"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

The Newsom administration expects the first vaccine deadline for grades 7-12 to be July 1, 2022, or possibly earlier. The COVID-19 vaccine has so far \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine\">only been fully approved by the FDA for those 16 and over\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mandate, however, allows for personal belief exemptions. This means students and staff could opt out of the COVID-19 vaccine for religious or ideological reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process for personal belief exemptions for vaccinations varies across the country for students and employees, according to Dorit Reiss, a UC Hastings law professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some just ask to check a box on a form,” she said. “Others have a different process like submitting a letter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan has long worked to strengthen vaccine rules for students.

We were thinking, why have a fight that doesn’t really matter?” Pan said. “The laws that we wrote for school mandates were not written with pandemics in mind. That’s why that provision is in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan says he’ll consider authoring legislation that would eliminate the exemption if COVID-19 cases spike across the state or if districts report a high number of students and staff who abuse this provision to avoid the vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A possible bill, Pan said, would require the COVID vaccine to be treated like the 10 required inoculations that don’t allow for a personal belief exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem with the personal belief exemption is that if there are too many people who use it, we’ll have schools that are unsafe,” he said. “We need to be sure kids can stay in school and learn and not have to be sent home for two weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement in support of the mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The eradication of smallpox and polio, as well as prevention of meningitis, measles and whooping cough, show that vaccines work,” said chapter Chair Yasuko Fukuda. “New vaccines are developed and evaluated by a long-standing rigorous process to ensure effectiveness and safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Martin, executive director of the California Immunization Coalition, a public-health advocacy group, said she understands the concerns of the parents who are hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine, but agrees that the personal belief exemption should be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The No. 1 reason to eliminate the personal belief exemption is to be consistent,” Martin said. “This vaccine is no riskier than any other vaccine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said her organization will spend the coming months supporting pediatricians and school administrators as they explain the benefits and risks of the COVID-19 vaccine to students and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Parents are suffering because they really are scared,” she said. “Doctors are really going to need to up their game in terms of taking time and answering their questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Martin has less sympathy for teachers and school staff who refuse to get vaccinated for political reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re not believing in the science or if it’s a political belief, perhaps they need to find other work,” she said. “Perhaps this is going to weed out folks who don’t believe in the science.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association President E. Toby Boyd released a statement last week supporting the vaccine mandate for students, saying the vast majority of teachers have already been fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While recognizing the need for medical and religious exemptions, we believe vaccinations are key for both student and educator safety, keeping our schools open for in-person instruction and for combating this pandemic,” Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CTA Spokesperson Lisa Gardiner declined to comment on whether the union would support the elimination of the personal belief exemption if legislators were to propose a bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McFadden, from the Nevada Joint Union High School District, expects that most of his employees, even those opposing the mandate, will eventually get their vaccines so they can keep their jobs. He said when \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2021/08/california-teacher-vaccines-mandate-newsom/\">the governor issued a previous mandate requiring teachers to be vaccinated\u003c/a> or undergo regular testing, many teachers complained, but most came around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said, ‘I don’t want to do this,’ but then they realized they have to pay the rent,” he said. “I might have five or 10 that don’t get vaccinated, and they’ll leave.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry-content\">\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published by \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2021/10/student-covid-vaccination-loophole/\">CalMatters\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

That’s why that provision is in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan says he’ll consider authoring legislation that would eliminate the exemption if COVID-19 cases spike across the state or if districts report a high number of students and staff who abuse this provision to avoid the vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A possible bill, Pan said, would require the COVID vaccine to be treated like the 10 required inoculations that don’t allow for a personal belief exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem with the personal belief exemption is that if there are too many people who use it, we’ll have schools that are unsafe,” he said. “We need to be sure kids can stay in school and learn and not have to be sent home for two weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement in support of the mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The eradication of smallpox and polio, as well as prevention of meningitis, measles and whooping cough, show that vaccines work,” said chapter Chair Yasuko Fukuda. “New vaccines are developed and evaluated by a long-standing rigorous process to ensure effectiveness and safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Martin, executive director of the California Immunization Coalition, a public-health advocacy group, said she understands the concerns of the parents who are hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine, but agrees that the personal belief exemption should be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The No. 1 reason to eliminate the personal belief exemption is to be consistent,” Martin said. “This vaccine is no riskier than any other vaccine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said her organization will spend the coming months supporting pediatricians and school administrators as they explain the benefits and risks of the COVID-19 vaccine to students and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Parents are suffering because they really are scared,” she said. “Doctors are really going to need to up their game in terms of taking time and answering their questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Martin has less sympathy for teachers and school staff who refuse to get vaccinated for political reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re not believing in the science or if it’s a political belief, perhaps they need to find other work,” she said. “Perhaps this is going to weed out folks who don’t believe in the science.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association President E. Toby Boyd released a statement last week supporting the vaccine mandate for students, saying the vast majority of teachers have already been fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While recognizing the need for medical and religious exemptions, we believe vaccinations are key for both student and educator safety, keeping our schools open for in-person instruction and for combating this pandemic,” Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CTA Spokesperson Lisa Gardiner declined to comment on whether the union would support the elimination of the personal belief exemption if legislators were to propose a bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McFadden, from the Nevada Joint Union High School District, expects that most of his employees, even those opposing the mandate, will eventually get their vaccines so they can keep their jobs. He said when \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2021/08/california-teacher-vaccines-mandate-newsom/\">the governor issued a previous mandate requiring teachers to be vaccinated\u003c/a> or undergo regular testing, many teachers complained, but most came around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

To raise money legally in California, charities of every kind, including those run by a for-profit, commercial enterprise, would have to get on that registry and stay on it, by proving they’re transparently doing what they say they’re doing with your donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really amazing how long it’s gone unregulated,” said Joan Harrington, director of Social Sector Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at the Santa Clara University School of Law. In an earlier life, she was in-house counsel for the London-based nonprofit Save the Children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s speaking hyperbolically, in the sense that there are \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/charities/laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laws on the books\u003c/a>, and the California attorney general’s office has a division dedicated to regulating charities. But the breadth of the field that must be covered is overwhelming, and despite the odd regulatory crackdown, usually following a scandalous news report, Harrington says there isn’t enough oversight from government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, in most states, it is the attorney general’s office that regulates charities, and they’re very busy — with other things,” Harrington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the Wild West when you look at online charitable giving,” said Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin of Camarillo, who co-authored AB 488 with Attorney General Rob Bonta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The keyword here is “online.” California law has required charities to register with the attorney general for some time, but over the years, the charity space has expanded to include an ever-growing cast of actors: commercial fundraisers, fundraising counsels, and such. These entities are not necessarily charities themselves, but for-profit entities providing services that also require oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of AB 488, including the public benefit corporation Classy, wrote in public arguments in August that the new safeguard would be unnecessary, given current law. Other organizations also argued that additional regulation doesn’t do much to deter fraudulent behavior by bad actors who, by definition, aren’t bothering to abide by California law.[aside postID=\"news_11828981,news_11784234,news_11711341\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Bonta wrote in the June \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-announces-sponsorship-legislation-provide-oversight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press release\u003c/a> announcing the bill, “Internet companies have developed methods for individuals to donate to charities through websites and phone applications that serve as ‘charitable fundraising platforms.’ California’s solicitation laws do not specifically reach these online platforms, resulting in instances of deceit and mistreatment of charitable donations that the Attorney General’s Office is not able to address through enforcement of existing charity oversight laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In the meantime, what’s a donor to do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Harrington prefers opting for an established nonprofit over smaller outfits. “As dysfunctional as nonprofits can sometimes be, large nonprofits … are trying to do it right, and there are lots of things that you have to do in a nonprofit to do it right. And a single person who wants to make a change in Afghanistan who’s never done anything in Afghanistan before isn’t the right person,” Harrington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what to make of recent news headlines exposing ineffective or mismanaged institutional charities? The disappointing performance of the Red Cross in Haiti comes to mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/feSJ0pyxK34\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Journalists do sometimes vet charities during a crisis, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11886903/caldor-fire-how-to-support-tahoe-wildfire-survivors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED News did during the Caldor Fire\u003c/a>. But that’s not a catch-all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially online, and especially on social media platforms, nearly anyone can upload a distressing photo and use compelling language to persuade you to send cryptocurrency to a foreign bank account. Harrington urges donors to avoid making spur-of-the-moment, emotionally driven donations to people who appear to be newbies on the scene, whatever that scene is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I welcome everyone giving. I love giving. I would never want to discourage anybody, but if people ask me for my opinion on where they should give, I say, find someone who has been in Afghanistan. If you can give locally in Afghanistan, do that. But you know, your friend fundraising for Afghanistan who’s never been is not the right way to go,” Harrington said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

In an earlier life, she was in-house counsel for the London-based nonprofit Save the Children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s speaking hyperbolically, in the sense that there are \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/charities/laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laws on the books\u003c/a>, and the California attorney general’s office has a division dedicated to regulating charities. But the breadth of the field that must be covered is overwhelming, and despite the odd regulatory crackdown, usually following a scandalous news report, Harrington says there isn’t enough oversight from government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights, was engaged in a testy exchange with Facebook Privacy and Public Policy Vice President Steve Satterfield at Tuesday’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/big-data-big-questions-implications-for-competition-and-consumers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hearing\u003c/a>, the latest to put Big Tech executives on the spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee brought up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“series of bombshell reports” about Facebook\u003c/a> he read in the Wall Street Journal last week.

How does it miss the mark, any more than revelations years ago about tobacco companies concealing the dangers of tobacco? … And what tobacco companies knew about what they were doing to their own users?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there was any concern the antitrust crackdown on Silicon Valley stalled in Washington, D.C., over the summer, Tuesday’s hearing seemed to indicate lawmakers on both sides of the aisle smell blood in the water and feel there’s much to be gained politically by pursuing Big Tech — and not just in front of the cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee’s remark about tobacco was one of several references of the day made about companies and industries that lawmakers on Capitol Hill have dismantled in the 20th century. And while numerous hearings on Big Tech in the last two decades have featured pearl-clutching grandstanding followed by little to no antitrust legislation, the mood appears to have shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
