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.

Farewell Jane Goodall. We were lucky to have you fighting for so many years. Rest in Power. ✊

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."
