"What we're witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism."
Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernorWhat we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism.
Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power.
To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.

We are filing a request for a preliminary injunction to block the extension of soldiers’ deployment in Los Angeles through Election Day.
There was never a need — and there is certainly no need now — for troops to be deployed against their own communities.
Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor
Trump can't justify keeping the military in Los Angeles.
They want to continue their intimidation tactics to scare Californians into submission.
We won't back down.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
