Forget the high road: Newsom takes the fight to Trump and his allies

In a common insult the Trump administration uses against dissidents of federal policy, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called a California judge a “communist” after she blocked roving immigration arrests based on race alone.

The MAGA-embraced epithet from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s official press office in response, however, was hardly typical for a Democratic politician.

“This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy,” the California governor’s office posted on social media. “Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder.”

Popular among the far right and the gutters of social media, the term is used to insult liberals as weak and is also short for "cuckold," which refers to the husband of an unfaithful wife.

You want to run for President, The Senate, or House? Call out Trump and Republicans with language as cutting as this or get out of the way. We need street fighters now, not ‘statesmen.’

If we don't beat him down because he may not make MY dreams come true first.
SUPPORT HIM. He's supporting you. That's all you need to know. Everything else can wait. ThIs is an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS MOMENT!
All things considered, a bad Newsome is supremely better than The Tyrant.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL!!!!!!!!
Keep the faith, do the Work, stay focused, and you will have a better chance to find the Justice you are due. If not, what are your chances you will be given the kind of Justice you are promised in The Constitution by The Tyrant?
If you don't know, you can't be helped.

some ruthless actions in Sacramento with the idea of provoking our state and Newsom in particular.

Why else would they all be coming here and filling our hotels?

Except of course to terrorize our farming communities? And workers at Home Depots?
