In a passionate address, California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump, labeling him a dictator and expressing concern over his deployment of troops to California amid protests. Newsom asserted that Trump's actions represent a broader threat to democracy, cautioning that California’s situation could be a precursor to similar actions in other states. He encouraged citizens to exercise their rights peacefully and resist the president's attempts at silencing dissent. Newsom emphasized that the anxiety felt by many people should not lead to compliance with Trump's demands.
What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.
California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.
