newsom really thinks he’s cheeky palling around with MAGA fascists (Shapiro, Bannon, Kirk, etc) and believes it will help him build a powerful political coalition
but MAGA is historically unpopular and flirting around with them is not going to age well

fwiw, I think Newsom is going to have a much, much more difficult time consolidating support than clinton or biden did. 1

Even if Good and Pretti were alive today, the feds would be doing more damage to our schools, our economy, our businesses, our communities, our hospitals than any outside actor has ever done in the history of Minnesota. Shaking Tom Homan's hand and agreeing to work with him makes you a collaborator.

One reason I am so furious with state and local officials who are cooperating with ICE is because it dignifies the pretense that the ongoing occupation is only bad because officers shot people. That would be horrible even if it were true, but it's not true: it's a campaign of destruction against us.

People do not understand the long-term social and economic consequences of this endless assault. It's as if we're going through a second, local COVID epidemic, except without a dime of federal financial support. It's like the federal government is at war with the entire region.

Just discovered yet another severe harm ICE is causing: huge cutbacks at our hospitals, because patients won't come in, because ICE hangs out inside the building or by the doors and abducts people. Crushing our medical system alongside our schools and our businesses.

Lol. The phrase “for political reasons” first appears in this story in the sixth paragraph — in reference to those artists canceling their performances, not in reference to Trump or any of his Kennedy Center takeover efforts.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Centrist pundits, consultants and reps don't admit when they're wrong and keep trying to push dogshit even when polls say they're on the wrong side of an issue. They post through everything. Anyone who can't admit when they're wrong can't be trusted to lead because they're only in it for themselves
plus, the left has shown much better "party loyalty" and harm-reduction instincts in the actual voting booth than the center has. PUMA democrats bail to support the right when a more progressive candidate is on the ballot far more than leftists do when the usual centrist is.

tbh nobody should be asking leftists if they'll support newsom and leftists should mostly brush off the question. it's a divisive trap that serves *only* newsom's personal interests. he isn't the candidate, he's a shithead and nominating him would be a bad idea. useless hypothetical.
