For the sake of our children, our loved ones, and the futures they deserve, we can’t just stand back and watch this democracy disappear.

It’s time to level the playing field. It’s time to fight back.

  1. Democracy only survives when ordinary people defend it. We can’t sit this one out.Silence is complicity. Time to The stakes couldn’t be higher—we fight now, or we lose what matters most.

  2. Go for more than five, Governor. Go bigger. Make them sweat. Other Democratic governors and blue states will follow. Purple states with Democratic Governors might as well. Don’t stop with five. What’s the true number you could get? You have until November. Go BIG!

  3. Well it's actually past time but better late than never. Let's not fight back by trying to win elections - that's never worked. Let's be who we are - say what we mean and stand up for what we believe in. If you believe in something don't back away from it during election time to win Idaho. Be you.

  4. In case you haven't figured it out, Trump is putting all these gold furnishings in the White House and making federal police permanent in DC because he has zero plans of leaving. These new permanent federal police will basically be his King's guard. He is fortifying his Castle

  5. FIVE IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU NEED TO DO ALL DISTRICTS.

    ALL. OF. THEM.

    NO HALF MEASURES. NO MODERATION. NO FAKE PARITY. NO MERCY. NO QUARTER.

    THIS IS WAR WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT. IT WAS DECLARED UPON US AND YOU DON'T GET TO JUST SAY "NUH UH" TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT.

  6. Make sure that in the process of leveling the playing field, you don't count out trans folks. We deserve representation, too.

    The constitution gives the people the power to make change, with “We The People”. The question is will “We The People” give that power away and or stay at home and complain? It's going to take everyone to save America!

  8. Make it now, create it right now, and Americans will flock to support you 100% Reinvent the Democratic Party with the leadership everyone already wants, move forward full speed ahead. Don't wait. Do it now, dynamically, and the rest will all be in the rear view mirror. Go! Do it now!

  9. We need to literally fight. Guerilla vandalism. Stop their vehicles and you stop them. Tubes of Vaseline on the windshield. Fox urine in the vents. Make them waste every resources they can. Remind every Guardsman who their neighbors are. Force them to choose violence on camera. They won't.

  10. Thank you Gavin, and thank you to your team. You have successfully trolled maga. We must not stop until they can’t even look at themselves in the mirror. You are defending what hundreds of years of independence has given us. Freedom. Democracy. I stand behind you. Stay strong sir. Do not let up. 💪

  11. No more excuses. The only identity we need to identify as is American. That which has no relation to skin color, political party, or anything used to divide us. No more letting us get steamrolled because we are on our heals. We need to lean forward, be on our toes, ready to win this fight.

  12. Convene a conference of like minded governors and elected officials to draft a Declaration attesting to the existing violations of the rule of law and government by consent being taken by Trump and MAGA officials. Formulate a referendum calling for a new constitution based on consent.

    You were cozy with the very people who are destroying our country. Now you are fighting back and I hope you are not going to pull a bait and switch on us if we support you.

  14. WTFU People NOW - Get behind this man - like him or not - Democrats LOSE because of the DIVISIONS amongst us with dozens of candidates. The Republicans are COMPLETELY UNITED in Hatred & Greed with an uneducated voter base. No one is going to be 100% perfect. Vote for ONE candidate and ONLY ONE!!

  15. I'm with you, but let's not forget the power of nonviolent resistance. We can still disrupt their plans without resorting to violence – imagine a sea of people blocking the streets, not with anger, but with determination.

  16. 50 States 50 State Capitals

    Coordinated protests across all 50 State Capitals Every weekend For as long as it takes to provoke trump into declaring Martial Law and suspending Political elections Which is where this will end up So best get the show on the road The sooner started, the sooner it ends

  17. 💯 If we don’t redistrict now, we’ll never get a chance to redistrict again. When they go low we go high got us 8 years of Trump. F that.

  18. Which is why we don’t JUST SAY “I’ll see your 5 seats.”

    We follow up with “and I’ll raise you 4 more.”

    Come on GCN!

  19. We are backing you, Newsom ❤️ Thank you for having the balls to fight back! Where are the laws, rules, and regulations ? Can't fight back cause we have the people have to abide by the rules, but Trump and Rich Republicans don't have to! Why are the rules different? They are cheating!

  20. 5 seats isn’t enough. Democrats are overwhelmingly silenced where we have the majority—and that’s before we factor in the insanity of the Electoral College that doesn’t reflect the modern political landscape.

  21. Dear Governor Newsom, Is it possible for your staff to create a list of credible resistance orgs we can join. You can post them on your governor's site. We want to help but need direction and quick training.

    If this list already exists, please post where to find it. Thank you.

  22. There are many of us walking around in a hopeless haze. Shocked by what our nation has become after decades of Fox News spewing hate and division. I hope that we can take democracy back! I hope that we fight to live freely, to love who we want, and to worship how we choose. It would take a miracle.

  23. Newsom's an unprincipled creep. I am never voting for this complete weiner of a person again. Performing opposition and parroting the right concepts -- while caving on what counts -- is no longer enough.

  24. For the sake of our children? What if those children are transgender or gender non-conforming?

  26. You all hould have read Project 2025, Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug) and Rousas John Rushdooney because the MAGA philosophy was totally transparent and communicated. The left chose not to and now within 7 months we have become an authoritarian republic!

  27. This was a red flag on Jan 6 that many (Magats mainly) failed to understand. The USA was already great because of its (then) democratic government. The Jan 6 riot was the kind seen in many countries with failing democracies.

  28. Get this lady to do a town hall.

  29. In between every one of those Defend democracy signs should be a sign that says destroy all fascists

  30. How do you suggest we do that? Do you expect the #FascistGOP to stop using massive voter suppression, extreme gerrymandering, unlimited dark $, foreign interference, and the hacking of vote tabulation systems to win “elections”? They will never willingly or peacefully give up power they seized.

  31. We have to figure how to FIGHT--If we can have a free and fair election, that's a way. Otherwise, not just do protest but have enough fired up and committed to DC for more than a day to literally take over Congress and the White House even if seems like J6. Enough people can do anything.

  32. We also need universal healthcare for their sakes, that we have been begging for for a long time. Ideology is meaningless to the suffering & the poor. You should have passed universal healthcare years ago. There would then be more people who felt you were on their side & they had a stake in voting.

  33. Please get flyers/mailers printed and make sure Californians know what is on the ballot and why. I got my first piece of republican propaganda today claiming democrats are now destroying the integrity of our elections. Well written garbage for the people not paying attention. We need coverage!

  34. You’re going to need to lobby the other democratic governors with majorities in their respective legislatures (which I’m sure you know) and find a way to help the ones that don’t. The part I need to emphasize is that WHEN you have them in line and in place, you need to make a public unity show.

  35. “America needs to wake up” and have our attention .. Unfortunately legacy media isnt talking about Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 election and many don’t know that their voice may not be heard at the ballot box

    Trump is so good at calling Fake News… Liberals.. commies, how can we fight back?🤷🏻‍♀️

  36. Rising seas AND increased tyranny — an Orwellian future we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemy, let alone our kids.

    Time to get rid of leaders whose personal power and enrichment are more important.

  37. No, Barbara Pelosi did not marry a Newsom. Barbara Newsom, who is Gavin Newsom's aunt, married Ron Pelosi, who is Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law. This makes Barbara Newsom, now Barbara Pelosi, a member of the Newsom family by marriage and a Pelosi by marriage. #TheNewsoms #Pelosis

  39. If you're not down with the fight. FU! We'll roll right over your a**. F all this bipartisanship. These racist a** individuals are not playing by any rules but their own to accomplish Trump's agenda. This evil mf'er is trying to set the stage that he never leaves office. He wants to be a f'ing king

  40. Fascist prick Donald wants violence since he controls the troops. If the bastard manages to live through his bullshit term, we need trials like the Nuremberg trials.

  41. It's been time for a while now. But I'm grateful that someone with prominence has figured out how to counter Narcissist Trump. You may not see it now, but don't worry - it's festering and he'll act out.

  42. If a dem wants 2 get elected in 2026 House or Senate race they will have 2 vow to change the statute of limitations on rape, Child molestation & sex trafficking with a penalty of life in prison without parole Otherwise they will not have learned from the Epstein case & the epidemic of pedophilia

  43. Damn straight. Keep it up governor. Maybe, just maybe, other leaders will join with you.

  44. Please don't let up on trolling Trump. It's working. Also, if you're serious about a Presidential bid, getting back what we lost under Trump is the bare minimum. People want universal health care, for example. Find a way to communicate simply about this stuff and have it resonate with all voters.

  45. You must pair this fight with progressive, people-centered, policies.

    If you stand with corporations. If you parrot the old talking points of the past, you will lose.

    If you parrot establishment, let’s get along, centrism, you will lose.

    It’s FDR style policies, or you lose.

    Trust us here.

  46. Keep it up Governor. You’re gaining a lot of new future voters. Folks recognize leadership & a fighter. Hopefully the Democrats will wake up & follow your lead.
