Richard and Mildred Loving's marriage was deemed illegal because she was Black and Native American and he was white. Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court. And on June 12, 1967, the couple won. "Loving Day" celebrates the historic ruling. https://t.co/Gie3MFliTM

Today’s decision is fundamentally flawed, and we will be appealing it.

There is no sound basis in law, fact, or common sense for equating assault rifles with swiss army knives—especially on Gun Violence Awareness Day and after the recent shootings in CA. https://t.co/GDlzRP5RlA

Voter fraud is a myth peddled by a Republican minority to disenfranchise people of color.

New: The sheriff's official who said the Atlanta spa shooter had "a bad day" shared an image of T-shirts that said "Covid 19 IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA" on Facebook.

After @BuzzFeedNews asked about the shirt, the public post became unavailable.

Americans are standing together to #StopAsianHate. The office of CA Attorney General is uniquely positioned to help victims and empower AAPI communities. I join those calling on Gov. @GavinNewsom to appoint @RobBonta who has led on this issue.

A decision motivated by discrimination and xenophobia, the internment of Japanese Americans was a betrayal of our most sacred values as a nation that we must never repeat.

Today is hereby proclaimed as “A Day of Remembrance: Japanese American Evacuation."https://t.co/PsMSjlXk7T

Great visit to East Valley Community Health Center in West Covina this afternoon where their hardworking team administered the COVID-19 vaccine to residents who call West Covina and the San Gabriel Valley home.
