Protesters rally in Point Loma over proposed housing project
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Concerned citizens gathered on the corner of Talbot and Rosecrans streets in Point Loma Saturday morning to voice their opposition to a proposed housing development project they argue will negatively impact the community. The protest, organized by local residents, is in response to plans that they say prioritize development over the well-being of current residents and the environment. The site in question stands in the same area where the protest took place. Located at 1004 Rosecrans St., the location is currently a rental car agency focused on luxury vehicles. However, city records show developer Northstar Homes LP has applied for a building permit to construct a mixed-use residential building on the site. RELATED: Point Loma residents concerned about proposed apartment building The proposed structure would be in the coastal overlay zone which is required to adhere to a city law that restricts the height of any building to 30 feet. The apartment building, however, is expected to be four stories tall. The protesters contend that city leaders have waived critical environmental protections, including concerns from the Coastal Commission and fire
Domoic acid poisonings: Toxic algae takes a toll on San Diego’s sea lions
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — It’s a dangerous rescue mission for the SeaWorld San Diego animal rescue team as toxic algae poisonings of the Southern California pinniped population has come on fast. “We always approach with caution and we try to explain that to beachgoers because they can get this burst of energy — kind of a fight or flight response,” said Jenny Smith, the head of SeaWorld Rescue. RELATED: Toxic algae bloom causes surge in sick sea lions along San Diego coast There have been nine pelicans sickened and one cormorant, but the sea lions have taken the hardest hit from domoic acid poisonings, with 29 rescued in just the last few months. Smith has been leading a team around the clock to save as many sea lions as possible. “We are the ambulance drivers, we are the rescuers, we are also the ones that give the animals the treatment they need,” said Smith. These sea lions are extremely sick as their food sources have been infected with toxins that build up in their brains, eventually killing them. It’s hard to see the suffering
San Diego auto dealers brace for impact of new 25% import tariffs
ESCONDIDO, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — As the deadline for new 25% auto import tariffs draws near, dealers in San Diego County are bracing for a potential shake-up in the industry. The impending changes are fueling concerns about the impact on sales and consumer interest. On April 3, next Thursday, is when those new tariffs will take effect and the White House is also planning more on auto parts in the weeks to follow, putting pressure on everyone from manufacturers to consumers. “The overall consensus is that it is probably going to raise prices but we don’t know how much and when,” said Dan Myers, general manager of Toyota of Escondido. 6 things to do in San Diego this weekend The recent tariff talk coming out our nation’s capital is keeping industry insiders, like Myers, on edge.

Myanmar quake death toll rises to 1,644 as resistance movement announces partial ceasefire
BANGKOK (AP) — A unilateral partial ceasefire to facilitate earthquake relief efforts was announced on Saturday by Myanmar’s shadow National Unity Government, which coordinates the popular struggle against the ruling military. The country’s death toll from the disaster soared to 1,644. The figure was a sharp rise compared to the 1,002 announced just hours earlier, highlighting the difficulty of confirming casualties over a widespread region and the likelihood that the numbers will continue to grow from Friday’s 7.7 magnitude quake. The number of injured increased to 3,408, while the missing figure rose to 139. The number of dead also rises in Thailand In neighboring Thailand, the death toll rose to 17. The quake rocked the greater Bangkok area, home to around 17 million people, and other parts of the country. Many places in the north reported damage, but the only casualties were reported in Bangkok. Of the death toll, 10 were killed in the high rise building near famous Chatuchak market that collapsed, while the rest were killed in seven other sites. Authorities in Bangkok said 83 people were unaccounted for. On Saturday, more heavy
Why the Sharks will likely not recall Gushchin or Bordeleau this season
SAN JOSE – Winger Danil Gushchin is having another standout season for the San Jose Barracuda as he carried a nine-game point streak into the team’s game against the Abbotsford Canucks on Saturday. But unless the San Jose Sharks experience a rash of injuries to their forward group in the next two-plus weeks, Gushchin, or any other Barracuda forward, will likely not return to the NHL this season. The Sharks have used up all four post-trade-deadline non-emergency recalls and had 15 forwards on their roster going into their game with the New York Rangers on Saturday. So, unless four or more Sharks forwards are injured, Gushchin and others, like Thomas Bordeleau and Ethan Cardwell, will remain in the AHL the rest of this season. Gushchin, a third-round pick by the Sharks in 2020, had an assist in the Barracuda’s 5-1 loss to the Canucks on Friday at Tech CU Arena. Over the last nine games, he has seven goals and nine assists, as he entered Saturday as the Barracuda’s third-leading scorer with 44 points in 47 games. Gushchin was named the AHL’s player of the

SF Giants’ Encarnacion undergoes surgery, estimated to return in eight weeks
CINCINNATI — Jerar Encarnacion’s season debut will be a little later than initially hoped. The Giants announced prior to Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds that Encarnacion underwent surgery on Friday in Los Angeles to repair his left hand fracture. Encarnacion will be in a split for two weeks, then begin his rehab. Encarnacion is expected to be sidelined eight weeks, longer than the slugger’s initial estimate of four-to-five weeks. “I think we were always looking at (the recovery being longer), to tell you the truth,” said manager Bob Melvin. The team also announced that catcher Tom Murphy (mid-back disk herniation) is continuing his physical therapy but has yet to resume baseball activities. Encarnacion, 27, was slated to share time with Wilmer Flores at designated following a spring where he hit two homers, totaled 14 RBIs and posted an .856 OPS. He was roughly a league-average hitter during his brief time with the Giants last season, posting a .248 batting average with five homers and a .702 OPS, but his underlying metrics indicated a big year could be in store.

Tesla protests across Bay Area ignite Trump resistance, but intra-party strife ahead
The day after President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the first time in 2017, Cate Schroeder donned a rebellious pink “pussy hat” and took to the streets, joining a momentous Women’s March in downtown San Jose. On the eve of his second inauguration two months ago, she posted a message with her Facebook group to remember “self care,” and suggested her friends volunteer at local creek cleanups or the library instead. That was January. This is March. And on Saturday, scattered protests across the Bay Area that have been building for weeks appeared bigger and more organized than ever. Planned at as many as 276 Tesla dealerships from Walnut Creek, Palo Alto and Santa Clara and around the globe, the “Tesla Takedown” protests targeted Tesla founder and billionaire Elon Musk, Trump’s chainsaw-wielding deputy who has been gutting federal agencies and firing employees.

Protesters rebelling against Elon Musk’s purge of US government swarm Tesla showrooms
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Crowds protesting billionaire Elon Musk’s purge of the U.S. government under President Donald Trump began amassing outside Tesla dealerships throughout the U.S. Saturday in the latest attempt to dent the fortune of the world’s richest man. The protesters are trying to escalate a movement targeting Tesla dealerships and vehicles in opposition to Musk’s role as the head of the newly created Department of of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, where he’s gained access to sensitive data and shuttered entire agencies as he attempts to slash government spending. Most of Musk’s estimated $340 billion fortune consists of the stock he holds in the electric vehicle company that he continues to run while also working alongside Trump. Earlier protests have been somewhat sporadic. Saturday marked the first attempt to surround all 277 of the automaker’s showrooms and service centers in the U.S. in hopes of deepening a recent decline in the company’s sales. By early afternoon, crowds ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of protesters had flocked to Tesla locations in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Minnesota and

Top FDA official resigns, criticizes RFK Jr. ‘misinformation’
By Cheyenne Haslett, Will McDuffie and Youri Benadjaoud Saturday, March 29, 2025 6:50PM Dr. Peter Marks, who has served as the FDA’s vaccine chief since 2016, resigned in a letter sent to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner. Dr. Peter Marks, the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official who played a crucial role in the development of COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic, has resigned, with one source telling ABC News that he was pushed out of his position by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Marks, who has served as the FDA’s vaccine chief since 2016, resigned in a letter sent to acting FDA Commissioner Sara Brenner. In it, he alleged Kennedy is not interested in “truth and transparency” but rather in “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” Marks called the measles outbreak a reminder of “what happens when confidence in well-established science underlying public health and well-being is undermined.” The measles vaccine “very simply does not cause autism,” Marks wrote. “My hope is that during the coming years, the unprecedented assault on scientific truth that has adversely impacted public health
Myanmar, Thailand earthquake death toll jumps to over 1,600 as bodies recovered from the rubble
BANGKOK — Myanmar’s shadow National Unity Government, which coordinates the popular struggle against the ruling military, announced Saturday a unilateral partial ceasefire Saturday night to facilitate earthquake relief efforts. An announcement said its armed wing, the People’s Defense Force, will implement a two-week pause in offensive military operations starting Sunday in earthquake-affected areas. It said it would “collaborate with the U.N. and non-governmental organizations to ensure security, transportation, and the establishment of temporary rescue and medical camps,” in the areas it controls. “We call on all ethnic groups and citizens to actively cooperate with the NUG and revolutionary forces in providing comprehensive emergency rescue and relief assistance to the earthquake victims,” the statement said. The plan poses a sharp political challenge to the military, which has heavily restricted much needed aid efforts to the more than 3 million people displaced by war even before the earthquake. Sympathizers of the resistance have urged that relief efforts incorporate aid freely transported to areas under the control of the National Unity Government. There was no immediate comment by the military on the announcement, which was released shortly before

Embracing both the masculine and feminine sides of myself,” Perales said. According to USA Facts, nearly 1% of the nation’s adult population identifies as transgender. But some believe that number would be higher if more people felt safe and comfortable
