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.",

As of Friday, more than 8,600 people in prisons had been diagnosed with COVID-19, with nearly a thousand detected in the last 14 days, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In addition, nearly 2,000 prison employees had tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> close to 4,200 detainees and 45 employees have been confirmed with COVID-19 at detention centers nationwide.

Jennings. GEO did not return a request for confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said Chhabria’s most recent order was, while very important, a “stopgap measure” because social distancing remains impossible for detainees sleeping in dorms with dozens others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people in the facility who are in a highly risky condition and who should be released,” MacLean said. “People are terrified. There are individuals who have called crying, saying, ‘I am afraid that the only way out of Mesa Verde is going to be in a body bag.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said the facility held nearly 300 people back in April, when detainees sued ICE and GEO Group.

As of Friday, more than 8,600 people in prisons had been diagnosed with COVID-19, with nearly a thousand detected in the last 14 days, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In addition, nearly 2,000 prison employees had tested positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported\u003c/a> close to 4,200 detainees and 45 employees have been confirmed with COVID-19 at detention centers nationwide. Several more workers at privately run detention facilities may also have had the coronavirus, but the agency does not include them in their tally of employees with positive COVID-19 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Mesa Verde, 14 workers at the for-profit GEO Group have tested positive, said Emi MacLean, a plaintiff attorney with the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office in the case being considered by Chhabria, Zepeda Rivas v. Jennings. GEO did not return a request for confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said Chhabria’s most recent order was, while very important, a “stopgap measure” because social distancing remains impossible for detainees sleeping in dorms with dozens others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are still people in the facility who are in a highly risky condition and who should be released,” MacLean said. “People are terrified. There are individuals who have called crying, saying, ‘I am afraid that the only way out of Mesa Verde is going to be in a body bag.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacLean said the facility held nearly 300 people back in April, when detainees sued ICE and GEO Group. Since then, Chhabria has ordered the release of about 130 individuals, while ICE let out dozens more at high risk of severe illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are apparently hundreds of staff members who still haven’t been tested, any one of which could bring the virus into the prisons.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are very concerned,” said Sophie Hart, a Prison Law Office attorney. “There are apparently hundreds of staff members who still haven’t been tested, any one of which could bring the virus into the prisons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR said it had tested an average of 90% of the staff across the 35 prisons in the system, according to the agency’s July 22 data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that average obscures the fact that some prisons have tested far below that rate. Approximately 20% of the staff had yet to be tested in a dozen prisons, while one prison had only tested 59% of their staff, according to court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR said that testing all its workers — or baseline testing — hadn’t been completed for a number of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some institutions have experienced a recent increase in retirements, and a large number of staff members have been out on long-term sick leave, pre-approved time off, or family and medical leave,” department lawyers wrote in a court filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR said it is taking steps to complete the initial testing as soon as possible and the agency is negotiating how to continuously test employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"cdcr\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Staff as the Main Vector’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>More than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\">8,500\u003c/a> incarcerated people have contracted the virus in California, and at least 50 have died. Once the virus gets inside the close confines of a prison, it spreads rapidly among people sharing cells and bathrooms and congregating in exercise yards and chow halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court-appointed federal receiver responsible for monitoring whether prisons are providing adequate health care has identified prison staff as the “main vector for spreading COVID-19 in the state prisons and has recommended that all staff at all institutions be tested for COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDCR \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11808622/gov-newsom-halts-prison-transfers-of-new-inmates-citing-coronavirus-threat\">halted intake of new felons\u003c/a> in early March, and after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827142/lawmakers-want-stronger-covid-19-protections-in-california-prisons\">disastrous transfer of inmates\u003c/a> from a prison with an active outbreak to San Quentin, strengthened its transfer protocols. But the flow of tens of thousands of staff to work and home every day continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest concern by far is staff,” said Stefano Bertozzi, dean emeritus of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. “Staff can't be quarantined every time they enter the prison.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after baseline testing of all prison staff is completed, repeat testing — or “surveillance testing” — will be critical to preventing future outbreaks of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"CDCR worked closely with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to develop a comprehensive staff-testing plan that includes ongoing testing of staff at all institutions statewide,” said CDCR press secretary Dana Simas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At prisons that provide skilled nursing care for medically vulnerable people, the CDCR says it will routinely test 25% of the staff every seven days, such that all staff get tested once a month. If there are any active cases at those facilities, staff get tested every seven days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prisons with lower-risk populations that have active cases of COVID-19 should retest all its staff every 14 days, while prisons that don’t have active cases should test 10% of its staff every 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bertozzi said that even testing every seven days may not be frequent enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seven days is a very long time,” he said. “If you turn positive on the day after testing, then you will spend most of your infectious period ... without being detected until testing comes back around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Stefano Bertozzi, UC Berkeley School of Public Health\"]'Seven days is a very long time. If you turn positive on the day after testing, then you will spend most of your infectious period ... without being detected.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The testing schedule that the CDCR plans for lower-risk prisons — 10% of staff every 14 days — will do even less to catch a case early and prevent a potential outbreak, Bertozzi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's not at all helpful unless you happen to catch somebody when they happen to be infected and are able to respond,” he said. “It means that 90% of the people, if they happen to be infected, they're not going to be removed from susceptible staff or prisoners.

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. And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Levinson, Loyola Law School\"]‘What’s gonna hurt Gov.

Gavin Newsom has moved to release thousands of state prisoners early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s decision is being criticized by criminal justice hardliners as as a threat to public safety even as advocates for prisoners say it doesn’t go far enough.

It’s a name that inevitably comes up when you talk about the intersection of politics and criminal justice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horton, a Black man, was used in Republican campaign ads to attack Democrat Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential race against George H.W. Bush. Horton, a convicted murderer, was furloughed from prison for a weekend and went on to commit rape, assault and robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the nightmare scenario for any politician, said Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What governors don’t want when we’re talking about prisoner release is the headline that says, ‘Gov. Newsom released this prisoner and then they did this egregious thing,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a progressive Democrat in a deep-blue state will consider the political tradeoffs, Levinson said. She noted that under both Newsom and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, the state only moved to cut the prison population under duress: first a court order, now a global pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s gonna hurt Gov. Newsom more? Is it a story that there was a coronavirus explosion in the prisons or is it a story that a prisoner that he released committed a heinous crime? I think it’s probably door number two, and I think that could be part of his reticence,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Leno spent 14 years in the state Legislature starting in 2002.

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. And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.
