Look at his profile: not one original thought as long as he has held the account. Not the hallmark of a guy who would choose to have a good faith argument about the #FrenchLaundry incident.
Here is my "yes, I believe that The Sun rises in The East" statement: Newsom was horribly hypocritical having that dinner party. There is nothing good about it. It's a magnet for the criticism of right wing ideologues like the outgoing mayor of #SanDiego and others.
It is a distraction from the conduct each person needs to adhere to to slow the #COVID19Pandemic
ℹ️ wearing a mask over one's nose and mouth in public spaces
ℹ️ washing hands often
ℹ️ practicing all forms of social distancing
Obsessing over or making political hay of one bad event distracts other less disciplined Californians from those practices...
Even though @GavinNewsom took his eye off of the ball, he is the only governor California will have during the #CoronavirusPandemic. Pragmatic citizens understand that and expect him to never stumble like that again.
That also means not setting rocks for him to trip over.

here is the "yes,l agree that the sun rises in the east" disclaimer: no one should have to be shooting cops, cops shouldn't have to be shooting others (but there is a lot more to cops using deadly force)
But the way that @CBSNews@CBS8 & @nbcsandiego are covering the #ComptonShooting of LASD deputies lays bare broadcast #journalism's dependence on quick, easy content from reliable sources at the expense giving viewers a fuller context.
.@CHIRLA was one of many #immigrant/#refugee activist groups that I invited to participate in the @Vote_CNP conference last year in Santa Monica. I was trying to organize a participate in a round-table about what an effective and humane #immigration system would look like.
No organization local to L.A. responded with as much as a polite regret.
It is possible that an immigrant/refugee rights activist could make the CIM in to any kind of nefarious organization if they don't learn about what we are from our own writing and mouths. Chief among those myths is that the CIM is #whitesupremacist.
