The Bay Area faces a funding crisis for its public transit, but a ballot measure could come to the rescue. For @motherjones.com, I reported on the measure and talked with aging and disabled adults, who are more likely to use transit, on what's at stake for them. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ED corridor diagnoses could breach Health and Disability code, commissioner says
The Health and Disability Commissioner says crowded emergency departments could be breaching patients' rights to talk in private about their symptoms and medical history.

You can now read Carlos Vargas Moreno's story at The Guardian. Carlos was an H-2A worker who experienced a debilitating heat stroke in 2022 after being subjected to unsafe work conditions by his employer, Florida Orange Gold. Two years prior, another Florida Orange Gold worker died of heat stroke.
Heatstroke ruined his health. Years before, it took the life of another farm worker at the same company
A farm labor contractor exposed laborers on H-2A agricultural visas to heat-related health hazards, but the contractor is still bringing hundreds of migrant farm workers to North Carolina

“Chelation therapy” for autism, quackery better described as administering dangerous drugs for no actual indication (often the wrong/less safe chelator drugs, too) for cash to try to suck “autism-causing toxins” out of children (autism is not caused by postnatal toxic exposure) has *killed* children
The FDA used to have a warning on its website against bogus autism “remedies,” eg, the dangerous—sometimes deadly—chelation pushed by RFK Jr & his antivaxx ally David Geier RFK Jr ordered the warnings to be removed 😢 Anyone who tells me I must “find common cause” with MAHA & its leader can STFU
