They're the same person and if you support Newsom you support Shapiro. That simple. OK? I'll bring this up every time someone mentions Newsoms name unless it's in the context of what kind of splat he'd make if he fell off the Capitol Records building
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

This is HC gas, or hexachloroethane. It's toxic when taken up by the skin and a probable carcinogen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexachl...
![Screenshot of Wikipedia entry on HC gas: "Toxicity
Hexachloroethane is not particularly toxic when taken orally,[14] but is considered to be quite toxic by skin adsorption. The primary effect is depression of the central nervous system.[3] The concentration that is immediately dangerous to life or health is 300 ppm and the permissible exposure limit according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is 1 ppm (skin).[14] It is reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen.[15]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7flgv6jbzgsegvemmaxs5pr/bafkreiaett6g6rhak2paauu5h6ircqc4wdpufwimgimz5atyg7welz6bwy@jpeg)

People are in the streets in greater numbers than the first Trump term and party ID is shifting more significantly, and yet the Democratic Party has been considerably more accommodationist
New party identification polling from Gallup this week shows Americans are moving against Trump faster than they did in his first term. Adults were R+4 in 2024, now D+8. That 12-pt drop is 3x the change in the first year of his first term.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
