I reported that a DA had a "fighting antisemitism" page on his campaign website that highlights his felony prosecution of Palestine student protestors.After defense attys dug up more evidence of conflict, the DA was recused––a rare outcome.
Now the state AG has dropped the case.

THREAD. After years of litigating against New York prosecutors and judges, we just won a landmark First Amendment case in the federal appeals court. The case could expose the secretive world that protects prosecutors when they break the law. But something deeper is going on.

July 4th was 10 yrs since Anthony Nuñez was shot & killed by San Jose Police. He was 18 yrs old & had a mental health crisis. His cousin called for help & SJPD shot Anthony within 3 min of arriving. Over the last decade his family has uplifted & fought for Anthony’s name & story.

If you have a loved one that’s in jail because they couldn’t afford the bail, they have a new way to push for their release! A new CA Supreme Court case called “Kowalczyk” says judges can’t detain ppl on unattainable bail! Push the attorney to advocate for their release!✊🏾💪🏾

"A group of civil rights orgs is ratcheting up the legal pressure on San Jose over longstanding complaints that too often mental health-related emergency calls receive a police response — rather than assistance from mental health professionals." @svdebug

Sometimes at our weekly ACJP participatory defense mtgs at De-Bug, the victories are especially moving. This is a movement that will free our people. Slow-cooking, when no one’s looking, a consistent drumbeat marching forward when the world expects resignation - type movement.

De-Bug response to Mahan's disastrous budget San Jose message. In the face of a deficit, the Mayor wants take money out of permanent housing & needed social services & pour it into police, landlords, & developers. That's not our San Jose he's protecting.

Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen warns proposed budget cuts could impact safety and justice. Critics argue that redirecting funds towards mental health, housing, and community health could be more effective in maintaining public safety.

Santa Clara County electeds have said they will protect the community from ICE. Yet despite these declarations they have allowed a continuing ICE operation at the jail that has led to 46 ppl being taken. We can’t allow that, and call on the county to put actions to their words.✊🏾
