He *ALSO* vetoed SB403, the anti-caste-based discrimination bill. Did he decide that the evil going on in Israel meant that no-one would notice if he got up to some evil here in California?
Fuck Gavin Newsom.
Fuck Gavin Newsom.
I mean, so is Scott Wiener, but in this particular case, Newsom's definitely Asshole Of The Day.
I’m starting to think this Gavin Newsom guy might be an asshole.

I’m heartbroken to see Newsome veto #sb403 & spout Hindu nationalist organizations’ talking points in his statement. His craven dependence on anti-labor lobbyists & dependence on Silicon Valley Hindu supremacist funding make him a terrible future pres. candidate.

Thrilled to see #SB403 pass in California banning caste-based discrimination! All credit to the organizing efforts of Dalit and Bahujan activists who made this possible.

Apparently @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's veto of #SB403 was more about his presidential run than it was about protecting workers.

The California Coalition for Caste Equity is hunger striking for the freedom of our caste-oppressed people. We're counting on @GavinNewsom to publicly lend his voice in support of #SB403. Thank you, Governor Newsom, for your history of standing up for vulnerable communities.

I don't know what his motivations are.
He seems a bit naive, and seemed to genuinely believe that having EBE write legislation for him was done in good faith, maybe.
I was more taken aback by this one. And so was DSA. This is where I wrote him off.
