I’ll comment before this inevitably gets flagged.
Federal agents intimidating a sitting governor is an affront to the United States federal system. Anyone failing to protest this only reveals they have no actual allegiance to federalism and only ever view it as a useful tool to bang on when they are not in power in Washington.
We are in deeply dangerous waters as a country.

- sundaeofshock 1y agoTrue. However, I think it’s important to note that the governor refused to be intimidated and continued mocking Trump on social media. I don’t always agree with Newsom’s politics but I sure like the fact that he reuses to bend the knee to Trump.
- ncr100 1y agoI'm much more willing to grant Newsom leeway, these days. I think his logic is sound, for the redistricting response in California that he's threatening, for example. Unity is a force multiplayer, too, so I'll grant my support until we get through this authoritarian flu.
