The problem is, unless things change drastically, that is the trajectory the US is on.
Again where is the actual show of support from the rest of America? This should not be California's fight, it should be all of us fighting as America against authoritarianism.
Where are the people telling their local government they need to following the example Glendale just set for the rest of us.
There have been solidarity protests in several other states.
As a Californian, while I'm sure we have the thoughts and prayers support from others across the country and world, I suspect we're pretty much on our own. It won't be long before other blue states are fighting their own similar fights against hostile takeover, and red states are cheering this shit on because "Commiefornia." And honestly, people are, but city councils are also doing their own balancing acts, if they aren't already MAGA infested. There isn't really a unified response as of yet, but I suspect that'll change as more of CA becomes threatened.
We all have different battles. Ours are currently focussed on our colleges and universities, research and innovation. We recently won one where the court decided that mango Mussolini can’t prevent specific colleges from admitting foreign students out of spite. Of course there’s a major chilling effect but it’s a win.
Also, one of our senators has been extremely vocal and active. Not much Dems can do in Congress but speaking up is a start
And yes, we have many “No Kings”protests lined up that will get huge turnout for our population. Thoughts and prayers are on the way, but also gives encouragement for our representatives, our state, our law enforcement to do what they can.
Right on, keep fighting the good fight.
All over. Peaceful. Won't see them on the news, trump can't point at a guy playing guitar and call him dangerous.
This was the question in front of everybody eight months ago. The majority decided to stay home.
