Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It takes courage to be yourself, no matter who you are.
On Transgender Day of Visibility, California sees and celebrates trans communities across the state — and we recommit to protecting your fundamental rights and your safety.
We’re proud to have recently secured a ruling ensuring the Trump Admin’s Kennedy Declaration cannot be used to strip away transgender individuals’ access to gender-affirming care.
At CA DOJ, we remain committed to fighting for LGTBQ+ rights and freedoms this #TransDayofVisibility and every day.
That means civil lawsuits can move forward. The court also rejected Trump’s First Amendment defense and blocked a DOJ effort that could have shielded him from liability.

Today, the court denied the Trump Administration’s attempt to block California from requiring law enforcement officers, including federal agents, to identify themselves by agency and badge number.
🚨REMINDER: California local and state police have authority to investigate potential crimes committed by federal agents.
@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov support state and local agencies’ authority to conduct concurrent investigations of incidents involving federal officers.

That empathy extended well beyond his films. Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights — from taking on Big Tobacco, fighting for marriage equality, to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works.
Today, for the first time in six months, Angelenos are living without the National Guard unlawfully deployed in their city.
Our team fought tirelessly against President Trump’s unlawful attempts to militarize American cities, and while the fight is not over, this is a step in the right direction.
