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.",

Officer Rick Turner said the protesters’ violation of social distancing rules at today’s rally “will be taken into account” for future permits.

California’s original use-of-force law, she added, dates back to 1872 and hasn’t been amended since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family members of victims filled the hearing room in support of AB 392. Ciara Hamilton’s cousin, Diante Yarber, 26, was shot and killed by police in April 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-barstow-police-shooting-20181129-story.html\">while he drove through a Walmart parking lot\u003c/a> in Barstow (San Bernardino County). Police said he refused to turn off his engine and show them his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was taken from us because the police in California were and are allowed to shoot people, even when they have alternatives to deadly force,” she said. “That’s why I’m here today, to respectfully ask the committee to pass AB 392. I want to feel protected by law enforcement, not in fear of my life because they might mistake my phone for a gun or may shoot into a vehicle that I’m in because of the color of my skin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But law enforcement groups say Weber’s bill is misguided. They maintain that shootings often happen in a matter of seconds when officers don’t have time to think through whether deadly force is truly necessary, as opposed to simply reasonable, the current standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“AB 392 is an impossible standard,” said Shane LaVigne, a legislative advocate with the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association. “Officers are often forced to make split-second judgments in circumstances that are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving. AB 392 would require superhuman decision-making that is simply not possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff Julie Robertson also spoke passionately against the legislation, describing an incident last year when she and her partner responded to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article218816465.html\">disturbance at an auto parts store\u003c/a>. The suspect, she said, opened fire immediately after they arrived, killing her partner and wounding her and a store employee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was fighting for my life and fighting to protect complete strangers as I chose to stand between the gunman, employees and patrons,” she told the committee. “The thought of having to second-guess my actions in that moment is frightening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the committee moved to advance the bill, several of its members expressed concern that the current language was too restrictive for law enforcement and encouraged Weber to adopt more moderate legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all law enforcement officers stand opposed to the measure. Cheryl Dorsey, a retired Los Angeles Police Department sergeant, said too many officers are reluctant to de-escalate contentious situations and often resort to using force when it can be avoided. She cited the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11730276/2-sacramento-cops-who-shot-stephon-clark-wont-face-charges\">police shooting death of Stephon Clark\u003c/a>, an explosive incident that provided the necessary political momentum for Weber to introduce her original use of force bill that stalled last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because an alleged suspect attempts to evade arrest by jumping fences and hiding in a backyard, he should not be executed when cornered,” she said of the young unarmed black man shot to death by Sacramento police in March 2018. “Stephon Clark was chased into a contained area. Officers were aided by the illumination of an air unit. Rather than seek cover … and establish a perimeter, the officers fired 20 rounds at Stephon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Can you withstand the negativity and lack of privacy that come with it? Those concerns are relevant to anyone. But women face a specific set of challenges when it comes to raising kids and running for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2011, Buffy Wicks was in her mid-30s and working on President Obama’s re-election campaign in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t easy,\" she said. \"You work like 100-hour weeks when you’re on a presidential campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her career was thriving, but, at the same time she began to think about the possibility of having kids. Knowing the moment wasn’t right, Wicks made a very personal decision: She froze her eggs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was doing (hormone) shots every morning, shots every evening at specific times, then layering in different shots,\" she said. \"Physically, my ovaries were getting really big. It was uncomfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Wicks, the discomfort was worth it. She saw it as preserving her choice about whether to have children until she was ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jean Sinzdak, with the Center for American Women and Politics, said it’s common for women to make these kinds of calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More from KQED's The Long Run\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/the-long-run\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/thelongrun_final01-qut-1180x632.jpg\" width=\"400\" align=\"alignright\"> \u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“For women it’s a challenge because they’re still primarily the caregivers in their families,\" Sinzdak said. \"So they’re balancing maybe a job and caring for young children or caring for elderly parents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s a challenge even those in the nation’s top political offices have faced.

But I won’t do it if you want me to be here with you,\" Pelosi shared. \"To which she said, 'Mother, get a life!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, she was \u003cem>fine\u003c/em> with her mother being out of the house.
