1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.

It's so much worse than being reported.

Called in and it was easier than expected. Took less than five minutes and feels great to call this asshole out on their bs.

i’m about to leave the most professional sounding “fuck you” message in existence

I’ve never done this before what should we say?

Also this is an important thing that I forgot when I called! But it's ok to mess up and call back to add to what you say. I'm going to be doing that tomorrow.

There are much more educated ppl out there for advice, but as someone who doesn't do this often I said that I was really upset with Newsom pivoting after being supportive on transgender issues and that siding with stuff like the sports ban is historically a slippery slope to more extreme things.

Makes sense, if I’m just getting beeping on the line when I try to call the number does that mean I’m doing something wrong or are they just busy?

(Sorry to pester but this id important and I want to do it right)

No worries! I am new to this too.

I think that just means the line is busy. When I called it had an automation asking what language I wanted and then another one asking if I wanted to talk to a representative, and then asked me to push another button to leave a message for opinions.

So I'd just keep calling, especially since you just have to get to the message machine and not a person.

Got it! I’ll keep trying!

Also I am not used to doing things like this and my boyfriend listened to what I said and told me that you should specifically say you're a constituent of Newsom. I didn't do that cuz I got nervous so make sure you don't make the same mistake 😭 imma call and do better tomorrow.
