Lucio Gonzalez started showing symptoms similar to those of a cold several days after disembarking from a cruise on the Grand Princess.

Within three weeks, he was connected to a ventilator. And on March 27, 2020, he died.

@hugomartin reports: latimes.com/business/story…
His son, Miguel, has sued Princess Cruise Lines and its parent company, alleging the companies failed to warn passengers that they risked contracting the deadly virus by boarding the ship.

“There is no doubt in my mind that he contracted it on that ship.”

Miguel is far from alone.

The cruise line industry faces a wave of lawsuits from passengers and their families saying they or their loved ones contracted COVID-19 on a ship, resulting in either death or severe illness. latimes.com/business/story…

A California appeals court on Tuesday considered whether a harassment lawsuit against the Church of Scientology should be decided by a jury or an arbitration board of Scientologists.

Thread ⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…
The case was brought by women who said they were stalked and harassed after they complained to police that they had been raped by actor Danny Masterson, a Scientologist who has been criminally charged.

A criminal trial is pending.

Four women and the husband of one of them also sued the church and Masterson, charging they were terrorized, stalked and harassed in an effort to intimidate them after reporting the alleged sexual assaults.

Read the stories from our project on the dangers of extreme heat and how California struggles to respond: latimes.com/extremeheat
Extreme heat is one of the deadliest consequences of global warming.

But California chronically undercounts the death toll and has failed to address the growing threat of heat-related illness and death, according to a @latimes investigation. latimes.com/projects/calif…
Between 2010 and 2019, the hottest decade on record, California’s official data from death certificates attributed 599 deaths to heat exposure.

But a Times analysis found that the true toll is probably six times higher.

Christine Paige, a hairdresser and wigmaker, was confused and a little suspicious when she got a text purporting to be from the White House asking if she would participate in an event with Vice President Kamala Harris.

latimes.com/politics/story… Image
Could this be real?

Paige wasn’t sure. But after talking with a confidant, she decided to call back. Maybe Harris wanted her hair done, Paige thought, just as Cardi B did a few years ago when she came to Providence.

latimes.com/politics/story…
But Harris didn’t need a blow-out. Her office wanted Paige to take one of five seats in a “women-led small business roundtable” Harris was hosting with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, the former Rhode Island governor.

The Supreme Court is preparing to decide whether the 2nd Amendment gives Americans a right to carry a loaded gun when they leave home — and some justices are looking back to the England of 1328 for an answer.

latimes.com/politics/story…
At issue is the meaning of the “right to keep and bear arms” that was added to the Constitution in 1791 and expanded by the high court in 2008.

latimes.com/politics/story… Image
Now the court faces a far more consequential decision in a New York case to be heard this week: Do Americans have a right to be armed when they travel in a car, walk down the street or march in protest rally?
