Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Legislature back to the Capitol for a special session to bolster civil liberties, reproductive rights and environmental protections.
Oh yeah, and after that he had the church of scientology throwing a parade of women at him to see if one would stick.
He’s the textbook old money nepobaby and while I have no qualms about his competence (they prepared him for big money politics extremely well) I don’t think he’s the change the working class wants to see in America. He certainly hasn’t brought much change to CA outside of funding primary education. We haven’t even begun to tackle living conditions for the bottom 80% here, he’s just a less bad option than whatever unpopular Republican ends up running against him. All of the social reform that actually works (boosting minimum wage, providing single payer healthcare, running cooperative local utilities or tackling corruption) is happening at the city and county level or as a ballot proposition. There’s resistance from Sacramento when anyone brings these up as statewide policies.
