Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state.

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.

    So you’ll help Vance get elected to prevent newsome from getting elected, and this benefits you how? This benefits queer people how? You must be really fuckin smart because that’s some trump level 5d chess logic.

        Where did I say that? I said that if it’s between Newsom and Vance then Vance cannot win, republicans must lose at any cost because they are an existential threat to the fuckin planet. Voting probably won’t matter anyway with the fix but we’re way fuckin past the point of protest voting.

          Things only said by people whose memory is short enough that they don’t remember Pelosi derisively dismissing the “Green Dream or Whatever”. Both parties are beholden to Wall St money, and that money makes them incapable of acting on climate change or any other existential threat that generates profits for Wall St.
