Trump doesn't want to make a hero of Pritzker. Newsom

came out of the LA national guard/ICE invasion with momentum and confidence, and knowledge of the back and forth of going against Trump.

turns out the thing most of us learned as kids is still true: stand up to bullies and they usually back down — but give them what they want and they’ll *always* be back for more

Profound thanks to Pritzker and Newsom for confirming what we need to always realize: trump is a fucking coward, who will back down when confronted.
