The announcement follows Newsom’s 2024 executive order, which directed encampment cleanups after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling granted state and local governments more authority to remove them.

    Something I don’t think a lot of people realize is that Lincoln was a pretty shitty dude. Modern leftists would crucify him. He had a pretty shitty opinion on civil rights and only put an end to slavery so the fighting would end.

        So what if I am? Do you actually know much about Lincoln, or just the simplified version they fed you in 3rd grade? I’m not saying Newsom is Lincoln or that this means he should be president, that’s not the point. The point is that even someone widely regarded as one of the “best” presidents is remembered mostly for a single policy, and even that didn’t go far enough on civil rights.

          Sounds to me like you’re saying that anything newsom does that was acceptable in the 1860s is perfectly fine.
