6 days agoHe’s threatening to redistrict California in response to Republican Leaders gerrymandering Texas
He states he has found a way to gerrymander California to eliminate 5 Republican seats whilest abiding by the Voting Rights Act
He has held multiple press conferences and public appearances drawing attention to this
This tweet is about - and part of - this effort to draw national attention to gerrymandering
It’s too soon to say if he’ll follow through with his threat, but he’s done a lot.
I don’t like Newsome, but respect this - don’t just shit on it. This is the action you’re asking for
There is so much toxicity in this it’s hard to know where to start
First of all, all disabilities are a spectrum, they effect people with different severities. One person might be ‘functional’ with depression, another literally not.
Some people with chronic pain, physical vulnerabilities and weaknesses etc can still work, other are bedbound.
Do you think that bedbound disabled people just ‘laze around’ all day?
Are you really so goddamn privileged and dense that you think disabilities are 'all in [people’s] head? Or is it just mental disabilities?
Or are you like, doing the 1950s thing of ‘depression isn’t real just cheer up’?
And this excess wealth bullshit? Are you advocating for a system that leaves people to starve if they can’t work? Is disability welfare a bad thing to you?
Never mind that there’s a huge issue with disabled people having higher expenses because of relying on deliveries etc. Fuck them, right?
You’ve basically replied to a bedbound disabled person to tell them that theyre just a lazy privileged rich slob who’s making it all up, and I think that’s fucked
