California news ! Gavin Newsom has VETOED AB957. Could it be because of a possible race ? Could be be using this to send a message he’s a “moderate”. Who knows, but for now we take this win and we continue to press on with full engagement in politics. Thank you to everyone who has called and participated… keep going ! We have two more bills

🚨 BREAKING: In a completely unexpected move, Gavin Newsom has VETOED AB 957, the California bill that would remove children from their parents’ custody who do not medically “affirm” them.
This is a huge win and we can’t believe it’s at the hands of Newsom. It will now be left to individual judges.
We are disappointed and disheartened by Governor Newsom’s decision to veto #AB957. We are grateful to @AsmLoriDWilson for her unwavering commitment to the needs of transgender and gender non-conforming young people - until the work is done🏳️⚧️

🧵 Since @GavinNewsom thinks we're stupid or have no memory, here's a refresher of his autocratic, illogical, unscientific power grabs during COVID. In no particular order:
1) After his French Laundry incident, ordered a "nightly curfew" for 90% of CA

This is California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco)
A bill he passed:
SB 145 (2020)- removed requirement for offenders to register as a sex offender after committing certain sex acts with minors within a 10-year age difference.
I had to make sure Google knew I wasn’t a robot. 😉
There’s a club see and you ain’t in it.

Puberty is not a choice or a medical condition. It is a necessary part of life that every human must go through naturally to develop into healthy adults.
There is no such thing as "pausing" it. The damage done by chemical castration drugs given to children is irreversible.

This really isn't hard: if you put males in female prisons, females will be sexually assaulted, regularly and repeatedly.
It is the definition of "cruel and unusual punishment" (and is in direct contravention of both the Geneva Conventions for prisoner handling and the UN rules for handling female prisoners) to lock females into cells with males and not even give them a chance to remove themselves from the situation or defend themselves.
How the fuck did we get to a place where governments all over the world are proudly and openly breaking international human rights laws just to protect th feelings of a few entitled men?
What absurdist logic brought us to the point where we can say "men should never be in women's prisons, except when they claim to be women, and we can never question their claim"?
If you can't see yet that this is a misogynistic mens rights movement that directly attacks the rights of women and girls, it's because you don't want to see it.
If you still support this, you might want to take a hard look in the mirror, because you're on the wrong side of history and it REALLY won't look good if you're still there when this whole disgusting edifice collapses.
