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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Starting at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31, Ziad Reslan began walking nearly 40 miles from San Francisco to Mountain View to raise money for LGBTQ+ Afghans and refugees who have been affected by the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan two months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite a coalition of U.S. troops and their allies airlifting over 100,000 people out of Afghanistan in August, many Afghans who identify as LGBTQ+ were unable to flee and remain in the country fearing persecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of all the bad news we’ve gotten over the last two years, nothing has been harder to hear than what happened in Afghanistan,” Reslan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Asylum-LGBT-Claims-Mar-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 2021 report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law\u003c/a>, consensual same-sex conduct is criminalized in as many as 69 countries, and when people are convicted, at least 10 countries still use the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reslan, who grew up in Beirut with a Syrian father and Lebanese mother, came to the U.S. at age 17. As an out gay man, he said he’s been thinking of the LGBTQ+ refugees whose experiences have been much harder, “with so many countries criminalizing their very existence.” His walk he said, is an “ode” to the many miles refugees must cross every day to get to safety. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ziad Reslan, San Francisco resident walking to Mountain View\"]‘We complain about traffic. We complain about staying on 101, but people who don’t have a choice have to run from their country and have to walk many, many, many more miles just to get to safety.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a gay Arab man who grew up in the Middle East, I honestly cannot think of a better place to be out and gay than San Francisco,” Reslan said. For him, it’s this dichotomy that prompted him to bring attention to the many members of the LGBTQ+ community around the world who don’t enjoy the same freedoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many tech workers and Googlers like Reslan, the commute along the peninsula to Mountain View is a familiar journey. “We complain about traffic. We complain about staying on 101, but people who don’t have a choice have to run from their country and have to walk many, many, many more miles just to get to safety,” Reslan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea started just 10 days ago, but already he’s raised over $3,500 through his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/walking-for-lgbtqplus-refugees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoFundMe\u003c/a> campaign and $22,000 internally through Google matching grants. All proceeds will go to a San Francisco-based organization called \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://www.rainbow-street.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://www.rainbow-street.org/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">Rainbow Street\u003c/a> that works specifically with LGBTQ+ refugees from the Middle East and North Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We as an organization envision a world where queer people everywhere can live with dignity,” said Alex Sayde, who is on the board of the organization.

During that period, Hall also fatally shot Tyrell Wilson, a Black unhoused man whose family said was suffering from depression and paranoia.

Hall has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting of Wilson, which remains under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although I wish the jury had returned a not-guilty verdict on all counts, I respect their service,” Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston said in a statement. “We ask our officers to make split-second decisions and many of the jurors understood that.

He was more of a theoretician. And I think he was pretty surprised at how rapidly [the Panthers] grew in exposure, whether it was fame or infamy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newton and Seale wrote the party’s Ten-Point Program, which laid out the party’s beliefs and its demands. The party’s Survival Programs were beloved in nearly 70 communities the U.S. and abroad where it had chapters. The Panthers were known, among other things, for free breakfast programs for schoolchildren and a pioneering sickle cell disease testing program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panthers’ antagonistic relationship with law enforcement has long cast a shadow over its legacy. In 1967, Newton was jailed for the shooting death of an Oakland police officer who had pulled him over. Although Newton was himself shot during the encounter and denied being responsible for the officer’s death, he was tried and convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While imprisoned, the “Free Huey” campaign helped make him a symbol of racial injustice in the American criminal legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His conviction was overturned in 1970, and he emerged from prison to discover the party had grown well beyond Oakland. Its image largely centered on armed self-defense, including violent and lethal encounters between Panthers and police, both in Oakland and around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we also need to recognize the very real ways in which a lot of the violence that surrounded the Panthers was instigated and provoked by law enforcement themselves,” Widell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11893580\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11893580 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/Image-from-iOS-7-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd of people with umbrellas and masks watch or record with their phone action beyond the frame to the right.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/Image-from-iOS-7-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/Image-from-iOS-7-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/Image-from-iOS-7-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/Image-from-iOS-7.jpg 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Despite the rain, the crowd turned out for the unveiling of the Dr. Huey P.

In 1967, Newton was jailed for the shooting death of an Oakland police officer who had pulled him over.

The agency issued a notice of violation to a \"responsible party,\" according to Coast Guard representative Lt.

But they changed course months later, deciding to have the contractor review Chevron's probe of the incident along with the investigations conducted by state and federal agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change did not go over well with Councilmember Jimenez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need a peer review. We need another set of eyes to give us the conclusions,\" she said. \"It doesn't really seem independent. It doesn't build trust with the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County health officials have said that the best time to do an investigation is immediately after an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the process to hire a third-party consultant takes time, a good incident investigation is compromised,\" said Randy Sawyer, the county's deputy director of health services. \"This is why it was decided to review the investigation done by Chevron [to] determine the accuracy of their investigation.\"\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11859660,news_11861741,news_11856920\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]In late August, the county signed a $95,000 contract with AcuTech Consulting Group, a company based in Virginia, which has \u003ca href=\"https://acutech-consulting.com/services/case-studies/process-safety-support-for-chevrons-capital-projects/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">worked with Chevron on several projects\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firm could receive the refinery's root-cause analysis soon.

The agency issued a notice of violation to a \"responsible party,\" according to Coast Guard representative Lt. Stephanie Cardenas, who declined to provide more details on the agency's work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has filed \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/hazmat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">six follow-up reports\u003c/a> with the county's hazardous materials program and none has offered any new insight into the cause of the pipeline break.

But they changed course months later, deciding to have the contractor review Chevron's probe of the incident along with the investigations conducted by state and federal agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change did not go over well with Councilmember Jimenez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't need a peer review. We need another set of eyes to give us the conclusions,\" she said. \"It doesn't really seem independent. It doesn't build trust with the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County health officials have said that the best time to do an investigation is immediately after an incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the process to hire a third-party consultant takes time, a good incident investigation is compromised,\" said Randy Sawyer, the county's deputy director of health services. \"This is why it was decided to review the investigation done by Chevron [to] determine the accuracy of their investigation.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Another officer fired two nonlethal beanbag rounds at Cortesluna, after which he followed police orders to lie down.

After the incident, Cortesluna sued over use of excessive force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Rivas-Villegas was not entitled to qualified immunity, citing similarities to a previous case called LaLonde v. the County of Riverside, in which two police officers were denied qualified immunity after kneeling on a facedown unresisting suspect named John LaLonde.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in reversing the appeals court’s decision, the Supreme Court said several other factors set the two incidents apart: The officers in LaLonde were responding to a noise complaint, not a domestic violence emergency; LaLonde was unarmed, while Cortesluna was carrying a knife; and Rivas-Villegas had knelt on Cortesluna for only eight seconds as officers retrieved the knife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='police-reform']In the second case, three police officers in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, responded to an emergency call from a woman whose ex-husband, Dominic Rollice, was drunk and refusing to leave her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers confronted Rollice in the garage, where he grabbed a hammer. The officers drew their guns and yelled for Rollice to drop it.

That risk, though undoubtedly substantial and serious, may well not exceed contemporary standards of decency,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The vaccine — in combination with the myriad other measures [the prison system] has undertaken — has essentially eliminated the more serious threat from COVID-19 to any inmate who accepts the vaccine.”[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Attorney Charles Carbone\"]‘You can violate the rights of your prisoner population to the point where you basically cause preventable deaths, and there’s really not going to be any accountability.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard said he will hear attorneys’ objections or comments on Nov. 8 before making a final ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Charles Carbone, who represented the first incarcerated person in a case that now involves hundreds, said there is little chance of changing Howard’s ruling, but that it will be appealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard meticulously documented human rights and constitutional abuses, Carbone said, but then “said, ‘Sorry, so what. Sorry that people died, sorry that hundreds of correctional staff got sick, and sorry that it was largely if not entirely preventable.

Some of the incarcerated people sent to San Quentin had already been infected but were inadequately tested for the virus, and they were not quarantined upon their arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outbreak prompted more than 700 people incarcerated at San Quentin to petition the Marin County Superior Court for their immediate release. About 300 were consolidated into a single case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in September ordered all California prison employees to be vaccinated, though the state is fighting the mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard ruled in one of several lawsuits resulting from the San Quentin outbreak, including a federal civil rights lawsuit by the family of 61-year-old Daniel Ruiz, who died, and a proposed Marin County class-action lawsuit on behalf of Steven Malear and what the lawsuit says are at least 1,400 incarcerated people infected at San Quentin .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Essentially, Newsom’s vetoes in 2021 proved more about what he has in common with his predecessors than how he is unique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He is similar to other governors in that there are some consistent themes or bases for governors to veto legislation,” said Chris Micheli, a lobbyist and attorney who teaches law school courses on the legislative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His first year in office was very different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom held celebratory public events with legislators to sign their bills, he announced vetoes by listing them at the end of press releases. So, many of them flew under the radar. It required reading his veto messages to get explanations or justifications of why he didn’t believe the proposals should become law in California. On some bills, he cited multiple reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some key themes that emerged from Newsom’s 66 vetoes this year:\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>That’s not in the budget\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Some bills advancing causes that Newsom has championed in the past got his thumbs-down nonetheless. Why? Because, he argued in many veto messages, the proposal would cost money the state had not budgeted for, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11862460/as-californias-rich-get-richer-state-expects-10-5-billion-surplus-despite-slow-economy\">despite an unprecedented windfall of state revenue and federal aid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what Newsom said in nixing a bill to raise the amount of salary that workers can receive while taking paid family leave — even though he signed two expansions of the family leave program in years past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11891396\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/SF-high-school-in-person-class-1020x680.jpg\"]A spokesperson from Newsom’s finance department told CalMatters that the bill would have hiked the cost for both employees and the state, including millions in computer upgrades and public outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also made the cost argument in vetoing a huge expansion of college financial aid. Just months ago, he signed a budget that includes an additional $3.3 billion for colleges and universities, including $1.5 billion in increases for student grants and work study opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Expanding access to financial aid has been a priority for my Administration,” the Governor wrote in his veto. But, he told lawmakers, massive changes to the system need to be considered as part of the regular budget process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Calling out repeat bills\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As he’s becoming more seasoned as governor, a new theme is emerging in Newsom’s vetoes: calling out the repeats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As I stated in a veto message on similar legislation in 2019,” Newsom wrote in nixing a bill that would prohibit paying petition circulators per signature gathered, “I appreciate the intent of this bill to incentivize grassroots support for the initiative, referendum, and recall process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11891010\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/illustration_NewsomMoney_v1-1020x678.jpg\"]But, he said, changing the way workers are paid to gather signatures could make the process more costly, giving wealthy interests even more influence over the initiative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, he vetoed legislation to let supervisors in state government settle disputes through binding arbitration by saying it could add costs and create conflicts with existing procedures, “the same concerns I had with a previous, nearly-identical bill … which I also vetoed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Gov. Brown — who saw plenty of repeats as California’s longest-serving governor — also had a habit of using his veto messages to highlight the rationale behind his prior vetoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/_/g74doLv8ZouV2FRyiUiB?src=embed\" title=\"Newsom vetoes compared to other governors, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"712\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Overwhelming support is no guarantee\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom blocked a number of bills that were not controversial as they moved through the Legislature, making his veto a surprise after proposals advanced for months drama-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attempt to crack down on the use of “bots” to scoop up camping reservations at state parks, for example, passed the Legislature with sweeping bipartisan support and had no formal opposition. Newsom, however, said the bill is unnecessary because the state has added security measures on its camping reservation website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11890615\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/GettyImages-1216832918-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB494\">SB 494\u003c/a>, a measure requiring police officers to be trained in “interpersonal communication skills and ethical science-based interviewing,” similarly sailed through the Capitol without a single “no” vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he likes the idea but doesn’t want to create a mandatory cost for police departments.
