Governor Newsom Press Office
@GovPressOffice

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING-AND I AGREE — THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (AMERICA'S FAVORITE GOVERNOR) DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE "MOST INCREDIBLE MAPS IN THE HISTORY OF MAPPING" (EVEN COLUMBUS). THESE MAPS WILL END THE "VERY RIGGED" ELECTIONS, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA!!!), RETAKE CONGRESS "FOR THE PEOPLE", AND SAVE DEMOCRACY. NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE THIS CERTAINLY NOT THE "SELF-PROCLAIMED" MASTER DEALMAKER DONALD "TACO" TRUMP (TINY HANDS) WHO MISSED "THE DEADLINE" AND LOST (SAD!). PEACE THROUGH MAPS - NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE. I AM THE "PEACE TIME" GOVERNOR NOW, STOPPING "POLITICAL WARS" BEFORE THEY START. HARMONY, UNITY, EVEN LOVE. THE NOBEL COMMITTEE HAS GIVEN THIS AWARD TO LESSER PEOPLE FOR MUCH LESS. I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, ACTUALLY EARNED IT. THE WORLD WILL BE SAFER, KINDER, AND FRANKLY MORE "BEAUTIFUL" BECAUSE OF MY MAPS. GIVE GAVIN THE NOBEL, MANY ARE SAYING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! - GCN

Someone is having so much fun coming up with these. I love the "thank you for your attention to this matter." Trump and internet scammers are the only ones I see using that phrase.

My Facebook feed is filled with pictures of the woman heading up his social media team; I have of course forgotten her name at the moment, but I will say the tactic is brilliant.

It also notes that the team consists of just 3 people, and they use a variety of tactics; the best known so far is to shoot out Tweets (I know, I know) in ALL CAPS as the toddling TiC does talking about how Newsome deserves the Nobel Prize or some other nonsense, ending with “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER” and similar. Brilliant, and funny too.

Other times they will take a picture of Newsome (well, AI generate a picture) of him handcuffing a masked kidnapper, or maybe puncturing a tire on an ICE van or similar, and caption it with {“So is this how it’s done, MAGA?”)

It’s guerilla media, and it’s funny and attention getting. It sails right over the heads of MAGA, of course but you’re not going to convince them of anything without an AK-47 held on their family anyway, so why not?

It’s definitely creating a buzz for Newsome, which positions him for a Presidential run ahead of all other Democrats for 2028, assuming we get there.

Here’s an Axios story about it, for those who care to read further:

Someone is having so much fun coming up with these…

https://www.calonews.com/featured-topics/media/the...

Funny story- I saw the article linked yesterday, but today, news stories are back to “Newsom’s staff”. One even apologized for identifying the individual named, before “correcting” with the information that coming up with those tweets was a team effort that involved multiple members of the staff.

Could have been Newsom, or it could have been Camille herself who pushed that correction to the record.

Regardless, it’s good to see an organization that subjects itself to the principle that it says it believes. For Newsom, that’s summed up in his oft repeated:

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together

On the one hand, we have the image of Donald Trump, sitting alone on his golden throne at 2 am, madly tweeting in all caps.

On the other, we have the image of a team, sitting around a conference table, collectively coming up with good parody…… and having an uproarious time as they do.

Two images. Contrasting images. It’s a shame that we’ve come to this- driving political messaging by creating images, but it’s good to see that at least Newsom seems to be enforcing his among his own people.

If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together

Or, if you please….It takes a village…..

This is the sort of spirit that drives a successful political movement in the long history of democratic rule.

And if you want to go to Hell, join the Trump admin.

Ah, today’s is a picture of Newsom at a podium, supposedly saying (in a Fox News caption):

“And in addition to new maps, we’re changing the official name of the state to
Donald Trump Is In the Epstein List - fornia.”

In the same vein and same respect for factual reality, our governor (“That woman in Michigan”) is changing the name of our state to “Trump just sold out Ukraine to Putin-igan”

Vladimir Putin has demanded Ukraine withdraw from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as a condition for ending Russia’s war but told Donald Trump he could freeze the rest of the frontline if his core demands were met.

The Russian leader made the request during his meeting with Trump in Alaska on Friday, according to four people with direct knowledge of the talks.

Trump then communicated that message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders in a call on Saturday, during which he urged them to drop efforts to secure a ceasefire from Moscow.

Zelensky and Europe should tell Trump to shove it. I know they can't, but I wish they could.
