Horrors — Newsom signs awful anti-family bills

Monday, October 13, 2025, 11:33 am | Randy Thomasson

I’m grieving over Gavin Newsom’s signing of AB 495 to let groomers take custody of children, erasing dads’ and moms’ God-given parental consent.

And I’m righteously angry that Newsom is lying again by claiming his signature on AB 495 will somehow “protect parents’ rights.”

Thank you if you called or emailed Newsom’s office to oppose AB 495 and other awful anti-family bills that SaveCalifornia.com targeted. We had to try, not knowing whether California’s Big Democrat governor would be politically astute and pragmatic, or veer even more to the left to satisfy his fleshy followers (he’s obviously chosen the latter).

Now we must inform people outside of California of the damage that presidential wannabe Gavin Newsom has done and would do nationwide.

See the worst anti-family bills signed into law, then share with others!

And Newsom calls AB 495 a “parents’ rights” bill!! Yet it’s the most anti-parent bill in California history. It’s truly evil.

On August 29, AB 495’s “nonrelative extended family member” was replaced with “relative caregiver,” defined as “affinity within the fifth degree of kinship” — which includes first cousins once-removed.

But which school or medical office will demand proof of someone posing as an “uncle,” “aunt,” or “cousin” — especially since this documentation is not easily accessible, and since AB 495 actually says schools and medical offices don’t need to inquire further.

Gavin Newsom’s signing of AB 495 means a groomer can fill out a 1-page form declaring he or she can take physical custody of a child, having the authority to determine the child’s residence, schooling, and “health care.”

The chronic liar he is, Newsom’s Oct. 12 news release is titled “Governor Newsom signs bill to protect parents’ rights and children.”

Newsom CLAIMS signing AB 495, “Helps protect parents’ legal rights and supports security for children in case they are separated from their parents due to immigration enforcement. This also supports parents’ rights in the context of a disability, military service and incarceration.”

But how can a 1-page form protect parental rights when schools and medical offices MUST RECOGNIZE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY of the 1-page declaration form — which includes a box that can be checked, stating, “I am unable to contact the parent(s) or other person(s) having legal custody of the minor at this time, to notify them of my intended authorization.”

Don’t believe Newsom’s lies. AB 495 permits legal kidnapping when parents aren’t there or aren’t looking.

No, Newsom DOES NOT think allowing males on females’ sports teams is “deeply unfair,” as he told Charlie Kirk.

On Oct. 11, Big Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom announced without comment that he had signed AB 932 by Democrat Party Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (and coauthored by 6 other Democrats + Republican Diane Dixon) to prohibit “gender” discrimination in school and city and county sports programs.

In the California statutes, “gender” means subjective “gender identity” and “gender expression.” As such, AB 932 clearly pushes transsexuality over people’s consciences, invades girls’ sports in particular, and opens the door to lawsuits against dissenters.

In sum, AB 932 tells public schools and city/county/special district sports facilities that biological males must be permitted to play on females’ teams and use females’ locker rooms and restrooms, and vice versa — or risk a private party lawsuit that aims to penalize Californians who support science and girls with financial damages.

The Legislative Counsel’s Digest describes AB 932, as last amended June 19, as prohibiting the following:

“This bill would instead prohibit a city, county, city and county, special district, school district, county office of education, or charter school from discriminating against a person on the basis of sex or gender in the operation, conduct, or administration of community youth athletics programs, or in the allocation of parks and recreation facilities and resources or school and recreation facilities and resources that support or enable these programs.”

The final floor votes on AB 932 were: State Senate (voting yes were all the Democrats; all the Republicans voted no or abstained); State Assembly (voting yes were nearly all of the Democrats + Republicans Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, and Jeff Gonzalez).

This is not OK!! Newsom has signed into law “trans” ID cards for kids!!!

AB 727 by homosexual-activist Democrat Party legislators will promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-transsexuality organization’s number to be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12 in California “public” schools (including “charter schools”) and at UC, CSU, and community colleges.

Amendments to AB 727 this summer inserted “LGBTQ+” on the ID cards to ensure children and collegians know this is an “LGBTQ+” group phone number, while removing private colleges from the bill.

Where does this “LGBTQ+ suicide hotline” phone number go?

Directly to The Trevor Project in West Hollywood, a pro-transsexuality group promoting sexual anarchy, permitting and enabling child predators, and hiding it all from parents.

In his Oct. 10 news release, Newsom claimed, “Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen for who they are. While some in Washington turn their backs on LGBTQ youth, California is choosing compassion over cruelty. AB 727 makes it clear: your identity doesn’t disqualify you from care and community – it’s exactly why we are fighting to make it easier to reach.”

But see these facts from a nationwide New Heritage Foundation study:

Youth Suicide Rates Are “SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER” in States Where Puberty Blockers, ‘Trans Drugs’ Are Easily Accessible For Children — The Gateway Pundit, 6/14/22

The study, which was conducted by Dr. Jay Greene, comes in response to a growing number of states and legislators who are pushing these damaging drugs – which have been traditionally used to chemically castrate sex offenders and pedophiles – as a solution to the skyrocketing suicide rate in the US that’s being driven by the left’s insane gender ideology.

But in reality, the ‘cure’ has done nothing but exasperate the problem – and Greene proves it by breaking the data down state by state.

Greene found that in states that allow minors to receive drugs like puberty blockers for gender affirmation, the rate of suicide among young people aged 12-23 is substantially higher (1.6 additional suicides per 100,000) than in states which do not allow easy access to these transgender drugs.

Additionally, when accounting for only the states that allow minors access to gender reassignment procedures without parental consent, the suicide rate gets even worse, ballooning to 3.5 additional suicides per 100,000 – a massive increase, when the baseline rate for youth suicide is 11.1 per 100,000.

California is the “puberty blocker” “leader.” Let that sink in.

Wait — what’s really inside this “combating antisemitism” bill Newsom signed on Oct. 10, and which nearly all Republican legislators FOOLISHLY supported?

The deceptive AB 715 (a product of the so-called “Diversity Caucus”) will be used as a hammer against conservative school boards by making Education Code, Section 220, which includes and promotes “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation” a huge eraser of anything in its path.

Here’s how AB 715 will implement this:

STEP 1: Transsexual “rights” are already in Education Code, Section 220, which prohibits “discrimination” of “gender, gender identity, gender expression … sexual orientation.”

STEP 2: AB 715 orders K-12 school governing bodies that they “shall not adopt or approve” any teachings that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination pursuant to section 220” (e.g., anything that offends “LGBTQIA+” activists)

STEP 3: Leftist lawsuits will use AB 715 to purge anything in K-12 government schools that offends “trans” activists, who have and will cry “discrimination” over real science and real history about human physiology, the natural family, and American history. AB 715 can erase it all.

Let no one be deceived… “LGBTQIA+” activists wanted AB 715 so they could sexually indoctrinate children all the more.

For AB 715 prohibiting any material that “would subject a pupil to unlawful discrimination” can subjectively lead to purging K-12 government schools of any teaching or depiction of man-woman marriage, boys growing up to be men, girls growing up to be women, the Christian foundation of Thanksgiving and of the United States of America, and more.

At its core, AB 715 would erase history and science for millions of California children.

What’s more, AB 715 pushes pro-“trans” “restorative justice practices,” where “restorative justice practitioners” make “offenders” take responsibility for their actions, to understand “the harm” they have caused, to give them “an opportunity to redeem themselves,” and to “discourage them from causing further harm.”

Again, please share the damage that Gavin Newsom, his Democrat Party politicians and their RINO allies do with people inside and outside California.

Lastly, I again implore you to rescue your children or grandchildren from anti-family, “woke,” “public” schools. For if not now, when? See how at our special site, RescueYourChild.com.

Karl Marx said as much in the Communist Manifesto of 1848, in which he called for the abolition of the family. The family was already absent among the proletariat, Marx and his co-author Friedrich Engels wrote, and among the bourgeoisie, the family was a mere “money relation.” Most importantly, Marx said that communism would ensure that children would be educated by the state and not by their parents. Communists, he wrote in the Manifesto, would “rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.” The making of the “New Man” was the priority, and the family was an obstacle. As soon as they won their first victory, in Russia in 1917, the communists now in power put into practice these policies. Alexandra Kollontai, the Soviet’s first People’s Commissar for Welfare, put it succinctly when she wrote, “The old family, narrow and petty, where the parents quarrel and are only interested in their own offspring, is not capable of educating the ‘new person’.” Soviet schools even encouraged students to snitch on their parents.

ALERT: Don’t want your free speech banned on social media? Act now!

Monday, September 29, 2025, 9:23 am | Randy Thomasson

It’s one of the worst attacks on constitutional free speech we’ve ever seen.

Please add your voice to others demanding a veto of the awful SB 771, which would blatantly ban conservative speech on social media platforms. Put the spotlight on presidential wannabe Gavin Newsom!

Newsom now says he’s against censorship, so urge him to veto SB 771 today!

1. Web form: Go to https://www.gov.ca.gov/contact, then select “Legislation Issues/Concerns,” then “Leave a Comment,” then select “Con,” then type a subject such as “Veto SB 771”, then type or paste in your message, then enter your contact information, then click “submit.”

2. Phone: Call (916) 445-2841 Monday-Friday 9am-5pm: Tell Newsom’s office you’re calling to urge Governor Newsom to “VETO SB 771. This is blatant, unconstitutional censorship.”

The text of SB 771 lists the kind of speech it would censor:

“anti-immigrant slurs”

“anti-LGBTQ+ disinformation and harmful rhetoric”

“anti-Islamic bias”

“coercive harassment”

“hate-motivated harm”

In other words, anything and everything the New Communist Democrats don’t want to see or hear, or whatever they don’t want the general public to know.

From the Daily Caller 9/24/25:

“If people think platforms remove their content too much now, they should expect to see the pattern significantly intensify with this law,” Shoshana Weissmann, director of digital media at the R Street Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Rather than risk liability for showing users content one could argue (even if it doesn’t actually) violate a law, platforms will over-moderate and remove posts in order to stay out of court.”

Weissman added that platforms may also find it challenging to differentiate sarcasm, serious posts and sincere discussions about sensitive subjects, adding that over-removing content will be the only way they will be able to avoid liability.

Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech.

ALERT: 2 anti-parent bills that Newsom could veto

Thursday, August 14, 2025, 11:54 am | Randy Thomasson

If enough concerned Californians — and even people outside of California — get on his case, I believe Big Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom could veto two atrocious, anti-family bills that could pass the Democrat-Party-controlled California State Legislature by the September 12 deadline.

AB 495 broadly permits ANYONE to take custody of and make school decisions and medical decisions for ANY child in California, behind the backs of parents. See more

AB 727 would promote transsexuality to millions of schoolchildren by requiring a pro-“trans” group’s phone number be imprinted upon all student ID cards in grades 7-12 in California “public” schools and at UC, CSU, and community colleges. See more

Stop and realize that Newsom, who’s indeed running for president in 2028, can’t afford to be branded nationally as an anti-parent kook. So please let him know you and your friends oppose these awful bills!

TAKE QUICK ACTION: Urge Gavin Newsom to veto AB 495 and AB 727.

To oppose AB 495, send this suggested message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 495. This bad bill is written so broadly, it would allow strangers, using a one-page form, to take physical custody of a child, move that child into their residence, decide the child’s schooling, and decide the child’s medical treatment — without any court oversight, background check, or verification with the child’s parent or legal guardian. Please veto this poorly-drafted bill threatening California parents and their children.”

To oppose AB 727, please send this separate message: “Governor Newsom, please veto AB 727. This invasive bill is not what parents want or children need. Mandating a transgender group’s phone number on student ID cards is inappropriate and offensive. The Trevor Project provides anonymous online forums for adult-child sex via its TrevorSpace chatrooms. AB 727 would drive a wedge between parents and their children — please veto this bad bill.”

3 ways to contact Newsom’s legislative staff:

  1. Web form: Click here, then select “Legislation Issues/Concerns,” then “Leave a Comment, ” then select “Con,” then paste in your message, then enter your contact information, then click “submit.”
  2. Phone: The Governor’s “constituent services” phones are answered by staffers who are paid to take your message. Call 916-445-2841 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Postal mail: You may write to Gov. Gavin Newsom, 1021 O Street, Suite 9000, Sacramento, CA 95814. Please put on the envelope and your letter, “Re: AB 495 — Veto This Anti-Parent Bill” or “Re: AB 727 — Veto This Bill Promoting Adult-Child Sex.”

The late James Q. Wilson, former professor of government at Harvard University, once said, “It is not money, but the family that is the foundation of public life. As it has become weaker, every structure built upon that foundation has become weaker.” Peter H. Schuck, professor emeritus at Yale Law School, adds, “the family is the essential core of any society, and the steady decline of two-parent households is probably the single most consequential social trend of the half-century.”
