Cornel West, the iconic academic and social critic, has declared his candidacy for president of the United States in the 2024 election. He is running with the People's Party, a progressive alternative to the two major parties that grew out of Bernie Sanders's 2016 campaign. With 2024 shaping up to be a rematch between "neofascist" Donald Trump and "milquetoast neoliberal" Joe Biden, West says voters need a real alternative focused on tackling inequality, racism, war and corporate greed. "There's an indifference to the plight of the vulnerable," West tells Demo…
(2023-06-06). Pulse Oximeters and Federal Antidiscrimination Law. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent Viewpoint reviewed legal and regulatory options to address the recognized deficiencies of pulse oximetry in quantifying severe hypoxemia in darker-skinned patients. This shortcoming is not new and the failure to rectify the technology over so many years is a regrettable example of institutional racism. Although the authors' proposition that the threat of personal injury litigation or hospital penalties may spur innovation may be valid, in the absence of a commercially available oximeter free of this defect, we believe that the idea of penalizing practitioners or institutions for use of a tr…

Anti-Trans Politicians Are Following the Nazi Playbook. otherwords.org The 1920s were both good and bad times for the Jews of Germany. | They'd been granted the same legal rights as other Germans and were established in respected professions. They were mostly treated as worthy of dignity. But that changed as antisemites scapegoated Jews for all of Germany's woes — from the loss of World War I to the hyperinflation that had ruined so many lives. | Nazis not only stereotyped Jews as rich, cunning, and devious, but also likened them to revolting vermin — including lice, rats, snakes, and cockroaches.

(2023-06-06). Clinging Bitterly to Guns and Religion. tomdispatch.com All around us things are falling apart. Collectively, Americans are experiencing national and imperial decline. Can America save itself? Is this country, as presently constituted, even worth saving? For me, that last question is radical indeed. From my early years, I believed deeply in the idea of America. I knew this country wasn't perfect, of course, not even close. Long before the 1619 Project, I was aware of the "original sin" of slavery and how central it was to our history. I also knew about the genocide of Native Americans. (As a teenager, my favorite movie — and so it remains — was Little Big…
(2023-06-06). Pulse Oximeters and Federal Antidiscrimination Law—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply In a recent Viewpoint, we explained why hospitals may face liability, under either common law torts or emerging federal antidiscrimination law, if they uncritically rely on pulse oximeters that are inaccurate for darker-skinned patients. Drs Hannenberg and Merry are correct that pulse oximetry remains an important technology in medicine, and we applaud their efforts to get health technologies to patients in low-resource settings. Still, our point remains: unreliable medical technologies do and should create liability risks for health care entities that continue to rely on them.
