"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.",

Existing law allows property owners to annually increase rent by 5% plus the cost of living, or up to 10%. As inflation has increased in the years since the law was passed, the amount landlords can raise rents has \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/all-cpi-figures-for-2024-ab-1482-rent-increases-now-available/\">crept closer to that 10%\u003c/a> threshold.

Powerful realtor and builder groups loudly opposed it, saying it would undermine the state’s efforts to build more housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late April, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12038224/california-bill-expand-rent-control-pulled-for-year-bay-area-lawmaker\">Kalra transformed it\u003c/a> into a two-year bill, vowing to resurface the bill this year after buying more time to work on it with lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants rights advocates were feeling hopeful about its chances this time around, especially after Gov. Gavin Newsom called out the 2019 law in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12069094/in-final-state-of-state-speech-gov-newsom-says-california-offers-model-for-the-nation\">State of the State\u003c/a> address, saying it was “the strongest statewide renter protections in America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Kalra wanted to win over skeptical colleagues. Early in Tuesday’s hearing, he announced he would remove a controversial provision extending tenant protections to those renting single-family homes, individually owned condos and duplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all on the table,” Kalra said, “if folks are willing to come to the table to have those conversations meaningfully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12069626\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12069626\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/IMG_9984.JPG_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/IMG_9984.JPG_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/IMG_9984.JPG_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/IMG_9984.JPG_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Giselle Penuela, 10, and Alexander Penuela, 6 attend at a vigil outside Redwood City’s city council chamber calling for rent control and other renter protections. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the concessions made, reactions to the bill were mixed. Some committee members spoke in favor, while others raised concerns about its impact on the already expensive rental market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m concerned about the big arm of government telling private property owners what they have to do,” said Asm. Diane Dixon, R-Newport Beach. “Because at some point they say, ‘The heck with it, we’ll go to Arizona and build apartment units and housing units there for a lot less money.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Committee members also took issue with the bill’s lowered rent cap. Existing law allows property owners to annually increase rent by 5% plus the cost of living, or up to 10%. As inflation has increased in the years since the law was passed, the amount landlords can raise rents has \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/all-cpi-figures-for-2024-ab-1482-rent-increases-now-available/\">crept closer to that 10%\u003c/a> threshold. AB 1157 would have cut that in half, limiting landlords to a 5% annual increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emailed statement ahead of the hearing, Adam Pearce, president of the California Rental Housing Association, said the bill could push “mom-and-pop owners out of the market, ultimately shrinking housing supply and hurting the very renters it intends to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12069650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12069650\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/250325-ApartmentsonWestside-04-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/250325-ApartmentsonWestside-04-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/250325-ApartmentsonWestside-04-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/250325-ApartmentsonWestside-04-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of the Sunset District from the Sunset Reservoir in San Francisco on March 25, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12008424/prop-33-rent-control-is-on-the-ballot-again-election-2024-california\">Research on this topic is mixed\u003c/a>.

He was 68.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His first ex-wife, Shelly Miles, announced the death Tuesday on a livestream posted on Adams’ social media accounts. “He’s not with us right anymore,” she said. Adams revealed in 2025 that he \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/dilbert-scott-adams-biden-prostate-cancer-8f3edf0a108f55344138ceb4b27e02b9\">had prostate cancer\u003c/a> that had spread to his bones.

The Sun Chronicle in Attleboro, Massachusetts, decided to keep the “Dilbert” space blank for a while “as a reminder of the racism that pervades our society.” A planned book was scrapped.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=pop_113061 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/ScottAdams1-1020x638.jpg']“He’s not being canceled.

He also hosted a podcast, “Real Coffee,” where talked about various political and social issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show on ABC was suspended in September in the wake of the host’s comments on the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Adams stood for free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I like some revenge?” Adams said. “Yes. Yes, I would enjoy that. But that doesn’t mean I get it. That doesn’t mean I should pursue it. Doesn’t mean the world’s a better place if it happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How ‘Dilbert’ got its start\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Adams, who earned a bachelor’s degree from Hartwick College and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, was working a corporate job at the Pacific Bell telephone company in the 1980s, sharing his cartoons to amuse co-workers. He drew Dilbert as a computer programmer and engineer for a high-tech company and mailed a batch to cartoon syndicators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The take on office life was new and on target and insightful,” Sarah Gillespie, who helped discover “Dilbert” in the 1980s at United Media, told The Washington Post. “I looked first for humor and only secondarily for art, which with ‘Dilbert’ was a good thing, as the art is universally acknowledged to be… not great.”[aside postID=news_12069424 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/250908-VAILLANCOURTFOUNTAINREMOVAL-10-BL-KQED.jpg']The first “Dilbert” comic strip officially appeared April 16, 1989, long before such workplace comedies as “Office Space” and “The Office.” It portrayed corporate culture \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/severance-finale-season-2-ben-stiller-adam-scott-51f1c1e8665ef8915d9b3bb5c7370bd8\">as a “Severance”-like,\u003c/a> Kafkaesque world of heavy bureaucracy and pointless benchmarks, where employee effort and skill were underappreciated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strip would introduce the “Dilbert Principle”: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage — management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Throughout history, there have always been times when it’s very clear that the managers have all the power and the workers have none,” Adams told Time. “Through ‘Dilbert,’ I would think the balance of power has slightly changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other strip characters included Dilbert’s pointy-haired boss; Asok, a young, naive intern; Wally, a middle-aged slacker; and Alice, a worker so frustrated that she was prone to frequent outbursts of rage. Then there was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/travel-museums-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-lifestyle-22fc64a793f93191dd09f5c0531e607e\">Dilbert’s pet, Dogbert,\u003c/a> a megalomaniac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a certain amount of anger you need to draw ‘Dilbert’ comics,” Adams told the Contra Costa Times in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, Adams became the first syndicated cartoonist to include his email address in his strip. That triggered a dialogue between the artist and his fans, giving Adams a fountain of ideas for the strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dilbert” was also known for generating aphorisms, like “All rumors are true — especially if your boss denies them” and “OK, let’s get this preliminary pre-meeting going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can come to peace with the fact that you’re surrounded by idiots, you’ll realize that resistance is futile, your tension will dissipate, and you can sit back and have a good laugh at the expense of others,” Adams wrote in his 1996 book “The Dilbert Principle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one real-life case, an Iowa worker was fired from the Catfish Bend Casino in 2007 for posting a “Dilbert” comic strip on the office bulletin board. In the strip, Adams wrote: “Why does it seem as if most of the decisions in my workplace are made by drunken lemurs?” A judge later sided with the worker; Adams helped find him a new job.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A gradual darkening\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Adams’ career \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-business-d1d88fe02461930d9c2ad70e1f55b136\">fall seemed swift, careful readers of “Dilbert”\u003c/a> saw a gradual darkening of the strip’s tone and its creator’s descent into misogyny, anti-immigration and racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He attracted attention for controversial comments, including saying in 2011 that women are treated differently by society for the same reason as children and the mentally disabled — “it’s just easier this way for everyone.” In a blog post from 2006, he questioned the death toll of the Holocaust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2020, Adams tweeted that when the “Dilbert” TV show ended in 2000 after just two seasons, it was “the third job I lost for being white.” But, at the time, he blamed it on lower viewership and time slot changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams’ beliefs began bleeding into his strips. In one in 2022, a boss says that traditional performance reviews would be replaced by a “wokeness” score. When an employee complains that could be subjective, the boss said, “That’ll cost you two points off your wokeness score, bigot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams put a brave face on his fall from grace, tweeting in 2023: “Only the dying leftist Fake News industry canceled me (for out-of-context news of course).

Then there was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/travel-museums-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-lifestyle-22fc64a793f93191dd09f5c0531e607e\">Dilbert’s pet, Dogbert,\u003c/a> a megalomaniac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a certain amount of anger you need to draw ‘Dilbert’ comics,” Adams told the Contra Costa Times in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, Adams became the first syndicated cartoonist to include his email address in his strip. That triggered a dialogue between the artist and his fans, giving Adams a fountain of ideas for the strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dilbert” was also known for generating aphorisms, like “All rumors are true — especially if your boss denies them” and “OK, let’s get this preliminary pre-meeting going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can come to peace with the fact that you’re surrounded by idiots, you’ll realize that resistance is futile, your tension will dissipate, and you can sit back and have a good laugh at the expense of others,” Adams wrote in his 1996 book “The Dilbert Principle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one real-life case, an Iowa worker was fired from the Catfish Bend Casino in 2007 for posting a “Dilbert” comic strip on the office bulletin board. In the strip, Adams wrote: “Why does it seem as if most of the decisions in my workplace are made by drunken lemurs?” A judge later sided with the worker; Adams helped find him a new job.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A gradual darkening\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Adams’ career \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-business-d1d88fe02461930d9c2ad70e1f55b136\">fall seemed swift, careful readers of “Dilbert”\u003c/a> saw a gradual darkening of the strip’s tone and its creator’s descent into misogyny, anti-immigration and racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He attracted attention for controversial comments, including saying in 2011 that women are treated differently by society for the same reason as children and the mentally disabled — “it’s just easier this way for everyone.” In a blog post from 2006, he questioned the death toll of the Holocaust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2020, Adams tweeted that when the “Dilbert” TV show ended in 2000 after just two seasons, it was “the third job I lost for being white.” But, at the time, he blamed it on lower viewership and time slot changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams’ beliefs began bleeding into his strips. In one in 2022, a boss says that traditional performance reviews would be replaced by a “wokeness” score. When an employee complains that could be subjective, the boss said, “That’ll cost you two points off your wokeness score, bigot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams put a brave face on his fall from grace, tweeting in 2023: “Only the dying leftist Fake News industry canceled me (for out-of-context news of course). Social media and banking unaffected. Personal life improved. Never been more popular in my life. Zero pushback in person. Black and White conservatives solidly supporting me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, President Donald Trump remembered Adams as a “Great Influencer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so.

It’s not obvious what will happen,” Díaz-Cayeros said. “But it’s more that the U.S. displayed this force and was able to say, ‘I can make things go one way or another if I so wish.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I heard the news about Maduro’s capture on KQED when I was driving to the gym. My first thought was: Have the Venezuelan people not suffered enough?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I thought about bananas — specifically those imported by the United Fruit Company, the storied American corporation that, over the course of several decades and across multiple countries, extracted resources, oppressed workers and helped remove democratically elected leaders from office. As many scholars have documented, the result has been a pattern in which U.S. interests in Latin America have prioritized profits over people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Díaz-Cayeros said it may seem like a stretch to compare current to those of a century ago, but it’s not. President Donald Trump invoked the Monroe Doctrine, an early 19th-century foreign policy, to justify U.S. actions in Venezuela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“U.S. exploits in the Western Hemisphere have routinely caused devastating economic displacement, and that has, in turn, led to the northward migration of mostly poor, often Indigenous or mestizo (racially mixed) people from Latin America.,” wrote Laura E. Gomez, a legal scholar and author of \u003cem>Inventing Latinos: A New Story of American Racism\u003c/em>, in a LinkedIn post. “In other words, we are here because the U.S. was there.”[aside postID=forum_2010101912502 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/NicolasMaduroAP.jpg']For a deeper history of the United Fruit and similar interventions, check out Gomez’s book, as well as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://bookshop.org/p/books/harvest-of-empire-a-history-of-latinos-in-america-second-revised-and-updated-edition-juan-gonzalez/6159d8f69124dfb2?ean=9780143137436&next=t\">Harvest of Empire\u003c/a>\u003c/em> by Juan Gonzalez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez lays bare a dynamic U.S. officials often avoid acknowledging: When the United States asserts dominance in Latin America, the consequences reverberate at home. Yet instead of reckoning with that reality, we have built an immigration enforcement apparatus that dehumanizes migrants and routinely violates basic rights — including those of people who defend them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is notably different now is that in the past, U.S. companies and investors often led the push into Latin America and then lobbied Washington to intervene. Under the Trump administration, those roles appear reversed. The administration is using military force to secure American interests, said Miguel Tinker Salas, professor emeritus of Latin American History at Pomona College and author of \u003cem>Venezuela: What Everyone Needs to Know and The Enduring Legacy: Oil, Culture and Society in Venezuela\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take years, even a decade. The United States now produces more oil than it consumes and is a net exporter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about power, this is about regime change, this is about access to oil, this about reestablishing U.S. hegemony in the Caribbean and Central America,” Tinker Salas told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12069390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12069390\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/GettyImages-2254673550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/GettyImages-2254673550.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/GettyImages-2254673550-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Government supporters wave a Venezuelan flag during a demonstration on Jan. 8 in Caracas, Venezuela, five days after the United States had launched a large-scale military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. \u003ccite>((Carlos Becerra/Getty Images))\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It can be easy to dismiss what is happening in Latin America as something happening in a distant place with little personal relevance, especially for Americans without family ties there. But the connections are real — and consequential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is not whether the U.S. will see an influx of Venezuelan migrants. Roughly one in four Venezuelans — about 8 million people — have left the country over the past decade, most settling in other Latin American countries, primarily Colombia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 770,000 Venezuelan immigrants lived in the United States in 2023, making up less than 2% of the nation’s 47.8 million immigrants, \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/venezuelan-immigrants-united-states\">according to the Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a>. An estimated 3% of Venezuelan immigrants lived in California. Trump had called for \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/venezuelan-immigrants-tps-maduro-deportations\">deporting 600,000 Venezuelans\u003c/a> who lived in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger question is whether U.S. involvement will help create conditions that allow Venezuelans to return home to stability, prosperity and economic growth — or whether the country’s vast wealth will primarily benefit American corporations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venezuela’s economy has been so severely damaged that even modest foreign investment could generate growth, making it attractive to investors, Díaz-Cayeros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just about the oil. It’s about all the business opportunities that open up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the Stanford panel, Hector Fuentes, a visiting scholar at Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, said that Venezuela is not profiting off its oil reserves, raising the question of what the country stands to lose if the United States takes its oil, as Trump has promised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the Trump administration has framed its actions as benefiting the U.S., with little emphasis on ensuring Venezuela becomes a stable, prosperous democracy. The outcome appears more like a hoped-for byproduct than a central goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are celebrating because there’s a sense of relief. They think the page has been turned, but the page has not been turned,” Tinker Salas said. “I’m Venezuelan-American. I don’t see huge numbers of Venezuelans returning to Venezuela in the short run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many hope Maduro’s exit marks a turning point that bucks history. It’s possible, but we won’t know for years or decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, I suggest reading up on U.S. political and economic interventions in Latin America. It’s a history that has shaped many of our lives and one that all Americans should understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

My first thought was: Have the Venezuelan people not suffered enough?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I thought about bananas — specifically those imported by the United Fruit Company, the storied American corporation that, over the course of several decades and across multiple countries, extracted resources, oppressed workers and helped remove democratically elected leaders from office.

Yet instead of reckoning with that reality, we have built an immigration enforcement apparatus that dehumanizes migrants and routinely violates basic rights — including those of people who defend them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is notably different now is that in the past, U.S. companies and investors often led the push into Latin America and then lobbied Washington to intervene. Under the Trump administration, those roles appear reversed. The administration is using military force to secure American interests, said Miguel Tinker Salas, professor emeritus of Latin American History at Pomona College and author of \u003cem>Venezuela: What Everyone Needs to Know and The Enduring Legacy: Oil, Culture and Society in Venezuela\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take years, even a decade.

But the connections are real — and consequential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is not whether the U.S. will see an influx of Venezuelan migrants. Roughly one in four Venezuelans — about 8 million people — have left the country over the past decade, most settling in other Latin American countries, primarily Colombia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 770,000 Venezuelan immigrants lived in the United States in 2023, making up less than 2% of the nation’s 47.8 million immigrants, \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/venezuelan-immigrants-united-states\">according to the Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a>. An estimated 3% of Venezuelan immigrants lived in California. Trump had called for \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/venezuelan-immigrants-tps-maduro-deportations\">deporting 600,000 Venezuelans\u003c/a> who lived in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger question is whether U.S. involvement will help create conditions that allow Venezuelans to return home to stability, prosperity and economic growth — or whether the country’s vast wealth will primarily benefit American corporations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venezuela’s economy has been so severely damaged that even modest foreign investment could generate growth, making it attractive to investors, Díaz-Cayeros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just about the oil. It’s about all the business opportunities that open up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the Stanford panel, Hector Fuentes, a visiting scholar at Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, said that Venezuela is not profiting off its oil reserves, raising the question of what the country stands to lose if the United States takes its oil, as Trump has promised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the Trump administration has framed its actions as benefiting the U.S., with little emphasis on ensuring Venezuela becomes a stable, prosperous democracy. The outcome appears more like a hoped-for byproduct than a central goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are celebrating because there’s a sense of relief. They think the page has been turned, but the page has not been turned,” Tinker Salas said. “I’m Venezuelan-American. I don’t see huge numbers of Venezuelans returning to Venezuela in the short run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many hope Maduro’s exit marks a turning point that bucks history. It’s possible, but we won’t know for years or decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, I suggest reading up on U.S. political and economic interventions in Latin America. It’s a history that has shaped many of our lives and one that all Americans should understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wiener did not answer the question, prompting boos and jeers from live audience members and scathing comments in online chat rooms following the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener pointed directly to the debate in a video he posted online on Sunday, explaining his position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12069066\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12069066\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260107-SFCongressionalCandidateForum-25-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260107-SFCongressionalCandidateForum-25-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260107-SFCongressionalCandidateForum-25-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/260107-SFCongressionalCandidateForum-25-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Candidates running for California’s 11th Congressional District, (from left) Saikat Chakrabarti, state Sen.

But despite that pain and that trauma, we all have eyes, and we see the absolute devastation and catastrophic death toll in Gaza inflicted by the Israeli government. And we all have ears, and we hear the genocidal statements by certain senior members of the Israeli government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener previously has used phrases like “total destruction,” and “catastrophic levels of death” and “moral stain” to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza. By invoking genocide, he joins progressive members in Congress such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Rebecca Balint of Vermont. The vast majority of Jewish congressional leaders have not referred to Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2025, an independent United Nations commission concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Since the conflict escalated on Oct. 7, 2023, nearly 64,000 Palestinians have died, according to the World Health Organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason why it took me time to use the word genocide is because it is so fraught and raw in the Jewish community because of the Holocaust,” Wiener told KQED. “I see the devastation in Gaza, I see the settler violence and land grabs in the West Bank. I see the devastation of Palestinian communities. And for me as a Jew, Israel is important. To see the Israeli government engage in that level of destruction in Gaza, it is painful to see, and it’s unacceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents challenging Wiener for Pelosi’s seat criticized his shift in position after the debate, calling the timing suspect.[aside postID=news_12069366 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/RobBontaTrumpGetty.jpg']“At the debate, Scott Wiener refused to call Israel’s indiscriminate killing of women and children in Gaza a genocide,” Julie Edwards, a spokesperson for Chan’s campaign, said in an email. “People getting killed didn’t move him, but boos at a forum did. This is about politics, not principle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chakrabarti, who previously served as chief of staff for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and worked on Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, said the issue is about “moral clarity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Genocide shouldn’t be something you say yes or no to based on the reporter you are talking to or how your poll numbers look,” he posted on X after Wiener’s statement on Sunday. “Thousands of real people have died and continue to die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three candidates in last week’s debate shared similar positions on many issues.

And we all have ears, and we hear the genocidal statements by certain senior members of the Israeli government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener previously has used phrases like “total destruction,” and “catastrophic levels of death” and “moral stain” to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza. By invoking genocide, he joins progressive members in Congress such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Rebecca Balint of Vermont. The vast majority of Jewish congressional leaders have not referred to Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2025, an independent United Nations commission concluded that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

I see the devastation of Palestinian communities. And for me as a Jew, Israel is important. To see the Israeli government engage in that level of destruction in Gaza, it is painful to see, and it’s unacceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents challenging Wiener for Pelosi’s seat criticized his shift in position after the debate, calling the timing suspect.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, D-Orinda, who authored the similar bill Newsom vetoed last year. “The legislature’s role remains unchanged; we have both the role and responsibility to protect California’s children and to represent our constituents.”[aside postID=news_12060365 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/SamAltmanGetty.jpg']“While this is an important milestone, there’s more work to be done and I continue to believe this issue should be tackled by the legislature and governor through a public process inviting all stakeholders to participate,” wrote Sen. Steve Padilla, D-San Diego, who authored SB 243, an AI chatbot safety bill that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058013/newsom-signs-california-ai-transparency-bill-tailored-to-meet-tech-industry-tastes\">did get the governor’s signature\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla, however, disagrees with the proposal to put the law into the state constitution, warning that it would create an unnecessarily high bar to revise and update that law in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about opting to promote a ballot measure, Steyer argued he’s interested in whatever strategy or combination of strategies gets child safety regulations on the books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last year alone, Common Sense Media has sponsored or supported a variety of bills aimed at protecting children online, including social media warning labels and an age verification mandate. “At this pivotal moment for AI, we cannot make the same mistake that we did with social media,” Steyer said, criticizing Silicon Valley companies that have been using children as guinea pigs, and “fueled a youth mental health crisis here in California, and quite frankly, across the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lehane predictably used more measured terms. “We do believe AI is an empowerment tool. It helps people solve really hard problems,” he began, finishing with “Part and parcel of that is making sure parents have the control and are empowered to exercise control in terms of how their kids use it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative’s backers still need to gather signatures to qualify it for the California ballot this November, an effort that Lehane said is likely to begin next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
