Assembly Bill 2164 authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) would have prohibited California’s governor from recognizing a request for extradition of a person related to their providing a legally protected healthcare activity in the Golden State to transgender individuals, or if they provide reproductive services. It provided certain exemptions, such as an extradition required by federal law.

    He wants to be your president, wooooo! Asshole. Tried to force state workers back to the office, too.

    But I was told that voting Blue No Matter Who was the way to protect my trans friends, now what do I do? /S

    Dearest ShitLibs: as of today, September 23, you have 160 days remaining to find a candidate to nominate who isn’t a genocidal ghoul and won’t throw trans people under the bus. If you can’t manage that, then you don’t get to pretend like the people who’ve been saying this for a decade now are somehow betraying you and the nation by not voting for whatever Wall St friendly monster you’ve allowed your party to nominate.

        As a leftist, I would vote for him for the same reason I’d vote for Hilary Clinton. To prevent the Republicans from taking over. That’s about it.

            If Hilary had won, we would still have pro choice rights along with ALL the other awful decisions th 6-3 majority has made.

            Not the same at all.

          As a leftist, he’s the same as voting for right wing if he’s not a queer ally. I don’t give a shit about muh economee or gas. We can easily crash the economy by rejecting consumerism to make the capital class suffer.

          If he’s against vulnerable groups, he’s a fascist like the rest.

              No the furher won because people weren’t willing to stand up to him across the board. They appeased and compromised.

              A liberal democracy focused on money cannot stop the rising tide of fascism. History proves this.

              It’s not your privileged body being sold out for votes.

            Who says he’s not a queer ally? I’ve seen him say and do plenty of things that are pro lgbtq. He disagrees with you on one issue and loses all credibility? This is how you lose allies and give power to people that genuinely want what’s worse for you.

              He’s already thrown trans people under the bus. If it’s him or Vance I’m voting for him, but if you’re willing to sacrifice trans kids you’re not an ally. He’s not an ally.

              A sell out to the queer community will absolutely negotiate with fascists to maintain their power, if they’re willing to do it while seeking power.

              A true leader of character has a spine and is willing to fight for the rights of vulnerable populations and refuse any notions of taking their rights. I don’t care how many neat things he’s said before. He’s backtracked like every other slimy politician and can no longer be trusted.

              He’s only a queer ally when it’s convenient for him to be one.

              Stop. Trying. To. Appeal. To. Fascists. It’s like people completely fail at learning from history.

                Or maybe he just disagrees with you on this one issue. I don’t think the Trans community has done a good enough job convincing people why they’re right. Which is why over the past few years polling data, even amongst democrats, is moving away from the Trans community.

                  why they’re right

                  About what? Our existence? That we should be given the same rights, privileges, and privacy as any other group of people?

                  Polling is showing that people increasingly succumb to conservative rhetoric and agree that we’re subhuman, second-class citizens. It does not show that we actually deserve that treatment.

                  The trans community just wants to be treated like human beings and not have their rights to their bodies stripped away. How is that not convincing? What more of an explanation do people need?

                  If the Dem community is drifting away, it’s because someone is enabling their latent transphobia.

    He also vetoed telework protections for us state workers and we are on the verge of a strike because his admin has returned our union’s proposals with… ZERO. Literally, NOTHING. Their response to our demands in union negotations was ‘how about nothing, instead?’

    He has clearly become red-pilled, idk what’s wrong with him but the most cynical interpretation would be money, stupidest interpretation would be he thinks this will help him become president.

      On that note, when I see news covering Cali state worker telework, they love to go to the streets and find everyone they can to interview who’s attitude seems to be “fuck you, I can’t work from home so you shouldn’t either”

      I can’t help but feel like that’s intentional to turn people against remote workers

      I mean… Even if they’re just selfish assholes, do they not get that traffic is getting worse again because agencies and businesses are forcing return to office? That more people working remote is actually good for people who can’t for whatever reason too?

      Sorry, tangent; but GN’s attitude on this has yet another incredibly frustrating and bad bit of policy from him

      I really hope he doesn’t run for president, and if he does, that he gets shut down early in the primary.

        It’s so funny I met a friend of a friend the other day and telework came up and she said ‘and I bet other people say, we can’t do it so u guys shouldn’t either!’ I laughed it off. Awhile later I asked her what she does for work and she said ‘state worker’ LOL

        Ya its hard to say what the whole population thinks of course but I hope some ppl realize if we get a win on this their chances improve. Most office workers don’t have the luxury of a union but if we get a win and start peeling off talent, the chances private sector embraces goes up!

        As for GN I hope someday we figure out the real reason behind his sudden turn because even the most cynical political motives don’t make a lot of sense. He is largely disliked in Cali from what I can tell, if he were to run for prez someday I’m not even sure he could get Cali in the primaries so why burn all state workers? We’re not a huge percentage of state residents but he’s not only shooting himself in the foot with us but our kids are future voters, there’s City and county employees and UC families… It just seems incredibly stupid.

    We can’t let him win the primaries. He’s probably the one candidate who could keep any Democrats home.
