Not endorsing Erika Uyterhoeven the only DSA elected in the MALeg and ran as such is embarrassing and I still think the excuse is useless icl

If #MALeg cannot adequately fund public defense, it must turn off the faucet: tell police and prosecutors to stop bringing so many cases! Cut prosecutors' budgets. Public defenders cannot control the size of their caseloads--they operate in a responsive posture; prosecutors can. #mapoli

@massgovernor.bsky.social Please tell the #maleg you will sign the bills as soon as they get to your desk.
Other states are taking action against ICE violence. MA should join them.

Divided NJ Legislature gives final passage to three anti-ICE bills • New Jersey Monitor
The bills would restrict when New Jersey cops can aid federal immigration agents. Critics say they trample on federal authority.

Unclear how the #MALeg estimates 320 public defenders, since this $40M would need to cover salaries, benefits (pension/retirement, health insurance, etc.), office space to accommodate all these new hires, support staff (investigators, paralegals), supervisors... Seems like an overestimate! #mapoli
The budget would also allow CPCS, the state public defender office, to hire an additional 320 public defenders, decreasing the state's reliance on bar advocates, who currently represent about 80 percent of indigent defendants in the state.

Prosecutors are requesting bigger budgets and more staff to process basic discovery (including exculpatory evidence) in #mapoli. The #MALeg should ignore this distraction.

The state Trial Court set new rules for evidence. Prosecutors are balking. - The Boston Globe
Prosecutors are balking at new evidentiary rules enacted by the state Trial Court, saying they will put extra burdens on their offices that could jeopardize cases.

Since our do-nothing legislature is continuing to do nothing about vaccine mandates (and BS "religious" exemptions) maybe we should have a ballot initiative?
