In two weeks George Soros' plan to turn Austin into another Seattle or San Francisco could take a big leap forward if Travis County residents are foolish enough to vote for Jose Garza for District Attorney.

If he wins, expect "catch and release" for antifa rioters and a refusal to prosecute drug dealing offenses on Austin's streets.

And Soros and company are backing Garza with lots of money:

In the race for Travis County district attorney, challenger Jos Garza reported total political contributions of more than $548,000 from Feb. 23-July 4. He had some help in that from a group called the Texas Justice & Public Safety Political Action Committee, as well as the Real Justice PAC out of San Francisco. Other committees helping Jos Garza include the Workers Defense in Action PAC and the Austin Firefighters Association PAC, both located in Austin.
Philanthropist George Soros contributed $652,000 to the Texas Justice & Public Safety PAC between March 11 and May 29. According to Garza's opponent, District Attorney Margaret Moore, the PAC spent more than $600,000 on digital media and glossy mail advertisements to help Garza. Moore's campaign released a blistering attack on those expenditures saying, "The amount of money being poured into the district attorney's race is alarming and abhorrent. Local elections should be decided by people from this community, free from the crushing influence of outside spending by PACs that are not accountable to this county."

Shouldn't we have laws that prevent any foreigner or foreign entity from donating to an election of any kind in America? That seems like an easy law that all parties should be on board for.

The Bexar County District Attorney's Office has sought to recuse itself from a case involving a local activist arrested last week after allegedly leaving her children home alone.

Jourdyn Parks, 29, is out on bond after being arrested on a charge of abandoning a child with intent to return, Bexar County Sheriff's officials said. She is the founder of Reliable Revolutionaries, a local group of activists that formed in the wake of national protests over the death of George Floyd.

District Attorney Joe D. Gonzales said in a statement Wednesday that his office met with Parks "on numerous occasions" prior to her arrest to "establish a dialog on how we handle officer-involved shootings," and discussed the status of three shootings that have been filed and resolved in the DA's Office.

"Because of the prior community-based meetings conducted between Ms. Parks and our office and in order to avoid the appearance of any conflict, I am seeking to recuse the District Attorney's Office from any further involvement with these cases," Gonzales said in the statement.

I'm sure Abbott is getting his cut from Soros too.
