In the article about prison transfers to ICE
CDCR documents recently obtained under public records laws by the ACLU of Northern California show that in just two months last year California turned over 200 people to ICE after they’d served their time in prison.
I’m only getting started going through all your links, and this one already has me pissed off

iirc couple of the guys here were from CA and got deported after serving time
edit: maybe i'm misremembering, but it's a similar situation
he hunts the most dispossessed game - homeless people, and been filing amicus briefs for today's decision to fine them at sc
95% of the US would never vote for a Democratic California governor that looks like he was grown in a Nappa Valley wine cave.
It means Dictatorship of the proleteriat as opposed to the Dicatorship of the bourgeious most of the world lives under.
I just wanted to add to what the others said that, in Marxism, "dictatorship" is used to refer to a class having near-total control over a society, which has been the case for most societies since late pre-history.
So Gavin is a California Democratic party machine baby. Which means that he is essentially a Republican, but used to say he felt bad about having to dispossess the homeless, and won't outright say that trans people need to shut and commit suicide already. And this is besides cozying up to literal techno-fascists.
On the dimly bright-side, the California Democratic party machine is a very different animal (because California is essentially it's own country) than the DNC/DC party machine. For example, while many DNC-based Democrats are very heavy on their China-bad rhetoric, Newsom is not because California thrives off of trade with China. Besides the fact that California is loathed by the populace of almost every other state (for good and bad reasons), that would be the only other reason they wouldn't choose him, because he does have his own independent power base that exists outside of the DNC circle-jerk.
Cons: Piece of shit liberal.
Pros: Knows where he is for at least 20 hours out of the day, doesn't have a voting history of opposing the civil rights movement.
pro +: actively used the power of his office as mayor of san francisco to engage in civil disobedience as city policy to further enable civil rights.
con -: corporate liberal through and through with a voting record to prove it.
He's a piece of trash. I hate him so much. He's the exact same type of person who came into the luxury grocery store I worked at every single day during the covid quarantine.
During his tenure as mayor of San Francisco, he signed the city’s incredibly stupid sit-lie ordinance into law.
hes not a household name, really bad for labor, hates the poors and knows hes better than us (french laundry), has a slimeball vibe and is also unmarried.

The main way to do this is by reasoning at a systemic rather than a biographical level
I think he’s more likely to beat Trump than people think. I know “California bad” is strong with Americans but Americans are also shallow and a younger good-looking guy who behaves like a good liberal has a much better shot at winning.
Newsom could easily win just by pointing out that there’s no such thing as an unhappy Californian homeowner, so vote for him and every homeowner will be rich.
If California had an ID and that ID had shitloads of plastic surgery that looked really good but was still not how baseline humans look it'd be Newsome.
