Summary
Following Trump’s re-election, Democratic leaders in blue states are preparing to resist his second-term agenda, focusing on issues like abortion access, immigration, civil rights, and climate action.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special session to “Trump-proof” the state, while Illinois and Colorado governors launched a coalition to defend state institutions against authoritarianism.
State attorneys general are readying legal challenges, citing a conservative judiciary and a more prepared Trump team.
Democrats also aim to lead grassroots resistance, with activists urging bold state-level protections amid fears of federal overreach.
Don’t forget to invest on disaster protection as Trump will just let blue states die.
Is this performative or an actual strategy?

In other words, theatrics with no substance.
Yes. If you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, it will be theatrics in one direction and substance in the other.
Maybe they’ll sing Imagine.
Edit: Actually since it’s resistance they’ll sing like Tubthumping or something “i get knocked down, but i get up again”

Maybe tulsi will go blue again.
The gay bashing Russian asset who will shortly have top secret access to all of our intelligence services? Nah…
Bless their hearts.
But it’s time for the serious people to get involved.
Cute.
Oh you sweet summer children. Bless your hearts.
A little late and early for much but words but we’ll be watching
Don’t stop a damn thing, put a billboard up for every victim.
Empty words from scum Newsom, the tormentor of the homeless and needy.
yes, lets further divide what’s left of the US. /s
My life is on a trajectory to homelessness with disability and a system that refuses to help me. This is me, in the future, being traumatized, abused, and dying in a gutter somewhere while being criminalized because a political refugee from the other side of the world had to have a driver’s license but had the cognitive capacity of a third grader. I was just commuting to work on a bicycle, a racer, upper middle class guy, working in a chain of high end bike shops. I’m you on an extremely unlucky day. You’re only one bad day away from this exact same issue.
I hate to bring it to this… but.
Did you vote for kamala?
