In fact don't even utter the word "white" if you're nonwhite because that's racist.20 Aug 2025 00:44 +0000at://did:plc:eisf2l266erln7r2wk72ps5b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lws74pi3tk24https://bsky.app/profile/cathyparkhong.bsky.social/post/3lrhcvfggjs2mWhat I like about Newsom is that he says exactly what I say about T rather than the watered down bullshit we usually hear from Dems.
