(CNN) — Bernie Sanders, senador por Vermont, dejó de lado este domingo las preocupaciones sobre la edad del presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, tras el anuncio de su candidatura a la reelección: “La edad es una cosa. Creo que la experiencia es otra”.El senador independiente, que a sus 81 años es un año mayor que Biden, dijo a Dana Bash de CNN en “State of the Union” que “si crees en la democracia, si quieres que vote más gente y no menos, creo que la elección está bastante clara. Y esa elección es Biden”.Sanders, que se alinea con los demócratas en el Senado, respaldó la candidatura de reelección de Biden la semana pasada, y es probable que el presidente disfrute de un camino fácil hacia la nominación demócrata de 2024. La escritora Marianne Williamson y el activista antivacunas Robert F. Kennedy Jr. le desafían en las primarias, pero no se espera que ningún candidato demócrata importante se una a ellos.Sin embargo, a sus 80 años, Biden...

Editorial: Horrors of ‘zombie drug’ xylazine spread in U.S.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:04:00 GMT

These days, drug use in New York’s Washington Square Park is very much out in the open. On the park benches, you can see people smoking, injecting themselves and their bench mates and even cooking methamphetamine.But the big shocker for an infrequent visitor is something different. A few of the people present in the park have red and black wounds on their skin. In at least one case, parts of human tendons appeared to be exposed.Most likely, the gruesome sight is a consequence of seeing the effects of someone using the veterinary tranquilizer xylazine, colloquially tranq. Commonly mixed with the synthetic opioid fentanyl and obtained with relative ease, xylazine is sometimes called the “zombie drug” in acknowledgment of its flesh-eating properties.Xylazine, which has no FDA-approved use in humans, is becoming a massive problem in both New York and Chicago. Why do people mix the two drugs together? In essence, the addition of xylazine extends the duration of the fentanyl high. And for...

Chris Pratt back in the ‘space cowboy’ saddle in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:04:00 GMT

In the decade since first playing Peter Quill/Star-Lord in “Guardians of the Galaxy” Chris Pratt, with his exuberant comic physicality, morphed from a likable supporting player to Hollywood’s A-list successor to Harrison Ford.This week’s “Guardians 3” now matches his other, equally popular “Jurassic World” trilogy as the velociraptor-taming Owen Grady.Star-Lord, the half-human leader of a pack of quirkily adorable misfits has been dubbed “A blissed-out space cowboy.” Last week’s virtual global press conference for “Vol. 3” emphasized that this is a conclusion, the bye-bye-bye of “Guardians.” But as any Marvel follower knows, that changes whenever creator-writer-director James Gunn gets a green light for “Vol. 4.”What’s clear in “3” is Star-Lord’s not happy.  “He’s definitely lost,” Pratt, 43, said.  “Quill is a guy who needs to learn how to swim. He has been hopping from lily pad to lily pad, woman to woman. In the beginning he was running from the death of his mother and pret...

Edwards: Low-income T fares a fair deal for Mass. workers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:04:00 GMT

Every day, hardworking Massachusetts residents face a difficult dilemma: pay for transportation to get to work or afford basic necessities. This is an unfair and unnecessary burden on those who contribute to the economic prosperity of the state. On this International Workers Day, it’s time to take action and make public transportation affordable for our workers with a low-income fare at the MBTA.Unfortunately, Massachusetts has been trending in the opposite direction. For years, the cost of riding the MBTA has increased at a much faster rate than the cost of driving, and recent reports suggest that driving in Boston may actually be cheaper than taking public transit. The Massachusetts legislature can reverse this trend by passing legislation that establishes a permanent low-income fare program and ensures funding for a low-income fare in the Commonwealth’s FY24 Budget.Consider Yinchun Liang, a homecare worker who relies on the MBTA to travel from Charlestown to Chinatown every...

Workers want full-time jobs, career development: Study

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:04:00 GMT

Employer flexibility is crucial. But workers want full-time jobs, not gigs. They expect their pay to rise. Most importantly, career development is top of mind.Those are just some of the findings of a study released last week by ADP Research Institute, which tracks worker sentiment worldwide. Even with the COVID-19 pandemic lingering, workers all over the world seem less concerned about contending with present challenges and are most focused on what’s next.“While flexibility and mental health are still recurrent — and I think permanent fixtures in the workplace — what is dominating this year’s report is career progression,” says Nela Richardson, ADP Research Institute’s chief economist.The study, “People at Work 2023: A Global Workforce View,” found that workers still care most about salary and job security, but they care a little less about both of those than they did last year. Career progression was the standout, with 40% of workers saying it matters most in a job, compared ...

Dear Abby: Ex-GF believes she wasn’t cheating

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:04:00 GMT

Dear Abby: My longtime girlfriend and I broke up recently. One of the reasons was because we didn’t agree on a definition of cheating. She met a friend through work whom I met once, and what I saw and heard during that interaction screamed he was a sleaze who wanted to move in on my girl. I voiced my concerns and asked her to stop seeing this friend, and she agreed.A week later, she renewed the friendship, communicating through Snapchat. For six months she would have drinks with him, go places with him and have conversations with him without telling me. She swears they never did anything physical. I had seen the signs — from time to time I’d notice she wasn’t where she said she would be, the car would smell like smoke, and we were growing apart.One day, I finally had had enough and we agreed to separate. Since our first day apart, they have been together. I have told her she cheated on me and I couldn’t trust her. She insists she wasn’t cheating a...
