Are courts engaging in defamation when they publish DVROs without exercising reasonable care to first verify the facts?

Human history shows us one undeniable truth: those in power will abuse it unless something stops them. Whether through public pressure, legal action, or political consequences, it is up to us to remind our judges and elected officials that we do not tolerate biased treatment of any person. We expect the law to be applied equally to all, without favoritism or prejudice.

Please consider supporting the work of Adaptive Community Solutions, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families navigating the challenges of an unjust and often overwhelming system. Their mission is to provide holistic support, practical resources, and educational opportunities to help community members reclaim their power, find balance, and thrive in the face of adversity. More from the ACS website:

On Thursday, Republicans in the House and Senate introduced the Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act, an essential bill that applies the strict scrutiny test to protect parental rights. This means any government action that interferes with a parent’s fundamental right to direct their child’s upbringing, education, and healthcare must meet the highest level of judicial review. This is something I have been advocating for a long time, and I am happy to see lawmakers finally taking action.

Now, you may be wondering: Why is this necessary? Let me enlighten you.

Welcome to Public Justice Playbook

At Public Justice Playbook, we shine a bright light on the dark corners of California's criminal and family court systems. These institutions, designed to protect and serve, too often fail the most vulnerable among us—especially children. We’re here to pull back the curtain and expose the dysfunction, dishonesty, and outright abuse hiding behind their legal jargon and lofty promises.

While the subject matter is serious, our approach is anything but grim. We believe that truth, paired with humor, is a powerful weapon against injustice. After all, the emperor’s got no clothes, and it’s about time someone pointed it out. Through sharp wit and unflinching honesty, we aim to dismantle the absurdity of a system that’s lost its way.

Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or join the fight for reform, you’re in the right place. Together, let’s expose the flaws, amplify the truth, and advocate for a future where justice actually means something.

Because here at Public Justice Playbook, we know one thing for sure: laughter is not a crime, but silence is complicity.
