Text of Gavin Newsom's speech. Upon rehearing it, it's the verbal shot heard around the world.

I used to drive past Lexington Green on the way home from work.
This speech is historic in its scope and timeliness.

1. Agreed!

Good speech. Stepping up to the moment.

2. This is the Gavin whom all of us Californians have always known

that the right wing noise machine has been desperately trying to silence and discredit over the past several years.

He's a badass who scares the living shit out of trump and the maga cult.

3. Thank you

I had read bits and pieces but not everything.

As a party, I believe we must put our differences aside and speak with one voice.

Jest my two cents.
