Hundreds march in Santa Isabel to protest power outage

Emergency Operations Center activated at central level and in impacted regions

By THE STAR STAFF

Hundreds of marchers from Santa Isabel, Coamo and Aibonito joined the mayors of Santa Isabel and Coamo on Monday morning in a protest march in the former town against private grid operator LUMA Energy due to the serious problem faced by residents of the southern municipalities after a breakdown at a substation in the region.

Santa Isabel Mayor Rafael Burgos Santiago said citizens are not willing to wait between four and seven weeks for their electricity service to return amid collective indignation against the company.

“Our residents can’t take it anymore,” he said. “There is total outrage at the inhumane way the company is working on repairs. No more excuses. We want immediate solutions. The call to action is to the entire country.”

Coamo Mayor Juan Carlos García Padilla said residents demand concrete solutions to the energy problem that also affects Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority plants, also leaving them without water service.

“This situation is devastating for the economy of a sector of the country that struggles to stay alive,” he said. “The effect on commerce, industries and our communities is very serious.”

LUMA Energy announced later on Monday that its transmission brigades had completed work to increase the capacity of transmission line 4800, which connects Aibonito with Santa Isabel, allowing service to be restored in Aibonito, Coamo, Santa Isabel and parts of Barranquitas. The repairs were completed on Sunday night, and are part of ongoing efforts to improve the resilience of the electrical infrastructure in the island south, the company said.

Meanwhile, Bureau for Emergency Management and Disaster Administration (NMEAD) Commissioner Nino Correa Filomeno announced on Monday that the Emergency Operations Center (COE by its initials in Spanish) was activated at the central level and in the regions of Ponce, Guayama and Caguas to address any situation in Aibonito, Coamo and Santa Isabel.

been distributed since last Thursday in Coamo and Santa Isabel. Efforts are being made to continue bringing them food through the Food Bank, and to include Aibonito. I take this opportunity to thank these entities for their support and we will continue to work together to provide help to the people of these towns.”

More information can be found by accessing the NMEAD’s social networks. To report any emergency, call or text 9-1-1 to request assistance from the appropriate agencies.

Also on Monday, Guayama District Sen. Héctor Santiago Torres joined the rising chorus of outrage over the blackout, making an urgent call to Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia to declare a state of emergency given the crisis in the three towns. The situation has severely impacted residents’ quality of life and the operations of local businesses, he said.

“The citizens of Santa Isabel, Coamo and Aibonito cannot endure one more day without electricity. This situation is unsustainable and requires immediate and forceful action,” the senator said. “We ask the governor to declare a state of emergency, which will expedite the distribution of aid and necessary funds to affected citizens and merchants.”

The declaration of a state of emergency will free up funds to mitigate the damage caused by the lack of electricity and provide additional resources to the affected towns, Santiago Torres said, meeting a crucial need and helping guarantee the safety and well-being of the population.

He also called on LUMA Energy to take immediate action and resolve the crisis effectively and quickly.

“It is imperative that LUMA respond to this situation with the urgency it deserves,” the senator said. “We cannot allow our citizens to continue to suffer the consequences of a prolonged lack of electricity.”

“Aware of the situation that the residents of these towns are going through and at the call of the mayors of the affected municipalities, we have activated the COE in order to process any help from government agencies, while LUMA resolves the situation of the lack of electricity,” Correa Filomeno said in a written statement. “Since last week, we have been in constant communication with the mayors and with the help of our Community Hubs program, we have managed for the Food Bank and chef Clemente del Comedor de la Kennedy to bring lunches, which have

PR Supreme Court nullifies 4 MVC candidacies

Resident commissioner candidate Rivera Lassén remains eligible

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rico Supreme Court on Monday disqualified four candidates from the Citizen Victory Movement (MVC by its initials in Spanish), preventing them from running in the November elections.

The top court disqualified Mariana Nogales Molinelli and Gladys Myrna Conty as at-large House candidates, and Rafael Bernabe Riefkohl and Alejandro Santiago Calderón as at-large Senate candidates.

In a divided opinion, the island’s highest judicial forum determined to allow the MVC candidate for resident commissioner, Ana Irma Rivera Lassén, to remain as an eligible candidate in the election.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Maité D. Oronoz Rodríguez, Associate Justices Luis F. Estrella Martínez and Ángel Colón Pérez wrote dissenting opinions.

The disqualified candidates can only run as write-in candidates.

A group of candidates for legislative positions from the Popular Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in February in the San Juan Court of First Instance against more than a dozen candidates from the MVC and Dignity Project.

The plaintiffs, who include District 22 Rep. Jorge Alfredo Rivera Segarra and Guayama District Sen. Héctor Torres Santiago, argued that the MVC candidates failed to comply with the endorsement collection requirements established by the 2020 Electoral Code.

The Court of First Instance agreed, but the island appeals court overturned the ruling.

The Supreme Court did not issue a ruling on the Dignity Project candidates because the Appeals Court said they lacked standing.

By THE STAR STAFF

The island Court of First Instance will review on Thursday a request from the electoral commissioner of the Citizen Victory Movement (MVC), who is seeking documents on the number of deceased people appearing in electoral rosters.

The MVC said State Elections Commission (SEC) Alternate Chairwoman Jessika Padilla Rivera has denied access to crucial information on the demographic registry of deceased voters received by the SEC for their due exclusion from the Electoral Registry.

The issue has generated considerable concern on the island since it is estimated that more than 40,000 deceased people continue to appear in the electoral registry.

“Transparency and accuracy in the management of electoral records are fundamental to guarantee the integrity of the electoral process in Puerto Rico,” MVC Electoral Commissioner Lillian Aponte Dones said.

For these reasons, she said, on April 3, formal requests were made to the SEC to provide the information sought. The requests were approved by four of the five parties represented

in the SEC, with the NPP being the only party opposed to the delivery of the information.

The data requested were an exact copy of the file downloaded from the Demographic Registry platform on the death report on the day of the request (April 3, 2024), a copy of reports (with the implementation of appropriate filters) on the pending cases to exclude, and an Excel table with the information on the deaths sent by the Demographic Registry (as previously shared in August 2020 by the SEC).

The request was made after the numbers provided to the electoral commissioners did not match the reports and statistics, and were constantly changing.

“To this day, the real number of deaths still in the Electoral Registry is unknown due to the lack of management by the responsible offices in the SEC,” Aponte Dones said. “The SEC chair’s refusal to provide this information prevents the thorough investigation necessary to understand and address the current challenges facing the commission in the death exclusion process.”

It is worth noting that other parties do have access to the requested information because they have employees who

work with the documents, Aponte Dones added. She said the situation puts the MVC and its voters in a disadvantageous position, “preventing us from carrying out the oversight work that the Electoral Code delegates to us.”

“This disparity in access to information hinders the fairness of the electoral process and undermines public confidence in the impartiality of the SEC,” she said.

Hearing on names of deceased in voter rosters set for Thursday Poll finds similarities among island and stateside Puerto Rican voters

By THE STAR STAFF

Apoll of Puerto Rican voters published by The Hill found similarities in most political opinions among respondents who live in the United States island territory and the millions of Puerto Ricans who reside in the mainland U.S.

The survey conducted by pollster Izq Strategies for La Brega y Fuerza is an attempt to increase the participation of Puerto Ricans living in the mainland U.S.

According to The Hill, 70% of island-based respondents

support Green New Deal policies, as do 66% of Puerto Ricans living in the mainland U.S.

Residents of Puerto Rico overwhelmingly support Medicare for all: 81% said they’d like to see the program expanded, and 70% of mainland Puerto Rican respondents agreed.

Puerto Rico residents take a more conservative approach to abortion access, as only 47% said they support abortion access, while 37% said they oppose it.

Puerto Ricans who live in the mainland United States are more liberal on that issue, with 59% supporting abortion access.

A 2007 Pew Research survey found that 77% of respondents on the island opposed abortion rights, as did 50% of Puerto Rican respondents on the mainland.

In the new poll, both on and off the island, majorities support a binding plebiscite to determine the territory’s political status. Among island-based voters, 63% said they support such a plebiscite, as do 56% of voters in the mainland U.S.

The poll had relatively small samples — 675 respondents with a 4 percentage point margin of error in the mainland U.S. and 362 respondents on the island with a 6 percentage point margin of error.

The cats of Old San Juan are being run out of town. Locals can empathize.

A federal plan to remove feral cats from the historic site in Puerto Rico’s capital has upset some residents, who are also feeling pushed out as housing costs soar. (Erika P. Rodriguez/The New York Times)

By PATRICIA MAZZEI

Feral cats have roamed the blue cobblestone streets of Old San Juan for as long as anyone can remember. They meander around a historic fortress that looms over San Juan Bay, hiding from the hot sun under sea grape bushes.

San Juaneros feed them. Tourists snap their pictures. But probably not for much longer: The federal agency that manages the fortress and the land around it wants the cats gone, saying that they are a nuisance and could be carrying disease.

Puerto Rico, with its financial troubles and natural disasters, has bigger things to worry about. But the plan to remove close to 200 cats from Old San Juan — a neighborhood of San Juan that was the first place on the island settled by the Spanish — has struck an emotional chord at a time when many in the United States territory feel like they, too, are in danger of being pushed from their homes.

The reasons differ — for the people, it is investors snapping up properties and pushing up rents and home prices — yet in Old San Juan, the two stories could ultimately share the same ending: a beloved neighborhood so changed that, at least some longtime residents fear, it will have lost its soul.

“This town may end up like an empty shell,” said Rei Segurola, 72, who wonders whether he should move out of Old San Juan.

“It may end up with a lot of facades, like Disney or Epcot or Las Vegas.”

The fight over the cats began a couple of years ago, when the National Park Service, which operates the San Juan National Historic Site, a 75-acre stretch of rocky peninsula that includes the old fortress known as El Morro, said the feline population had become too problematic.

San Juan was founded by Spanish colonialists in 1521. The cats have been around at least since the mid-20th century, when a mayor of San Juan is said to have brought them in to kill rats.

Last year, the park service said that its goal was to “alleviate nuisance issues” and “align the visitor experience with the purpose of the park.”

Residents wondered what that meant. Had tourists complained? What about wealthy new investors who moved in during the pandemic? They got few answers.

Thousands of written comments came in, including some in favor of the plan.

“I am a resident of the area and I use the space almost daily and it is extremely unpleasant,” one person wrote in Spanish. “The cats create areas where they accumulate their excretions and it becomes unsanitary and unsafe for one’s health.”

Most of the commenters, though, pleaded for the cats to stay.

“If they are causing any issues,” one

wrote, “it should be left to the people of San Juan to decide. They are the members of the local community who should get the say on whether they want them there or not.”

But in November, the park service decided to press forward. It said that if Save a Gato, a nonprofit organization that has trapped, neutered and spayed the cats of Old San Juan for nearly 20 years, was unable to find homes for about 170 of them by June, it would hire a company to remove and likely euthanize them. Only cats living on the historic site would be removed.

In March, Alley Cat Allies, a nonprofit group based in Maryland, sued in federal court in Washington to stop the plan.

Save a Gato has trapped about 50 of the cats since November; about half of them have been adopted, or soon will be.

The park service did not respond to specific questions about what might happen next. But last Monday, it took the first formal step toward seeking a contractor to remove the remaining cats.

Some of the cats are too feral to adopt. Even catching them can be difficult, said Danielle Tabler, a longtime volunteer.

(Erika P. Rodriguez/The New York Times)

“I’ve been trying to trap one for more than two years,” Tabler said as she and Irma Podestá, who has worked with Save a Gato for 15 years, walked the waterfront trail below the enormous stone fortress, filling several feeding stations with fresh kibble.

Part of the problem is that people keep dropping off more cats. “In Puerto Rico, there are so many abandoned animals,” Podestá said. “It’s a never-ending story.”

The number of abandoned animals on the island surged after Hurricane Maria in 2017, when many Puerto Ricans lost their homes. Amid natural disasters and economic uncertainty, Puerto Rico’s population shrank by about 12% from 2010 to 2020; the island now has about 3.2 million people, many of whom have struggled to keep up with the rising cost of housing in particular.

As she walked, Podestá rattled off the names of friends who used to live in Old San Juan until their rents doubled or tripled and pushed them out.

“I am one of those who always worries that she will get displaced,” she said.

Many of Old San Juan’s brightly painted colonial-era houses, with their tall ceilings and airy courtyards, were once home to artists and craftspeople who gave the place a bohemian feel. Families lived there, too, many over generations. Now, homes have increasingly been turned into vacation rentals. Building after building is lined with the telltale sign of short-term occupancy: combination master locks used to store keys.

Segurola, a retired lawyer and teacher, sold his home in another San Juan neighborhood in 2015 to move to Old San Juan, which he had always loved because it was so charming and close knit. “Now, that sense of community is falling apart,” he said. “It’s the complete opposite of what one looked for and had in Old San Juan.”

He and others blame, at least in part, a tax law passed in Puerto Rico in 2012, when the island faced an economic collapse. The law, now known as Act 60, offers a break on longterm capital gains, dividends, interest and other taxes for investors who buy a home in Puerto Rico if they have not been a resident for at least 10 years prior.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia, who was defeated in a primary election this week, has stood by the law, calling it an important way for Puerto Rico to attract outside investors.

The influx of outside buyers, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, has distorted the real estate market. That, along with

Ponce Health Sciences University graduates 408

By THE STAR STAFF

Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) held its 44th graduation ceremony recently with 408 students completing their studies in a variety of academic programs.

The ceremony, held at the Ponce Fair Complex, featured journalist Jorge Rivera Nieves as the keynote speaker, who offered an inspiring message to the new generation of health professionals.

“In this ceremony, we not only celebrate the graduation of 408 new health professionals, but also the value that each of you represents to continue improving the health of each life you impact and to continue developing the sciences that bring us closer to curing diseases and understanding their causes,” PHSU President Dr. Gino

Natalicchio said in a written statement. “I am confident that, with the training and support they have received, they are prepared to face the challenges of tomorrow and contribute significantly to the well-being of the communities they will serve.”

Natalicchio added that “We are proud to highlight that the Medicine class achieved the highest match rate in PHSU’s history, despite having begun their studies in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“This feat is a testament to the effort and resilience of our students and the quality of our education,” he said.

During the event, it was emphasized that PHSU’s Public Health Program, in addition to maintaining the maximum accreditation for seven years, saw 100% graduation rates in the master’s and doctoral degrees in public health, and the post-graduation results remained at 97%

of master’s graduates and 100% of doctoral graduates currently working or continuing further studies.

Rep. Méndez Nuñez demands transition at top of NPP, and at SEC

By THE STAR STAFF

New Progressive Party (NPP) Rep. Carlos “Johnny” Méndez Nuñez on Monday urged the pro-statehood party to begin a transition immediately by handing over the party’s presidency to Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González Colón.

The resident commissioner defeated incumbent Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia in the NPP gubernatorial primary on June 2.

Méndez Nuñez also blasted the State Elections Commission (SEC) for the numerous errors detected eight days after the primary event.

“It’s been over a week since the New Progressive Party went to the polls and chose a new direction. Jenniffer González was selected as the leader of the NPP. That action is irrefutable; it prevailed at the polls and that is not under discussion. The transition in the party has to happen immediately. It is time for the future governor of Puerto Rico to assume the presidency of the NPP so that she can implement the new policy endorsed by the NPP people, as well as the

appointments of secretary general and electoral commissioner, among others,” he said. “The integrity of the electoral system cannot be damaged, and unfortunately, that is what is happening. Eight days after the event, doubts and questions still persist. It is time for the resident commissioner’s team to take over to address this delay and ‘situations’ that should no longer occur. Other jurisdictions count their votes and certify, so why do they have to wait weeks in Puerto Rico? No. The people of Puerto Rico expect and deserve more than what we are experiencing.”

“We cannot leave an opening for the Financial Oversight and Management Board to question the SEC and the funds that are allocated,” he said. “The next governor must place people in the SEC who will finish the processes on time, with transparency and efficiency. It is time to begin the transition of the NPP in the SEC.”

“As vice president of the NPP, I request speed and transparency in the SEC processes,” added the NPP majority leader in the island House of Representatives. “Delays are unacceptable.”

inflation and rising interest rates, put rents and homeownership out of reach for many Puerto Ricans, said Alonso Ortiz, the founder of El Otro Puerto Rico, a nonprofit organization that tries to slow displacement.

His organization found that 71% of residential properties purchased in Old San Juan between 2018 and 2022 were purchased by beneficiaries of Act 60, or companies associated with

them. Often, Ortiz said, those owners “kick families out, remodel the properties and then turn them into Airbnbs or short-term rentals, causing earlier rent prices to skyrocket.”

Puerto Rico lawmakers passed regulations on short-term rentals last year requiring owners to pay an annual fee on their properties, but critics said more far-reaching action was needed.

Margarita Gandía, a longtime Old San Juan resident and real estate agent, said that with clients seeking investment properties, she tries to emphasize the district’s historic character and friendly

“Old San Juan is going to become a ghost town,” she said. “You don’t run into neighbors. People used to say good morning. Yes, you can feel the difference.”

Pleas from Gandía and other residents to the city government to do a better job of collecting trash and regulating noise have gone unheeded, she said, “as if we did not exist,” while the federal government addresses what she considers the more trivial cat issue.

“The cats,” she said, “are not the problem.”

Research finds significant racial disparities in Medicaid reenrollment

By NOAH WEILAND

Black and Hispanic Americans were twice as likely as white Americans to lose Medicaid last year because of an inability to complete renewal forms during a vast trimming of the program’s rolls, according to a study published earlier this month in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

The findings from researchers at the Oregon Health & Science University, Harvard Medical School and Northwestern University are some of the first comprehensive data on race gathered after a pandemic-era policy that allowed Medicaid recipients to keep their coverage without regular eligibility checks ended last year.

More than 22 million low-income people have lost health care coverage at some point since April 2023, when the policy allowing continuous enrollment lapsed. The process of ending that policy — what federal and state officials have called “unwinding” — was one of the most drastic ruptures in the health safety net in a generation.

“Medicaid eligibility is complex, and then applying and keeping Medicaid coverage is a huge logistical barrier,” said Dr. Jane M. Zhu, an associate professor of medicine at the Oregon Health & Science University and one of the study’s authors. “What

Among those who could not complete the process of renewing their Medicaid coverage, Black and Hispanic Americans were twice as likely as white people to lose their health insurance, a new study found. (Isadora Kosofsky/The New York Times)

this analysis is showing is that these barriers have downstream spillover effects on particular communities.”

Researchers have found that increases in health insurance coverage across racial and ethnic groups from 2019 to 2022 were largely driven by Medicaid.

A provision in a coronavirus relief package passed by Congress in 2020 required states to keep recipients of the joint federal-state health insurance program for the poor continuously enrolled in exchange for additional federal funding.

By early 2023, more than 90 million people were enrolled in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or more than 1 in 4 Americans. That was up from about 70 million people at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. About half of Medicaid enrollees are Black or Hispanic, and around 40% are white.

As of May, Medicaid enrollment had declined by more than 13 million, including more than 5 million children, according to the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families.

Many of those who lost coverage had incomes that were too high to qualify for Medicaid or had aged out of the program. But about 70% of those who lost coverage might have still been eligible and fell out of Medicaid because of bureaucratic reasons, such as failing to return paperwork on time, according to KFF, a nonprofit health policy research group.

The study published June 3, which used Census Bureau survey data on health insurance enrollment from late March 2023 to October 2023, focused on the group of Americans who lost coverage for technical reasons.

There is otherwise little data from the unwinding to help researchers and federal officials understand who has been affected most from the shrinking of the Medicaid rolls.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services did not require states to report enrollment decisions during the unwinding by race or ethnicity. Only about 10 states have shared that data with the Biden administration.

“This data is vitally important and is information that we simply don’t have,” said Jennifer Tolbert, a Medicaid and state health policy expert at KFF.

The study did not determine that Black and Hispanic people were more likely than white people to lose Medicaid overall, only that they were a disproportionate number of the large subset of people who could not complete the renewal process.

Zhu acknowledged other limitations to the study. Because the data was self-reported, she said, some Medicaid recipients might have actually lost coverage because they were no longer eligible and believed they had been dropped from the program for bureaucratic reasons.

Health policy experts said the study exposed how diffuse and varied Medicaid administration could be, with sometimes significant demands on enrollees who might not have internet access or the ability to renew their coverage in person with state officials.

Tolbert pointed to findings from a recent KFF survey that showed Black and Hispanic adults were more likely than white adults to be asked to prove their residency as part of renewing their Medicaid coverage.

States have also used different technology and procedures to vet Medicaid eligibility, some of which contained glitches that led to program recipients being unfairly disenrolled.

The differences in state unwinding strategies have had “big implications on the ability of people to enroll or renew their coverage,” Tolbert said.

Zhu said fixes for the study’s findings should be “low-hanging fruit.”

“Do we have the right contact information? Are we sending enrollment and eligibility paperwork to the right people at the right time? Are we considering all different forms of automatically reenrolling individuals?” she said. “These are all things that are systems issues, systems barriers that should be easy to address, and by addressing them can limit disruptions.”

Protest against Gaza war draws thousands to the White House

By MINHO KIM

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protest-

ers in Washington converged around the White House on Saturday, urging President Joe Biden to stop all military aid to Israel and calling for an immediate cease-fire in Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.

Holding signs calling Biden a liar, the protesters, mostly clad in red and bearing Palestinian flags, marched around the block of parkland where the White House sits. They spilled across two six-lane boulevards, pushing out tourists, whose faces showed variations of confusion, anger or intrigue. The police presence was heavy, and the U.S. Park Police used pepper spray against a protester at least once.

Biden was in France, where he joined President Emmanuel Macron for a state dinner in Paris on Saturday night. But the dissenting voices in the American capital highlighted the challenges he faces domestically as he tries to carve out a narrow position that both supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas and calls for a quick cessation of hostilities.

The pro-Palestinian activists outside the White House, who were highly critical of the Biden administration’s response to the war, encouraged a key portion of Biden’s base — young and nonwhite voters — to reconsider their support for the president in the election this fall.

“There is no world in which I can confidently vote for” Biden, said Nas Issa, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Youth Movement, one of the left-leaning groups that organized Saturday’s protest. If Biden “doesn’t change course and hold Netanyahu and the Israeli

government at large to account, under what circumstances would it be acceptable to any person of conscience to vote for him?” she added, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

On Saturday afternoon, some protesters created a ring along the mile-long White House perimeter, unspooling consecutive lengths of red paper on which names of the more than 36,000 Palestinians who had been killed during the war were written. The others marched along the perimeter. The format was intended to evoke a red line that, if crossed by the Israeli military in Gaza, would cause Biden to withhold weapons shipments to Israel.

But Biden and his administration have said recent strikes that killed dozens of Palestinians in the Gaza city of Rafah did not amount to his red line for Israel. John Kirby, a White House spokesperson, has said the United States would need to see “a major ground operation” — not airstrikes — to step up its pressure on Israel.

“Biden’s red line was a lie!” read one of the pickets frequently used by the protesters.

The protesters who gathered Saturday to apply political pressure to Biden said their biggest demand was the freezing of all weapons shipments to Israel until the war stops. The United States has committed $38 billion in military aid to Israel over 10 years.

“We’re funding it,” said Alexia Samano, a protester who traveled to Washington from Orlando, Florida. “Stop funding this.”

No arrests had been made by late Saturday afternoon, when tens of thousands of protesters finished marching around the perimeter, according to law enforcement. But statues in Lafayette Square, on the northern side of the White House, were vandalized

with handwritten scribbles that read “free Palestine.” Two statues of cherubs were also covered in a red, gooey substance that seemed to represent blood.

And many protesters chanted slogans that some Jewish groups have said incite violence against Jews, such as “there is only one solution: intifada, revolution,” as well as “From the river to the sea, Palestine will

be free.”

But according to one protester, such slogans were not a call for violence against Jewish people, but for a broader resistance against the status quo.

“We don’t have anything against Jews,” said Adam Kattom, a founding member of Peoria for Palestine, who had traveled 12 hours from Peoria, Illinois, to join the demonstration.

In Las Vegas, Trump appeals to local workers and avoids talk of conviction

saying that Biden’s border policies constituted an “all-out war” on Black and Hispanic Americans.

Trump again criticized Biden’s recent executive order meant to deter illegal crossings at the U.S. border with Mexico, calling it “weak,” “ineffective” and garbage, though he used an expletive.

In response, the crowd began chanting the expletive, as his supporters did in Arizona when he used the same description. “This word seems to be catching on a little bit,” Trump said approvingly. (When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., spoke before Trump took the stage, her remarks prompted three identical chants.)

At the rally in Las Vegas on Sunday, the Trump campaign formally announced its Latino outreach effort, known as Latino Americans for Trump, and a number of Hispanic Americans spoke before Trump did.

Nevada has a large Hispanic population, and polls show that Trump’s support among the state’s working-class and Latino voters is increasing. His campaign is trying to capitalize on dissatisfaction among those groups with Biden’s handling of the economy.

Linda Fornos, a Las Vegas resident who came to the United States from Nicaragua, said that she voted for Biden in 2020 but that she was disappointed with his administration. “For many years, I believed in the promises of the Democrats for more opportunities for the Latino community,” she said.

Trump’s pledge to eliminate taxes on tips for restaurant and hospitality workers was a direct appeal to that group, a significant force in the Las Vegas area. “When I get into office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips,” he said.

By MICHAEL GOLD

Former President Donald Trump stood in blazing heat in a Las Vegas park Sunday and directly appealed to working-class voters by promising to eliminate taxes on tips for hospitality workers.

But beyond that proposal, little at Trump’s campaign rally suggested that his new status as a felon had changed his message. And when Trump’s teleprompter apparently stopped working, his speech — which his campaign advisers had billed as focused on issues of local concern to Nevada voters — devolved into familiar stories and riffs.

“I got no teleprompters, and I haven’t from the beginning,” Trump said after speaking for roughly 15 minutes, though his speech included excerpts from prepared remarks that his campaign had provided to reporters. “That probably means we’ll make a better speech now.”

Trump repeatedly voiced his frustration with the lack of a teleprompter, even though he has often boasted of his ability to give long speeches without one.

His remarks, which lasted roughly an hour, felt unfocused as he cycled through well-worn territory, railing against electric vehicles, immigration, the four criminal cases brought against him and President Joe Biden’s physical and mental condition.

Once again, Trump broadly depicted migrants

crossing the border illegally as violent criminals or mentally ill people, and then recited “The Snake,” a standby poem he has used since 2016 to expound on the threat he believes immigrants lacking permanent legal status pose to the country.

He continued to revive his unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 election. And he baselessly insisted Democrats would try to cheat in November, sowing doubt about the general election months before a single vote has been cast.

“Don’t let them cheat,” he told the crowd in Nevada. “You watch that vote and watch it all the way.”

Trump again praised the mob of his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, calling them “J6 warriors,” suggesting they had legitimate reasons to try to stop Congress from certifying the presidential election and saying that they had somehow been “set up” that day.

“They were warriors, but they’re really, more than anything else, they’re victims of what happened,” Trump said. “All they were doing were protesting a rigged election.”

Trump said next to nothing about his recent conviction on 34 felony charges in New York, but he lamented the four times he was indicted last year as a “disgrace.”

Still, a number of people at the rally wore shirts reading “I’m voting for the convicted felon.”

Much as he did at a town-hall-style forum last week in Phoenix, Trump spoke at length about immigration,

After the rally, the Culinary Workers Union, a key part of the Democratic coalition in the state, attacked Trump’s proposal as hollow.

“Relief is definitely needed for tip earners, but Nevada workers are smart enough to know the difference between real solutions and wild campaign promises from a convicted felon,” Ted Pappageorge, the secretary-treasurer of the union, which has 60,000 members, said in a statement.

Trump’s rally in Nevada, a key battleground state, concluded a multiple-day Western swing that started Thursday with a forum in Phoenix hosted by the conservative group Turning Point Action.

As record-high temperatures hit Phoenix, at least 11 people at that indoor event were taken to the hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion. The Trump campaign took steps to avoid similar issues in Las Vegas, where the heat was less severe but where the rally was held outside. At least six people on Sunday were taken from the event to the hospital, according to the Clark County Fire Department.

After his speech in Phoenix, Trump attended three fundraisers in California and one in Las Vegas. Chris LaCivita, one of Trump’s two campaign managers, said the campaign had raised about $27.5 million across the four events, a figure that cannot be independently verified until campaign filings are made public in the coming months.

US hiring rises strongly, along with wages

By LYDIA DePILLIS

The U.S. economy keeps throwing curveballs, and the May employment report is the latest example.

Employers added 272,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported late last week, well above what economists had expected as hiring had gradually slowed. That’s an increase from the 232,000-job average over the previous 12 months, scrambling the picture of an economy that’s relaxing into a more sustainable pace.

Most concerning for the Federal Reserve, which meets next week and again in July, wages rose 4.1% from a year ago — a sign that inflation might not yet be vanquished.

“For those who may have thought they would see a July rate cut, that door has largely been shut,” said Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist for U.S. Bank. Although wage gains are good for workers, she noted, persistent price increases undermine their spending power.

Stocks fell shortly after the report was published, then recovered most of their losses by the end of the day. Government bond yields, which track expectations for Fed rate moves, rose sharply and remained elevated through the trading day.

But the portrait of an accelerating labor market isn’t perfectly clear, either. In another part of the report, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4%, its highest point since January 2022. That number is drawn from a survey of households, which showed essentially no employment growth for the past year and rising part-time employment that had displaced full-time positions.

The data from employers that generates the job growth number tends to be more reliable, but the household survey has recently been more consistent with other indicators. Retail sales have flattened. The growth rate of gross domestic product declined markedly in the first quarter. The number of job openings is as low as it has been since 2021.

That’s why most economists have expected employment growth to continue slowing, and the unemployment rate to rise further this year.

“Other than health care, we’re not seeing as much strength in the data,” said Parul Jain, chief investment strategist with MacroFin Analytics. “Growth in 2024 is unlikely to be very strong, consumers are pulling back quite a bit, and we expect that disposable income is also going to be affected.”

Health care has been the backbone of hiring for 2 1/2 years, delivering 18.6% of the jobs added. An aging population has driven demand, and rising insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act has given more people access to care.

On the other hand, leisure and hospitality — which was harmed more than any other sector by COVID-19 lockdowns — took until April to regain its February 2020 employment level. Forecasts of a record summer travel season may propel that number higher in the coming months, though few expect job growth to outdo last year’s numbers. United Airlines, for example, announced this week

that it expected to add 10,000 jobs this year, down from 16,000 in 2023 and 15,000 the year before that, as pandemic recovery transitions into organic growth.

One reason job growth surpassed forecasts was government employment, which has been recovering quickly but was expected to slump as federal pandemic relief funding runs dry. The sector instead added 43,000 jobs in May. But a slowdown may still be in the offing.

The labor market’s impressive run has been fueled both by a rebound in legal immigration and by an influx of millions of migrants with temporary status, many of whom have found work with the aid of accelerated work permits. According to calculations by the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, hiring has fallen sharply for nativeborn workers, but it has held up for those born outside the country.

That impact may also fade as President Joe Biden’s executive order limiting asylum-seekers at the southern border takes effect.

One favorable sign about the workforce: The share of people ages 25-54 who are working or looking for work reached its highest level since early 2002, at 83.6%. Women in that age bracket have led the way, and in May reached their highest participation rate on record.

The picture is not as rosy for adults in their early 20s, whose participation rate dropped in May. As employers hold on to their workers and fewer leave voluntarily, there

is less room for those with little work experience, who have been finding jobs at lower rates.

Workers over 55 have also not returned to the workforce in large numbers — their participation rate remains 2 full percentage points below where it was before the pandemic. But some people have been driven back as costs have risen and retirement funds haven’t quite been able to cover them.

Biden chose to focus on the job-creation side of the report. “On my watch, 15.6 million more Americans have the dignity and respect that comes with a job,” he said in a news release. But in a nod to deep concerns about stubborn inflation, Biden also emphasized his efforts to bring down prices.

The path of the labor market heading into the fall carries deep implications for the coming election. And while most forecasters see growth fading, the likelihood of an outright recession is as low as it has been in several years, barring some external event like an escalation of wars or an unforeseen financial crisis.

“We could be just teetering along right where we’d want to be at a steady equilibrium,” said Brad Hershbein, deputy director of research at the Upjohn Institute, “where things are mostly hunky dory, inflation continues to come down, the labor market returns to a place where we’d be expecting between 150,000 and 175,000 jobs per month.”

S&P 500, Nasdaq post record closing highs; Fed meeting, CPI ahead

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq eked out record closing highs on Monday, although investors were cautious ahead of this week’s consumer prices report, a Federal Reserve policy announcement and Apple’s developer conference.

Providing some support to the Nasdaq and S&P 500, Nvidia shares ended up 0.7%, the session after a 10-forone stock split. Some investors now believe the chip maker might be included in the blue-chip Dow.

The Consumer Price Index report for May is due Wednesday along with the conclusion of the Fed’s two-day policy meeting.

The central bank, which will release updated economic and policy projections, is expected to hold interest rates steady. Investors will look for clues on when the U.S. central bank may begin to cut interest rates.

“This is an important week for the market in terms of comments and messaging from the Federal Reserve,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist, LPL Financial in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“In addition to that, you’re going see Wednesday morning the CPI report. Anything related to the economy and anything related to inflation is viewed by the market through the lens of the Federal Reserve.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 69.05 points, or 0.18%, to 38,868.04, the S&P 500 gained 13.8 points, or 0.26%, to 5,360.79 and the Nasdaq Composite added 59.40 points, or 0.35%, to 17,192.53.

Traders dialed back expectations for rate cuts in September after Friday’s stronger-than-expected jobs data for May, with the odds of a reduction at 50%.

“I feel like it’s going to be pretty muted as people try to hedge themselves for what they might see on Wednesday,” said Alex McGrath, private wealth advisor at NorthEnd Private Wealth.

Apple shares dipped 1.9% ahead of the iPhone maker’s annual developer conference. Investors are eager for updates on how it is integrating artificial intelligence into its offerings.

Among the day’s gainers, Southwest Airlines jumped 7% after activist investor Elliott Investment Management disclosed it has built up a $1.9 billion position in the company.

Diamond Offshore Drilling shares climbed 10.9% after oilfield services company Noble said it would buy the smaller rival in a $1.59 billion deal. Noble shares rose 6.1%.

Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.06-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.01-to-1 ratio favored advancers.

The S&P 500 posted 19 new 52-week highs and 5 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 56 new highs and 177 new lows.

Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.39 billion shares, compared with the 12.80 billion average for the full session

MSCI’S global equities index edged higher on Monday while investors waited for key U.S. inflation data and central bank policy meetings but the euro fell after French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election.

U.S. Treasury yields rose as investors digested Friday’s labor market data and looked toward consumer price data and a Federal Reserve policy announcement this week. Investors are also waiting on Bank of Japan policy news.

Adding further uncertainty to a busy week was fresh political uncertainty in the euro zone’s second-biggest econo-

The euro fell to a one-month low against the dollar, while European stocks slipped.

“There’s a little bit of uncertainty coming from a couple of areas. Look at the elections over the weekend in Europe. The uncertainty there is creating a fair amount of volatility,” said Chad Oviatt, director of investment management at Huntington National Bank.

Europe’s STOXX 600 index earlier closed down 0.27% while France’s blue-chip CAC 40 index .FCHI fell 1.4% to touch a more than three-month low.

In EU elections, the center holds, but the far right still wreaks havoc

By MATINA STEVIS-GRIDNEFF

Casting ballots in 27 countries, voters largely backed centrists in European Parliament elections, but far-right parties made serious inroads in France and Germany.

Partial results made public late Sunday showed that centrist political groups were poised to lose some seats, but still maintain a clear majority of more than 400 seats in the 720-seat assembly.

Even so, the outcome seemed likely to steel the far right as a disruptive force and unsettled the bloc’s mainstream establishment.

The balloting indicates that the prevailing winds have grown chill for some of Europe’s political establishment and underscored that the momentum of the far-right forces over the past decade had yet to crest.

In France, the voting ushered in a political earthquake. Soon after the results were announced, President Emmanuel Macron announced on national television that he would dissolve the country’s National Assembly and call for new legislative elections.

“The rise of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation and for Europe,” he warned.

The outcome may put Marine Le Pen, Macron’s main rival, in her strongest position yet to challenge the French mainstream in presidential elections three years from now. Macron must step aside then because of term limits.

The far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, officially labeled a “suspected” extremist group by German authorities, also had a strong showing.

Projections gave the party about 16% of the vote. The result placed AfD behind the mainstream conservative Christian Democratic Union, but ahead of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats, making it the country’s second-ranking party.

European Parliament groups that hold a nationalist, anti-immigrant agenda will now likely control about 130 seats, a better showing than the last election in 2019.

Right-wing parties now govern alone

or as part of coalitions in seven of the European Union’s 27 countries. They have gained across the continent as voters have grown more concentrated on nationalism and identity, often tied to migration and some of the same culture-war politics pertaining to gender and LGBTQ issues that have gained traction in the United States.

The strong far-right showing was likely to reverberate even in the United States, where it can be expected to hearten kindred political forces loyal to former President Donald Trump as he seeks a return to office.

Other factors contributing to the right’s rise include lingering anger over COVID-era policies, as well as the inflation that grew in the wake of the pandemic and as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, which pushed Europe to turn away from cheap Russian energy.

The election exposed real weaknesses for the governments in France and Germany, the EU’s core members. Traditionally, little can happen in the bloc without their leadership.

“With Trump possibly over the horizon and a major war in Europe, there’s a serious question over how Europe will be

able to respond to these threats in light of the weakness in France and Germany back home,” said Mujtaba Rahman, Europe director at the Eurasia Group consultancy.

European Union leaders have already watered down environmental policies and overhauled the bloc’s migration policies to address concerns by traditional conservative and voters further on the right. But the electoral success of more radical right-wing parties could lead to still tighter borders and a paring back of the EU’s climate ambitions.

Despite the gains for the far right, the mainstream conservative group in the European Parliament, the European People’s Party, was set to hold first place and score significant gains, with 189 seats, 13 more than in the last election. But the two other centrist parties took losses, eroding the political center on the European level.

The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats was set to finish second with 135 seats, losing four. And the Renew group, a liberal political grouping, were poised to lose 1 in 5 of their seats, finishing with 83.

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission and a mem-

ber of the European conservatives, celebrated her party’s victory and issued an open call to other centrists to work with her to guarantee “a strong and effective Europe.”

“We are an anchor of stability,” von der Leyen told reporters at the European Parliament in Brussels late Sunday evening. “The result,” she said, “comes with great responsibility for the parties of the center. We may differ on individual points, but we all have an interest in stability.”

The election’s biggest losers seemed to be the Greens, who saw their support crater by one-quarter compared with five years ago. Still, the Greens, with their 53 seats, could play an important role bolstering centrist majorities as an alternative to furtherright parties.

Final figures from all 27 EU countries were expected to be made public early Monday.

The results seemed largely to maintain the balance of power in the European Parliament, which approves legislation, the bloc’s budget and its top leaders, including the president of the mighty European Commission, the EU’s executive branch.

The first test of the weaker centrist majority will be over the approval of the new European Commission president, set to take place in July.

Von der Leyen, who was approved for her job five years ago by the narrow margin of just nine votes and is likely to be nominated again, will need to lobby intensively to secure her appointment.

Having narrowly dodged needing to bring radical right-wing parties behind her, a scenario that would have alienated centrists, she will now likely face demands for more moderate policy commitments on climate in particular, by the Socialists and Liberals whose votes she’ll need to secure a second term at the helm of the Commission.

Her agreement with the potential centrist partners on migration and on Ukraine will make for a smoother process.

A simple majority vote is required to approve the European Commission president, but it is done by in secret, a factor that has in the past led to attrition among presumed supporters.

Mexico’s leftists won big. Investors are worried.

By NATALIE KITROEFF

Afinal count of votes released over the weekend suggests Mexico’s leftist governing party and its allies would capture large majorities in Congress, potentially enabling the coalition to pass sweeping changes to the constitution.

The official tally from last week’s elections showed that the party, Morena, and its partners appeared on their way to clinching a two-thirds supermajority in the lower house of Congress.

In the Senate, it seemed that the coalition would fall short of a supermajority — but by a small number of seats, analysts said, meaning it would probably need to attract the support of only a few opposition legislators to alter the constitution. Building those alliances “is relatively easy to achieve,” the party’s president, Mario Delgado, said in an interview.

“We are now a dominant force,” Delgado added, “by the decision of the people.”

The final makeup of the legislature is still unclear because a share of seats in the Mexican Congress are appointed via a system of proportional representation in August. Legal challenges could also affect how seats are allocated. But Morena has come close enough to total dominance to prompt a strong reaction from a sector that the party can’t ignore: the financial markets.

In the volatile days after the election, investors’ alarm has been on full display, with Mexican stocks battered and the peso suffering its worst week since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The concern centered on the possibility that Morena would use its broad mandate to enact constitutional changes that detractors warn could gut existing checks on presidential authority, financial analysts said.

The proposals were first introduced by Andrés Manuel López Obrador and include plans to eliminate independent regulators and to appoint judges and election officials via popular vote, which critics warn could make them more susceptible to political pressure. Among other concerns, investors fear that upending the judiciary could make it less certain that they’ll get a fair hearing in disputes.

“The feeling of the market is that under the More-

na party and with this plan on the table, a radical change could be coming,” said Janneth Quiroz Zamora, director of economic research at brokerage Monex. “The biggest fear is about the possible elimination of checks on executive power.”

In what seemed to be an attempt to calm the market, the incoming president, Claudia Sheinbaum, a protege of López Obrador’s, announced June 3 that the current finance minister, Rogelio Ramírez de la O, who is seen as a stabilizing force, would stay in the job.

“He is a great public servant who provides certainty of good financial and economic management,” she said.

Sheinbaum won the presidency with the largest share of votes in decades, and Morena also claimed most of the governorships on offer.

Sheinbaum initial comments encouraged investors that “the government was sensitive to their concerns,” said Blanca Heredia, a political analyst based in Mexico City. That was “mostly because of the speed of the reaction,” Heredia said, noting that the new president “needs and wants economic growth.”

But then on Thursday, the leader of Morena in the lower house of Congress, Ignacio Mier, appeared to announce that the party would seek to approve the constitutional changes in September, before López Obrador steps down and Sheinbaum takes over.

The peso fell again. Hours later, Mier walked back his statement in a radio appearance in which he suggested that any changes wouldn’t be rushed through.

Sheinbaum later told reporters that the measures would

be subject to broad dialogue. She also posted a photo of herself meeting with an executive from investment firm BlackRock. “They are committed and enthusiastic about increasing investment projects in Mexico,” she said on social media.

Delgado said López Obrador and Sheinbaum would need to agree on how to move forward with the plans.

“These are reforms that will need to be discussed and their reach, their final version, will come about in the Congress, and the pace of their approval will be decided by the president,” he said, referring to Sheinbaum.

The upshot, analysts said, is that in a political system where one party has so much control, the market could emerge as a moderating force.

“I do think this adverse reaction from the market is going to cause a very thorough rethinking of what they are going to approve and how they are going to approve it in September,” said Joan Domene, a Mexico City-based senior economist for Latin America at Oxford Economics, an economic consultancy.

López Obrador, though, seemed undeterred. At his regular news conference Friday morning, he reiterated his commitment to the changes and seemed to minimize the peso’s declines, saying that “justice is above the markets.”

The mixed messages showed, analysts said, that investors’ influence will depend on whether the people leading Morena — including López Obrador — actually listen to them.

“Markets are a straitjacket for politics,” Domene said. “But not for everyone equally.”

Denmark’s prime minister is attacked in Copenhagen square

By MAYA TEKELI

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark was attacked in a busy square in Copenhagen on Friday evening in an assault that left her “shaken,” her office said, though she was able to walk away. Police said they had made an arrest.

“We have a suspect in custody, and we are now investigating the matter,” Copenhagen police said, without commenting further. The motive for the attack is unclear. The suspect, whom police described as a 39-year-old man, was expected to appear in court Saturday afternoon.

The prime minister’s office released a statement saying she had been “beaten,” several media outlets reported, but it was unclear what injuries she had sustained. On Saturday, her office said she had been taken to a hospital and had suffered “minor whiplash” but was in otherwise good condition.

Several Danish politicians expressed their concern over the incident.

“Mette is naturally shocked by the assault,” Magnus Heunicke, Denmark’s minister for the environment, wrote on social media. “I must say, it shakes all of us who are close to her.”

Frederiksen, 46, has been prime minister since 2019. She leads the center-left Social Democrats.

The attack came just days before Danes will vote in the European Union elections.

The assault resonated beyond Denmark’s borders, with the prime ministers of Finland and Sweden sending their support. It happened not even a month after Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia was shot and badly wounded in an assassination attempt he survived.

Frederiksen was in France on Thursday and gave a speech during commemorations for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. She honored the sacrifices of Danish soldiers and extolled the virtues of freedom, saying, “Freedom is not a legacy. Freedom is a fight, a battle, a struggle. Every day. Every hour. Right now.”

The day my old church canceled me was a very sad day

By DAVID FRENCH

This week, the leaders of the Presbyterian Church in America will gather in Richmond, Virginia, for their annual General Assembly. The Presbyterian Church in America is a small, theologically conservative Christian denomination that was my family’s church home for more than 15 years.

It just canceled me.

I am now deemed too divisive to speak to a gathering of Christians who share my faith. I was scheduled to speak about the challenges of dealing with toxic polarization, but I was considered too polarizing.

I was originally invited to join three other panelists on the topic of “how to be supportive of your pastor and church leaders in a polarized political year.” One of the reasons I was invited was precisely that I’ve been the target of intense attacks online and in real life.

The instant my participation was announced, those attacks started up again. There were misleading essays, vicious tweets, letters and even a parody song directed at the denomination and at me. The message was clear: Get him off the stage.

And that’s what the conference organizers chose to do. They didn’t just cancel me. They canceled the entire panel. But the reason was obvious: My presence would raise concerns about the peace and unity of the church.

Our family joined the PCA denomination in 2004. We lived in Philadelphia and attended Tenth Presbyterian Church in Center City. At the time, the denomination fit us perfectly. I’m conservative theologically and politically, and in 2004 I was still a partisan Republican. At the same time, however, I perceived the denomination as relatively apolitical. I never heard political messages from the pulpit, and I worshipped alongside Democratic friends.

When we moved to Tennessee in 2006, we selected our house in part because it was close to a PCA church, and that church became the center of our lives. On Sundays we attended services, and Monday through Friday our kids attended the school our church founded and supported.

We loved the people in that church, and they loved us. When I deployed to Iraq in 2007, the entire church rallied to support my family and to support the men I served with. They flooded our small forward operating base with care packages, and back home, members of the church helped my wife and children with meals, car repairs and plenty of love and companionship in anxious times.

Two things happened that changed our lives, however, and in hindsight they’re related. First, in 2010, we adopted a 2-year-old girl from Ethiopia. Second, in 2015, Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign.

There was no way I could support Trump. It wasn’t just his obvious lack of character that troubled me; he was opening the door to a level of extremism and malice in Republican politics that I’d never encountered before. Trump’s rise coincided with the rise of the alt-right.

I was a senior writer for National Review at the time, and when I wrote pieces critical of Trump, members of the alt-right pounced, and they attacked us through our daughter. They pulled pictures of her from social media and photoshopped her into gas chambers and lynchings. Trolls found my wife’s blog

on a religious website called Patheos and filled the comments section with gruesome pictures of dead and dying Black victims of crime and war. We also received direct threats.

The experience was shocking. At times, it was terrifying. And so we did what we always did in times of trouble: We turned to our church for support and comfort. Our pastors and close friends came to our aid, but support was hardly universal. The church as a whole did not respond the way it did when I deployed. Instead, we began encountering racism and hatred up close, from people in our church and in our church school.

On several occasions, men approached my wife when I was out of town, challenging her to defend my writing and sometimes quoting a far-right pastor named Douglas Wilson. Wilson is a notorious Christian nationalist and slavery apologist who once wrote that abolitionists were “driven by a zealous hatred of the word of God” and that “slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races that we believe we can say has never existed in any nation before the war or since.”

We also began to see the denomination itself with new eyes. To my shame, the racism and extremism within the denomination was invisible to us before our own ordeal. But there is a faction of explicitly authoritarian Christian nationalists in the church, and some of that Christian nationalism has disturbing racial elements underpinning it.

A member of the denomination wrote “The Case for Christian Nationalism,” one of the most popular Christian nationalist books of the Trump era. It argues that “no nation (properly conceived) is composed of two or more ethnicities” and that “to exclude an out-group is to recognize a universal good for man.”

I do not want to paint with too broad a brush. Our pastors and close friends continued to stand with us. Our church disciplined the man who confronted me about Trump during communion. And most church members didn’t follow politics closely and had no idea about any of the attacks we faced.

But for us, church no longer felt like home. We could withstand the trolls online. We could guard against physical threats. But it was hard to live without any respite, and the targeting of my children was a bridge too far. So we left for a wonderful multiethnic church in Nashville. We didn’t leave Christianity; we left a church that inflicted harm on my family.

I still have many friends in the Presbyterian Church in America, people who are fighting the very forces that drove us from the church. In March, one of those friends reached out and asked if I’d join a panel at this year’s General Assembly.

I agreed to come. The PCA extended a formal invitation for me to join a panel with three church elders to speak at a session before the main event. I knew the invitation would be controversial. Members of the denomination have continued to attack me online. But that was part of the point of the panel. My experience was directly relevant to others who might find themselves in the crosshairs of extremists.

The anger against me wasn’t simply over my opposition to Trump. It was directly related to the authoritarian turn in white evangelical politics. My commitment to individual liberty and pluralism means that I defend the civil liberties of all Americans, including people with whom I have substantial disagreements. A number of Republican evangelicals are furious at me, for example, for defending the civil liberties of drag queens and LGBTQ families. A writer for The Federalist ranted that granting

me a platform was akin to “giving the wolf a brand-new wool coat and microphone and daring the sheep to object.”

The panel was announced on May 9. On May 14, the denomination caved. It canceled the panel, and in its public statement, I was to blame. I was sacrificed on the altar of peace and unity. But it is a false peace and a false unity if extremists can bully a family out of a church and then block the church from hearing one of its former members describe his experience. It is a false peace and a false unity if it is preserved by granting the most malicious members of the congregation veto power over church events.

SAN JUAN – En respuesta a la reciente crisis de energía eléctrica que ha afectado a miles de ciudadanos que residen en el sur, el Departamento de Agricultura (DA), estará distribuyendo cajas de alimentos a las familias afectadas de los municipios de Aibonito, Coamo y Santa Isabel. El esfuerzo, a su vez, es parte del proyecto bajo los fondos del Programa Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement (LFPA), que cuenta con una asignación de $18. 2 millones para la compra directa a agroempresarios para atender a las poblaciones desfavorecidas.

Para mañana, martes, 11 de junio personal del DA,

estará desde las 9:00 a.m. en la Plaza Pública en Coamo, haciendo entrega de las cajas de alimentos que incluyen frutas, verduras y otros productos. Mientras que, para el miércoles, 12 de junio se entregarán los alimentos a los ciudadanos de Santa Isabel y Aibonito desde las 10:00 a.m. en sus respectivas Plazas Públicas.

“Estamos extendiéndole a nuestros hermanos y hermanas del sur apoyo ante la crisis que atraviesan, entendiendo las dificultades que están pasando. Junto con el personal del Departamento estaremos entregando cajas de alimentos frescos y de calidad de agricultores de Puerto Rico a todos los que residen en Aibonito, Coamo y Santa Isabel”, indicó el secretario del DA, Ramón González Beiró.

Candidato a la gobernación de Proyecto Dignidad reclama

SAN JUAN – La Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE) enfrenta una crisis de legitimidad que afecta la democracia en Puerto Rico, según Javier Jiménez, candidato a gobernador por Proyecto Dignidad, que a su juicio, las recientes irregularidades en el evento primarista han puesto en duda el desempeño de la CEE.

“El evento primarista, entre solo dos partidos y una fracción de las candidaturas que habrán de presentarse en la elección general, se ha visto marcado por atrasos e irregularidades que el pueblo no se merece. Irregularidades cuya responsabilidad recae directamente en la Oficina de Sistemas y Procesos Electorales (OSIPE), dentro de la CEE, que es la encargada de las máquinas de conteo de votos y de la divulgación de resultados, y que está controlada por el PNP y el PPD, excluyendo a los demás partidos,” explicó Jiménez en declaraciones escritas.

Jiménez enfatizó la importancia de un sistema electoral confiable para garantizar la voluntad democrática del pueblo. “El derecho al voto es la expresión de la voluntad

del pueblo y pilar fundamental de la democracia. Sin embargo, para garantizar la voluntad democrática del pueblo, es imprescindible un sistema electoral confiable. Esta crisis electoral provocada por OSIPE hace imperativo que Proyecto Dignidad tenga representación en esa oficina. Es obligación de todos los partidos políticos exigir la transparencia, rendición de cuentas y sobre todo, velar por un sistema que garantice que la voluntad del pueblo prevalezca,” añadió.

Finalmente, Jiménez solicitó a la presidenta de la CEE, Jessika Padilla Rivera, que convoque a los presidentes de los partidos políticos y a sus comisionados electorales para discutir cómo evitar que estas situaciones se repitan en las elecciones generales. “Por eso, solicito a la presidenta de la CEE, Jessika Padilla Rivera, que a la mayor brevedad convoque a los presidentes de los partidos políticos y a sus comisionados electorales para discutir de primera mano cómo vamos a evitar que situaciones como esta ocurran en las elecciones generales,” puntualizó Jiménez.

Now playing: The press tour (shh, it’s better than the movie)

By ESTHER ZUCKERMAN

In the 1999 rom-com “Notting Hill,” the sheepish bookseller played by Hugh Grant goes to a hotel expecting a date with the megawatt star played by Julia Roberts. He is surprised to find he has arrived at a press junket and looks adorably flustered as he’s shuffled from room to room, pretending to be a reporter from Horse & Hound to interview the stars of her space movie.

The sequence is a handy introduction to this strange custom of film publicity: actors sitting in sterile suites for a parade of brief interviews. But these days that almost seems quaint. The press tour has taken on a life of its own, with stars like Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya making news for the tour itself with quippy sound bites, inscrutable looks and fashion moments.

It can be grueling for celebrities. Lupita Nyong’o recently described junkets as a “torture technique” in an interview with Glamour. But these cycles can be more entertaining than the movies themselves. Grant’s bookseller would be baffled to learn that you can categorize the tours as follows:

The Animosity Tour

The promotion stops for nothing, not even cast members who appear to hate being in one another’s company. This seemed to be the case during the cycle for “Atlas,” Netflix’s new sci-fi flick starring Jennifer Lopez and Sterling K. Brown.

During joint interviews, Brown seemed unable to help himself from making fun of Lopez. In one viral moment, he feigned surprise when she said she was Puerto Rican, before repeating her comfort meal of “rice and beans and like, you know, chicken” in overemphasized Spanish.

In another moment, he jumped in and helped her out when her own Spanish failed her. After supplying the right word, he did a little dance. That clip prompted social-media users to wonder what J. Lo did to Brown. During these interactions Lopez looked perturbed, leaving plenty of room for observers to jump to conclusions.

But their joint appearances cannot hold a candle to the grandmother of animosity tours, the great “Don’t Worry Darling” debacle of 2022. Olivia Wilde directed the retro drama, which featured Florence Pugh, and what went unsaid was almost more tantalizing than what was: After rumors of bad blood between the star and the director, Pugh didn’t show up for the Venice Film Festival news conference but was spotted strolling around Venice in a purple get-up while Wilde fielded tough questions.

Olivia Cooke, left, and Emma D’Arcy attend House of the Dragon, Season 2 premiere and afterparty in New York on June 3, 2024. For Jennifer Lopez, Sterling K. Brown, Dakota Johnson, and others, the standard publicity push isn’t so standard anymore. (Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet/The New York Times)

The Flirty Tour

Some actors consider publicity an annoying obligation; Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney embrace it. One way to sell a movie? Sex. Or at least the illusion thereof. So the two leaned into dating rumors when promoting their recent rom-com, “Anyone but You,” with some hard-core flirting.

“The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry,” he told The New York Times. “That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”

The flirting method works especially well when the film or show has a romantic element. Fans of the Netflix series “Bridgerton” have been going wild for the chemistry between Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton as they promote the newest season. Coughlan has called Newton a “lovely friend,” but the speculation can’t hurt viewership.

Then again, actors can play mortal enemies and still put out exquisitely flirtatious vibes. Case in point: Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy on HBO’s “House of the Dragon.” During one of their interactions, D’Arcy described their favorite drink as a “negroni, sbagliato, with prosecco in it” and Cooke responded, “Oo, stunnin’” — a moment that went so viral in 2022 that now fans are eager for whatever publicity pushes the new season may bring.

The Fashion Tour

One group making the most out of lengthy press tours: stylists. Over the past year in particular,

creative partnerships between stars and their fashion teams have yielded red carpet looks that are not only beautiful, but also on theme, sometimes even aggressively so.

Margot Robbie was especially committed to re-creating the “Barbie” aesthetic off-screen. At every stop, she emerged in a designer look that made references to a classic Barbie outfit. She trotted out an Hervé Léger dress resembling the original doll’s striped bathing suit and a Versace ensemble that echoed the kitschy 1985 Day to Night Barbie. The looks were such a hit that Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal put out a Rizzoli book documenting them.

Still, perhaps no one does the fashion tour better than Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach. This year, they’ve already given us two very different approaches in quick succession for “Dune: Part Two,” when she wore futuristic looks that echoed the vibes of that sci-fi hit, and “Challengers,” when she remixed tennis wear in support of that romantic triangle.

In an interview with Vogue, Roach called their strategy “method dressing.” The crowning achievement was an archival Thierry Mugler robot suit that had mouths agape at the London “Dune” premiere. And the Loewe gown with the silhouette of a tennis player mid-serve for “Challengers” was also pretty excellent.

The Apathy Tour

Sometimes a performer is aware that the movie is a stinker, and yet the press tour is required anyway. That seemed to be the case when Dakota Johnson hit the road for “Madame Web” this year. Did she really hate the movie? Was she just joking around? Or was it somewhere in between?

Whatever Johnson’s true intentions were, audiences were glued to the ways in which she seemed to dispassionately discuss the film, telling Seth Meyers with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, “You don’t have to know anything at all to watch this movie.” She also called the experience of acting against a blue screen with fake explosions “absolutely psychotic.” And it was hard not to read more into her declaration that Hollywood is “bleak” when it comes to her own projects given that she was supposed to be shilling for a studio blockbuster based on a thirdrate Spider-Man villain.

The Repetitive Tour

When Lady Gaga was promoting “A Star Is Born” in 2018, she repeated one line over and over again. At various stops, Gaga would praise her director and co-star, Bradley Cooper, by saying: “There can be a hundred people in the room and 99 don’t believe in you.” When you’re doing so many interviews, it is natural to repeat yourself, but Gaga was so intent on this refrain that it almost became endearing.

The same went for Josh O’Connor’s insistence on bringing up his love for the 2007 Pixar film “Ratatouille” while on the road for “Challengers” and the Italian film “La Chimera.” The film app Letterboxd has a series asking celebrities to name their four favorite movies and the last four they watched, on red carpets and at junkets. O’Connor listed “Ratatouille” in both categories. The movie he may have been primarily promoting was Luca Guadagnino’s sexy tennis drama, but his adoration of the movie about the chef rat was positively wholesome.

PTSD treatments are falling short for many patients

By DANI BLUM

Post-traumatic stress disorder clo-

ses people off. They withdraw — often reluctant to talk about what they’ve experienced and unable to trust others or themselves. But many leading treatments for the condition require just that.

The treatments for PTSD — including several forms of psychotherapy and medication — are effective for many patients, but they don’t work for everyone. They can be expensive. Sometimes, they can be so distressing that patients stop the treatment before it’s complete.

Therapy and medication can help people recover from trauma, but many struggle to access

the

care

they need.

(Owen Gent/The New York Times)

“The field has acknowledged for years that we need to do better for our patients,” Dr. Jerry Rosenbaum, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said recently at a meeting of experts tasked with advising the Food and Drug Administration on whether to approve the first new medication in decades for PTSD. The treatment combines the psychoactive drug MDMA with talk therapy to treat PTSD.

The expert panel voted against endorsing the therapy, which was developed by Lykos Therapeutics, citing concerns about safety and issues in clinical trials. The FDA is not required to follow the guidance of these advisory panels but often does.

But even in rejecting the use of MDMAassisted therapy, the experts emphasized the need for new and better treatments for PTSD, which can cause intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and nightmares, and increases the risk of suicide or death from other causes.

Roughly 6% of the American population will develop PTSD at some point in their lives. Only a fraction of those patients currently recover, Dr. Tiffany R. Farchione, director of the FDA’s Division of Psychiatry Products, said at the meeting Tuesday. And many people with PTSD symptoms struggle to get diagnosed in the first place. How is PTSD diagnosed?

The gold standard for diagnosing PTSD is the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale, known as CAPS-5. Clinicians ask patients about symptoms and their severity, how often they re-experience unwanted memories, what measures they take to avoid reminders of traumatic events, and more.

But many people with the disorder won’t even get assessed for it.

In part, that’s because patients may not

recognize signs of the disorder, particularly if the person experiencing symptoms isn’t a veteran, said Edna Foa, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. The public perception of the disorder is still so tightly tied to the idea of military combat that those who experience a natural disaster or sexual assault may not realize they, too, have undergone a trauma.

Primary care providers, who might be the first to hear about a patient’s sleep issues or mood changes, may not recognize some symptoms as signs of the disorder, said Dr. Shaili Jain, a PTSD specialist at Stanford University.

PTSD is also an avoidance disorder. People with the condition typically avoid reminders of the traumatic event and sometimes don’t want to discuss it or look for treatment.

“One of the problems with PTSD is, you pull inward,” said Dr. John Markowitz, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University.

“You avoid people, because you feel you can’t trust them, and so you might not seek help even if you need it.”

How is PTSD currently treated?

Psychotherapy is the first line of treatment. One common and effective approach, developed by Foa, is called prolonged exposure. Patients describe the traumatic event they experienced in detail, and then work through a list of people, places or situations they have avoided since the event, coaxing them to gradually confront their fears.

Another leading method is cognitive processing therapy, in which mental health providers work to help patients understand how the disorder has altered the way they view themselves and the world.

“If you can help someone balance their thinking, then their emotions and behaviors will

follow,” said Matthew A. Robinson, the program director of McLean’s Trauma Continuum of Care at the Hill Center in Massachusetts.

Other types of treatment include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, which activates both sides of the brain as a patient describes a traumatic event, and interpersonal psychotherapy, a form of talk therapy that focuses on how trauma affects relationships.

These therapies can be very effective for people with PTSD, but studies estimate that between a quarter to half of patients will not respond to cognitive therapy. And many also stop treatment early. On average, nearly 20% of participants in clinical trials for PTSD treatments drop out. Researchers think that number is most likely higher in practice and may be driven in part by patients’ discomfort at revisiting their worst memories in what can feel like excruciating detail.

The cost of therapy, issues with insurance coverage and the shortage of mental health providers can also create barriers to treatment, Jain said.

The FDA has approved two medications to treat PTSD: the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and paroxetine. Clinicians might offer drugs not specifically approved to treat PTSD to help with the disorder, including prazosin, a blood pressure medication that research suggests can alleviate nightmares. While medications can help with symptoms, they don’t address the underlying causes of PTSD.

Between 40% to 60% of people who have received treatment for PTSD still meet the diagnostic criteria for the disorder, Rosenbaum said Tuesday at the FDA meeting.

Over the last decade or so, experimental treatments including MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, virtual reality therapy and neurofeedback, which involves modulating brain activity, have gained traction.

The more effective options to address the disorder, experts said, the better off patients will be.

Apex, the largest stegosaurus fossil ever found, heads to auction

By ASHER ELBEIN

In May 2022, Jason Cooper, a commercial paleontologist, went for a walk around his property near the aptly named Colorado town of Dinosaur with a friend and found a bit of femur protruding from some rock.

That femur led to a stegosaurus fossil, among the largest and most complete ever found, which has subsequently been nicknamed “Apex.” In July the Sotheby’s auction house will sell Apex at auction at an estimated value of $4 million to $6 million, making the skeleton the latest flashpoint in a long-running debate about the private fossil trade.

Dinosaur fossils have fetched escalating prices at auction houses since 1997, when Sotheby’s sold “Sue” the Tyrannosaurus rex to the Field Museum in Chicago for $8.36 million. In 2020, “Stan,” another largely complete T. rex skeleton, sold at Christie’s for $31.8 million.

Such pricing has raised serious concerns among academic paleontologists, said Stuart Sumida, vice president of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Many of them have watched fossils that may unlock scientific mysteries get steered into the hands of wealthy private collectors rather than toward research institutions in recent decades.

Cooper and his colleagues unearthed the Sotheby’s-bound stegosaurus in 2023. Digs on his property have yielded a number of Jurassic period dinosaurs, several of which Cooper has donated to institutions including the Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology in Provo, Utah, and the Frost Museum of Science in Miami.

Cooper described the Apex stegosaurus as a unique and scientifically important specimen. Skeletons — even partial ones — of the plate-backed, spike-tailed herbivore are rare. The skeletal mount contains material from about 70% of the animal’s bones. At 11 feet tall and over 20 feet long, Apex is double the size of “Sophie,” the most intact stegosaurus specimen known, and has unusual proportions, remarkably long legs and square-bottom plates. The specimen was also discovered with skin impres-

sions, possibly from the neck, which will be offered as part of the sale.

Cooper supervised the preparation and mounting of the stegosaurus, 3D-scanning the existing bones and mirroring elements of the specimen to fill in the gaps. The team also collected extensive contextual data, which members think could be attractive to prospective buyers. The information includes a detailed site survey, quarry maps and other documentation.

Cooper also invited several paleontologists to examine the specimen.

“If you combine size, completeness and bone preservation, it is the best stegosaurus I’ve seen,” said Rod Scheetz, curator at the Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology, who inspected it at Cooper’s property.

Cassandra Hatton, the head of Sotheby’s science

and popular culture department, said the auction house worked closely with Cooper to reinforce the scientific legitimacy of this privately sold dinosaur mount, aiming to create a model for future auctions.

“This is the first time a specimen has been auctioned where we’ve been working together from the time it was excavated,” she said. “This is the most transparent sale of a dinosaur to have ever occurred.”

But Jim Kirkland, the state paleontologist of Utah, declined to endorse the stegosaurus when he was invited by Cooper. “It looks pretty interesting,” he wrote in an email, “but I will not promote something going to auction. I would have hooked him up with museums directly but not this.”

While anything can happen at a public auction, Cooper and Hatton both expressed their hopes that Apex will ultimately land at a scientific institution — whether through direct purchase or by donation from a private collector. The team gathered the data and documentation not just to reassure potential purchasers of the specimens’ authenticity but also to help museums smoothly integrate such a specimen into a research collection.

“Whoever purchases this also has the right to come to my property and collect contextual information,” Cooper said. “A private collector might not give a stego spike about that, but for a museum, that’d be really cool.”

However, the stegosaurus’s potential price tag could be out of reach for many institutions, Sumida said. He said that the costs of studying an already mounted and reconstructed specimen can be higher than just the purchase price. Reconstructing and mounting fossils is as much art as science — and specific choices can be used to hoodwink the uninitiated by blurring the lines on what parts of any given bone are real.

“If the specimen is as scientifically important as it’s purported, then they’re going about it entirely the wrong way,” Sumida said.

Cary Woodruff, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Frost Museum of Science in Miami, agreed that public auctions were often “scientific abbatoirs.” But Woodruff — who also examined the specimen before the auction agreement — suggested that compiling detailed records, pictures and digital scans of commercially sold fossils is something other sellers should emulate. That way, “at least a vestige of the scientific data can exist if the specimen does not end up in the public trust,” he said.

Ultimately, however, Woodruff concurred that the public trust is where such fossils belong.

“If a wealthy person were interested in how they could work with a scientific institution to make a contribution to scientific knowledge and advancement,” he said, “then I hope such specimens would attract their attention.”

Chet Walker, NBA champion and movie producer, dies at 84

By HARVEY ARATON

Chet Walker, one of the NBA’s most understated stars of its developmental decades, who was a vital member of the 1966-67 champion Philadelphia 76ers and who later became an Emmy Award-winning movie producer, died Saturday in Long Beach, California. He was 84.

The NBA confirmed the death, saying it came after a long illness.

Walker, who played in seven All-Star Games during a 13-year professional career, was a starting forward on the 76ers’ title team, which won 68 regular-season games and broke the Boston Celtics’ championship stranglehold.

On a team often included in discussions of the NBA’s greatest, Walker was the thirdleading scorer, averaging 19.3 points per game and 8.1 rebounds, while fitting seamlessly with future and fellow Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain, Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.

Walker, a 6-foot-7 forward, was known for pump-faking defenders into a vulnerable position for his patented jump shots and drives along the baseline, where, he calculated, it was difficult to double-team him.

A prideful but publicly modest man, Walker asked Cunningham, one of his presenters at his 2012 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, to speak of his career exploits.

“He was slow — you were slow, Chet — but you just couldn’t stop the man,” Cunningham said. “He just took you to the spot on the court, faked you, went up over you, took it to the hole, or someone was open

and he’d find the open man.”

In 1969, the season after the 76ers broke up their championship team by sending Chamberlain to the Los Angeles Lakers, Walker was traded to the Chicago Bulls under unusual circumstances.

When Pat Williams, the 76ers’ business manager, was offered the Bulls’ general manager’s position, Jack Ramsay, the 76ers’ coach and general manager, told him he would be released from the two years remaining on his contract on one condition: that Williams agree to take Walker with him to Chicago in a multiplayer trade that included Bulls forward Jim Washington’s going to Philadelphia.

“Jack had developed this thing for Washington, thought he’d be a better fit with Billy C. than Chet,” Williams said in an interview for this obituary in 2022. “Of course we wanted to make that trade. Chet was a great player but when you’ve been on the floor with Wilt, Greer and Billy C., you’re going to sacrifice.”

In Chicago, Walker was a focal point of a Bulls unit that featured forward Bob Love and guards Norm Van Lier and Jerry Sloan. He began a six-year run with the Bulls by averaging more than 20 points his first three seasons. In February 1972, he scored a careerhigh 56 points against the Cincinnati Royals — a team record that lasted until Michael Jordan scored 57 points in February 1987.

More significant, Williams said, was Walker’s contribution to establishing Chicago as a viable city for professional basketball. “The sport hadn’t made it in Chicago going back decades and they were again looking to move the team,” he said. “But when Chet got

fering from her husband’s physical abuse, moved with her youngest children to Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Experiencing integration for the first time, Walker starred at Benton Harbor High School and earned a scholarship to Bradley University, where he was a two-time consensus All-American, averaging 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds over three seasons. Nicknamed “Chet the Jet,” he was drafted by the Syracuse Nationals in the second round, made the NBA’s All-Rookie team and moved to Philadelphia with the franchise in 1963. He finished with career averages of 18.2 points and 7.1 rebounds.

Information on Walker’s survivors was not immediately available.

Walker’s mentor in the film industry and connection to Hollywood was producer Zev Braun, a neighbor in Chicago. Braun was executive producer of Walker’s debut 1979 production, “Freedom Road,” a television miniseries about a former slave who rose to the U.S. Senate during Reconstruction. The series, based on a 1944 novel by Howard Fast, starred Muhammad Ali and Kris Kristofferson.

there, everything changed.”

Within two seasons, the Bulls’ regularseason victory total grew to 51 from 33, and the team, known for its rugged style, roughly tripled its average home attendance. But they typically fell short in the playoffs, most conspicuously failing to close out the Golden State Warriors after taking a 3-2 series lead in the 1975 Western Conference final.

Walker scored just 10 points in Game 6, though, and he was hospitalized after the Bulls lost Game 7 in Oakland, California, with the recurrence of a kidney infection that would later cause scarring and require ongoing medication.

In the 2022 interview, Williams said he still regularly heard from Walker, adding: “One thing that eats at him is why the Bulls never retired his number, 25. He’ll say, ‘You and I helped save basketball in Chicago.’ And they did retire Bob Love’s number and Jerry Sloan’s, so why wouldn’t they retire Chet’s?”

Chester Walker was born Feb. 22, 1940, in Bethlehem, Mississippi, the youngest of John and Regenia Walker’s 10 children. His family owned a small cotton farm, on which Walker worked until his mother, after losing a daughter in 1950 to tuberculosis and suf-

Walker’s 1989 television series, “A Mother’s Courage,” co-produced with Richard L. O’Connor, won an Emmy in the outstanding children’s program category. Starring Alfre Woodard, it was based on the life of Mary Thomas, a single mother who fought to protect her nine children on Chicago’s impoverished West Side and whose youngest, Isiah, became one of the NBA’s most prolific point guards.

“It’s a difficult transition from the athletic to the so-called normal world,” Walker told the Los Angeles Times in 1995. “There’s an image that goes along with being an athlete, an image of not being intelligent, of being a dumb jock. Not dependable. It follows you out into the world. You have to prove yourself all over again.” NBA Finals Wednesday Game 3 (Boston leads series 2-0) Boston Celtics at Dallas Mavericks, 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC)

Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

Communication with friends who have traveled widely could have you hankering to make a future visit to a distant place that you’ve always wanted to experience. At the very least, you’ll probably want to take a virtual tour of your city of choice. If you’re dreaming of traveling to a foreign country, you may want to take a stab at learning the language. Actually, this is a good time to study a language - your mind is particularly sharp.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Dreams or visions could put you in touch with deep feelings that you may not have been aware of before, Taurus. This could enable you to release traumas from your past and give you a new sense of lightness. However, your logical mind is very much at work, so you could use this experience to shed light on others’ experiences and help them, too. Whatever happens today is likely to produce noticeable results.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Relationships of all kinds are likely to be strengthened by an increased level of understanding today, Gemini. Your thinking is greatly enhanced by your emotional intuitiveness, so you’ll be more able than usual to identify with the needs and desires of those around you. As a result, acquaintances could become friends, and friendships could progress into bonds that last for life. Romance also benefits from intensified empathy. Enjoy.

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

Today your emotional intuition intensifies your mental abilities, Cancer. Friends and family members are likely to grow closer to you. You may be more aware of what they really need and want, and they could see you in a new light. This can make you feel loved and wanted. The downside is that your empathy is so high that you may pick up on everyone’s aches and pains. Try to keep yourself bathed in the white light.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Relationships with those closest to you, particularly friends and love partners, should be enhanced by an increased understanding of their emotional world, Leo. You’re likely to identify even more strongly than usual with others’ feelings, and this could provide inspiration for artistic activities of some kind. This is also a great day to have deep, philosophical conversations with your friends. Consider the wide range of topics you have to discuss.

Virgo

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

Dealing with the ups and downs of other family members could be easier for you today than usual, Virgo. You’re less inclined to be logical and more apt to identify with what other people feel. This will increase your understanding of their situation’s undercurrents, and they’ll likely appreciate your empathy. Don’t forget your own concerns. You may see a lot of things in a different light today.

Libra (Sep

24-Oct 23)

Today your mind is strongly influenced by feeling and intuition, Libra, so you’ll be able to communicate especially well with others. You might sense what they need to hear before they know it themselves. This ability could be used in many ways. It could enhance your writing skills. If you’re into performance of any kind, it could sharpen your ability to speak, teach, or act. Make the most of it.

Scorpio

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

You generally like to think of yourself as someone who faces life logically and rationally, Scorpio, but today your intuitive side could prove a valuable resource, especially when it comes to dealing with others. Your communicative ability is enhanced by a strong sense of what others are thinking and feeling. This opens the door to more effective communication with everyone - friends, lovers, colleagues, even strangers.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23-Dec 21)

Your intuition is usually very strong, Sagittarius, and your level of empathy enhances your relationships. Today, however, a burst of logic could enable you to see many things in a different light. This adds a new dimension to your communicative abilities and could prove valuable in bringing you closer to the ones you love the most. It can also increase your understanding of yourself.

Capricorn

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

Your intuition is heightened almost to the point of telepathy today. Capricorn, you may be able to sense what others want and need even before they know it themselves. You could also experience a few visionary impressions that prove valuable inspiration for creative and artistic work. When images well up from your psyche, don’t dismiss them as irrelevant. They could make a big difference in your life right now.

Aquarius (Jan

21-Feb 19)

Getting in touch with your closest friends could bring about some intense communication, with many revealing some of your deepest concerns, Aquarius. Your thinking should be greatly influenced by feeling, so you might experience a high level of understanding that your friends are going to appreciate. This could well bring all of you closer together and increase future contact. Enjoy your day!

Pisces

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

A heightened level of intuition and understanding of others might catapult you to the center of attention at a gathering, Pisces. Knowledge combined with experience results in wisdom today. Insights could lead to more efficient ways of doing things. You’ll probably pass this on to others, especially since more than one person could ask you for insights into their particular situation. Don’t forget your sense of humor. Life is serious enough.
