Opinion: Prop. 47 has responsibly reformed the criminal justice system

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:23 GMT

During the past decade, there’s been an ongoing effort by those with a vested interest in protecting the old, failed approaches of our criminal justice system to spread disinformation about the impact reforms to that broken system have had.That effort has entered hyperdrive as property crime rates have ticked up from historic lows since the start of the global pandemic. Powerful law enforcement interests hope that will cause collective amnesia, that we all forget the disastrous ruin wrought by the failed “tough on crime” policies of the 1980s and 1990s.The truth is criminal justice reforms like Proposition 47, approved overwhelmingly by voters nine years ago, have pulled California out of a crisis that included multiple people dying weekly from medical neglect in its overstuffed state prisons, a statewide re-arrest rate of over 75% and the entire state prison system nearly being taken over by the federal government.We were failing by every conceivable measure to provide the safety C...

What Chris Paul’s hand surgery means for the Warriors

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:23 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Within seconds of hurting his hand going for a loose ball, Chris Paul seemed to recognize a familiar feeling. Holding his left palm, Paul immediately bolted for the locker room. Later, it was determined Paul would undergo surgery.Paul’s sure hands have all but secured his spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame, but those same hands have also betrayed him. He’s now had 11 hand injuries in his 19-year career, five on his non-shooting hand and six on his right, according to ESPN. There is no timetable for his return, though it is expected he will return sometime this season.“I just feel bad for him,” Steph Curry said. “I just feel for him personally because he does such an amazing job of taking care of his body and preparing himself day in and day out. Nobody sees the amount of hours he puts in, especially at this phase of his career.”Paul’s frustrating history with hands is a tale in itself, but also another punch to a Warri...

E infantes de Marina en servicio activo.Ellos están entre los cientos de personas que han sido declaradas culpables en el enjuiciamiento masivo por el motín del 6 de enero de 2021, en los tres años transcurridos desde que la atónita nación presenció en vivo por televisión el ataque al Capitolio de Estados Unidos.El tribunal federal de Washington sigue inundado de juicios, audiencias de declaración de culpabilidad y sentencias derivadas de lo que se ha convertido en la investigación penal más grande en la historia del país.

¿Argentina en venta? La polémica tras el decreto de Milei que elimina el límite para que los extranjeros compren tierras

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:23 GMT

(CNN Español) —  El decreto de necesidad y urgencia (DNU) que emitió el presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei, el 21 de diciembre, incluyó la derogación de la llamada Ley de Tierras, que bajo el argumento de la soberanía nacional establecía un límite a la compra y posesión de tierra por extranjeros. Esto ocurre mientras continúan las presentaciones judiciales contra ese megadecreto, una de las cuales logró frenar con un amparo el capítulo referido a las reformas laborales.La Ley 26.737 de Protección al Dominio Nacional sobre la Propiedad, Posesión o Tenencia de las Tierras Rurales fue promulgada en diciembre de 2011 a instancias de la entonces presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Establecía que los extranjeros no podían tener más del 15% de las tierras del país, de una provincia o de un municipio. Pero, además, como Argentina es un país agroexportador, con la soja como principal cultivo y exportación de las últimas décadas, les prohibía poseer más de mil hectáreas de las...

Health officials call for community help amid blood supply shortage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:23 GMT

A blood shortage has health officials asking donors in the D.C. area to step up.“Not only are we challenged from a collection and donor perspective, but we do see increases in blood use this time of year as well,” said Sean McCleary, vice president of professional services with Inova Health System.McCleary says the not-for-profit health organization has less than a day’s worth of O-negative supply, the universal donor type, which is used in a lot of trauma incidents, like gunshot wounds and injuries from car crashes.“We really are in a critical status when it comes to blood supply for our patients,” McCleary told WTOP. “We use it in a lot of our trauma care here in the Inova Health System.”He said traumatic occurrences are actually up so far in the month of January, right as donations are dwindling. He also adds January is already a tough month for collections to begin with.“Sixty-five percent of the population is eligible to donate bl...
