Taken together, SB 9 and Proposition 3 illuminate a two-pronged effort to stiffen pretrial detention: They simultaneously tighten the money-bail pathway for some offenses, while widening the menu of cases where people can be held without bail at all.
I'm all for it! ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ
Thereโs a GoFundMe for Jonathan Rossโs legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Our family of four is coming from Oregon and we can't wait! See you there! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Thank you for doing what is right and important. I hope you sleep well tonight.
I understand that there's a bunch of new people around ... perhaps a starter pack or four will help get people tuned into the ska resources we have have here (and for those that see this, reposting this thread might help .... hint, hint).

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. Heโs coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people donโt laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.
BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.
This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.
Dear god. WT actual F.
Quote from Jane Goodall: "You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
Quote from Jane Goodall, from The Book of Hope: "The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves."
Quote from Jane Goodall, from 40 Years at Gombe: "How is it possible that the most intellectual creature to ever walk planet Earth is destroying its only home?"
Farewell Jane Goodall. We were lucky to have you fighting for so many years. Rest in Power. โ
(above an image of Capitol Hill) We're in a government shutdown because Republicans demand a budget that kicks millions off their healthcare and jacks up prices for the rest of us. And the GOP is willing to hold government funding hostage until Trump gets his way.
