More than 100 activists held a Die-In protest in East Oakland as nearly 2 million California residents are scheduled to lose Medi-Cal coverage on June 1. About 3 million households may also lose CalFresh food assistance. The cuts are tied to a bill previously known as President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which would reduce Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion over the next ten years. Nearly 12 million Americans could lose medical insurance as a result. Other reported events include two East Bay middle school students airlifted to UC Davis Burn Center after a chemical spill from a lab experiment, a murder charge filed in a 2024 Mission shooting, and injuries and a death after an explosion on a barge in a New York City shipyard.
