Team: Governor Gavin Newsom isn't holding back against Trump:

"This is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism… we cannot let it stand." -- Governor Gavin Newsom

He’s right.

This is what dictatorship looks like:

→ A president threatening to arrest elected officials.
→ Deploying the military into U.S. cities without consent.
→ Demanding blind loyalty or face the consequences.

And let’s be clear: it won’t stop with California. Trump is testing how far he can go — and every time we stay silent, he pushes further.

We’re sounding the alarm, exposing Trump’s abuses, and rallying the nation to defend what’s left of our democracy. But we cannot do it without grassroots support — especially right now.

🔥 We’re launching an emergency digital response campaign to support Democratic governors and fight back against Trump’s creeping authoritarianism. But we need $50,000 by midnight to fund it.

Can you pitch in $20 (or whatever you can) right now to help defend democracy — before it’s too late?

YES — I’LL HELP STOP TRUMP »

If we let this moment pass without fighting back, we send a dangerous message: that Trump’s authoritarian agenda is acceptable.

DO NOT stand for it.
