#GavinNewsom

I don’t understand what Newsom is doing. Is he setting himself up as a shadow candidate in case a Biden replacement is (unlikely) needed? If he would outright support and campaign for Biden, we’d have this in the bag.

Wow Gavin, you suck. You don't even have a ~clue~ who this is, just like every other DNC Propped Up Democrat. I'm one of your constituents in California, and I'm not happy about it. You have some kind of nerve asking me for money. You haven't even passed a single good policy for the entire time you have been in office that would actually help the poor people of California. In fact, where were you when the State supposedly declared an emergency for the 8 feet of snow we got here and all the damage it caused. The roads are STILL not replaced and we're just about due for another storm this upcoming winter. I wasn't the only person who had roof damage and got denied by FEMA for any help at all. That's not to mention all the good bills that crossed your desk that you vetoed such as Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), Medicare-for-All (CalCare), Decriminalizing Psilocybin Mushrooms, and it's no secret that you hate the homeless, poor, and disabled, when you kicked everyone off Medi-Cal that had it, and forced us onto an HMO for-profit plan because you are one of the largest recipients of money from Insurance Companies and the Medical (For-Profit) Industrial Complex.  To put it short, you're rich, corrupt, and just like a younger version of ultra-conservative Joe Biden. You are also a staunch supporter of war in Ukraine and Israel and would rather give them an endless supply of money and weapons, than you would think to even care about the most needful Californians, and [not] taking care of

The law, which affects popular products like #Skittles, addresses health concerns similar to #EU standards, aiming for improved public health safety. Implementation will begin in 2027, potentially influencing nationwide product formulations due to California's economic impact.

I’m so pissed that Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill banning caste-based discrimination.

This is the definition of a Pyrrhic victory. “Hindu” lobby groups have convinced the public and politicians that Hinduism is inherently bigoted:

“But opponents of the bill said it unfairly targets Hindus because caste is a part of their religion. “

The point above seems to have passed some people by, so let me clarify: we have increasingly more fascists running as Democrats, and some of them are *very popular* Democrats, despite being, at heart, fucking #fascists. See #GavinNewsom not signing a bill to pay unemployment to striking workers because "there's no money for that" right after "investing" over a quarter billion dollars on cops to persecute homeless people.

This thread by Alec Karakatsanis is full of receipts of frankly alarming behavior from California's Democratic Governor, #GavinNewsom; given that he has presidential ambitions, it's really worth paying attention to all the #fascist shit he endorses--especially when it comes to "crime".

In the past few months we've seen THREE high profile Democrats switch parties as soon as they've won an election, lets try to avoid that shit:
https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1708100878798872774

Beginning of thread mentioned in my post:
The recent behavior of Gavin Newsom on the issue of homelessness is among the most alarming things I've seen from a Democratic party politician in recent years. If you haven't been following, I collect four examples here,

First, he recently spoke openly about how he was so mad about federal judges protecting the constitutional rights of homeless people that he thought about doxing the personal contact information of judges so mobs of angry people could intimidate them.

Quoted tweet (beginging of a thread) dated August thread, by Alec Karakatsanis:
Yesterday, the sitting governor of California, a Democrat, was so angry that judges applying basic constitutional principles wouldn't let armed government agents clear homeless people off the street that he began talking about inciting vigilante mobs against the judges
/end quoted tweet (includes screenshots from news outlets)
Continuation of thread linked to in my post:
Second, he is trying to get the right wing of the Supreme Court to overturn a bedrock constitutional principle in order to permit the government to put homeless people in cages for simply existing on the street *even when there's no shelter space*

Quoted tweet by Alec Karakatsanis dated September 28:
The legal issue here is whether the government can put human beings in cages for living on the street "even if there is no available shelter" Pretending this barbaric attempt to criminalize the poor is new or a "rare" agreement between political parties is a lie
/end quoted tweet (includes screenshot from a headline in the New York Times reading: "In rare alliance, Democrats and Republicans seek legal power to clear homeless camps"
Continuation of thread linked in my post:

Existing law, which outrages Newsom, is government can jail people for being on the street, but only if there's available shelter such that people are choosing to be on street instead of shelter. If people have nowhere to go, the courts said it's unconstitutional to cage them.

Third, Newsom quietly did something remarkable. He created an entire new court bureaucracy in California, marketed with the acronym CARE, that seeks to dramatically expand the power and capacity of courts to coerce treatment of mentally ill people.

Quoted tweet beginning a thread, by Alec Karakatsanis, dated September 7, 2022:
California politicians are about to complete an epic charade, called "CARE Court" which stands for Community Assistance Recovery and Empowerment Court. It's a story not getting enough attention.
/end quoted tweet

Continuation thread linked in my post:
Incredibly, this massive new initiative targeting homeless people with mental illness does not provide any new housing or any new mental health services.
End of thread linked in my post:
Fourth, after stoking fear of homeless people shoplifting, Newsom announced what he billed as the largest ever single investment in police to target them.

Quoted thread by Emily Hoeven, dated September 12 2023:
New: Gavin Newsom says California is poised to make largest-ever single investment to combat organized retail threft: $267 million to 55 law enforcement agencies.
/end quoted tweet

End of thread linked in my post:
At a time of rising authoritarianism, the thread people like Newsom post is extraordinary. Not only is the content of what he is saying monstrous, but the moment in which he is saying it is one of great peril for a society struggling to maintain basic democratic values.

"We shined a light on a long-hidden form of discrimination thousands of years old, invisible shackles on the wrist of millions of people," said Ms Wahab, who is the first Muslim and Afghan-American woman elected to the state legislature…

“Some Hindu groups argued the caste system is not a serious issue in North America.

“Some Dalit (formerly untouchables) activists have dismissed those claims, saying they have experienced discrimination from people of a privileged caste.

“In 2020, the technology company Cisco was sued by the state after two high-caste Indian managers allegedly discriminated against a Dalit engineer, paying him a lower salary.”
