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.",

Bill Clinton was president and Republican Pete Wilson was governor. Two years earlier, led by Democrats, Congress had passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/6/20/18677998/joe-biden-1994-crime-bill-law-mass-incarceration\">national crime bill\u003c/a>, while California voters overwhelmingly approved the state’s draconian \u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/20142.htm#:~:text=California's%20Three%20Strikes%20sentencing%20law%20was%20originally%20enacted%20in%201994,otherwise%20provided%20for%20the%20crime\">three-strikes law\u003c/a> a few months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a movement that crossed party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found myself standing before a judge … where I was being sentenced and tried as an adult and basically told that I was gonna go to prison for the rest of my life,” Mendoza recalled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(I was) called the super predator, a monster, a kid who was never going to succeed … At that age, I couldn’t fathom or understand why I was being thrown away.

At the time she co-founded the Community Coalition aimed at fighting addiction, crime and poverty in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Barbara Lee, a fellow California Democrat, says she remembers meeting Bass in the ’90s. Lee was in the state Assembly and Bass was lobbying for liquor store regulations to keep kids from buying alcohol. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was really a community organizer,” Lee said. “But she also knew how to strategically work within the system, within the legislative body to get a bill passed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass describes feeling like she needed to create spaces where she could lead and train people to follow in her footsteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in working in a very collaborative, collective work style, which means that it’s team-driven,” Bass said in an interview with NPR. “It’s never personality-driven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11827099 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43850_GettyImages-1252407708-qut-1020x680.jpg']Democrats say Bass’ style may not have made her a household name but it has made her well-liked among Democrats on Capitol Hill, particularly after she took charge on the policing bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleagues privately acknowledge that her low profile is a drawback when it comes to being vetted for vice president because Bass isn’t a national figure. They say she hasn’t been publicly tested yet for that kind of job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her background in activism and social justice makes her a logical fit for Biden’s list as the country grapples with racial inequality in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. James Clyburn, D-South Carolina, a former Congressional Black Caucus chair and the third-ranking Democrat in the House, says Bass is known for being in constant contact. He says she keeps members in the loop and they feel like they’re a part of every move the group makes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She doesn’t mind leading by example,” Clyburn said in an interview. “A lot of people will lead by precepts, but Karen provides examples for people to follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her activism in Los Angeles made her a clear candidate when a California State Assembly seat opened up. From there she became the first Black woman to lead a state assembly as speaker and was elected to Congress in 2011. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She rapidly rose in influence among members of the Congressional Black Caucus and was elected to lead the group in 2018. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass was elevated to the national stage last month when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tasked her with writing the police reform bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are blessed to be led by the CBC chair, Karen Bass, who brings 47 years advocating for racial justice and an end to police brutality,” Pelosi said at an event unveiling the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressives, moderates and leadership allies say her collaborative approach made people feel included and prepared despite a lightning-quick process of drafting the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass already had a sense of which members had policing legislation ready to go and quickly knit together a bill that banned chokeholds, created a national registry of police misconduct, and ended special legal immunity for police. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unusual for legislation to come together as rapidly as the George Floyd Justice in Policing bill. Members and staff involved describe a process in which Bass and her staff kept major ideological caucuses within the party apprised from the beginning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was very effective in putting this together very quickly because people trusted her,” Lee said. “She organized everything in a way that allowed her to move expeditiously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police reform process helped Bass develop new allies on Capitol Hill — relationships that could be important in the vetting process for vice president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Police Reform' tag='police-reform']The surge of attention on social and racial justice has created a unique moment for Democrats. At least three Black women in Congress — Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, Rep. Val Demings, D-Florida, and Bass — are rumored to be on Biden’s list. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bass says any attempt to frame this as a competition or a cutthroat showdown are unfair and reductive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Clyburn said it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Black women in Congress make up such a large share of the vice presidential contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The party is supposed to guarantee opportunity,” Clyburn said. “And this party has guaranteed opportunity for women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Castro Comment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clyburn, who is personally close with Biden, says the decision now will come down to vetting, polling and focus groups that will parse every statement and comment a contender has made, every group or ally they may have upset or offended. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Bass, the remark already raising eyebrows was a statement she released in 2016 that called former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro “\u003cem>Comandante en jefe\u003c/em>” after his death. That led to a dust-up with Florida Democrats who said she appeared to support the dictator in that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass has since walked that statement back, but critics say it points to a blind spot in her background and her lack of a deep understanding of foreign policy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spoke to my colleagues from the Florida area, and they certainly shared with me the difficulty of how I referenced Castro,” Bass said. “And so I will definitely keep that in mind in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass wouldn’t say if she’s campaigning for vice president. Democrats say one benefit of the vice presidential search is that it is elevating female leaders like Bass to the national stage, which could be helpful for her future in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She understands the moment that we’re in,” Lee said. “And that we must seize the time on behalf of, not just our communities, communities of color, but for the entire country.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Kamala Harris, D-California, Rep. Val Demings, D-Florida, and Bass — are rumored to be on Biden’s list. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bass says any attempt to frame this as a competition or a cutthroat showdown are unfair and reductive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Clyburn said it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Black women in Congress make up such a large share of the vice presidential contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The party is supposed to guarantee opportunity,” Clyburn said. “And this party has guaranteed opportunity for women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Castro Comment\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clyburn, who is personally close with Biden, says the decision now will come down to vetting, polling and focus groups that will parse every statement and comment a contender has made, every group or ally they may have upset or offended. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Bass, the remark already raising eyebrows was a statement she released in 2016 that called former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro “\u003cem>Comandante en jefe\u003c/em>” after his death. That led to a dust-up with Florida Democrats who said she appeared to support the dictator in that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass has since walked that statement back, but critics say it points to a blind spot in her background and her lack of a deep understanding of foreign policy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spoke to my colleagues from the Florida area, and they certainly shared with me the difficulty of how I referenced Castro,” Bass said. “And so I will definitely keep that in mind in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bass wouldn’t say if she’s campaigning for vice president. Democrats say one benefit of the vice presidential search is that it is elevating female leaders like Bass to the national stage, which could be helpful for her future in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She understands the moment that we’re in,” Lee said. “And that we must seize the time on behalf of, not just our communities, communities of color, but for the entire country.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.
