"title": "Senior Editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk",
"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.",

And yes, it gets really bloody and it gets ugly and I'm sorry about that,” Weissman laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now with the U.S. at a political crossroads, Weissman is at a creative crossroads. He often depicted Hillary Clinton as a thin-skinned bureaucrat capable of erupting with Hulk-like fury. But he voted for her, not for Donald Trump. And he’s struggled to develop a convincing comic portrayal of the president-elect.

It seems a little mean-spirited and ugly,” says Weissman, reflecting on what’s to come under a Trump presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't think the world’s going to end,” laughs Weissman. “I just think it's gonna be kind of a meaner place for the next few years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the start of \"Looking for America’s Dog,\" there’s a single-page black-and-white comic that breaks up the action.

She said none were ever made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was often freezing cold in the building. Water and power were sometimes stolen from neighbors, who would get angry and shut them off. Once a generator blew up and residents quickly doused the flames, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mack said she didn't know the ramshackle dwelling was illegal until after she moved in. She was instructed to tell visitors it was a 24-hour workspace for artists, and when inspectors or other outsiders came to visit, she and other residents scurried to hide clothes, bedding and other evidence anyone was living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"QTqaPzMjZEUPVgKoNAM7M4qPttI3tpeA\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a good example of people taking advantage of people because they had no other options,\" said Mack, a 58-year-old tech sales worker and jewelry maker who lived there for four or five months about two years ago. \"People make businesses off scamming people online when they're looking for a place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland officials say at least 30 people perished when a fire ripped through the cluttered space during a dance party Friday night, and the death toll is expected to rise.

Massive extension cords. Heavy musical equipment,\" Mack said. \"That place was just a death trap. I didn't think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One doorway was blocked, she said, because it led to the property of a neighbor who'd been in a dispute with the operators, whom she and other former tenants and friends identified as 46-year-old Derick Ion and his 40-year-old wife, Micah Allison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They lure you in with all these promises about what they're going to do with your deposit and your rent,\" she said. \"They don't do any of it, they just party with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public records show Ion's full name is Derick Ion Almena and that he has lived in California since at least 1990, mostly in Los Angeles, before moving to Oakland in 2006.

She paid about $700 a month in rent, along with a security deposit of the same amount and a contribution of about $700 to a fund meant to go toward improvements. She said none were ever made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was often freezing cold in the building. Water and power were sometimes stolen from neighbors, who would get angry and shut them off. Once a generator blew up and residents quickly doused the flames, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mack said she didn't know the ramshackle dwelling was illegal until after she moved in. She was instructed to tell visitors it was a 24-hour workspace for artists, and when inspectors or other outsiders came to visit, she and other residents scurried to hide clothes, bedding and other evidence anyone was living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a good example of people taking advantage of people because they had no other options,\" said Mack, a 58-year-old tech sales worker and jewelry maker who lived there for four or five months about two years ago. \"People make businesses off scamming people online when they're looking for a place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was crammed with rugs, old sofas and a garage-sale-like collection of pianos, paintings, turntables, statues and other items that quickly fed the flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All kinds of electrical cords running through there illegally. Massive extension cords. Heavy musical equipment,\" Mack said. \"That place was just a death trap. I didn't think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One doorway was blocked, she said, because it led to the property of a neighbor who'd been in a dispute with the operators, whom she and other former tenants and friends identified as 46-year-old Derick Ion and his 40-year-old wife, Micah Allison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They lure you in with all these promises about what they're going to do with your deposit and your rent,\" she said. \"They don't do any of it, they just party with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public records show Ion's full name is Derick Ion Almena and that he has lived in California since at least 1990, mostly in Los Angeles, before moving to Oakland in 2006.

To worship, his family traveled to a gurdwara over 90 miles away in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag moved here, like other Sikhs, for farming. At 86, he’s still farms on his property in Live Oak, just outside Yuba City. In late October, he oversaw the kiwi harvest. Workers on a small crew plucked the fuzzy fruit from what look like oversized grape vines, tossed them into bags slung around their necks, then dumped them into bins on a tractor idling between rows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his life here, Ghag grew peaches, and right there on the side of the field he started reciting a poem he wrote called “I’m A Peach Farmer” (Mohinder Ghag’s a bit of a poet with a number of books published in Punjabi).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1900s, the impacts of famine and British colonialism forced thousands of Punjabis out of their homeland. Many found their way to the Sacramento Valley, with a familiar climate and location at the nexus of many rivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This area is very close to the Punjab,” Ghag said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202036\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg\" alt=\"At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-160x95.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1020x608.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1180x704.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-960x573.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-240x143.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-375x224.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-520x310.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California. \u003ccite>(Meradith Hoddinott/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Within years, though, Indians and other Asians were barred from owning land, because of so-called Alien Land Laws. By 1917, Congress passed a law barring immigration from many Asian countries, including India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1950s, Mohinder Ghag’s sister married into one of those early-immigrant families, and 10 years later sponsored Ghag to come. He remembers being one of a few men in the area wearing a turban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot, the turban,” he said. I did a double-take when he said this. After Sept. 11, 2001, and more recently after the shootings in San Bernardino, hate crimes against Sikhs ballooned. Some attackers mistook Sikhs for Muslims. Others simply targeted Sikhs for being different. But, Ghag says, his turban has opened doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot because I’m a source of attraction wherever I go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”CJnbtEdlcFYlDZrAt1Jqf7dWeljvb7JV”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I approached Ghag every way I could with questions about isolation and discrimination, but he insisted: “In this community I haven’t felt that someone discriminated [against] me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag dove into civic life here, starting a Punjabi writers group, serving on the hospital board and the Peach Advisory Board, even being a California delegate for the Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re in a society and society’s got an investment in you, if you don’t turn it back the society will go bankrupt,” Ghag said. “So it’s our duty to serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connecting with neighbors is a big reason the Sikh community started the public Guru Gadee celebration 37 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more recognition that we are a community living here,” Ghag said, “and since then it’s bigger and bigger every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s an opportunity for Sikhs to celebrate their own holiday and bring others in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiafoodways.com/\">California Foodways\u003c/a> is supported, in part, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhum.org/\">California Humanities\u003c/a>.

To worship, his family traveled to a gurdwara over 90 miles away in Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag moved here, like other Sikhs, for farming. At 86, he’s still farms on his property in Live Oak, just outside Yuba City. In late October, he oversaw the kiwi harvest. Workers on a small crew plucked the fuzzy fruit from what look like oversized grape vines, tossed them into bags slung around their necks, then dumped them into bins on a tractor idling between rows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his life here, Ghag grew peaches, and right there on the side of the field he started reciting a poem he wrote called “I’m A Peach Farmer” (Mohinder Ghag’s a bit of a poet with a number of books published in Punjabi).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1900s, the impacts of famine and British colonialism forced thousands of Punjabis out of their homeland. Many found their way to the Sacramento Valley, with a familiar climate and location at the nexus of many rivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This area is very close to the Punjab,” Ghag said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202036\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg\" alt=\"At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-160x95.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1020x608.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1180x704.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-960x573.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-240x143.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-375x224.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-520x310.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California. \u003ccite>(Meradith Hoddinott/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Within years, though, Indians and other Asians were barred from owning land, because of so-called Alien Land Laws.

After Sept. 11, 2001, and more recently after the shootings in San Bernardino, hate crimes against Sikhs ballooned. Some attackers mistook Sikhs for Muslims. Others simply targeted Sikhs for being different. But, Ghag says, his turban has opened doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot because I’m a source of attraction wherever I go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I approached Ghag every way I could with questions about isolation and discrimination, but he insisted: “In this community I haven’t felt that someone discriminated [against] me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag dove into civic life here, starting a Punjabi writers group, serving on the hospital board and the Peach Advisory Board, even being a California delegate for the Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re in a society and society’s got an investment in you, if you don’t turn it back the society will go bankrupt,” Ghag said. “So it’s our duty to serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connecting with neighbors is a big reason the Sikh community started the public Guru Gadee celebration 37 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more recognition that we are a community living here,” Ghag said, “and since then it’s bigger and bigger every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s an opportunity for Sikhs to celebrate their own holiday and bring others in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiafoodways.com/\">California Foodways\u003c/a> is supported, in part, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhum.org/\">California Humanities\u003c/a>.

My first choice is the scrappy and intimate \u003ca href=\"http://www.kineticartsproductions.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kinetic Arts Center’s show \u003cem>Inversion\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in West Oakland, which we profiled a few weeks ago. But don’t overlook Cirque du Soleil’s gorgeous, extravagant and funny \u003cem>Luzia. \u003c/em>Just note that the death of stage technician Olivier Rochette on Tuesday night (Nov. 29) has forced the company to suspend performances for a few days. Now for this week’s show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtmGU1Co4E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 7: \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.handsomefamily.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Handsome Family\u003c/a>’s Brett Sparks always sings a little off-key to my ear. But it’s in the same way folk-protest singer\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ochs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Phil Ochs \u003c/a>was off; it doesn’t matter because the songs are so full of heart and humanity. He and his bandmate and wife Rennie (who writes the surreal, sometimes somber lyrics) got a huge boost when \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbo.com/true-detective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HBO’s \u003cem>True Detective\u003c/em>\u003c/a> made their single “Far From Any Road” the theme song for the show’s first season. They live in Albuquerque, and don’t like to tour much, but they’ve got a 10th album with songs, Rennie says, about “things we cannot see,” and it’s terrific.

She’s prolific, profound, and often funny. She’s got a new show, co-written with \u003ca href=\"http://zff.org/announcements/margot-melcon-joins-zff/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Margot Melcon\u003c/a>, called \u003cem>Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley\u003c/em>.

And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1G_5cDlWeM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together.

And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together.
