This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

A reminder that you don't need to understand everything you see

A quote from Ghostface Killah on art: "I don't give a fuck if you don't know what I'm talking about — this is art. When you see a painting in the wall and it looks bugged out because you don't know what the fuck he thinking, because he ain't got no benches, no trees there, it's just a splash. The n---- that did it know what the fuck it is.

When @wired.com made FOIA-based stories free, subscriptions went up.

When @404media.co published public records reporting without a paywall, new sources came forward.

We spoke to both about why dropping paywalls like this is good for journalism — and for business.

Wired and 404 Media make FOIA reporting free. Other news outlets should too

We spoke to Katie Drummond of Wired, Joseph Cox of 404 Media, and Lauren Harper of Freedom of the Press Foundation about the case for unpaywalling public records-based reporting

Holy shit. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social has rounded up the @wsj.com's op-eds ranting against Mamdani. I laughed after the first screen, but then scrolled & realized there was more. And more. And more. And more. Honestly this warrants psychological analysis. This kind of obsession is not healthy.

couple things: do not panic. this rule WILL be held up in the courts for a long time.

also, keep an eye on the public comment period. the more comments they get, the longer it will take them to go through all the comments.

Loudly saying you won't vote for Newsom now is the perfect time to do it. October 29th, 2028 not so much.

Don't vote for Gavin Newsom btw. He is a virulent anti trans bigot who is cruel to homeless people, has the vibe of Patrick Bateman, and he married Kimberly Guilfoyle on purpose.

No!! No!

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

A lot of people have somehow decided that this is a conversation about trans people not wanting to vote for an anti-trans bigot like Gavin Newsom and it absolutely is not.

He doesn't deserve their votes and they'd be right to hold them back. But I wouldn't expect that to change his mind.

I know this reinforces a narrative about condescending leftists calling all conservatives bigots but I'm sorry, every form of data — anecdotes, polling and public statements by conservatives — indicate that these are the main drivers.

It's a doomed quest to keep looking for good underneath evil.
