(KRON) -- Crowd control enforcement decisions made by Caltrans and police on Cinco de Mayo in San Jose are being blasted by state political leaders as "racist" and fear-driven. San Jose residents who went out to celebrate the Mexican holiday were blocked or turned around from the city's downtown area because of extensive highway closures. "Normal traffic controls are one thing – but shutting down major highway access on the pretense of fear of multicultural celebrations of Cinco de Mayo is racist targeting, and blatantly unconstitutional as it violates First Amendment rights to freedom of assembly," State Senator Dave Cortese (D-San Jose) and Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) wrote in a joint statement Monday. The San Jose Police Department said it takes a "zero-tolerance" approach every Cinco de Mayo because San Jose "has historically drawn large crowds from outside the city, many of whom did not celebrate lawfully." Police arrested 115 people over the weekend and responded to ...Another dead gray whale washes up on a Bay Area beach

In 2019, Thea Riofrancos was splitting her time between researching the social and environmental impacts of lithium mining in Chile and organizing for a rapid energy transition away from fossil fuels in the United States. A political science professor at Providence College and member of the Climate and Community Project, Riofrancos was struck by the contrast: Lithium is essential to the batteries that make electric vehicles and renewable energy work, but mining inflicts its own environmental damage. “Here I am in Chile, in the Atacama Desert, seeing these mining-related harms, and then there I go in the U.S. advocating for a rapid transition. How do I align these two goals?” Riofrancos said. “And is there a way to have a less extractive energy transition?”When she went looking for research that would help answer that question, she found none, at least not for the transportation sector, which was her area of focus. “I saw forecast after forecast that assumed basically a binary of the...Colorado woman found guilty of killing 11-year-old stepson

A Colorado woman was found guilty of murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson Monday.Prosecutors said Letecia Stauch stabbed Gannon Stauch 18 times before hitting him in the head and then shooting him once in January 2020. Prosecutors claimed Stauch killed the boy because she hated him and wanted to hurt his father, whom she planned to leave and who was away on a National Guard deployment at the time.Stauch did not deny killing Gannon and taking his body across the country in a suitcase in the back of a rented van. But she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense argued that she killed Gannon during a “psychotic break” caused by trauma from being physically, emotionally and sexually abused during her childhood. Experts at the state mental hospital concluded that Stauch had a personality disorder with borderline and narcissistic features but was sane at the time Gannon was killed. Under Colorado law, that means understanding the difference between right and w...As colon cancer rates increase among younger adults, doctor discusses ways to be proactive

While the number of colon cancer cases have gone down for people in their 50s and 60s due to more preventative measures, they’ve gone up among younger adults.Colon cancer cases in people under 55 increased from 11% to 20% from 1995 to 2019, according to a report released in March by the American Cancer Society.“The takeaway from the trend is that maybe we need to be doing something more proactive to identify these patients and cases while we’re still figuring out what the ‘why’ is,” said Dr. Joseph Jennings, a gastroenterologist at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital.He said it’s important to look out for symptoms like rectal bleeding, abdominal pain or ongoing diarrhea.“When you notice those symptoms, it could be a lot of things that are not cancer, but we’re going to be a lot more thorough,” he stressed, adding the importance of having a conversation with your primary care doctor or a specialist. “We’ll help you ...Haunting photos from Ukraine that earned AP a Pulitzer Prize

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The rookie class that Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid brought to Kansas City last season set the bar mighty high for each group of first-year players that is expected to follow them.The Chiefs had 10 draft picks and all of them appeared in at least one game. Many of them, such as first-round picks Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis, became starters or regulars by the midpoint of the season. And others, such as seventh-round pick Isiah Pacheco, played important roles in the Chiefs beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.“The job that (Veach) did with his guys was second to none,” Reid acknowledged.The first shot at following up that performance began in earnest over the weekend, when the Chiefs brought in their latest draft class along with a group of undrafted free agents and select players for a three-day minicamp. Little could be gleaned from a series of workouts in shorts, particularly given the brutally hot conditio...Latest news
