He wears a dark blue suit jacket, a white dress shirt, and a glossy powder blue tie. On a wall behind him are two paintings; the one visible behind him seems to be an oil or acrylic portrait in blues, pinks, and yellows or a man wearing a baseball cap and jacket, with a surprised or distraught look on his face.

The November election is still a ways out, but Prop. 30 has already generated major debate, breaking old alliances in the Democratic party and making odd political bedfellows of Gov. Gavin Newsom, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.calchamber.com/\">California Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> and the conservative \u003ca href=\"https://www.hjta.org/\">Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_30,_Tax_on_Income_Above_%242_Million_for_Zero-Emissions_Vehicles_and_Wildfire_Prevention_Initiative_(2022)\">Prop. 30 would raise the state income tax by 1.75% for people who make more than $2 million dollars each year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state would spend about half of that revenue on zero-emission vehicle rebates, while some of it would be spent on chargers and infrastructure and the rest would fund firefighting and suppression programs and hiring and training firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11923634,news_11923224']Newsom, who remains popular and influential in California, went all-in against the measure this week, making himself\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/09/california-propositions-newsom/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the face of the opposition\u003c/span>\u003c/a> by starring solo in an advertisement “warning” Californians not to vote for it, calling Prop. 30 a “Trojan horse” and a “cynical scheme” by the ride-hailing giant Lyft to “to grab a huge taxpayer-funded subsidy” to pay for a fleet of electric vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after Newsom’s ad dropped, Lyft dumped an additional $10 million in support of Proposition 30. Big-money donors supporting the measure also include San Francisco venture capitalist Ron Conway and former presidential candidate Tom Steyer. But Lyft has contributed by far the most, a total of around $25 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Bay Area heavyweights from the Democratic Party (and Newsom allies) rallied in support of Prop. 30 at a kickoff event in front of Oakland’s City Hall, arguing in stark and personal terms that passing the measure is absolutely necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight air pollution from the state’s biggest offenders: cars and wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said pollution is not only killing our planet, it is killing our people and “Prop. 30 will fix that. [It] is an innovative measure that all Californians must support, as if their lives depend on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11921266']Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) grew up in the community of Foresthill, now located at the eastern flank of the monstrous Mosquito Fire, which has burned through more than 60,000 acres and into that town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The community I grew up in Foresthill is at threat of being completely wiped off the face of the Earth right now for me,” she said. “That compels me to take action and to ask everyone to take action on this really critical issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Newsom’s argument to voters: Prop. 30 is about Lyft, not climate\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“Don’t be fooled,” Newsom said in his campaign ad, reportedly the only one Newsom will personally appear in this year. “Prop. 30 is being advertised as a climate initiative but in reality it was devised by a single corporation to funnel state income taxes to benefit their company.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s ad is a huge expenditure of political capital against a proposition that would fund electrical vehicle rebates and charging infrastructure — and comes only weeks after California solidified its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11923540/california-poised-to-phase-out-sale-of-new-gas-powered-cars\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">plan to phase out the sale of gasoline-powered cars next decade\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Chronicle’s Joe Garofoli \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Newsom-s-allies-support-Prop-30-here-s-why-17439855.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported that Newsom’s traditional political enemies are loving him for starring in the ad\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it’s good politics, if you’re going to oppose Prop. 30, to paint it as a corporate bailout. But critics say it’s a cynical and disingenuous take on the measure, which was actually devised by transit and environmental justice groups such as the Bay Area \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\">nonprofit think tank SPUR\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.movela.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Move LA\u003c/span>\u003c/a> from the Los Angeles area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, those groups have pushed California to reduce its top source of greenhouse gas emissions: transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2020, they convened a bunch of California’s climate intelligentsia — including Mary Nichols, Newsom’s former top air regulator — and asked them this question: If you had $30 billion to spend fighting climate change, what would you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer: Invest in electric vehicle rebates and chargers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Build out charging infrastructure for passenger cars,” said Kevin de León, former leader of the state Senate, during that event. “The infrastructure has to be there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='forum_2010101890398' label='Electric Car Mandate']Lyft president John Zimmer did not say the governor’s name at Wednesday’s rally for Prop. 30 in Oakland, but he did push back on Newsom’s assertion that the measure was “devised” by the company he co-founded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This issue is far, far bigger than one company or a single industry,” he said. “This is about the health of our neighbors and communities. That’s why we agreed to get involved when environmental leaders approached us with their plan to reduce California emissions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year California approved a mandate for ride-hailing companies: Ninety percent of their miles logged must be with electric cars by 2030. The company has said it supports that goal but has called it unrealistic without government subsidies to support charging infrastructure, which Prop. 30 would provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimmer said Prop. 30 would help “millions of Californians finally make the transition to electric vehicles,” which would presumably include many of the company’s drivers, too. “[Electric vehicles] should be for everyone,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Californians support Prop. 1 and Prop. 27, too\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The PPIC poll also surveyed likely California voters about two other hot-button ballot measures: Proposition 1, to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution; and Proposition 27, to legalize online sports betting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11918098,news_11918631']The state Legislature placed Prop. 1 on the ballot in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion and referring the issue to the states. In the months since, Democrats in California have made it a centerpiece of their midterm campaigns, seeing it as an attractive wedge issue for the state’s swing voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC survey finds overwhelming support for the measure, with 69% of likely voters and 67% of independents planning to vote yes. Just as important for supporters hoping the measure will boost turnout in competitive congressional seats: Sixty-one percent of the electorate says the outcome of Proposition 1 is “very important.” The measure also enjoys the support of 70% of likely voters in districts deemed “competitive” by the Cook Political Report, which provides independent, nonpartisan analysis of federal and state election issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite an avalanche of campaign advertisements on both sides of Proposition 27, voters seem less invested in the outcome of that one, with just 29% naming the fate of online sports betting as “very important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gambling companies supporting the measure and the Native American tribes opposing it have raised a combined $260 million to blanket the airwaves with ads. With a month until voting begins, a majority of the electorate (54%) is opposed to allowing wagering on phones and computers, the poll found, compared to just 34% who support it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC did not ask about Proposition 26, also on the November ballot, which would legalize roulette, games of dice and sports betting in tribal casinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Guy Marzorati contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Many proposals lived to see another day. Among them: Gov. Gavin \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11919816/county-officials-are-skeptical-over-gov-newsoms-care-court-program\">Newsom’s proposal for new courts to compel more homeless individuals\u003c/a> to seek mental health and substance abuse treatment, and bills to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841120/ice-misusing-solitary-confinement-for-covid-19-quarantine-detainees-say\">strictly limit the use of solitary confinement in California jails and prisons\u003c/a>, allow for the composting of human remains and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11918450/workers-wont-get-expanded-paid-family-leave-disability-under-california-budget-agreement\"> increase family leave payments\u003c/a> for lower-wage workers, though it wouldn’t take effect until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many other closely watched bills came to an unceremonious end, killed in one of Sacramento’s most opaque lawmaking processes. They included a Republican-backed bill that would have capped copays for insulin, a California Medical Association-backed proposal making it easier for doctors to approve procedures and prescriptions without first getting permission from an insurance company, and a bill to allow prosecutors to go after social media companies for knowingly addicting children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s called the suspense file. For months, the appropriations committees, tasked with assessing the fiscal impact of any bill outside the annual budget, gather any legislation with more than a negligible price tag and put it to the side. Then twice a year, after legislative leaders decide which bills live and which die behind closed doors, they announce the results in a single hearing. In most cases, no public votes are taken and no debates are held.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In theory, this arcane procedure allows lawmakers to quickly run through the hundreds of fiscal bills they need to consider by the end of the legislative session, which arrives at the end of this month. Today, the two committees ran through more than 820 bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, it’s also a good way for Democratic lawmakers, who hold supermajority power, to kill legislation without having to take a public — and potentially politically difficult — stand. The stakes were especially high today. The legislative session ends this month and many lawmakers will either retire or be replaced before the next one begins, making this the last opportunity for some legislators to leave their mark on state policy. Politically, it’s also a tense time: The November general election is less than three months away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus, bills requiring gun owners to buy liability insurance and forcing law enforcement agencies to let the public listen to police radio transmissions were also quietly killed. Who pulled the trigger? The public often has no way to know for sure. We can only count the legislation that succumbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, more than 200 were killed, while nearly 600 stayed alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the bills that were culled — and the advocacy and interest groups that lobbied on them:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No help for diabetics\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Dead for the session: A bill by Sen. Pat Bates, a San Clemente Republican, that would have capped insulin copays at $35 per prescription per month for diabetics. With insulin list prices increasing on average 15% to 17% per year since 2012, some state and federal leaders have been pressing for action with little success. A similar effort for privately insured patients was also recently \u003ca href=\"http://washingtonpost.com/health/2022/08/08/insulin-price-cap-diabetes-senate-republicans/\">abandoned in the U.S. Senate\u003c/a>; Congress is, however, moving forward with a $35-a-month cap for Medicare patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision by Assembly Democratic leadership to hold the bill blocked meaningful relief for millions of California residents struggling to pay for the rising cost of insulin. This was a missed opportunity for the California State Legislature to accomplish what Washington D.C. failed to do,” Bates said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill was opposed by the health insurance lobby that has long argued that copay caps do nothing to bring down the actual list price of the drug and would only shift the cost in the form of higher premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters said such a bill could have provided more immediate relief to patients. California has plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11920898/to-make-insulin-affordable-california-aims-to-create-its-own-brand\">manufacture and distribute its own, more affordable insulin\u003c/a>, but that could take years. As of last week, the governor’s office said it has started a “request for information” process with drug manufacturers interested in partnering with the state. In California, 3.2 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes and many of them rely on insulin to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Ana B. Ibarra\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A mixed bag for tech regulation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Amid fervent opposition from the tech industry, lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2408\">killed a nationally watched bill\u003c/a> co-authored by Republican Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham of San Luis Obispo and Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland that would have permitted public prosecutors, such as the state attorney general and county district attorneys, to bring civil lawsuits against social media companies for deploying products or features they \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/59094/does-my-kid-have-a-tech-addiction\">know will addict kids\u003c/a>. The bill had already been amended to remove a clause that would have also allowed parents to file civil lawsuits, but that evidently wasn’t enough to overcome pushback from powerful industry players — some of whom gathered last week with influential lawmakers at a swanky Napa Valley resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cunningham, who called the bill the most important of his career, pitched it as a response to a youth mental health crisis exacerbated by social media companies conducting “an unfettered social experiment on children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cunningham said he was “extremely disappointed” that Senate Appropriations Committee Chairperson Anthony Portantino, a Glendale Democrat, made “the unilateral decision” to hold the bill and warned that “the bill’s death means that a handful of social media companies will be able to continue their experiment on millions of California kids, causing generational harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that this idea would be overwhelmingly supported if presented directly to the voters, as it would be prohibitively expensive for social media companies to take every California voter on a Tech Caucus junket in Napa,” Cunningham added in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tech companies countered there were better ways to address kids’ mental health than impinging on online platforms’ First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we’ve said from the start, protecting children online is a priority but must be done responsibly and effectively,” Dylan Hoffman, TechNet’s executive director for California and the Southwest, said in a statement. TechNet, an industry group that represents such companies as Meta (the parent of Facebook and Instagram), Apple and Google, lobbied aggressively against the bill. “We’re glad to see that this bill won’t move forward in its current form. If it had, companies would’ve been punished for simply having a platform that kids can access. It would’ve done little to improve child safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also dead: Another \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2781\">Cunningham bill\u003c/a> that would have authorized a study into whether using blockchain technology could help California’s beleaguered unemployment department verify applicant identities and prevent fraud — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11922059/why-are-california-unemployment-checks-so-hard-to-get-new-report-has-ideas\">two things it’s struggled to do\u003c/a> amid the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, other closely watched bills to regulate the tech industry advanced with amendments. They would expand kids’ privacy rights online, force social media companies to be more transparent about their terms of service, allow people targeted by violent posts online to seek an order requiring social media companies to remove them, and increase oversight of the budding cryptocurrency industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Emily Hoeven\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Pay transparency, kind of\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers in the Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced a pay transparency bill intended to root out discrimination and pay disparities — but only after stripping out its most significant provision: to require the state to post for public view businesses’ pay data, broken down by position, race and gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposal by Sen. Monique Limón a Santa Barbara Democrat, landed SB 1162 on the California Chamber of Commerce’s “job killer” list, a designation policy advocate Ashley Hoffman said the Chamber is now prepared to remove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses with 100 or more employees are required to report the data to the state under a 2020 law, but the reports are not available for the public. The bill would have required the reports be published online for businesses with 1,000 employees or more by 2025 and 250 employees or more by 2027. The Chamber and other employer groups pushed back hard against the public reporting provision, arguing the reports are too broad to show discrimination but would be “held out to the public, whether it’s a media headline or a lawsuit … as representing something it’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other parts of the bill, which proponents say will still help narrow the wage gap, survived. The bill would still require the companies also to report the pay data of their contractors, and require all employers with more than 15 workers to post the pay ranges for open positions and add state enforcement authority for businesses not reporting the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Limón said that she was “deeply disappointed” in the amendments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One day California will lead on pay equity and our actions will match our aspirations,” she said. “That day is just not today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Jeanne Kuang\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No leeway for doctors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The doctors’ lobby took an “L” on one of its priority bills for the year. Senate Bill 250 by Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat, sought to ease administrative hurdles for physicians. More specifically, the bill would have required health insurance plans to exempt certain medical providers from prior authorization rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior authorization is seen as a cost-control tool that keeps doctors from providing and charging for unnecessary care. Health insurance plans must deem certain medication and procedures as “medically necessary” before a doctor can prescribe or render services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Medical Association argued that reducing red tape would allow doctors to spend more time on patient care and less on paperwork — most importantly, it would help patients access the care and medications they need more quickly. A timely example: One Orange County pediatrician shared on Twitter this morning that one of his premature baby patients can’t access “life-saving medication” because he can’t get a hold of the patient’s insurer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health insurance plans, in opposition of the bill, argued that SB 250 could instead lead to over-prescribing and inefficient care, ultimately raising costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Ana B. Ibarra\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Student housing money in limbo\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If lawmakers have a plan to spend $1.8 billion in loans for public colleges and universities to build student housing, the public doesn’t know about it. Held on the suspense file today was a bill that would have set the rules for a revolving loan to build student housing. It’s a strange development for a spending plan that lawmakers and the governor already approved in the state budget this year. Basically, the money is there, but the rules for spending the money are not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among advocacy groups, the lone registered foe of the bill is the all-powerful State Building and Construction Trades Council. The construction union knocked the bill in June for what it said were “watered down” provisions to ensure that workers who build the campus housing are part of an apprenticeship program. But other unions whose workers are key to housing development backed the bill, including the California State Association of Electrical Workers and California State Pipe Trades Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill sought $5 billion for a revolving loan fund to build campus housing for students and staff. The budget deal approved over the summer would commit a smaller amount, $1.8 billion, for that purpose starting in the 2023-24 fiscal year.

Many proposals lived to see another day. Among them: Gov. Gavin \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11919816/county-officials-are-skeptical-over-gov-newsoms-care-court-program\">Newsom’s proposal for new courts to compel more homeless individuals\u003c/a> to seek mental health and substance abuse treatment, and bills to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841120/ice-misusing-solitary-confinement-for-covid-19-quarantine-detainees-say\">strictly limit the use of solitary confinement in California jails and prisons\u003c/a>, allow for the composting of human remains and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11918450/workers-wont-get-expanded-paid-family-leave-disability-under-california-budget-agreement\"> increase family leave payments\u003c/a> for lower-wage workers, though it wouldn’t take effect until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many other closely watched bills came to an unceremonious end, killed in one of Sacramento’s most opaque lawmaking processes. They included a Republican-backed bill that would have capped copays for insulin, a California Medical Association-backed proposal making it easier for doctors to approve procedures and prescriptions without first getting permission from an insurance company, and a bill to allow prosecutors to go after social media companies for knowingly addicting children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s called the suspense file. For months, the appropriations committees, tasked with assessing the fiscal impact of any bill outside the annual budget, gather any legislation with more than a negligible price tag and put it to the side. Then twice a year, after legislative leaders decide which bills live and which die behind closed doors, they announce the results in a single hearing. In most cases, no public votes are taken and no debates are held.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Today, the two committees ran through more than 820 bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, it’s also a good way for Democratic lawmakers, who hold supermajority power, to kill legislation without having to take a public — and potentially politically difficult — stand. The stakes were especially high today. The legislative session ends this month and many lawmakers will either retire or be replaced before the next one begins, making this the last opportunity for some legislators to leave their mark on state policy. Politically, it’s also a tense time: The November general election is less than three months away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus, bills requiring gun owners to buy liability insurance and forcing law enforcement agencies to let the public listen to police radio transmissions were also quietly killed. Who pulled the trigger? The public often has no way to know for sure. We can only count the legislation that succumbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, more than 200 were killed, while nearly 600 stayed alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the bills that were culled — and the advocacy and interest groups that lobbied on them:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No help for diabetics\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Dead for the session: A bill by Sen. Pat Bates, a San Clemente Republican, that would have capped insulin copays at $35 per prescription per month for diabetics. With insulin list prices increasing on average 15% to 17% per year since 2012, some state and federal leaders have been pressing for action with little success. A similar effort for privately insured patients was also recently \u003ca href=\"http://washingtonpost.com/health/2022/08/08/insulin-price-cap-diabetes-senate-republicans/\">abandoned in the U.S. Senate\u003c/a>; Congress is, however, moving forward with a $35-a-month cap for Medicare patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision by Assembly Democratic leadership to hold the bill blocked meaningful relief for millions of California residents struggling to pay for the rising cost of insulin. This was a missed opportunity for the California State Legislature to accomplish what Washington D.C. failed to do,” Bates said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill was opposed by the health insurance lobby that has long argued that copay caps do nothing to bring down the actual list price of the drug and would only shift the cost in the form of higher premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters said such a bill could have provided more immediate relief to patients. California has plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11920898/to-make-insulin-affordable-california-aims-to-create-its-own-brand\">manufacture and distribute its own, more affordable insulin\u003c/a>, but that could take years. As of last week, the governor’s office said it has started a “request for information” process with drug manufacturers interested in partnering with the state. In California, 3.2 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes and many of them rely on insulin to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Ana B. Ibarra\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A mixed bag for tech regulation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Amid fervent opposition from the tech industry, lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2408\">killed a nationally watched bill\u003c/a> co-authored by Republican Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham of San Luis Obispo and Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks of Oakland that would have permitted public prosecutors, such as the state attorney general and county district attorneys, to bring civil lawsuits against social media companies for deploying products or features they \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/59094/does-my-kid-have-a-tech-addiction\">know will addict kids\u003c/a>. The bill had already been amended to remove a clause that would have also allowed parents to file civil lawsuits, but that evidently wasn’t enough to overcome pushback from powerful industry players — some of whom gathered last week with influential lawmakers at a swanky Napa Valley resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cunningham, who called the bill the most important of his career, pitched it as a response to a youth mental health crisis exacerbated by social media companies conducting “an unfettered social experiment on children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cunningham said he was “extremely disappointed” that Senate Appropriations Committee Chairperson Anthony Portantino, a Glendale Democrat, made “the unilateral decision” to hold the bill and warned that “the bill’s death means that a handful of social media companies will be able to continue their experiment on millions of California kids, causing generational harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that this idea would be overwhelmingly supported if presented directly to the voters, as it would be prohibitively expensive for social media companies to take every California voter on a Tech Caucus junket in Napa,” Cunningham added in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tech companies countered there were better ways to address kids’ mental health than impinging on online platforms’ First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we’ve said from the start, protecting children online is a priority but must be done responsibly and effectively,” Dylan Hoffman, TechNet’s executive director for California and the Southwest, said in a statement. TechNet, an industry group that represents such companies as Meta (the parent of Facebook and Instagram), Apple and Google, lobbied aggressively against the bill. “We’re glad to see that this bill won’t move forward in its current form. If it had, companies would’ve been punished for simply having a platform that kids can access. It would’ve done little to improve child safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also dead: Another \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2781\">Cunningham bill\u003c/a> that would have authorized a study into whether using blockchain technology could help California’s beleaguered unemployment department verify applicant identities and prevent fraud — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11922059/why-are-california-unemployment-checks-so-hard-to-get-new-report-has-ideas\">two things it’s struggled to do\u003c/a> amid the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, other closely watched bills to regulate the tech industry advanced with amendments. They would expand kids’ privacy rights online, force social media companies to be more transparent about their terms of service, allow people targeted by violent posts online to seek an order requiring social media companies to remove them, and increase oversight of the budding cryptocurrency industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Emily Hoeven\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Pay transparency, kind of\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers in the Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced a pay transparency bill intended to root out discrimination and pay disparities — but only after stripping out its most significant provision: to require the state to post for public view businesses’ pay data, broken down by position, race and gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposal by Sen. Monique Limón a Santa Barbara Democrat, landed SB 1162 on the California Chamber of Commerce’s “job killer” list, a designation policy advocate Ashley Hoffman said the Chamber is now prepared to remove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses with 100 or more employees are required to report the data to the state under a 2020 law, but the reports are not available for the public. The bill would have required the reports be published online for businesses with 1,000 employees or more by 2025 and 250 employees or more by 2027. The Chamber and other employer groups pushed back hard against the public reporting provision, arguing the reports are too broad to show discrimination but would be “held out to the public, whether it’s a media headline or a lawsuit … as representing something it’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other parts of the bill, which proponents say will still help narrow the wage gap, survived. The bill would still require the companies also to report the pay data of their contractors, and require all employers with more than 15 workers to post the pay ranges for open positions and add state enforcement authority for businesses not reporting the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Limón said that she was “deeply disappointed” in the amendments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One day California will lead on pay equity and our actions will match our aspirations,” she said. “That day is just not today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Jeanne Kuang\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>No leeway for doctors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The doctors’ lobby took an “L” on one of its priority bills for the year. Senate Bill 250 by Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat, sought to ease administrative hurdles for physicians. More specifically, the bill would have required health insurance plans to exempt certain medical providers from prior authorization rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior authorization is seen as a cost-control tool that keeps doctors from providing and charging for unnecessary care. Health insurance plans must deem certain medication and procedures as “medically necessary” before a doctor can prescribe or render services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Medical Association argued that reducing red tape would allow doctors to spend more time on patient care and less on paperwork — most importantly, it would help patients access the care and medications they need more quickly. A timely example: One Orange County pediatrician shared on Twitter this morning that one of his premature baby patients can’t access “life-saving medication” because he can’t get a hold of the patient’s insurer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health insurance plans, in opposition of the bill, argued that SB 250 could instead lead to over-prescribing and inefficient care, ultimately raising costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Ana B. Ibarra\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Student housing money in limbo\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If lawmakers have a plan to spend $1.8 billion in loans for public colleges and universities to build student housing, the public doesn’t know about it. Held on the suspense file today was a bill that would have set the rules for a revolving loan to build student housing. It’s a strange development for a spending plan that lawmakers and the governor already approved in the state budget this year. Basically, the money is there, but the rules for spending the money are not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among advocacy groups, the lone registered foe of the bill is the all-powerful State Building and Construction Trades Council. The construction union knocked the bill in June for what it said were “watered down” provisions to ensure that workers who build the campus housing are part of an apprenticeship program. But other unions whose workers are key to housing development backed the bill, including the California State Association of Electrical Workers and California State Pipe Trades Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill sought $5 billion for a revolving loan fund to build campus housing for students and staff. The budget deal approved over the summer would commit a smaller amount, $1.8 billion, for that purpose starting in the 2023-24 fiscal year. Either way, the idea is that the state lends campuses money to build housing, and as they pay back the loans over time, the state replenishes its campus housing reserves to lend out additional dollars. The loan fund would add to the several billion dollars in grants lawmakers have already committed to building student housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s author, Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat from Sacramento, said “we still need some further clarification on how it’s actually implemented in next year’s budget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What that language will look like is unknown. Portantino’s office and the leadership of the Senate and Assembly didn’t respond to emails from CalMatters seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Mikhail Zinshteyn\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Police radios can stay silent to the public\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If they’re willing to wade through the crackly radio and police patois, reporters assigned to the newsroom scanner will hear about unexplained booms, cats lost, lawn equipment missing, kitchens smoking and shots fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is, unless they’re in parts of the Bay Area and Inland Empire, where some police departments and sheriff’s offices encrypt radio communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen.

Gavin Newsom appointed Bonta attorney general last year, after Xavier Becerra vacated the post to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As a longtime Oakland assemblymember, Bonta embraced the criminal justice reforms backed by voters over the past two decades, and even authored a\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11687917/california-assembly-approves-bail-reform-over-opposition-from-civil-rights-groups\"> bail reform law\u003c/a>, which was ultimately \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11845036/voters-reject-proposition-25-preserving-cash-bail-in-california\">overturned by voters\u003c/a> in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta has the backing of the Democratic Party and virtually every elected Democratic official in California. But in a year where voters are anxious about crime rates and Democrats have been on the defensive on criminal justice reform, he enters the general election campaign more vulnerable than he’d like. That’s one of the reasons his allies worked so hard to box Schubert out of the race, viewing her No Party Preference affiliation as a threat in the general election, in a state where there are nearly as many No Party Preference voters (5 million) as Republicans (5.2 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I think the statewide results are really encouraging,” Soto DeBerry said. “In San Francisco, on the same ballot where people said we’re \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11916212/chesa-boudin-recall-sf-voters-on-track-to-oust-district-attorney\">going to make a change\u003c/a> in our district attorney, they voted overwhelmingly for the attorney general that has espoused very strong reform credentials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with the contest now set between the two major political parties, Bonta is likely breathing easier, as there are more than 10 million registered Democrats in the state, and no Republican has won statewide office since 2006.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The attorney general absolutely can support our Second Amendment right, which is what I do,” he said, without citing any specific state gun restrictions he was particularly concerned with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, the attorney general’s office has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-10/california-attorney-general-appeal-supporting-assault-weapon-ban\">in constant litigation\u003c/a> defending the state’s restrictive gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Early is encouraging voters to cast their ballots for him in any format allowed — including by mail — he also said he has questions about the integrity of the state’s entire voting system, opposes universal vote-by-mail rules, and questions the security of electronic voting machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I get this job for attorney general, I will investigate our election apparatus,” he said, echoing a pledge made by pro-Trump candidates nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those ties to Trumpism make Early look like an easy target for Democrats in a state that overwhelmingly elected President Biden — groups backing Bonta have gone so far as to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Why-backers-of-Democratic-Attorney-General-Rob-17163311.php\">run ads promoting Early\u003c/a> in the hopes that he will be the easiest of the three candidates to beat in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nathan Hochman: ‘The hard middle’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11915624\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1050px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11915624\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4.jpeg\" alt=\"A man stands at a podium and speaks into a microphone.\" width=\"1050\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4.jpeg 1050w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4-800x643.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4-1020x820.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/hochman4-160x129.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California attorney general candidate Nathan Hochman speaks in May to a Republican women’s group in Southern California. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Nathan Hochman campaign)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nathan Hochman says he may be a Republican and a former federal prosecutor, but hopes voters won’t pigeonhole him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My message is bipartisan.

He notes he’s the only candidate who has been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney; he also served on the Los Angeles Ethics Commission for five years, including as its president for one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hochman, for example, says he doesn’t think everyone needs to be locked up and that California should invest in alternatives to incarceration, including diversion programs, home detention and community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Bonta’s other challengers, Hochman cites public safety as his top issue and is critical of major criminal justice reforms, including Proposition 47. He also says he wants to use existing laws to prosecute fentanyl dealers and crack down on human trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he says California should invest in both a strong police force and law enforcement alternatives, rather than prioritizing just one.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Nathan Hochman, candidate for attorney general\"]‘My message is bipartisan.

If I wanted to make the laws, I’d run for a different position.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Hochman pledges he would use the full power of the attorney general’s 4,500 lawyers to pursue both criminal and civil cases that matter to Californians — including investigating how fraudsters\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11893715/californias-unemployment-fraud-balloons-to-20-billion\"> bilked an estimated $20 billion in unemployment payments out of the state EDD\u003c/a>, and whether anyone in state government should be held accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there’s already a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article256487486.html\">special counsel at the EDD\u003c/a> doing just that, as well as multiple investigations at the state and federal levels, Hochman argues the attorney general should be investigating as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would hold responsible the people who either fraudulently, corruptly or negligently allowed $25 billion [sic] to go out the door in a completely criminal way.

Elected district attorney there in 2014, she made headlines for helping\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11664637/suspected-golden-state-killer-a-former-police-officer-arrested-in-sacramento\"> crack the decades-old Golden State Killer case\u003c/a> using forensic DNA and genealogy databases; she also got heat in 2019 when she declined to charge two police officers who shot Stephon Clark to death in his grandmother’s backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert cites violent crime as a top priority, pledging to advocate in the Legislature for more money for law enforcement and longer criminal sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, as attorney general, she would intervene in counties where she feels district attorneys aren’t being tough enough — by filing charges herself. San Francisco and Los Angeles are among the cities she has singled out, both of which have progressive district attorneys who are facing recalls and whom she has frequently targeted.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Anne Marie Schubert, candidate for attorney general\"]‘I believe very much in public safety and victims’ rights.

It’s the issue of violent crime and illegal guns. So, you know, Day One or Week One or Month One … [the job] I think is to get control of violent crime. And that means working on your relationships across California with law enforcement, which I have already,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert is an outspoken critic of many of the state’s recent criminal justice reforms — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11114572/jerry-brown-pushes-earlier-release-of-felons-under-proposition-57\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, a 2016 measure that offers shorter sentences to some prisoners who participate in rehabilitation programs. As attorney general, Schubert says she would help lead the push to change those types of laws. In the shorter term, she says, partnering with — and better funding — police agencies is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert also says the state needs to do a better job making sure programs aimed at helping criminal offenders actually work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not just rehabilitation within the prison walls, but the reentry plans, the supervision that’s necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schubert says she is pro-abortion rights and will defend the “constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion,” as well as all other state laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply disturbed and, quite frankly, shocked that our [U.S.] Supreme Court would overrule 50 years of legal precedent,” she said in a written statement, in response to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473\">recent leak of a draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, the concept that some states would criminalize a woman’s decision to seek an abortion is outrageous to me,” she added. “As a career prosecutor, I’ve had cases where women and children were raped and impregnated by their rapist. It’s reprehensible that some states want to ban a woman’s right to choose even under these acts of violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on another hot-button issue — gun control — Schubert says the state needs more enforcement of existing laws, not new limits on guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get that there’s people like Rob Bonta that want to pass more gun control, more gun control, more gun control,” she said. “This is a crime-control issue. This is about taking that gun out of the hands of convicted felons and the prohibited person that shouldn’t have it.”[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

What is it exactly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> The replacement theory is a conspiracy theory that has emerged from the defeated swamps of neo-Nazis and white supremacists which says that the Jews are the head of an international cabal that is using Black folks, brown folks and immigrants to replace and weaken Western civilization. They believe there’s a natural order and that white, straight men are at the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s called a theory — replacement “theory” — but what we’re seeing is that it’s morphed into an ideology.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> It’s always been an ideology, right? It’s one of those things that existed once on the fringe. It’s always been here in a way. You just have to be a student of American history.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Otis R. Taylor Jr., managing editor, KQED News\"]‘California isn’t immune. California, since its inception, has been adversarial against people of color, particularly Asian people and Black people. So when we see what happens in Buffalo, we can’t think that that can’t happen here.’[/pullquote]What’s terrifying now is that a literal white supremacist conspiracy theory that once existed only on the fringes is now being promoted by GOP elected officials like Elise Stefanik (R-New York), the No. 3-ranking Republican, and nightly on Tucker Carlson’s highly rated [Fox News] show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I’m hearing a lot of echoes in what Wajahat is saying in things that you [Otis R. Taylor Jr.] have said about progress being met with backlash. I know that you have been analyzing that backlash and extremism in California rearing its ugly head. Can you talk a little bit about that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just this morning [Monday], my colleagues Alex Hall and Julie Small released \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11913965/plot-to-blow-up-democratic-headquarters-exposed-california-extremists-hiding-in-plain-sight\">a story about two extremists that plotted to blow up a Sacramento building\u003c/a>, actually Democratic headquarters. Now, the language that they used is consistent with this ideology that has infected white men, not just in the last few years, but throughout history. As was said, once there is progress, there is this backlash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California isn’t immune. California, since its inception, has been adversarial against people of color, particularly Asian people and Black people. So when we see what happens in Buffalo, we can’t think that that can’t happen here. What that tells me is that this idea that was once on the fringe is mainstream and it’s crisscrossing the country and more and more people will be impacted by that violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And just to underscore that this is in California: One of the killings that’s being brought up was the [2019] \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/us/synagogue-shooting.html\">attack on the Poway synagogue\u003c/a> and how the 19-year-old gunman there also posted this racist screed full of antisemitic and racist statements about the European race needing to be protected. I mean, we see it here, we’ve seen it in Charlottesville [Virginia], in Charleston [South Carolina], and in El Paso [Texas]. We’re at a point where people are feeling incredibly inundated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> Oftentimes we live in our own silos and we say, “We’re overwhelmed. That’s [someone else’s] issue.” But white supremacy is coming after all of us. Like you mentioned, this replacement theory has been the radicalizing ideology that inspired mass shooters in New Zealand and El Paso, Texas, and now Buffalo, New York. They all copycat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group that also gets attacked — and it’s important for people to know — is white people. White people who do not subscribe to this ideology or white people who are allies [to people of color] are seen as race traitors, and in American history, they were also seen as targets who were killed and shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a national security threat. It is the No. 1 domestic terror threat in America. This is global terrorism against people of color, immigrants and anyone [who white supremacists] see as a threat to their vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Liz_Cheney/status/1526159124840558592?s=20&t=IX9w8pjhLFvVBvZJfqiV2g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you saying that regional differences really don’t matter, especially given the fact that so much of this is on our global internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> Well, yeah, exactly. I’ll give you a very quick example: This terrorist who shot and killed 10 people in Buffalo was inspired by a terrorist who shot and killed more than 50 Muslims \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/new-zealand-mosque-shootings\">in Christchurch, New Zealand\u003c/a>. That terrorist was inspired by [the man] who killed more than 80 people in Norway. This is an international, globalized network of hate that is radicalizing individuals to commit terror against people of color. It is an international terrorist network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who are the people that put this hate speech into action? What are the data showing you? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TERESA DRENICK: \u003c/strong>The data is showing that throughout the United States, we are seeing just an incredible rise and proliferation of white supremacist propaganda. In fact, the Anti-Defamation League issued our most recent study that shows propaganda distribution remains at historic levels across the entire country in 2021. We reported over 4,800 cases of racist, antisemitic and other hateful messages that proliferate throughout the internet, throughout banners, flyer drops, stickers that we see put up on campuses, in neighborhoods. And, you know, we’re not seeing an end to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does the internet influence people’s determination to commit these acts?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TERESA DRENICK: \u003c/strong>Given the rise of social media and the ease with which messaging can be sent instantaneously throughout the cyberspace, these specific regional white supremacist and hate groups are operating everywhere all the time and influencing young people, influencing people who are going to these websites. And it’s a new phenomenon and it’s a growing phenomenon that we’re seeing.[aside postID=\"news_11914556\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/RS56089_025_KQED_BuffaloSolidarityVigil_05182022-qut-1020x679.jpg\"]\u003cb>Otis, you have been dismayed at the extent to which this has proliferated and how little has been done to stop it on the social media platforms where these conspiracies often circulate.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just to underscore how much a problem this is, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a unit in January to investigate domestic terrorism. This problem has been able to proliferate because of the easy access to connecting with people through social media. Take, for example, what happened in Buffalo. It was livestreamed. That is intentional, not only to spread fear, but also to encourage others to participate in these kinds of acts of premeditated violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, the platform Twitch says they took [the video] down within two minutes. But that video is readily accessible on any number of platforms right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is about white fear and what happens when that fear reaches a boiling point. People act out and there’s people who will pay the consequences of that fear. In fact, we have an entire party that is based on how to escalate that fear: how can they tap into that fear so they can win elections, not to help people, but just to spread more fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So let’s talk about that proliferation. Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don’t take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She’s finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they’re being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: “They’re the ones taking our job.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Teresa Drenick, deputy director, Anti-Defamation League's Central Pacific Region\"]‘The data is showing that throughout the United States, we are seeing just an incredible rise and proliferation of white supremacist propaganda.’[/pullquote]It’s what we saw Donald Trump do with this just open bigotry: “We need a Muslim ban,” and, “The invaders are coming.” And right when he said that, right before the 2018 midterm elections, that same language was used as rationalization to \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting-portraits-11-victims/story?id=58823835\">attack the Tree of Life Synagogue\u003c/a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and killed 11 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, why do I say the Republican Party is responsible? Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can’t even condemn the replacement theory, if you can’t even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven’t condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What’s different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it’s, “Hey, I’m just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I’m questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there’s the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that’s different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They’re coming for your jobs. They’re coming for your family. They’re coming for our white women. They’re coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I’ve never met anyone. Even the KKK weren’t racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, “We’re not racist. We’re just trying to defend the white race, we’re just trying to defend the white people. That’s all. We’re fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.” Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there’s a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I’m just asking questions. Can’t we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Wajahat Ali, writer\"]‘I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? … Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.’[/pullquote]By doing this repeatedly, you move over to the window of … what [once] was considered forbidden that is now considered acceptable discourse. Then the second thing they do is, “Well, we’re just kidding. Well, we’re just joking.” Or, “We’re not just journalists. We’re not reporters. We’re just entertainers. We’re just joking. These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they’re actually doing. “It’s actually you, the left, that’s radical. It’s actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That’s your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I’m calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That’s the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that’s how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters. And this is how you normalize hate. It’s happening right before our eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what can we do about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we’re seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it’s 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I’m nobody and I’m not on TV like you. And what can I do? I’m overwhelmed. There’s so many problems.” And I always say, “I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I’m a nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone’s overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what’s happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There’s no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don’t show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you’re a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You’ll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn’t have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don’t vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don’t be on the sidelines. Don’t choose apathy. Don’t choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Now, the language that they used is consistent with this ideology that has infected white men, not just in the last few years, but throughout history. As was said, once there is progress, there is this backlash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California isn’t immune. California, since its inception, has been adversarial against people of color, particularly Asian people and Black people. So when we see what happens in Buffalo, we can’t think that that can’t happen here. What that tells me is that this idea that was once on the fringe is mainstream and it’s crisscrossing the country and more and more people will be impacted by that violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And just to underscore that this is in California: One of the killings that’s being brought up was the [2019] \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/us/synagogue-shooting.html\">attack on the Poway synagogue\u003c/a> and how the 19-year-old gunman there also posted this racist screed full of antisemitic and racist statements about the European race needing to be protected. I mean, we see it here, we’ve seen it in Charlottesville [Virginia], in Charleston [South Carolina], and in El Paso [Texas]. We’re at a point where people are feeling incredibly inundated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> Oftentimes we live in our own silos and we say, “We’re overwhelmed. That’s [someone else’s] issue.” But white supremacy is coming after all of us. Like you mentioned, this replacement theory has been the radicalizing ideology that inspired mass shooters in New Zealand and El Paso, Texas, and now Buffalo, New York. They all copycat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group that also gets attacked — and it’s important for people to know — is white people. White people who do not subscribe to this ideology or white people who are allies [to people of color] are seen as race traitors, and in American history, they were also seen as targets who were killed and shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a national security threat. It is the No. 1 domestic terror threat in America. This is global terrorism against people of color, immigrants and anyone [who white supremacists] see as a threat to their vision.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just to underscore how much a problem this is, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a unit in January to investigate domestic terrorism. This problem has been able to proliferate because of the easy access to connecting with people through social media. Take, for example, what happened in Buffalo. It was livestreamed. That is intentional, not only to spread fear, but also to encourage others to participate in these kinds of acts of premeditated violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, the platform Twitch says they took [the video] down within two minutes. But that video is readily accessible on any number of platforms right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is about white fear and what happens when that fear reaches a boiling point. People act out and there’s people who will pay the consequences of that fear. In fact, we have an entire party that is based on how to escalate that fear: how can they tap into that fear so they can win elections, not to help people, but just to spread more fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So let’s talk about that proliferation. Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don’t take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She’s finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they’re being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: “They’re the ones taking our job.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can’t even condemn the replacement theory, if you can’t even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven’t condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What’s different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it’s, “Hey, I’m just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I’m questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there’s the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that’s different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They’re coming for your jobs. They’re coming for your family. They’re coming for our white women. They’re coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I’ve never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I’ve never met anyone. Even the KKK weren’t racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, “We’re not racist. We’re just trying to defend the white race, we’re just trying to defend the white people. That’s all. We’re fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.” Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it’s impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there’s a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I’m just asking questions. Can’t we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they’re actually doing. “It’s actually you, the left, that’s radical. It’s actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That’s your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I’m calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That’s the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that’s how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters.

TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we’re seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it’s 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I’m nobody and I’m not on TV like you. And what can I do? I’m overwhelmed. There’s so many problems.” And I always say, “I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I’m a nobody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone’s overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what’s happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There’s no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don’t show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you’re a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You’ll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn’t have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don’t vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don’t be on the sidelines. Don’t choose apathy. Don’t choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
