My 8 year old daughter just came up to me and whispered “I can’t wait!” I thought she was talking about Santa. Turns out she’s talking about her #COVIDVaccineKids that she is getting later today!

Today I watched a judge get upset b/c an attorney said during a bail application that the family had not been able to save enough money to buy their loved one’s freedom. She didn’t like that characterization of bail. Which leads me to ask, what do judges think bail is?

Did you know that the original Jack-o-Lanterns used TURNIPS instead of pumpkins? It wasn't until Irish immigrants arrived in states like Massachusetts that they found pumpkins were a bit easier. More on that and the history of other Halloween traditions coming up on @GBHNews!

It remains entirely unacceptable that Clarence Thomas does not recuse himself from anything related to the 2020 election, which his wife sought to overturn. We must apply the Judicial Code of Ethics to the Supreme Court and establish an investigative arm to enforce it.

Vote yes on Question 2 bostonglobe.com/2022/10/24/o…

Vote yes on Question 2 - The Boston Globe

Forcing dental insurers to spend more of the premiums they collect on actual patient care would be a step in the right direction.

Wouldn’t something like this (smaller scale of course) be great in Solana Beach on Cedros maybe? Thoughts?

Heartbreaking, but not surprising. The systemic inequities also intersect and layer upon each other for many patients. There is also profound moral injury for providers who know full well that they are providing substandard care within broken systems. nyti.ms/3SiPOAE

These Doctors Admit They Don’t Want Patients With Disabilities (Published 2022)

When granted anonymity in focus groups, physicians let their guards down and shared opinions consistent with experiences of many people with disabilities.

Solana Beach has lost control over local development - it’s shocking how long they let this drag on. The state laid it all out very clearly in their 9/25/22 letter , but here we are in October, still OUT OF COMPLIANCE with state housing law. bit.ly/3MM1QBz
