I like how kids just ask questions
This kid today asked me why I wore socks that don’t match (i tend to, when the sock textures match)
I feel that adults would find it weird and assume it was any accident but not ask
I’m glad the kid asked

I am becoming a bit less embittered about people in a way
I feel people are deeply damaged, traumatized, and that the waterfall of propaganda we get is hard to fight with the little bucket of reading and learning we can do as individuals
It’s like intergenerational political trauma

It's not even a "now shifting" thing. He's *always* been like this. In CA he's pretty widely disliked by both the right and the left. The only folks behind him are the Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd and centrists.
The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.
The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.
Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

A major reason that Gavin Newsom will not be the Democratic nominee is that it's very clear that he read the same stuff we all did last year about swing voters not liking orthodox social liberals and is "pivoting" on certain issues to try and pretend that he didn't have an entire career being one

![KABAS: So many comparisons have made between the current state of US immigration terror and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and I've seen some say that kind of seeks to absolve this country of its own history of racial terror and genocide. In the hearings this week with ICE and CBP and USCIS, you said you have “no respect for inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol.” How did it feel to publicly and explicitly draw that connection?
REP. RAMIREZ: I knew that I was going to make them very uncomfortable. I'm not talking about just the DHS directors there—I meant my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And I say this often, ‘Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s the willingness to act despite the fear.’ I'm a little scared [in that moment], because if I'm being blunt with you, every time I speak there's a death threat. And yet I thought it was so important, as a daughter of immigrants, as a proud representative of Illinois-3, as someone who has been calling out what they do, to be able to look evil in the eye and call them what they are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreieyek3u7oka3cei3fdsxn2u7wyxj64s6uxl5kk7dx5zuu3wqr4vue@jpeg)
