Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the state’s progressive policies, pledging to safeguard rights on issues like immigration, reproductive health, and environmental standards.

Newsom, along with other Democratic leaders and attorneys general in blue states, is preparing for legal battles against potential federal actions from a Trump administration.

State AGs, like California’s Rob Bonta, emphasize protecting vulnerable communities, while critics worry Trump’s judicial appointments could hinder challenges.

Newsom reiterated California’s commitment to resisting conservative federal policies.

    I know Trump will be absolute dogshit but I heavily doubt there will be a civil war in the next four years.

            I know we’re running with a bit here. But straight up we probably don’t want that, we’re gonna need our wits about us if we want to survive. Time to cork the champagne folks

          Why would anyone make that bet, when I’m right there’s a good likelihood we’ll both be involved like it or not. Additionally I don’t want to be fucking right about this fool! If you don’t think it’s possible for Trump to send troops into blue cities and states to enforce his agenda and that won’t be met with resistance and then escalation I don’t know what reality you’ve been living in. Either you haven’t paid attention at all or you’re acting in bad faith. I won’t respond to you further, good luck living in denial

            The national guard was sent in 2020 to blue cities and there was resistance.

            That’s far from a civil war though.
