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.",

We shouldn’t, huh. Because is anything going to change if we ignore it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She posed a final question to the kids: “How can we change the world with each other?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her class, Vanasit navigated things smoothly, offering support and empathy. But the discussion shook her. “It was extremely sad and gave me goosebumps,” she said later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between the pandemic and the killing of George Floyd, the past year has brought plenty of trauma into the lives of students. This week, California educators once again find themselves looking for ways to support kids while managing their own emotions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Hayward, seventh grade teacher Donovan Hall woke up anxious about facing his students on Zoom. “I just didn’t trust that I could kind of keep that contained,” he said. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mary Vanasit, third grade teacher\"]‘It’s something hard to talk about … But is it important — when things like this happen, should we ignore it and pretend like it didn’t happen? We shouldn’t, huh. Because is anything going to change if we ignore it?’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall, who teaches a class focused on academic and personal development at Impact Academy, worried about his ability to guide students through this moment. “I’m a Black man and seeing how people are talking about it and kind of connecting it to Black Lives Matter and connecting to Black people in general, it brings up a lot of just hurt and pain,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knew one way to support his students was to be honest about his own emotions, “and let them know, ‘This is important to me, but right now I’m not ready to process it. That’s OK.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall and his co-teacher ended up dividing their class into two groups: One talked about the attempted coup, and the other, led by Hall, intentionally did not — they played a game instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Hall’s eighth grade students, Leandro Galvez, opted to join the group discussion and said it helped him process the events. “I feel frustrated, I feel angry, I feel sad,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way law enforcement handled the insurrection by the pro-Trump mob only confirms his belief that white privilege exists, he said, though it doesn’t make it any easier to make sense of the concept. “We all have red blood,” he said. “That means we’re all people. We shouldn’t be fighting with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the kind of reaction principal Blain Watson of Locke College Preparatory Academy in Watts anticipated from his students, whose pain and outrage is still raw in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students of color, communities of color have a lot of doubts about the establishment,” said Watson, “about whether the government supports us or not.” He went on to explain that after seeing Trump supporters able to enter the Capitol and fly a Confederate flag, he worries his students are in danger of losing all faith in government. [aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was up all night thinking about the responsibility my colleagues and me have to make sure that 20 years from now, when kids look back, they’ll remember the response to these events as something that was responsible and maintained emotional integrity,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For both Watson and Hall, the next step is to help students move beyond exploring their feelings about the state of our country, and on to what they can do about them. Watson plans to convene a deeper discussion of what the events mean to this Black and Latinx community in the week ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar conversations are happening among teachers who work with much younger students. In Oakland, Montclair Elementary School teacher Jamila Brooks planned to work with colleagues to develop lesson plans that deepen the teachable moment they initiated with students this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Brooks, that began Thursday morning with a poll of her 29 fifth graders, asking if they knew what had happened in the nation’s capital the night before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew we were going to talk about this today,” one student posted in chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are living in what people will talk about and study many years from now,” Brooks told them, drawing a connection to American history they’re studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She showed students a series of photos of the mob at the Capitol building and students took turns describing what they saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I noticed when you look at the crowd on the news, not to criticize, but it’s almost all white people — white supremacists,” said 10-year-old Mikhayah Watson. “I’m a little scared that our country is in this type of chaos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks reassured the kids it’s OK to feel scared. “A lot of us do,” she said. “What’s important is that we’re all safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To create a space for calm and healing, Brooks ended class by inviting her students to find their favorite stuffed animal, then lit up as she watched them wrap their arms around a teddy bear, a pink unicorn and a lamb named Shelby, their smiles returning to their faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Resources for teaching about the attack on the U.S. Capitol (\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EdSource\u003c/a>):\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Dr. Alyssa Hadley-Dunn, associate professor of teacher education at Michigan State University and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/teachingondaysafter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teaching on the Days After: \u003c/a>Dialogue and Resources for Educating Toward Justice has also compiled a list of \u003ca href=\"https://beyondthestoplight.com/2021/01/06/resources-for-teachers-on-the-days-after-the-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/?fbclid=IwAR2q0Hp8d9anJQZpT74Z4acAllv58Fo5mXSjE6O0R5Eap1jaTWA9tNxRZVg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suggestions\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The American Historical Association has launched “The Assault on the Capitol in Historical Perspective: \u003ca href=\"https://www.historians.org/news-and-advocacy/everything-has-a-history/the-assault-on-the-capitol-in-historical-perspective-resources-for-educators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resources for Educators\u003c/a>.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Teachers on Twitter (#sschat) have been sharing lessons about the lessons they are teaching about the attack.

That’s OK.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall and his co-teacher ended up dividing their class into two groups: One talked about the attempted coup, and the other, led by Hall, intentionally did not — they played a game instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Hall’s eighth grade students, Leandro Galvez, opted to join the group discussion and said it helped him process the events. “I feel frustrated, I feel angry, I feel sad,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way law enforcement handled the insurrection by the pro-Trump mob only confirms his belief that white privilege exists, he said, though it doesn’t make it any easier to make sense of the concept. “We all have red blood,” he said. “That means we’re all people. We shouldn’t be fighting with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the kind of reaction principal Blain Watson of Locke College Preparatory Academy in Watts anticipated from his students, whose pain and outrage is still raw in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students of color, communities of color have a lot of doubts about the establishment,” said Watson, “about whether the government supports us or not.” He went on to explain that after seeing Trump supporters able to enter the Capitol and fly a Confederate flag, he worries his students are in danger of losing all faith in government. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Watson plans to convene a deeper discussion of what the events mean to this Black and Latinx community in the week ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar conversations are happening among teachers who work with much younger students. In Oakland, Montclair Elementary School teacher Jamila Brooks planned to work with colleagues to develop lesson plans that deepen the teachable moment they initiated with students this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Brooks, that began Thursday morning with a poll of her 29 fifth graders, asking if they knew what had happened in the nation’s capital the night before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew we were going to talk about this today,” one student posted in chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are living in what people will talk about and study many years from now,” Brooks told them, drawing a connection to American history they’re studying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She showed students a series of photos of the mob at the Capitol building and students took turns describing what they saw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I noticed when you look at the crowd on the news, not to criticize, but it’s almost all white people — white supremacists,” said 10-year-old Mikhayah Watson. “I’m a little scared that our country is in this type of chaos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks reassured the kids it’s OK to feel scared. “A lot of us do,” she said. “What’s important is that we’re all safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To create a space for calm and healing, Brooks ended class by inviting her students to find their favorite stuffed animal, then lit up as she watched them wrap their arms around a teddy bear, a pink unicorn and a lamb named Shelby, their smiles returning to their faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Having to be in the rooms with these patients for long periods of time undoubtedly increases their risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>On Dec. 23, just two days before Christmas, the number of active COVID-19 cases in Alameda County’s Santa Rita Jail shot up from five to 56, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office reported in an easily overlooked post on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ACSOSheriffs/status/1341921479949107201\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, which runs the jail, says it’s the second outbreak at the facility since the pandemic began, despite a set of protocols in place to ward off the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re testing people who come into the jail and then we’re testing people two weeks after they’ve been in the jail,” said Kelly, noting that employees of the facility are screened on a regular basis, and everyone inside, including those incarcerated, have access to personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Darby Aono, a second-year law student at UC Berkeley, believes much more could be done to improve safety inside the jail.

"content": "\u003cp>As California continues to ride its worst wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health officials have more unsettling news: Six cases of a worrisome, potentially more infectious new coronavirus variant have been detected in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new strain, first detected in the United Kingdom, also has been seen in Colorado and Florida and \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/01/02/new-covid-strain-b-117-explained/4112125001/\">33 other countries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, San Diego County reported it had identified the new variant, called B.1.1.7, in a 30-year-old man with no travel history. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the discovery \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=1211649955896063&ref=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in a livestreamed event\u003c/a> with Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading national voice in the pandemic. Over the weekend, San Diego County health officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.countynewscenter.com/county-reports-record-high-deaths-as-more-local-cases-of-new-covid-19-strain-are-confirmed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported three additional cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said this news was expected, since international travel is ongoing and viruses generally mutate. “RNA viruses, they make a living out of mutating,” he said. “The more you replicate the more you mutate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the lack of travel history in the San Diego case is an indicator that the new form of the virus is circulating among the community, health officials there said. By Monday, the number of cases with the new variant had grown to six – four in San Diego, with one hospitalized, and two in San Bernardino, the governor announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s really important is that detecting this lineage here doesn’t really change what we need to do other than we need to do it better,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/K_G_Andersen/status/1344397421023961090?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Kristian Andersen\u003c/a>, an infectious disease and genomics expert at Scripps Research in San Diego, said in a news conference. That includes wearing masks and maintaining social distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what we know so far about the new coronavirus strain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How was it discovered?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The new virus variant was first reported by \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-sars-cov-2-information-about-the-new-virus-variant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">England’s public health agency\u003c/a> following a surge of cases in the southeastern part of the country. The first two samples were discovered in Kent and in London in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While mutations in viruses are common, this particular strain stood out because it carries more genetic changes than is typical, \u003ca href=\"https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisation-of-an-emergent-sars-cov-2-lineage-in-the-uk-defined-by-a-novel-set-of-spike-mutations/563\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to researchers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s the concern with this coronavirus variant?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Public health officials say the new strain seems to be more easily transmitted than the standard form of the virus. This means people who are exposed are more likely to become infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to health officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-sars-cov-2-information-about-the-new-virus-variant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the United Kingdom\u003c/a>, evidence shows that infection is growing more rapidly in geographical areas where this variant is found. \u003ca href=\"https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/uk-novel-variant.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A study\u003c/a> from \u003ca href=\"https://cmmid.lshtm.ac.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases\u003c/a> in London shows this particular strain is 56% more transmissible.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the discovery \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=1211649955896063&ref=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in a livestreamed event\u003c/a> with Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading national voice in the pandemic. Over the weekend, San Diego County health officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.countynewscenter.com/county-reports-record-high-deaths-as-more-local-cases-of-new-covid-19-strain-are-confirmed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported three additional cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said this news was expected, since international travel is ongoing and viruses generally mutate. “RNA viruses, they make a living out of mutating,” he said. “The more you replicate the more you mutate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the lack of travel history in the San Diego case is an indicator that the new form of the virus is circulating among the community, health officials there said. By Monday, the number of cases with the new variant had grown to six – four in San Diego, with one hospitalized, and two in San Bernardino, the governor announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s really important is that detecting this lineage here doesn’t really change what we need to do other than we need to do it better,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/K_G_Andersen/status/1344397421023961090?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Kristian Andersen\u003c/a>, an infectious disease and genomics expert at Scripps Research in San Diego, said in a news conference. That includes wearing masks and maintaining social distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what we know so far about the new coronavirus strain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s not an earthquake. It’s not a train wreck that’s right in the public view ... It’s all happening behind the doors of households and hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, home to Silicon Valley, only 8% of ICU beds were available, which was better than many places. Hospitals are still “stretched to the limit,” said Dr. Ahmad Kamal, county director of health care preparedness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months ago, the county had 4.5 cases per 100,000 people. Now it has 50 cases per 100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tweeted that it had mobilized a “Super-Spreader” Task Force to crack down on illegal, large New Year’s Eve gatherings. Officials didn't immediately know Friday if there were any arrests or citations. Sheriff Alex Villanueva noted that on average one person in the county was dying of COVID-19 every 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Robert Jablon, Brian Melley and Stefanie Dazio in Los Angeles contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But as the year dragged on, the calls dwindled. “It’s really hard, because you feel so lonely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those feelings are a natural consequence of the pandemic, says Bryant-Davis, the psychologist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When there is a lack of structure or routine, it increases that feeling of loss, despair, disconnection and a sense of being out of control,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even when a loss is of something intangible — a sense of purpose, time, motivation, relevance — it’s important to grieve it and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/04/03/826726628/how-to-get-therapy-when-you-cant-leave-the-house\">reach out for help\u003c/a> if you need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will always be someone going through something that seems more serious. But that “toxic positivity” is masking a national sadness about this pandemic to which no one is immune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a gift for us in the truth-telling,” says Bryant-Davis, who says it’s urgent that we “stop pretending we’re not hurting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are complicated beings. You can have more than one feeling at the same time,” she says. “You may be grateful that you have your health and still very disappointed about the losses of this year. And one doesn’t cancel out the other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.
