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.
Whatever drugs you’re taking please share them with the rest of us
I’ll take two please
Can I buy them in bulk? I wanna feel detached for the next 4 years.
Too bad they aren’t putting RFK in charge of shutting down the DEA
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
Fair point. I’ll be there regardless.
You willing to take a bet. 60-40 odds in your favour?
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.
