How is martial law going to be enforced on ~340 million people, spread over ~3 million square miles, in clumps? There are about 3.5 million law enforcement, military and national guard. Even if no one resists, it's not likely to work. People would resist. This might help you feel less afraid.

Milquetoast. He had nothing to say to Californians except all the exciting arrests he’s going to make of “vandals.” Is he going to arrest any of the unhinged psychopaths of Trumps pretorian guards?

Newsom standing up to 45, the authoritarian. DISGRACEFUL 45 held political rally in Fort Bragg asking military if “Biden” would have such a big crowd! Those military personnel were ORDERED there. What a SAD MOMENT! WHAT A SMALL MAN. Newsom is right. Only a WEAK &INSECURE 45 would act like this.

2/Please @stephruhle.bsky.social —don't fall into #TrumpReign 's linguistic trap: Don't adapt #RasputnikStephenMiller' s portrayal & language—to date, LA disruption is leagues & leagues from "chaos:" By using #TrumpReign language to inform the nation you do gross disservice to all viewers/Americans.

Your columnist, MSNBC, Anthony Fisher, writes about violence. It seems that he doesn’t understand that Trump sends provocateurs into any place where there isn’t enough violence to generate it. And he doesn’t let people comment on his posts. Please Mr. Fisher don’t be naive.

Democrats must support Governor Gavin Newsom. Republicans and Trump will relentlessly attack Governor Newsom. No Matter what the attacks are, Democrats must stand by Governor Newsom. The bleeding heart Democrats had better stand down. This fight is not for weaklings!

First, they came for *****, and nobody said anything. Then they came for *******, and nobody said anything, then they came for me, and nobody said anything.

I support every protest against this regime. We gather in numbers that give me so much hope. We must gather in these numbers and show up in the places where we are not fighting the pawns, but where we can isolate their masters. Those responsible for all this watch in comfort - confident they’re safe

Most Americans support removing illegal aliens - even if they are working as gardeners, dishwashers, or cooks. The place to draw a line in the sand is arresting and detaining aliens who are here legally. Soliciting pity for even hard-working aliens who are here illegally is not a winning strategy.

Find a scapegoat. Tell the rest of the population all their problems are because of the scapegoats. Then tell population they will solve all their problems by getting rid of the scapegoats. Then get rid of the scapegoats. Find a new scapegoat and repeat.

If he's willing to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, use troops against his own people, stage an insurrection on Jan 6th, never mind ALL his other crimes, do you really think 2028 elections will be anything but a charade?

If only he could open his eyes and see this applied to marginalized communities such as trans folks in this speech. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate his show of force, but he’s undermined himself recently siding with the right by giving them a platform and not pushing back on their content.

Glad to see Gavin calling out felon without fear. If he can continue fighting and no longer cozy up to maga morons, he might gain some very important traction towards a 2028 bid. The resistance needs a leader who will actually resist.

Newsom is a f*cking opportunist who straddles the line between pro-fascist and theatrically leaning, against it. He will never make a statement against the fascist police forces who are shooting, beating & trampling the people of Southern California. Booker, Newsom and Biden all need to vacation.

it's a rousing, heartening speech and i 💙 that Gov. Newsom exposed Trump's affection for lawlessness—as attested by his January 6, 21 behavior

So I'm gonna just come out and say it. We're in trouble folks. Judicial, State, and Constitutional threats are at large. Military (not National Guard), Military, deploy to California tomorrow. Time for "Plan B"
