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.",

If you’re going to do drugs, test them first so you can have some informed consent before you ingest, and then you can make a plan,” said \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2021/07/06/fentanyl-test-fentcheck-will-make-drug-use-safer/\">Alison Heller\u003c/a>, an Oakland resident who launched the project last year after months of extensive community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heller said people who occasionally use party drugs like ecstasy or ketamine “don’t think this applies to them. Fentanyl feels to them very much like a heroin issue or cocaine issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those occasional users are especially vulnerable to unknowingly consuming fentanyl, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although fentanyl testing strips are usually available at harm-reduction clinics, not everybody knows about those sites, or feels comfortable going to them, Heller added. Providing them at clubs, bars and other nighttime venues, she said, is a way of offering them “where the community goes, and destigmatizing the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heller said she hopes making test strips easily accessible in social venues will have as much of a positive impact as did offering condoms in bars during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Condoms do] not incentivize having sex in the bar bathroom, nor do fentanyl tests incentivize drug use in the venue,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cb>Available resources\u003c/b>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"help\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Where can you find testing strips in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The following is a list of some of the establishments that offer fentanyl testing strips through FentCheck.

Very constricted pupils in someone’s eyes — known as “pinpoint pupils” — that don’t expand when exposed to light also are a common sign of an overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman’s district covers the entire northern coastline, from Marin County to the state’s border with Oregon. Huffman, D-San Rafael, serves as chair of the House Water, Oceans and Wildlife Subcommittee, where he has focused on combating climate change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guest:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.
