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.",

His mother worked as a teacher there. Like so many other California kids of his age, he listened to bands like Metallica and Soundgarden, watched “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and dreamed of being a pro skater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, as he aged, those dreams morphed into aspirations of a military career — his father had served in the Marine Corps. Damigo said his desire to serve became more pronounced after the Sept. 11 attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pretty much watched live as the second tower was hit,” he said. “That was a pretty big thing to watch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I became disillusioned, after the Iraq War, with mainstream narratives. … Most of [David Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo, Founder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Damigo also credited his socially conservative family, who he said raised him to have pride in the country, for influencing his decision to enlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He would serve two deployments in Iraq in the infantry. It was on these tours that Damigo’s views on race began to be shaped by the violent conflict he saw on a daily basis — killings, murders, explosions and misery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I saw them in Iraq, which is also a multireligious, multicultural society,” Damigo said. “And I generally saw it growing up. And it was certainly a more extreme form, but it definitely, I think, it did make me think a bit more about race and population dynamics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence that began to shape Damigo’s thinking on race also killed two of his close friends in combat. According to court documents obtained by El Tecolote and KQED, Damigo began suffering acute symptoms of PTSD as a result of his exposure to the Iraq War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo blames that trauma for his decision to rob a San Diego cab driver at gunpoint after his return from Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a psychological evaluation conducted for the court as part of the criminal case, Damigo said he attacked the cab driver, Changiz Ezzatyar, because he mistook him for an Iraqi. Damigo said the decision came after a night of solitary heavy drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychologist Heidi Kraft conducted another evaluation of Damigo after the assault. In her clinical notes, which were included in court documents from his trial, she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“While there is no evidence that the patient experienced psychiatric dissociation during the robbery, his PTSD symptoms were so disabling, and his use of alcohol to self-medicate was so heavy, it appears that the combination of these factors led to a serious and uncharacteristic breakdown in both insight and judgment the night of his arrest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kraft added that some PTSD patients engage in thrill-seeking behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Based on this Marine’s history, which is free of any behavior even remotely similar to the night of his arrest, it is likely that he may have become one of those patients,” Kraft concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His family strongly defended Damigo during the court hearing, and his story was featured on the HBO documentary, \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/wartorn-1861-2010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Wartorn,”\u003c/a> as part of a broader series on post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like being dropped in a nightmare,” his mother, Charilyn Damigo, told HBO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/08/damigo.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/20170813_NathanDamigo_Credit_BertJohnson-1-1920x1280.jpg\" Title=\"Californian Who Helped Lead Charlottesville Protests Used Berkeley as a Test Run\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s mother and others wrote letters to the court, urging leniency and understanding from the judge. But worried that a defense centered on PTSD would fail, Damigo accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to six years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that time that he started reading the words of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who remains a white supremacist leader and was at the Charlottesville event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I became disillusioned after the Iraq War with mainstream narratives,” Damigo said. “Most of [Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>College Students Seen as the Key to a Separate White Homeland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s white supremacist group — Identity Evropa — is based in California but has chapters on college campuses throughout the country. The group has a high visibility on campuses from San Diego to Tuscaloosa to Charlottesville. On these campuses are fliers, banners, posters and bathroom graffiti advertising Identity Evropa videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s views on race and nationalism may have been shaped by the four years in prison, but in many ways they are clear echoes of older white supremacists such as Duke. In an interview with KQED, Damigo said he believes white people need their own separate country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that he also wants his organization to be seen as more acceptable to a broader population. For example, Damigo has banned members of Identity Evropa from having tattoos on their faces, necks or hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also doesn’t swear, instead using words like “gosh” or “golly” in the place of expletives. And as other racists have argued for forceful relocation or purging of minority groups from American society, Damigo avoided talking about how he would create a white-only homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck. … They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But he doesn’t avoid conflict. Instead — as they did in Berkeley and Charlottesville — Identity Evropa and aligned white supremacist groups seem to revel in goading counterprotesters into violent clashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also indicated that at this stage he’s more interested in recruiting members and building a durable movement than hammering out specific policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, this is the stuff that will likely never happen in my lifetime,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Damigo said he is targeting college-educated white males as potential new members of Identity Evropa. That’s a big reason these rallies have been largely organized on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not just protests. They’re recruitment drives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck,” Damigo said. “They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a strategy shared by Damigo’s friend, Richard Spencer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the most outspoken and visible members of the white supremacist movement\u003c/a>. Spencer heads the National Policy Institute, a white supremacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For better or for worse, I am not trying to reach each and every person who goes to a Trump rally,” Spencer told KQED prior to this weekend’s violence. “There are certainly more populist versions of the alt-right. I think it’s abundantly clear that I’m going after an elite.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach appears to be working for Identity Evropa, which has recruited more than 500 members at colleges across the country, according to Damigo. KQED could not independently verify that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brian Levin — a noted hate-group researcher and professor at CSU San Bernardino’s Department of Criminal Justice — said he does not believe those numbers are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t believe any membership claims by Damigo,” Levin said. “Damigo is trying to not just be the opening act in the white supremacy movement. The membership of his group is far smaller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents. … They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really.’\u003ccite>Jean Twenge,\u003cbr>\nSan Diego State University psychology professor, author\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, several prominent social scientists who have begun studying the rise of the hard right said they, too, are seeing a significant uptick of participation in racist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those researchers is Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who wrote the book “iGen.” She said her research shows that a minority of people younger than 24 hold racist beliefs, but there has been an increase in those numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents,” Twenge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge is unsure why this trend is happening. But she said anecdotally, there appears to be evidence that white nationalism is taking root among young men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley sociologist Arlie Hochschild agreed. During research for her book, “Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,” she ran across a hardening of views among young men, specifically about blacks and Muslims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a great anger, especially with regards to groups like Black Lives Matter or American-Islamic groups,” Hochschild said. “There is a deep-rooted belief that in the past eight years, those groups have somehow cut to the front of the line, that their needs are being placed ahead of whites, especially white men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That anger — that somehow white history and status in society is being displaced by minority groups and women — was a driving force and rallying cry among white supremacists in Charlottesville, who marched with tiki torches lit to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. The event to celebrate confederate and white heritage was organized locally by Jason Kessler, a local white nationalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get. … Publicity is a good thing. From a PR perspective we want people to talk about us.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to Richard Spencer, who spoke to KQED a few weeks before the violence and deaths in Charlottesville, Damigo and his group took the lead to organize white supremacist participation among people from outside Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d love to take credit for it, but it was more Nathan,” Spencer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome in Charlottesville is markedly different than it was in the Berkeley rally. Three people have died, including 32-year-old Heather Heyer, allegedly run over by an apparent white supremacist. Two Virginia State Police officers — Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates — died a few hours later when their patrol helicopter crashed en route to the scene of the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo was arrested in Virginia for failing to disperse. He’s set up an online fundraiser for his legal costs related to what he describes as civil rights violations in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to his arrest, Damigo said he was looking forward to more campus events. He told KQED one of his plans is to set up an event at UC Berkeley with Richard Spencer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get,” Damigo said. “Publicity is a good thing.

Like so many other California kids of his age, he listened to bands like Metallica and Soundgarden, watched “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and dreamed of being a pro skater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, as he aged, those dreams morphed into aspirations of a military career — his father had served in the Marine Corps. Damigo said his desire to serve became more pronounced after the Sept. 11 attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pretty much watched live as the second tower was hit,” he said. “That was a pretty big thing to watch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I became disillusioned, after the Iraq War, with mainstream narratives. … Most of [David Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo, Founder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Damigo also credited his socially conservative family, who he said raised him to have pride in the country, for influencing his decision to enlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He would serve two deployments in Iraq in the infantry.

And it was certainly a more extreme form, but it definitely, I think, it did make me think a bit more about race and population dynamics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence that began to shape Damigo’s thinking on race also killed two of his close friends in combat. According to court documents obtained by El Tecolote and KQED, Damigo began suffering acute symptoms of PTSD as a result of his exposure to the Iraq War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo blames that trauma for his decision to rob a San Diego cab driver at gunpoint after his return from Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a psychological evaluation conducted for the court as part of the criminal case, Damigo said he attacked the cab driver, Changiz Ezzatyar, because he mistook him for an Iraqi.

But worried that a defense centered on PTSD would fail, Damigo accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to six years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that time that he started reading the words of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who remains a white supremacist leader and was at the Charlottesville event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I became disillusioned after the Iraq War with mainstream narratives,” Damigo said. “Most of [Duke’s] arguments I just couldn’t debunk, no matter how hard I tried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>College Students Seen as the Key to a Separate White Homeland\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s white supremacist group — Identity Evropa — is based in California but has chapters on college campuses throughout the country. The group has a high visibility on campuses from San Diego to Tuscaloosa to Charlottesville. On these campuses are fliers, banners, posters and bathroom graffiti advertising Identity Evropa videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo’s views on race and nationalism may have been shaped by the four years in prison, but in many ways they are clear echoes of older white supremacists such as Duke. In an interview with KQED, Damigo said he believes white people need their own separate country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he added that he also wants his organization to be seen as more acceptable to a broader population. For example, Damigo has banned members of Identity Evropa from having tattoos on their faces, necks or hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to be seen as overly threatening,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also doesn’t swear, instead using words like “gosh” or “golly” in the place of expletives. And as other racists have argued for forceful relocation or purging of minority groups from American society, Damigo avoided talking about how he would create a white-only homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck. … They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But he doesn’t avoid conflict. Instead — as they did in Berkeley and Charlottesville — Identity Evropa and aligned white supremacist groups seem to revel in goading counterprotesters into violent clashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo also indicated that at this stage he’s more interested in recruiting members and building a durable movement than hammering out specific policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, this is the stuff that will likely never happen in my lifetime,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Damigo said he is targeting college-educated white males as potential new members of Identity Evropa. That’s a big reason these rallies have been largely organized on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re not just protests. They’re recruitment drives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Universities are institutions where the cognitive elite of the youth tend to bottleneck,” Damigo said. “They are going to be the ones who are going to be most likely to bring about change, long-term institutional change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a strategy shared by Damigo’s friend, Richard Spencer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the most outspoken and visible members of the white supremacist movement\u003c/a>. Spencer heads the National Policy Institute, a white supremacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For better or for worse, I am not trying to reach each and every person who goes to a Trump rally,” Spencer told KQED prior to this weekend’s violence. “There are certainly more populist versions of the alt-right. I think it’s abundantly clear that I’m going after an elite.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This approach appears to be working for Identity Evropa, which has recruited more than 500 members at colleges across the country, according to Damigo. KQED could not independently verify that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brian Levin — a noted hate-group researcher and professor at CSU San Bernardino’s Department of Criminal Justice — said he does not believe those numbers are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t believe any membership claims by Damigo,” Levin said. “Damigo is trying to not just be the opening act in the white supremacy movement. The membership of his group is far smaller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents. … They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really.’\u003ccite>Jean Twenge,\u003cbr>\nSan Diego State University psychology professor, author\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>However, several prominent social scientists who have begun studying the rise of the hard right said they, too, are seeing a significant uptick of participation in racist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those researchers is Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who wrote the book “iGen.” She said her research shows that a minority of people younger than 24 hold racist beliefs, but there has been an increase in those numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at whether white people thought black people are lazy and unintelligent, and there was an uptick in the youngest respondents,” Twenge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re showing a lot of prejudice, really,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenge is unsure why this trend is happening. But she said anecdotally, there appears to be evidence that white nationalism is taking root among young men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley sociologist Arlie Hochschild agreed. During research for her book, “Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,” she ran across a hardening of views among young men, specifically about blacks and Muslims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a great anger, especially with regards to groups like Black Lives Matter or American-Islamic groups,” Hochschild said. “There is a deep-rooted belief that in the past eight years, those groups have somehow cut to the front of the line, that their needs are being placed ahead of whites, especially white men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That anger — that somehow white history and status in society is being displaced by minority groups and women — was a driving force and rallying cry among white supremacists in Charlottesville, who marched with tiki torches lit to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. The event to celebrate confederate and white heritage was organized locally by Jason Kessler, a local white nationalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get. … Publicity is a good thing. From a PR perspective we want people to talk about us.’\u003ccite>Nathan Damigo,\u003cbr>\nFounder of Identity Evropa\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to Richard Spencer, who spoke to KQED a few weeks before the violence and deaths in Charlottesville, Damigo and his group took the lead to organize white supremacist participation among people from outside Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d love to take credit for it, but it was more Nathan,” Spencer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome in Charlottesville is markedly different than it was in the Berkeley rally. Three people have died, including 32-year-old Heather Heyer, allegedly run over by an apparent white supremacist. Two Virginia State Police officers — Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates — died a few hours later when their patrol helicopter crashed en route to the scene of the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo was arrested in Virginia for failing to disperse. He’s set up an online fundraiser for his legal costs related to what he describes as civil rights violations in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to his arrest, Damigo said he was looking forward to more campus events. He told KQED one of his plans is to set up an event at UC Berkeley with Richard Spencer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more these people kick and scream and whine and cry, the more publicity we get,” Damigo said. “Publicity is a good thing.

"content": "\u003cp>Over 75 people were arrested and more will be criminally charged as part of a joint operation targeting gun, drug and property crimes in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, Bay Area, state and federal law enforcement officials announced Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two-year effort, titled “Operation Cold Day,” led to the largest number of arrest warrants issued in the history of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to Jill Snyder, ATF special agent in charge of the bureau’s San Francisco division.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The operation began in the summer of 2015 after a spate of Zipcar thefts in San Francisco, officials said. The California Highway Patrol and San Francisco District Attorney’s Office reached out to other jurisdictions and eventually assembled a team led by the ATF that included the California Highway Patrol, San Francisco, Redwood City, San Bruno and Daly City police departments, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is really law enforcement at its best,” San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón said. “This is everyone coming together, putting your egos at the door, not being concerned who’s going to get credit for what.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder said the operation began by targeting people known to have “street gang affiliations, violent criminal histories and those who were conducting firearms and narcotics trafficking,” and it involved undercover officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, more than 1,000 law enforcement officials from around the country served arrest and search warrants in the Bay Area. Snyder said the operation resulted in the recovery of 48 stolen vehicles, the purchase or seizure of more than 100 guns and the confiscation of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and prescription narcotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Through communication and coordination among the federal, state and local partners, we were able to interrupt supply chains of narcotics and illegal firearms at multiple levels simultaneously,” said U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 115 arrest warrants issued, 42 are for defendants facing federal gun and drug charges. The largest share of state defendants are being prosecuted in San Mateo County, where District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said 48 people face felony charges. The number of San Francisco defendants was not immediately available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the San Mateo defendants face charges for violent crimes, but law enforcement officials involved said the arrests will prevent and deter violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has to do with the impact on the community that might be thinking of engaging in this kind of conduct,” Wagstaffe said. “We already know that word on the street is that this is not a game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time you have people running around with stolen guns, that by definition is a gateway to violence,” Gascón said. “People do not use stolen guns to go to the movies. They use it to commit armed robberies, to assault people, to kill people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco DA’s investigator suggested the name “Operation Cold Day” as a joke about the feasibility of such a large investigation involving so many agencies, by saying it would be “a cold day in you-know-where before an operation like this would come together,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The California Highway Patrol and San Francisco District Attorney’s Office reached out to other jurisdictions and eventually assembled a team led by the ATF that included the California Highway Patrol, San Francisco, Redwood City, San Bruno and Daly City police departments, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is really law enforcement at its best,” San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón said. “This is everyone coming together, putting your egos at the door, not being concerned who’s going to get credit for what.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder said the operation began by targeting people known to have “street gang affiliations, violent criminal histories and those who were conducting firearms and narcotics trafficking,” and it involved undercover officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Snyder said the operation resulted in the recovery of 48 stolen vehicles, the purchase or seizure of more than 100 guns and the confiscation of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and prescription narcotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Through communication and coordination among the federal, state and local partners, we were able to interrupt supply chains of narcotics and illegal firearms at multiple levels simultaneously,” said U.S. Attorney Brian Stretch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 115 arrest warrants issued, 42 are for defendants facing federal gun and drug charges. The largest share of state defendants are being prosecuted in San Mateo County, where District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said 48 people face felony charges. The number of San Francisco defendants was not immediately available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the San Mateo defendants face charges for violent crimes, but law enforcement officials involved said the arrests will prevent and deter violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has to do with the impact on the community that might be thinking of engaging in this kind of conduct,” Wagstaffe said. “We already know that word on the street is that this is not a game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time you have people running around with stolen guns, that by definition is a gateway to violence,” Gascón said. “People do not use stolen guns to go to the movies. They use it to commit armed robberies, to assault people, to kill people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco DA’s investigator suggested the name “Operation Cold Day” as a joke about the feasibility of such a large investigation involving so many agencies, by saying it would be “a cold day in you-know-where before an operation like this would come together,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A new leader at Google could have the solution — if her bosses want to listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the center of this storm is the company’s new chief diversity officer, Danielle Brown.

In her own memo, she rebuked the controversial post by the fired male employee, saying simply: “It advanced incorrect assumptions about gender.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said diversity is a “fundamental part” of Google’s values. “We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company, and we’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Google does next — what commitment it makes, if any, to look more like the rest of America — remains to be seen.

Setting these goals, communicating the goals, tying pay to the goals. I think that’s been key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was at an important place at an important time. Intel had decided to do something \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/02/03/465270938/intel-discloses-diversity-data-challenges-tech-industry-to-follow-suit\">no other tech giant had done before\u003c/a>: publicly state how many women and underrepresented minorities it wanted to recruit, and how many it managed to retain. Of all new hires, Intel told the world, at least 40 percent would have to be women or underrepresented minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think publishing the data, showing our employees the data, and regularly looking at and talking about our data — transparency really helps us see where we’re hurting, where we need to fix, and jibe in with quick solutions,” she explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ppkvdsvV39cD1q8bfeQ9VXD2tl59FCoS”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has thrown money at the diversity problem — more than a quarter-billion dollars, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/googles-diversity-efforts-are-making-little-progress-2470784457.html\">according to Axios\u003c/a>. But this company, which values metrics so much, has not publicly stated any measurable goals when it comes to diversity hiring or employee retention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/diversity/\">diversity report\u003c/a>, Google said 31 percent of its employees are women and that women represent 20 percent of the company’s tech workers, up from 17 percent three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Google hasn’t disclosed the numbers of new hires or of exits by gender and race. And the company has \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/googles-diversity-efforts-are-making-little-progress-2470784457.html\">little to show\u003c/a> for its efforts thus far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This heated moment could be a teachable one. The lesson from Intel, Brown explained when she was that company’s diversity czar, was: Public pressure and scrutiny make goals more real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did make tremendous progress on women this year,” she said at the time. “And specifically what we were able to do this year is help really narrow the gap in female representation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR requested an interview with Brown, to talk about her plans at her new company. A Google spokesperson declined NPR’s request and said: “I can’t tell you what the strategy is going to be. I can’t say one way or the other if Danielle is going to try to mimic her work at Intel.

A new leader at Google could have the solution — if her bosses want to listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the center of this storm is the company’s new chief diversity officer, Danielle Brown. Just a few weeks into the job, she’s been out front. In her own memo, she rebuked the controversial post by the fired male employee, saying simply: “It advanced incorrect assumptions about gender.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said diversity is a “fundamental part” of Google’s values. “We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company, and we’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Google does next — what commitment it makes, if any, to look more like the rest of America — remains to be seen.

Setting these goals, communicating the goals, tying pay to the goals. I think that’s been key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was at an important place at an important time. Intel had decided to do something \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/02/03/465270938/intel-discloses-diversity-data-challenges-tech-industry-to-follow-suit\">no other tech giant had done before\u003c/a>: publicly state how many women and underrepresented minorities it wanted to recruit, and how many it managed to retain. Of all new hires, Intel told the world, at least 40 percent would have to be women or underrepresented minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think publishing the data, showing our employees the data, and regularly looking at and talking about our data — transparency really helps us see where we’re hurting, where we need to fix, and jibe in with quick solutions,” she explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has thrown money at the diversity problem — more than a quarter-billion dollars, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/googles-diversity-efforts-are-making-little-progress-2470784457.html\">according to Axios\u003c/a>. But this company, which values metrics so much, has not publicly stated any measurable goals when it comes to diversity hiring or employee retention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/diversity/\">diversity report\u003c/a>, Google said 31 percent of its employees are women and that women represent 20 percent of the company’s tech workers, up from 17 percent three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Google hasn’t disclosed the numbers of new hires or of exits by gender and race. And the company has \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/googles-diversity-efforts-are-making-little-progress-2470784457.html\">little to show\u003c/a> for its efforts thus far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This heated moment could be a teachable one. The lesson from Intel, Brown explained when she was that company’s diversity czar, was: Public pressure and scrutiny make goals more real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did make tremendous progress on women this year,” she said at the time. “And specifically what we were able to do this year is help really narrow the gap in female representation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR requested an interview with Brown, to talk about her plans at her new company. A Google spokesperson declined NPR’s request and said: “I can’t tell you what the strategy is going to be. I can’t say one way or the other if Danielle is going to try to mimic her work at Intel. But the spirit of her success record — that’s something we’d like to have here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Two weeks after President Trump announced via Twitter that he was going to ban transgender military members, a lawsuit has been filed to block the tweet from becoming policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed Wednesday by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (\u003ca href=\"http://www.nclrights.org/\">NCLR\u003c/a>) in San Francisco and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (\u003ca href=\"https://www.glad.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GLAD\u003c/a>) on behalf of five transgender active-duty service members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs currently serve in the Coast Guard, National Guard and the Army, including one who expects to be deployed to Iraq soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs -- identified as Jane Doe 1 through 5 -- allege that after being told by the Obama administration last year that they could serve openly, they now fear being kicked out of the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"#complaint\">legal complaint\u003c/a> filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., states that \"execution of the President’s directive will result in an end to service by openly transgender service members and has already resulted in immediate, concrete injury to Plaintiffs by unsettling and destabilizing plaintiffs’ reasonable expectation of continued service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It claims violation of the plaintiffs' equal protection and due process rights under the U.S. Constitution by banning their service without any justification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1530.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> by the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica found transgender people were \"fit to serve, and that allowing them to serve openly would have minimal financial costs or impact on readiness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, is one of the attorneys representing the service members. He calls changing the policy a year after it was implemented “shameful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean that is cruel, irrational, harmful, very harmful to our nation’s military,\" Minter told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the sudden announcement by Trump two weeks ago -- without spelling out any details of what the new policy would be -- caught transgender service members by complete surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They were just blindsided and left with no way to make plans about their future re-enlistment,\" Minter said. \"They don’t know if they’re losing their jobs, their health care, their benefits.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Defense Department declined to comment on the lawsuit, saying only that they were working with the White House to develop a written policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One question is: Can a lawsuit against a policy not yet written succeed in blocking it from being implemented? UC Hastings emeritus law professor David Levine said the legal challenge is \"reasonable, and not premature,\" given that the plaintiffs all have existing contracts with the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do think it would be quite a strong argument for saying, at least as to currently serving members of the armed forces, that they should not be forced out at this point,\" Levine said. He added that singling out transgender people for the military ban was \"irrational,\" given studies showing allowing them to serve openly would have minimal costs and impact on troop readiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estimates on how many transgender people currently serve in the military vary widely, but Rand Corp. recently estimated there were more than 6,600 on the high end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"complaint\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Read the Complaint\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3921893-Transgender-Military-Ban-Complaint-Filed\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

UC Hastings emeritus law professor David Levine said the legal challenge is \"reasonable, and not premature,\" given that the plaintiffs all have existing contracts with the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do think it would be quite a strong argument for saying, at least as to currently serving members of the armed forces, that they should not be forced out at this point,\" Levine said.
