Two conservative groups say San Francisco and the state of California are racist for illegally giving away millions in tax money to three non-profits that exclude recipients based on race and gender identity.

The American Civil Rights Project and the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation say the city and state violate the law by picking who gets federal money based on skin color.

The suit names three guaranteed-income programs.

The Black Economic Equity Movement hands out $500 a month exclusively to young, Black Bay Area residents.

SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR PUSHES ADDICTION SCREENING FOR WELFARE RECIPIENTS

Guaranteed Income for Trans-people pays $1,200 a month to Black, Indigenous and Latino recipients, provided they are also transgender.

The Abundant Birth Project gives out $1,000 a month solely to pregnant Black and Pacific Islander women.

"We are asking for these programs to be halted until they are no longer discriminatory," says lawyer Dan Morenoff of the American Civil Rights Project.

"Each of these three programs qualifies and disqualifies individuals from participation and benefits based on their race."

San Francisco established the Abundant Birth Project in 2020 through its department of health. It provides $1,000 to $1,500 a month, for roughly nine months, solely to "Black and Pacific Islander women in San Francisco." Other races are not eligible for this "unconditional" income. Its annual budget is $1.8 million, but new $5 million in grants expand the program to four additional counties.

Advocates say that Black and Pacific Islander women need the help because of higher rates of premature birth. "This risk is primarily due to racism, both structural racism and racism that birthing people experience when they interact with physicians and other medical providers," says Dr. Zea Malawa of the San Francisco Department of Public Health.

True or not, the lawsuit claims, it remains illegal to exclude White and Latino women, especially those with higher risks of complication.

In November last year, San Francisco launched another guaranteed income program.

"To participate you must be Black, between the ages of 18 and 24, and live in certain areas within Oakland or San Francisco," according to BEEM guidelines. Those applying as 'White' on-line are told they are 'not eligible'.

The GIFT project provides $1,200 a month for 18 months to "Transgender, Non Binary, Gender Non-Conforming and Intersex" individuals provided they are "Black, Indigenous or People of Color."  The program is run through the city's Office of Transgender Initiatives. Last week, the watchdog group Judicial Watch also sued San Francisco over the GIFT project.

The money in all three programs is provided with no strings attached, via a debit card replenished each month.

"Guaranteed Income is a temporary monthly payment made to people without any requirements or obligations," says BEEM. "It’s an approach to supporting people, so they have a little breathing room, can take care of immediate needs, and plan for the future."

Similarly, the GIFT project says, "the $1,200 stipend will be provided to participants so they may focus on their basic physical and mental health and wellness without worrying about income."

Fox News reached out to all three programs, but all declined an interview. Mayor London Breed's office said in a statement that the programs are legal and that it looks forward to addressing the charges in court.

Pro-Trump lawyer arrested on bench warrant in Washington, D.C.

On top of everything else he posted about receiving a mammogram when actual women are in need of those services

ByGenevieve Gluck August 6, 2023

A Michigan man who identifies as both transgender and Muslim has filed a legal claim against his ex-boyfriend demanding the return of his amputated testicles which he says are being kept in a jar in the refrigerator.

Brianna Kingsley, 40, filed the claim against William Wojciechowski, 37, in Pontiac’s 50th District Court on Thursday. In a handwritten affidavit, Kingsley wrote: “Defendant retains possession of my surgically extracted testicles, preserved in [a] Mason jar, kept in [the] fridge next to the eggs. Demand immediate return of my human remains specimen and damages of $6,500.”

Kingsley is also known as Zahrah Bri-Zee Muharib on social media, an Arabic name, and appears to have recently converted to Islam.

In April, Kingsley uploaded a video to his TikTok account titled “The Unboxing of Dee’s Nutz,” which depicts him removing a clear bag with a biohazard label while wearing a lace veil and a pink dress.

The video is captioned, “Transgender woman unboxes her surgically extracted lady balls that was [sic] packaged by the Hospital that performed her gender-affirming bottom surgery.” Smiling and laughing, Kingsley holds up the bag containing his testicles before returning them to the box and performing a curtsy. In the background behind him, a painting of a nude woman with testicles can be seen.

Wojciechowski told The Detroit News that Kingsley had been harassing him for the past eight months since their split. Using “she/her” pronouns to refer to Kingsley, Wojciechowski said “I’ll be telling my lawyer about this because it’s getting ridiculous. I don’t owe her anything. She’s been harassing me ever since we broke up. I had to take out a PPO against her.�� The personal protection order against Kingsley was signed by Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Lisa Gorcyca on December 13, 2022, just two weeks after the couple’s breakup. The order remains in effect for a year after its issuance date, and in the document Wojciechowski claimed Kingsley threatened to harm him and had harassed with him at his workplace.

In a recent Facebook post, Wojciechowski shared The Detroit News article concerning the litigation against him, stating, “Here’s the latest on Brianna Kingsley and the harassment she is putting me through. Please feel free to share and spread the word.”

One individual who responded to the article commented, “I hope you finally get relief from her incessant crap. JFC she uses everyone then turns on them in a fiery rage. You deserve peace.”

After their falling out, Wojciechowski alleges that Kingsley abducted his two dogs and held them for several weeks. In a Facebook post, he writes that Kingsley violated the protective order he’d lodged against him by visiting his home in February, at which time Kingsley “stole them [the dogs] out of my front yard on Valentine’s Day.”

"I’m still moving forward with the charges against Brianna Kingsley. She violated the PPO I have on her by taking my dogs,” Wojciechowski stated the following month after having recovered the animals.

“She needs to be held accountable for her actions no matter what. The dogs are OK, but they do show more fear and aggression since they were taken. Especially Butch. He keeps pulling his head up and away when I try to pet under his chin. Which tells me that his whining and barking triggered Brianna and she punished him for it,” Wojciechowski said.

According to his Facebook profile, Kingsley organized a “queer night” event in 2019 where he performed at a strip club in Ypsilanti. The event, titled “First Fully Nude Transsexual Stripper,” was held in October that year and co-hosted by a local burlesque dancer.

In a post made to his Facebook last month, Kingsley boasts of undergoing a mammogram as a “rite of passage” at Regional Medical Imaging Center in Royal Oak. Kingsley describes how a female nurse “deftly maneuvered my right 50DD breast into the imaging clamp” before the “robot squeezed my masses, these glorious udders of breast tissue.” He brags about enjoying the experience and “fly-fishing for validation” from the nurse after she “finished imaging both my breasts.”

“Some of us are gifted by spirit, specifically us transgender people, with rare talents and abilities, perceptions and discernments, visions and dreams, that more than 95% of folk do NOT have so they mock us, exile us, and kill us with their apathy,” Kingsley wrote in April.

“Transgender people are more than just the butt of the jokes you make, the ones you let slide unopposed; we are an increasingly endangered species broaching the brink of extinction, hunted for sport in front of your very eyes,” he added.

Other social media posts by Kingsley indicate that an altercation had occurred between him and members of LGBT Detroit. In one post that was shared by Kingsley on his TikTok account, a man who appears to be affiliated with the group accuses Kingsley of vandalizing property belonging to the organization. In a video created by Kingsley for TikTok, he claims to have prevented the trans activist group from receiving a $30,000 grant offered by the Human Rights Campaign.

Kingsley was previously arrested in 2019 for threatening a trans-identifying male roommate with a knife at their residence on Christmas day. Local outlet Royal Oak Tribune refers to Kingsley as a “woman” who brandished a 6-inch blade during the dispute.

“In the kitchen, Kingsley grabbed a knife with a 6-inch blade and told the victim to leave the house,” a police officer told the press. “When the victim didn’t immediately comply, the suspect held the knife above her head in a threatening manner.”

Kingsley was held in the Oakland County Jail under his male name and in the men’s section, separated from other inmates. He was charged with felony assault, which is punishable by up to four years in prison and a $2,000 fine. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in October 2020 and was sentenced to two months in jail.

4/10/2023. 

Today, I showed up for jury duty today. Had to be there  in the jury assembly room.at 1:15pm. This was in the Superior Court House in Stanislaus County, Modesto, California.  I’m a criminal defense attorney. I first came to Stanislaus County in 1984. Since then, I have had many jury trials in that court house. I have also Been a potential juror several times. But, I’m always excused because I am a defense lawyer. Still, being a part of the jury selection process is a great education for me. I get to see how it feels to be a potential juror. I notice my reaction when, in a criminal case, I first see the person accused of a crime or crimes. And, I study how I first feel when the judge tells us what the person is charged with. 

The accused man today was a 30 something well dressed handsome African American man. I looked at my fellow jurors to see how many were African American. Only 2.  Highly likely it  will be hard  for the accused to get a to get a fair trial based on race. There were four armed police officers in the court room. 3 male. One female. The were positioned in close proximity to the accused. This could send a message to potential jurors that the accused was a dangerous man. Another reason the accused would have trouble getting a fair trial.

Then the judge read the charges. Vehicle Code 2800.2(a) Flight from Police.  I thought “ Why didn’t this case settle? What are the accused man's defenses. A very low intensity charge.”

And then the judge began to ask the first 18 people selected if they could be fair. There were about 80 of us called up for jury duty to Department 6. A kind of alchemy occurred as the potential jurors began to answer. The room converted from a court room into a collective report card on humanity. A kind of a litmus test of where, we as a people and as a society, stand now.

One woman said that her son or brother, someone close to her, had been involved in a high speed chase in Oakland resulting in the police shooting and killing him. “And, today is his birthday” she said as her eyes welled with tears.  I was overwhelmed by the woman’s powerful delivery and by her compassionate indictment of law enforcement. Another woman said “Another  court found my son guilty and gave him life. The verdict was overturned by an appeals court . I don’t believe in the system. I can’t be fair.  A man, probably in his 50’s, said that when he was 17 he had been beaten by the police. He could not be fair in a case where police would testify.

At this point, the defense attorney asked for a meeting with the judge and the DA outside the presence of the potential jurors. We were sent back to the jury assembly room. After some time, we were told that the case in Department 6 had settled. 

I’m not sure why it settled. But, I can’t help believing that the testament of those 3 potential jurors in this era of George Floyd and the many others killed wrongfully by police didn’t have something to do with it. Especially since the accused man in department 6 was a young black man.

End of entry

Note: the phrase “Report card on humanity “ comes from the movie “Snowfall on the Cedars." In the movie, a defense lawyer begins his closing argument by telling the jurors that every once in a while a group of 12 people, the jury, are asked to give a report card on humanity”. I quoted this line in a closing argument in a co defendant gang murder case I was in from August 4, 2014 to January 28, 2015. There were 4 other defense lawyers who gave closing arguments in that case. So, I can’t take full credit for the hung jury that resulted. The case ended up on about May 25, 2015 as a 17 page story in the Sunday magazine in the New York Times! You can still google that article at New York Times Magazine: "How do you define a gang member? Jesse De La Cruz."

Jurist Wiley William Manuel (August 28, 1927–January 5, 1981) was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of California and the first African American to serve on the high court.

He was born in Oakland, grew up in Berkeley, and was educated in public schools. After graduating from Berkeley High School he studied at UC Berkeley. He attended Hastings College of Law and received his LL.B. with Order of the Coif honors. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Hastings Law Journal.

He is the great-grandson of Louisiana State Senator Tobias “TB” Berry Stamps.

He worked for 23 years in the California Attorney General’s office, rising to the chief assistant attorney general in the San Francisco office. In March 1956, he announced that municipalities adding fluoride to public drinking water could not be charged with practicing dentistry.

In February 1976, Governor Jerry Brown appointed him to the post of judge of the Alameda County Superior Court.

On February 12, 1977, Governor Brown elevated him to the Supreme Court. On March 8, 1977, he was approved by the Judicial Qualifications Commission, he was sworn in on March 24, 1977, and took his seat on April 5, 1977. He delivered the keynote address at the first meeting of the California Association of Black Lawyers. Among his notable cases is the criminal prosecution against William and Emily Harris of the Symbionese Liberation Army on charges of kidnapping Patricia Hearst in 1974. He wrote the 6 – 1 majority opinion that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the defendant’s request for the state-appointed counsel of their choosing. He served for only four years before he succumbed to stomach cancer.

In honor of him, there is a non-profit scholarship foundation in Northern California. He was known for his dedication to pro bono work and has a pro bono award named after him awarded by the State Bar of California each year. The Wiley Manuel Courthouse, part of the Alameda County Superior Court, was named after him.

He married Eleanor M. Williams (1948). He was survived by his wife and their two children. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #stampsfamily

Stellantis sues another supplier it says withheld parts to extract price increase

Stellantis NV has filed another lawsuit against a parts supplier over a pricing dispute, this time targeting the manufacturer of fuel tanks for the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. The automaker sued Quebec-based Spectra Premium Mobility Solutions Ltd. earlier this month after the supplier threatened to stop shipping fuel tanks for the plug-in hybrid minivan, which would shut down production at Windsor Assembly Plant, according to the lawsuit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court. Stellantis said its supplier demanded a 12.5% price increase retroactive to Jan. 1 or it would withhold parts. The automaker was set to run out of fuel tanks late last week, which would bring the line to a halt. An Oakland County judge denied the automaker’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have forced the supplier to keep shipping parts at contract price. It is unclear to what extent, if any, production has been impacted at the plant, which produces 350 minivans per week and is aiming to scale up to 750 per week in the second half of the year, per the lawsuit. Stellantis declined to comment. The automaker has warned of devastating consequences, including sweeping layoffs and large financial damages, resulting from production shutdowns related to supplier disputes. However, the automaker has averted long-term production disruptions by either winning injunctive relief from the court or paying suppliers under protest. The lawsuit against Spectra marks the fourth known legal fight Stellantis has initiated against its suppliers this year. Pricing disputes are common in the automotive industry, but it is rare for a customer to sue its supplier. Long-simmering tensions between Stellantis and parts makers have come to a head in recent months amid the automaker’s relentless cost-cutting pursuit and unapologetic targeting of its supply base to drive down costs. Domestic rivals Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. are in the same fight to retain market share and electrify their portfolios as Tesla Inc. and foreign automakers pose greater threats. As in previously filed lawsuits, Stellantis argued that a production shutdown would have dire consequences not only on the automaker, but the supply chain dependent on the Pacifica. “The economic consequences of a cascading automotive industry disruption of this magnitude is massive and immeasurable,” the lawsuit said. But Judge Victoria Valentine denied the restraining order against Spectra, departing from her previous rulings on the other two supplier lawsuits that have crossed her docket. In the case against Yanfeng, which involved millions of dollars allegedly lost in a cyberattack, Valentine granted injunctive relief to Stellantis. Same went for Kamax when Valentine’s order forced it to keep parts flowing to the automaker. In the Spectra order entered July 5, Valentine did not provide a reason for denying the request this time. The decision is a blow for Stellantis as the automaker turns to the court to protect it from supplier demands for better pricing. The company has argued that its suppliers are bound by contract terms even if the economics have become unfavorable. Lawyers representing the suppliers have argued that the supply agreements are not enforceable requirement contracts. In a case against MacLean-Fogg, Oakland County Judge Michael Warren also denied a preliminary injunction against the supplier. To keep production going, Stellantis is paying the company under protest while the case works its way through the court. After the judge indicated that Stellantis was likely to win the case on merits, however, MacLean-Fogg’s attorneys moved the case to federal court. Patrick Green, attorney at Dickinson Wright representing Stellantis, did not return a request for comment on the most recent lawsuit. Matthew Letzmann, attorney at Brooks, Wilkins, Sharkey & Turco PLLC representing Spectra, declined to comment. Stellantis said in the lawsuit that in 2022 it agreed to pay 100% of Spectra’s raw material costs per agreed index and that the supplier…
