Dear @GavinNewsom I sit here realizing that you are spending every day, fighting to keep your job, and the career you’ve built. You are trying to make the case that you should keep your job, and that’s a pretty terrible feeling. 1/
The irony is not lost on me that in early 2020, I was one of thousands of California freelancers, calling your office and the offices of my assembly person and senator, asking for help to keep my own livelihood, one I’d worked to build over a period of years, harmed by #AB5 2/
I called daily, wrote letters, took meetings with lawmakers explaining my #smallbusiness And while I got some sympathetic listening, there was no action taken to help professionals like myself from being cast aside. Frustrating as heck. 3/
BREAKING: While the D-list @CNET reporter wanted to paint me as part of a collusive and well-paid campaign, it is a whole bunch of other folks who are targeting Van Laar, Kira Davis, and little 'ole me. /1
Now what did I ever do to you except tell you that your #AB5 law is garbage and so is your humanity, @veenadubal, @LorenaSGonzalez?
Tell your friends they need to expand their vocabulary.

@jenvanlaar is about to blow this wide open. I'm here with the 🍿! /end

After yesterday's #RepealAB5 vote, I wanted to share the names of some Legislators who were there on the floor but did something worse than vote against the repeal, THEY REFUSED TO VOTE AT ALL. Thread coming.
First up is @ChristyforCA25! We all remember Christy for voting twice for #AB5, only to go down in flames during her Congressional run. She's running again, so the community needs to remind her again why she lost.
Next, we have @VoteCottie, the freshman Orange County Assemblywoman locked in a tight reelection race, time to send someone to Sacramento to vote, not take walks on votes!
THREAD (1/5): Yesterday @KevinKileyCA introduced an amendment to #RepealAB5 for non-rideshare companies and individuals. I was deeply disappointed that his efforts were unsuccessful. Here are my thoughts:

(2/5) The backlash to this law has been bipartisan, widespread, and well-documented. Dozens of exceptions, fixes, and clean-up bills have not solved the basic problem: this law does much more harm than good.

(3/5) I challenge my fellow Democrats to listen and lead. Our super-majority has made it too easy to eliminate voices of opposition and, in this case, reason. We are the party of inclusion, but we have shut out voices of disagreement to the detriment of millions.

According to the site, glassdoor.com. An associate professor at .@UCHastingsLaw like .@VeenaDubal earns between $147,000-211,000 a year, and can earn cash bonuses of $15,000-17,000 annually. 1/
This does not include any earnings from articles, media appearances, and writing "scholarship" that elected officials use to change policy and control people's lives. 2/
I'm all about capitalism, but is it right for unelected officials to be this well paid while destroying other's ability to get paid and control their own livelihoods? Who gave them such rights? Why does .@UCHastingsLaw give them a platform and power? /3 #RepealAB5

"...where and with whom we choose to contract, and under what terms, as long as it’s legal. This ( #AB5) is a 19th century response to a 21st century economy. If the idea is to go after companies exploiting part-time workers, then punish the companies. 3/5 #RepealAB5
