferment of the American public, establishment Democrats are working to favorexactly the kind of uninspiring corporatists that dug the party’s current hole.

One thing that's been revelatory to me about the #GavinNewsom tweet campaign is i had no idea how much stupid, vile, idiotic, innane, moronic shit Donald Trump posts. I don't see it bc no non-MAGAt should ever be exposed to it, but seeing its reflection through Newsom's campaign is eye opening.
Why is Gavin Newsom the only one that is fighting back?

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s.
We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again.
Pass it along…

There's no stopping a freight train. The dems either get on board or get left behind.
