Jesus Navarro, a 35-year-old father, husband and metalworker in Oakland Ca. with health insurance, needs a new kidney. He waited six years to get to the head of the transplant list. His wife will donate her kidney. But doctors won't do it because he's undocumented. Is there something grotesquely wrong with this picture? Over 130,000 people think so; petition here.

Nathan Kleinman, a 29-year-old member of Occupy Philadelphia and veteran of political campaigns who lists his occupation as human rights activist, is running for Congress in Pennsylvania.

Assuming anyone poor enough to need help is too dumb to know what to eat or not eat, Florida Republicans want to bar food stamp recipients from buying anything remotely unhealthy - from chips to a kid's birthday cake.
