Newsom is all about publicity & nothing about integrity.
It’s been depressing watching American ppl hero-worship a power crazed sell-out. It’s not just Kimberly Guilfoyle & cosmetic surgery he has in common with the Trumps. READ this:

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.
Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills
The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

Silent Hill f was great. Wonderful to have a high-quality Silent Hill game again after soo long. The themes are so strongly conveyed and depicted in very interesting ways. Still need to play NG+ for the additional story, but what was in the first run was satisfying enough. 3rd fav after 3 and 2 :)

So explain why they use ICE to violently detain any immigrant for speaking and steal them off the streets in front of their children.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.
That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

The fact there are people in my life who can still justify voting red and pretend they are anything but right wing boot kissers is wild. It truly shows how either indoctrinated into the regime they are, or how ill informed they are and always have been.
