"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The bill would exclude TPS holders who arrived more recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on Wednesday on Capitol Hill, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D–Redlands) said the successes of the 800,000 Dreamers who have been able to work legally under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are evidence that immigrants who’ve come of age in the U.S. deserve the security of becoming fully American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re our friends, our neighbors. They’re teachers, doctors, nurses, essential workers, business owners, service members in our military and much more,” said Aguilar, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus. “They pay taxes, some of them own homes. And they have contributed $108 billion in our local economy. And yet, these are the same individuals who live in fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is overwhelming public support for establishing a path to citizenship for people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, but despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/dream-act-overview\">bipartisan backing\u003c/a>, several versions of such a bill have failed to become law over the last two decades since the original Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act was introduced in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12026832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12026832\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/GettyImages-2197914000-scaled-e1740613370625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A protester waves the national flags of Mexico during a demonstration for immigrants’ rights outside of Los Angeles City Hall on Feb. 5, 2025. \u003ccite>(Qian Weizhong/VCG via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://news.gallup.com/poll/647123/sharply-americans-curb-immigration.aspx\">July 2024 Gallup poll\u003c/a> found that 55% of Americans wanted to curb immigration overall, a sharp increase from the year before. But the same poll showed that 70% favored allowing immigrants who entered the country illegally a chance to become U.S. citizens if they meet certain requirements over a period of time — and that figure jumped to 81% for those who were brought as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D–Texas), who introduced the current bill, said she anticipated being questioned about why she would do so when President Donald Trump and Republicans have been attacking immigrants as threats to the country and vowing mass deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, why not now?

Maria Elvira Salazar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://immigrationforum.org/article/american-dream-and-promise-act-of-2023-bill-summary/\">In 2023, the same bill had four Republican cosponsors\u003c/a>, but Republican leadership didn’t allow the bill to go to a vote. In 2021, the bill passed the House 228 to 197, with nine Republicans voting for it, including one Californian, Central Valley Rep. David Valadao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao’s office did not respond to a request for comment by press time on whether he currently supports the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://theimmigrationhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Fact-Sheet-Dream-and-Promise-Act.pdf\">current bill\u003c/a> would create a “conditional permanent resident” status for eligible Dreamers who have not been convicted of certain crimes. While they have that, they would need to show they’ve completed at least two years of higher education or military service or have worked for at least three years. From there, they could obtain a green card as lawful permanent residents, which would make them eligible to apply for citizenship after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015403\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/AP24319624163000-scaled-e1738263690738.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The U.S. Capitol, including the House of Representatives, left, are seen on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Washington. \u003ccite>(AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The bill would also cover TPS holders who can show they’ve been continuously in the country for three years and were eligible for or had TPS in 2017 and meet other requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the press conference for the bill outside the Capitol building, Orange County Rep. Lou Correa said he believes his district has more Dreamers than any other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me tell you who they are,” he said. “The local police department has police officers that are Dreamers. Does it make sense to deport them? Absolutely not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As supporters of the bill chanted “Si, se puede,” Garcia told the crowd that Dreamers should not be penalized for being in the country without lawful status because they came as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>Like any other child, they lived where their parents told them to live. Many of them were just 6 years old. Six-year-old children do not violate laws,” she said. “If an adult is pulled over for speeding, we don’t turn around and give the adult a ticket and then give a ticket to the child in the back seat. Doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill is likely to be referred to the immigration subcommittee in the House Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee’s chair is California Rep. Tom McClintock, a Republican who voted against the bill in 2021. His office did not respond by press time as to whether he would allow the bill to go to a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Maria Elvira Salazar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://immigrationforum.org/article/american-dream-and-promise-act-of-2023-bill-summary/\">In 2023, the same bill had four Republican cosponsors\u003c/a>, but Republican leadership didn’t allow the bill to go to a vote. In 2021, the bill passed the House 228 to 197, with nine Republicans voting for it, including one Californian, Central Valley Rep. David Valadao.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao’s office did not respond to a request for comment by press time on whether he currently supports the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://theimmigrationhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Fact-Sheet-Dream-and-Promise-Act.pdf\">current bill\u003c/a> would create a “conditional permanent resident” status for eligible Dreamers who have not been convicted of certain crimes. While they have that, they would need to show they’ve completed at least two years of higher education or military service or have worked for at least three years. From there, they could obtain a green card as lawful permanent residents, which would make them eligible to apply for citizenship after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015403\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/AP24319624163000-scaled-e1738263690738.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The U.S. Capitol, including the House of Representatives, left, are seen on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Washington. \u003ccite>(AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The bill would also cover TPS holders who can show they’ve been continuously in the country for three years and were eligible for or had TPS in 2017 and meet other requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the press conference for the bill outside the Capitol building, Orange County Rep. Lou Correa said he believes his district has more Dreamers than any other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let me tell you who they are,” he said. “The local police department has police officers that are Dreamers. Does it make sense to deport them? Absolutely not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As supporters of the bill chanted “Si, se puede,” Garcia told the crowd that Dreamers should not be penalized for being in the country without lawful status because they came as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>Like any other child, they lived where their parents told them to live. Many of them were just 6 years old. Six-year-old children do not violate laws,” she said. “If an adult is pulled over for speeding, we don’t turn around and give the adult a ticket and then give a ticket to the child in the back seat. Doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill is likely to be referred to the immigration subcommittee in the House Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee’s chair is California Rep. Tom McClintock, a Republican who voted against the bill in 2021. His office did not respond by press time as to whether he would allow the bill to go to a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Now, companies are weaponizing that information to surreptitiously charge some customers more than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice, known as surveillance pricing, has spread in recent years, according to \u003ca href=\"https://consumerwatchdog.org/privacy/new-report-details-how-companies-use-surveillance-to-charge-different-prices-for-the-same-item/\">consumer \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://towardsjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Real-Surveillance-Prices-and-Wages-Report.pdf\">privacy \u003c/a>watchdogs, and it’s become increasingly difficult to escape, no matter how often we clear our cookies or tighten our privacy settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creepy. Enraging. In many cases, legal. But some California lawmakers want to change that. At least four lawmakers have introduced bills during this legislative session to regulate surveillance pricing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You walk into a grocery store, you’re surveilled,” said Kristin Heidelbach, Legislative Director for United Food & Commercial Workers Western States Council, which is backing \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB446\">AB-446\u003c/a>, which “would prohibit a person from setting a price offered to a consumer-based, in whole or in part, upon personally identifiable information, as defined, gathered through an electronic surveillance technology, as defined, including electronic shelving labels.” Heidelbach’s organization, according to its website, represents more than 200,000 food, pharmacists and cannabis workers across California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a consumer issue, but our grocery workers and our pharmacists are also consumers, and they feel that pinch as well, and so we look at it as a righteous fight to try to make it more affordable for people to live,” Heidelbach said. “Folks who are hit the hardest in bad economic times, people who are living paycheck to paycheck, are the ones who are squeezed the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surveillance pricing can show up in different ways, both online and in real life. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-lawsuits-california-target-corp-35db1e4f1ea1d43ef7a1f7f2b4630c41\">Target settled a California lawsuit\u003c/a> in 2022 for raising prices for customers who appeared to be close to making a purchase because they were in or near a store. The growing use of digital price tags by retailers like Target and \u003ca href=\"https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/06/06/new-tech-better-outcomes-digital-shelf-labels-are-a-win-for-customers-and-associates\">Walmart\u003c/a> allows them to automate price updates, in some cases based on information about individual customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, let’s say a consumer is lingering in the dairy section on a shopping trip. The retailer may have information that hints at their level of commitment to the purchase. Maybe they’re a parent with small children. Maybe the dinner hour is approaching, and the store’s about to close. All these data points paint a picture of someone who is vulnerable to price gouging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11947039 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/04/RS40986_iStock-1170728885-qut-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have all the tools they need to track you from the time you walk inside the grocery store,” explained Heidelbach. “Then [retailers] take those data points, and they will adjust the price…while you’re standing in a store. They can track on your phone how many times you’ve looked up something. You go to pick up a gallon of milk, and it’s one price, and then by the time you get up to the front, [the price] has already fluctuated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal anti-discrimination laws prohibit predatory pricing in particularly sensitive applications like employment, housing, and credit, but it still happens. Attorneys general nationwide have filed multiple lawsuits against corporate landlords for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11995878/ai-raising-the-rent-san-francisco-could-be-the-first-city-to-ban-the-practice\">alleged collusion inflating rents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already has some protections in place in the form of The California Consumer Privacy Act, which limits the amount of information that businesses can collect and use to make decisions about consumers. “But, more can be done,” Maureen Mahoney, Deputy Director of Policy & Legislation for the California Privacy Protection Agency, wrote in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consumers shouldn’t have to worry that where they live or how they browse a store will be used to determine how much they pay for important purchases,” wrote Mahoney in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11947039/delete-act-seeks-to-give-californians-more-power-to-block-data-tracking\">established history\u003c/a> of leading in the consumer privacy space, California lawmakers are joining those in other states like Colorado, Georgia, and Illinois to pick up where federal regulators are expected to leave off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January of this year, the Federal Trade Commission announced the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/01/ftc-surveillance-pricing-study-indicates-wide-range-personal-data-used-set-individualized-consumer\"> results of its survey\u003c/a> of companies that publicly touted their use of AI and machine learning to engage in data-driven targeting, but after President Donald Trump took office, incoming chair Andrew Ferguson \u003ca href=\"https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/402809/new-ftc-chair-cancels-request-for-comments-on-sur.html\">canceled\u003c/a> the agency’s request for public comments to continue the inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s too early in California’s legislative session — Friday was the filing deadline for new bills in Sacramento — to determine which prospective measures will succeed in making it to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. It’s common practice for lawmakers to change a measure’s language substantially as it moves through committees with the help of other lawmakers, lobbyists, as well as privacy and consumer advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Aisha Wahab (D–Hayward) has introduced a couple of bills [\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB384&firstNav=tracking\">SB-384\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB259&firstNav=tracking\">SB-259\u003c/a>] that would restrict companies from using algorithms for dynamic pricing. She said she expects pushback from a variety of industries, and not just in Silicon Valley, as dynamic pricing has become a big money maker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I have always seen my job as a policymaker is to put safeguards there to protect the average person,” Wahab said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That decline was more than triple the one seen the week before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the decrease in testing positivity rates could be a sign that the season has passed its peak, some health experts are warning that numbers could go up again and urge \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027283/forgot-your-flu-vaccine-with-historic-infections-its-not-too-late-for-a-shot\">those who haven’t been vaccinated yet\u003c/a> to do so as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar drop was reported in early January but only lasted a couple of weeks before rates climbed up again, said Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, noting that flu season typically peaks around the middle of February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s possible we could get lulled into the same mistake that we made in the middle of January … but I think this drop coincides more with what we typically see with influenza,” Swartzberg said. “I’m cautiously optimistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12009848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12009848\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-2168147137-scaled-e1740515847601.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1359\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man receives both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine at a CVS in August 2024. \u003ccite>(Christina House / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there have been at least 33 million confirmed cases of influenza, 430,000 hospitalizations and 19,000 deaths across the country \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027212/missing-cdc-data-concerns-doctors-as-influenza-and-bird-flu-outbreaks-escalate\">during this flu season\u003c/a> alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, influenza activity remains high even as numbers begin to go down, and at least 15 children have died from flu-related complications — raising concerns about declining pediatric vaccination rates. Swartzberg said it’s worrying to see so many pediatric deaths because children tend to be resilient when it comes to fighting illnesses outside of infancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two influenza strains circulating most rapidly this flu season are H1N1 and H3N2, both of which are influenza-type A strains.

As the rate of those infections begins to go down, however, Swartzberg said there is another type of influenza circulating — influenza type B — and those numbers usually go up around March, which could result in another peak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
