Newsom is a monster no less evil than Trump. He just wants the power for himself and is willing to manipulate you to get it.

while smiling!

Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world.

Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate;

Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

There are always cameras. There are thousands of videos spanning many many years. Why don't you watch them?

Liberals want a strong republican party but they don't want a strong communist party and that tells you what you need to know if you care to know it

So, why? NYPD beats the hell out of peaceful protestors pretty regularly. Why weren't they starting violence this time? Why were the cops on the same side as the protestors?

If the police are thanking you, odds are it's because you're doing what they want you to. 😬

by celebrating cop messaging around the protests, you’re allowing them to co-opt a movement that is actively opposed to them and their work.

don’t you fucking dare.

The Austin police department shot me in the chest with a less lethal round for trying to help a person off the ground during a protest. They fired tear gas at anti ICE protesters a few months ago. Do not be foolish enough to embrace them.

Austin PD's statement was even more explicitly pro-protest, they literally thanked everyone for coming out lol

Protests are always peaceful before the cops start violence. So why didn't they this time? Nationwide?
Fascists joining an anti-fascist march?
Please ask yourselves these questions.

The image is a Venn diagram with the title "IT'S ALL CONNECTED." It visually represents the interconnectedness of various social and political issues centered around "CAPITALISM," which is placed in the middle. The diagram consists of four overlapping circles, each labeled with different concepts. Here's a breakdown:
1. Top Circle:
- Label: RACISM
- Connected to: PATRIARCHY, WHITE SUPREMACY
2. Right Circle:
- Label: HIERARCHY
- Connected to: WHITE SUPREMACY, INDIVIDUAL OVER COMMUNITY
3. Bottom Circle:
- Label: ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM
- Connected to: INDIVIDUAL OVER COMMUNITY, MAN DESTROYS NATURE
4. Left Circle:
- Label: IMPERIALISM
- Connected to: PATRIARCHY, SETTLER COLONIALISM

The overlaps between the circles contain the following terms:
- PATRIARCHY (between RACISM and IMPERIALISM)
- WHITE SUPREMACY (between RACISM and HIERARCHY)
- INDIVIDUAL OVER COMMUNITY (between HIERARCHY and ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM)
- MAN DESTROYS NATURE (between ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM and SETTLER COLONIALISM)
- MISOGYNY (between IMPERIALISM and SETTLER COLONIALISM

If you make more than $360,000 annually, congratulations.

The GOP has given you a tax cut.

If you make less than that amount, tough luck for you.

please stop using the NYPD not arresting people as proof of how "good" the protests were, and instead ask what is motivating the NYPD to make this messaging front and center.

John McCain was just as much of a monster as the rest of them. He would talk big to the press and then walk back into Congress and vote exactly as he was instructed to. He was a foil, a fraud. He kept people believing that there could be "good" Republicans. It was a ruse. And people ate it up.

The British Empire committed unspeakable horrors and genocide to get their hands on spices now their descendants are so racist they think mayonnaise is too spicy.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.
