His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

But he wasn’t up late studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t have nowhere to sleep last night,” he says. “So … kind of tired, but I’m not too worried about it. I’ll just make sure I get some rest whenever I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s sitting on a bench in the shade — just inside, the cafeteria teems with students eating, chatting and studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer is part of a homeless population that’s been invisible for a long time. \u003ca href=\"http://www.vchcorp.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-Homeless-Count-Results.pdf\">The latest homeless count in Los Angeles showed a 64 percent increase\u003c/a> in the number of 18- to 24-year-olds on the streets since last year, to a total of nearly 6,000. But experts say that dramatic rise is largely due to the fact that authorities got better at counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”HjFtUsWVHLbosTQ03QasPLW3z5x4x3FH”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Bedrossian, the \u003ca href=\"https://covenanthousecalifornia.org/\">CEO of Covenant House California\u003c/a>, a nonprofit specifically serving homeless 18- to 24-year-olds, says the latest number “is the number we’ve been saying for the last five to six years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless people in this age group are frequently hidden from plain sight, Bedrossian says. Instead of sleeping on sidewalks or in shelters, they often stay with friends or keep odd hours. This year, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority took that into account and surveyed young people about where to find their peers before the annual count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They really talked to young people about how, when and where to count them,” Bedrossian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Better counting could also explain why other communities around the country have seen similar increases, like San Diego, Atlanta and Seattle. Still, the uptick isn’t entirely due to better counting. It also reflects a real problem that’s getting worse. Bedrossian says Covenant House has seen more young men and women seeking help in recent years, though it’s difficult to quantify exactly how many more. About half are former foster kids, like Japheth Craig Dyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer lived in foster care until he was 18 and then stayed with his grandmother for a short time, but says they didn’t get along. He ended up on the street about two years ago. Sometimes he stays with friends, but he spends a lot of nights aimlessly riding the bus, which he describes as “demoralizing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625531\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/scott-encampment-1_wide-48099f9e7d750d2c4f0a92c29eb9b22536d9436b-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A bike, sofa and other belongings are stored in this makeshift shelter.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bike, sofa and other belongings are stored in this makeshift shelter. \u003ccite>(Anna Scott/KCRW)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bedrossian says Dyer isn’t alone, and that foster care often doesn’t provide the stability people need to successfully step into adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not in homes long enough to really develop family relationships when they turn 18,” Bedrossian said. “The design of the foster care system is to keep your children safe. It’s not to raise children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl points out that California does offer some services to young people for three years after leaving foster care. But she agrees with Bedrossian that it only goes so far. Once somebody turns 18, she says, “We can’t tell you what to do. We can’t order people to take you in, because you’re an adult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”vdbFsNNIQqZdkIGSnC9SKqjOL6GADF53″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kuehl says the city and county recently adopted several new measures aimed at stopping former foster youth from slipping through the cracks after turning 18, including more temporary shelters for young people and help for colleges to identify and track homeless students. Students like Japheth Craig Dyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He plans to become a nurse, and eventually a nursing professor, but he has a long road ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know I am going to get off the streets,” Dyer said. “It might take however long but it’s coming, gradually, slowly. I’m taking steppingstones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next step: Finding a permanent place to sleep, instead of crashing in a friend’s van or napping between classes. He recently applied for room in a shelter just for college students, but won’t be able to move in until next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 KCRW.

But he wasn’t up late studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t have nowhere to sleep last night,” he says. “So … kind of tired, but I’m not too worried about it. I’ll just make sure I get some rest whenever I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s sitting on a bench in the shade — just inside, the cafeteria teems with students eating, chatting and studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer is part of a homeless population that’s been invisible for a long time. \u003ca href=\"http://www.vchcorp.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-Homeless-Count-Results.pdf\">The latest homeless count in Los Angeles showed a 64 percent increase\u003c/a> in the number of 18- to 24-year-olds on the streets since last year, to a total of nearly 6,000. But experts say that dramatic rise is largely due to the fact that authorities got better at counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Bedrossian, the \u003ca href=\"https://covenanthousecalifornia.org/\">CEO of Covenant House California\u003c/a>, a nonprofit specifically serving homeless 18- to 24-year-olds, says the latest number “is the number we’ve been saying for the last five to six years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead of sleeping on sidewalks or in shelters, they often stay with friends or keep odd hours. This year, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority took that into account and surveyed young people about where to find their peers before the annual count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They really talked to young people about how, when and where to count them,” Bedrossian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Better counting could also explain why other communities around the country have seen similar increases, like San Diego, Atlanta and Seattle. Still, the uptick isn’t entirely due to better counting. It also reflects a real problem that’s getting worse. Bedrossian says Covenant House has seen more young men and women seeking help in recent years, though it’s difficult to quantify exactly how many more. About half are former foster kids, like Japheth Craig Dyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dyer lived in foster care until he was 18 and then stayed with his grandmother for a short time, but says they didn’t get along. He ended up on the street about two years ago. Sometimes he stays with friends, but he spends a lot of nights aimlessly riding the bus, which he describes as “demoralizing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625531\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/scott-encampment-1_wide-48099f9e7d750d2c4f0a92c29eb9b22536d9436b-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A bike, sofa and other belongings are stored in this makeshift shelter.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bike, sofa and other belongings are stored in this makeshift shelter. \u003ccite>(Anna Scott/KCRW)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bedrossian says Dyer isn’t alone, and that foster care often doesn’t provide the stability people need to successfully step into adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not in homes long enough to really develop family relationships when they turn 18,” Bedrossian said. “The design of the foster care system is to keep your children safe. It’s not to raise children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl points out that California does offer some services to young people for three years after leaving foster care. But she agrees with Bedrossian that it only goes so far. Once somebody turns 18, she says, “We can’t tell you what to do. We can’t order people to take you in, because you’re an adult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kuehl says the city and county recently adopted several new measures aimed at stopping former foster youth from slipping through the cracks after turning 18, including more temporary shelters for young people and help for colleges to identify and track homeless students. Students like Japheth Craig Dyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He plans to become a nurse, and eventually a nursing professor, but he has a long road ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know I am going to get off the streets,” Dyer said. “It might take however long but it’s coming, gradually, slowly. I’m taking steppingstones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next step: Finding a permanent place to sleep, instead of crashing in a friend’s van or napping between classes. He recently applied for room in a shelter just for college students, but won’t be able to move in until next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 KCRW.

Nobody can, whether it’d be in agriculture or anything else,” says Chad Clark, with Allied Grape Growers, a California wine-grape marketing cooperative that represents more than 100 wineries in areas affected by wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says dozens of vineyard owners have sustained damage. He says that could displace seasonal agricultural workers. Still, most vineyards are standing, and Clark says the priority there is to pick the grapes left on the vines as quickly as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s proving to be very difficult, just because of all the road closures,” Clark says. “And you know, what people have lost — they’ve lost their vehicles, their means of transportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley of the Moon is one of the oldest wineries in the region.

Some grape growers have said they’ll pay their seasonal agricultural workers anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luis Guerrero has 25 years of experience in wineries. He is working near Valley of the Moon’s cellar, using a big metal hose to fill wooden barrels with crushed grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really needed to start working again,” says Guerrero, who makes $16 per hour working in wine production. “The work that I lost last week, that was money that would have paid for my rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, seasonal hires in the area don’t get paid if they don’t work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the fires continue, there’s a lot of uncertainty,” said Guerrero. “Yesterday we came to work and they told us, ‘No,’ so we turned back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karissa Kruse, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://sonomawinegrape.org/about/staff/\">Sonoma County Winegrowers\u003c/a>, says some vineyard owners have said they will pay workers anyway for last week because the fires were an event completely out of the ordinary.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Nobody can, whether it’d be in agriculture or anything else,” says Chad Clark, with Allied Grape Growers, a California wine-grape marketing cooperative that represents more than 100 wineries in areas affected by wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says dozens of vineyard owners have sustained damage. He says that could displace seasonal agricultural workers. Still, most vineyards are standing, and Clark says the priority there is to pick the grapes left on the vines as quickly as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s proving to be very difficult, just because of all the road closures,” Clark says. “And you know, what people have lost — they’ve lost their vehicles, their means of transportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley of the Moon is one of the oldest wineries in the region. It wasn’t damaged, but many of its workers had to evacuate their homes. General Manager Dave MacDonald says grape growers are concerned about their workers and will try to help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winery subcontracts crews of farmworkers, plus has about 25 workers in other areas. MacDonald said only 10 workers were around the day I was there — and only for half a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know that you know every company in this industry will do their best to help to absorb some of that workforce and help to find some work for others that need it,” says MacDonald.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley of the Moon was closed last week, and it is only slowly beginning to return to normal operations. Some grape growers have said they’ll pay their seasonal agricultural workers anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luis Guerrero has 25 years of experience in wineries. He is working near Valley of the Moon’s cellar, using a big metal hose to fill wooden barrels with crushed grapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really needed to start working again,” says Guerrero, who makes $16 per hour working in wine production. “The work that I lost last week, that was money that would have paid for my rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, seasonal hires in the area don’t get paid if they don’t work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While the fires continue, there’s a lot of uncertainty,” said Guerrero. “Yesterday we came to work and they told us, ‘No,’ so we turned back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karissa Kruse, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://sonomawinegrape.org/about/staff/\">Sonoma County Winegrowers\u003c/a>, says some vineyard owners have said they will pay workers anyway for last week because the fires were an event completely out of the ordinary.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In many ways, it mirrors how Trump now approaches the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way he did business in Rancho Palos Verdes was to fight. He sued the local public school district and the city government and publicly insulted an opposing lawyer, who now happens to be on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been crucial to legal battles over Trump's policies as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lawsuit against the public school district\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year after he arrived in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-trump-tries-to-lock-school-district-out-of-2003dec03-story.html\">sued the local public school district\u003c/a> over a land dispute. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District had essentially been leasing part of its land to the previous owner of the golf course. When Trump took ownership of the property — and thus took over that agreement — he fought the district over how much that land was worth, and when the golf course would start paying fees. In late 2003, Trump sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Toibin, the superintendent of the school district at the time, says the district worried about the lawsuit's effect on its budget, especially when the schools needed to make repairs to aging facilities. After almost a year, Toibin says, the lawsuit had cost the district at least $100,000 in legal fees — the equivalent of two teachers' annual salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Milan Smith, who represented the school district in the lawsuit, \"just rubbed [Trump] the wrong way,\" Toibin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith also had some choice words for the future president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview at the time with the \u003ca href=\"http://archive.easyreadernews.com/story.php?StoryID=20023338&IssuePath=\">Easy Reader News\u003c/a>, a small Southern California news outlet, Smith called Trump \"pompous\" and \"arrogant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have never had any contact with any human being who appears to be so self-absorbed and so impressed with himself,\" Smith said, according to the \u003cem>Easy Reader\u003c/em>. \"He's kind of like a big bag of wind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was settled in 2004, and the Trump Organization agreed to pay the district $5 million in return for ownership of the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump later \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/2008/12/25/fridays-letters-to-the-editor-2/\">said that he \"won\" the lawsuit\u003c/a> \"through a very favorable settlement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A public celebration ends with a public insult\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money was settled, but for Trump, the grievance with attorney Milan Smith was not. And when Trump had a chance to revisit the lawsuit in front of the media, residents and local officials, he took it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a day of celebration on Jan. 14, 2005: Trump was hosting a ribbon-cutting for new luxury homes at the golf club. About a half-dozen TV cameras from outlets like CNBC and E!

In many ways, it mirrors how Trump now approaches the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way he did business in Rancho Palos Verdes was to fight. He sued the local public school district and the city government and publicly insulted an opposing lawyer, who now happens to be on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been crucial to legal battles over Trump's policies as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lawsuit against the public school district\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year after he arrived in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-trump-tries-to-lock-school-district-out-of-2003dec03-story.html\">sued the local public school district\u003c/a> over a land dispute. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District had essentially been leasing part of its land to the previous owner of the golf course. When Trump took ownership of the property — and thus took over that agreement — he fought the district over how much that land was worth, and when the golf course would start paying fees. In late 2003, Trump sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Toibin, the superintendent of the school district at the time, says the district worried about the lawsuit's effect on its budget, especially when the schools needed to make repairs to aging facilities. After almost a year, Toibin says, the lawsuit had cost the district at least $100,000 in legal fees — the equivalent of two teachers' annual salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Milan Smith, who represented the school district in the lawsuit, \"just rubbed [Trump] the wrong way,\" Toibin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith also had some choice words for the future president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview at the time with the \u003ca href=\"http://archive.easyreadernews.com/story.php?StoryID=20023338&IssuePath=\">Easy Reader News\u003c/a>, a small Southern California news outlet, Smith called Trump \"pompous\" and \"arrogant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have never had any contact with any human being who appears to be so self-absorbed and so impressed with himself,\" Smith said, according to the \u003cem>Easy Reader\u003c/em>. \"He's kind of like a big bag of wind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was settled in 2004, and the Trump Organization agreed to pay the district $5 million in return for ownership of the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump later \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/2008/12/25/fridays-letters-to-the-editor-2/\">said that he \"won\" the lawsuit\u003c/a> \"through a very favorable settlement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A public celebration ends with a public insult\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money was settled, but for Trump, the grievance with attorney Milan Smith was not. And when Trump had a chance to revisit the lawsuit in front of the media, residents and local officials, he took it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a day of celebration on Jan. 14, 2005: Trump was hosting a ribbon-cutting for new luxury homes at the golf club.

Entertainment Television stood in the back of a packed room, their lenses on Trump, who sat alongside the hopeful and excited local mayor and members of City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump started talking about the old lawsuit and called Smith \"an obnoxious a******.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11622796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/gettyimages-51971961_custom-856224ab3873371f5f7ec97939c9411012aab5e2-800x467.jpg\" alt=\"At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity.\" width=\"800\" height=\"467\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11622796\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity. \u003ccite>(Matthew Simmons/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>(NPR was unable to find recordings of the event, but the quote was reported by local newspaper \u003cem>The Daily Breeze\u003c/em> and recalled to NPR by three people in the room.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That, I would say, was the moment when I think I realized that the relationship between the city and the Trump organization might well have some significant problems,\" says former Councilman Long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment, White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in an email, \"You will need to contact the Trump Organization.\" The Trump Organization did not respond to NPR's phone calls, emails, letters or fax message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A series of spats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the relationship between Rancho Palos Verdes and the Trump Organization became much more contentious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a debate over the size of the 70-foot-tall flagpole that Trump erected at the golf course in 2006 to fly the American flag.
