It’s a beautiful thing to see my state leading the charge against MAGA. I’m sure a few other western states will join us when we inevitably break off.
Of note, I was just telling my wife while we were out for a drive last weekend how much I’ve seen our state flag appearing on peoples homes now. Before Trump people in California rarely if ever displayed the Cali flag, but now I see it everywhere, especially in neighborhoods that typically didn’t have them before.
It is inspiring.
But I really wish we’d step up here on the East Coast. NY, MA, NJ, VT. All should be right out in front with you, but aren’t.
They have that new North East or New England health pact thing! They’re working on stuff, but I think they’re rightfully taking stock of what areas they can afford to hit back on. California can basically take care of itself so we have a lot less to lose if the feds try to shut us down.
So you’re saying there’s a chance.

Damn straight. Proud Californian.
This attack on our universities from the radical right wing is especially worrisome.
Wish Democrats in the House and Senate could also do something…
They filibustered a bill that would’ve cut medicaid funding and shut down the government. The filibuster is literally all they have because voters gave Republicans a trifecta
I also wish they would call for protests over some of the heinous things. Break through with messaging. Make it clearer what the Republicans are doing. Some credit is due, though.
Can we fucking secede already?*
*I’m not even sure how much of that statement is a joke anymore.
The Trump administration also wants schools to commit to reforms for a “vibrant marketplace of ideas”
This will be done by dictating what they can think and teach.
The goal is to shut down higher education for the masses. So it’s not really the best strategy.
