There is a large and looming backlog of court cases keeping San Franciscans in jail for years without seeing a trial. We’re in conversation with SF Public Defender Mano Raju to discussing how overdue misdemeanor cases are keeping people in pre-trial detention despite the District Attorney announcing that her office will only seek cash bail in limited misdemeanor cases because it unfairly penalizes those with less financial means and disproportionately affects defendants of color.

Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act, which is a landmark 1978 legislation aimed at preventing Native foster children and adoptees from being separated from their families and tribes.

Montana is one of the states in our country signing anti-queer and anti-transgender laws – among the rash of laws signed just this year, since January, in Montana, are laws that allow healthcare providers to refuse patients based on conscience, that define biological sex as only male or female, that prevent gender-affirming medical care for transgender kids, and that prohibit drag shows and drag story hours if there are minors present.
