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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Alongside the beachgoers denied, the indignant gun shop owners and the house-bound pastors, Gov. Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company. The state of California, and Newsom in particular, are facing down more than a dozen lawsuits over their response to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ca href=\"#tracker\">Find details on all of them in the tracker below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courtroom backlash is no surprise. The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state. They have also tested the limits of executive power and the negotiability of many constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the lawsuits against Newsom challenge the broad restrictions imposed by the shelter-in-place orders. Others contest the governor’s offer of state assistance to undocumented immigrants, his targeted closure of beaches in Orange County, the refusal to list gun shops as essential services and the arrest of two protestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the state is taking flak from an array of aggrieved Californians — gondoliers, conservative politicians and a Butte County musician reduced to playing his saxophone over Zoom are among the plaintiffs — there is a common denominator for most of these lawsuits: Her name is Harmeet Dhillon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the more than a dozen shutdown lawsuits against Newsom thus far, the San Francisco attorney and Republican Party bigwig is representing plaintiffs in nine of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, Dhillon said, “went from ‘let’s flatten the curve for two weeks’ to ‘let’s put everyone under house arrest until we find a cure.’ ” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,500 Californians have died of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Dhillon said she does not make light of that tragedy, but does not believe it justifies shuttering society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not shut down our highways because people die in car accidents,” she said. “We do not ban commerce because people die of lung disease after buying cigarettes. There’s a whole range of health issues that we manage with an acceptable level of risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817690\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817690\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Damore, a former Google employee who wrote a controversial diversity memo, appears alongside attorney Harmeet Dhillon during a press conference on Jan. 8, 2018, in San Francisco, announcing a lawsuit against his former employer. \u003ccite>(Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Public health experts \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/this-coronavirus-is-unlike-anything-in-our-lifetime-and-we-have-to-stop-comparing-it-to-the-flu\">argue\u003c/a> that because the coronavirus is so contagious, unlike car accidents and lung cancer, “managing” the risk of an overwhelmed medical system requires tighter restrictions on social control. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent study published with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w26992?utm_campaign=Economic%20Studies&utm_medium=email&utm_content=87636981&utm_source=hs_email\">National Bureau of Economic Research\u003c/a> estimated that the state’s shelter-in-place order resulted in 1,661 fewer deaths, which, the authors reasoned, works out to “about 400 job losses per life saved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon has long played the role of counter-puncher to the progressive ambitions of state Democrats, who now hold every state constitutional office and a big supermajority in the Legislature. When lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/11/california-trump-tax-return-law-struck-down/\">a bill requiring President Trump\u003c/a> to publish his taxes in order to appear on the ballot, it was Dhillon, the Republican Party’s national committeewoman from California, who filed suit on behalf of the California GOP. Last year, she \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/10/california-trump-taxes-illegal-votes-fraud-tax-return-conservatives-lawsuit/\">sued Secretary of State Alex Padilla\u003c/a> for, she argued, failing to do enough to exclude non-citizens from county voter rolls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Dhillon has cobbled together a small phalanx of California Republicans to help her wage war against the liberal powers that be. Mark Meuser, who ran for secretary of state in 2018 on an anti-voter-fraud plank, is on her team. In a handful of the pandemic-era cases she’s joined by Bill Essayli — a young former prosecutor \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/2018/05/im-not-running-for-president-how-the-california-republican-party-tries-to-put-on-a-new-face-in-the-era-of-trump/\">who unsuccessfully ran for Assembly\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when she isn’t suing the state, Dhillon’s name has a way of popping up whenever a new culture war flashpoint breaks out in California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall when software engineer James Damore sued Google after being fired for \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-Ideological-Echo-Chamber.pdf\">circulating a memo\u003c/a> asserting that the underrepresentation of women in tech had a biological basis?

Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company. The state of California, and Newsom in particular, are facing down more than a dozen lawsuits over their response to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ca href=\"#tracker\">Find details on all of them in the tracker below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courtroom backlash is no surprise. The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state. They have also tested the limits of executive power and the negotiability of many constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dhillon said she does not make light of that tragedy, but does not believe it justifies shuttering society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not shut down our highways because people die in car accidents,” she said. “We do not ban commerce because people die of lung disease after buying cigarettes.

Last year, she \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/10/california-trump-taxes-illegal-votes-fraud-tax-return-conservatives-lawsuit/\">sued Secretary of State Alex Padilla\u003c/a> for, she argued, failing to do enough to exclude non-citizens from county voter rolls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Dhillon has cobbled together a small phalanx of California Republicans to help her wage war against the liberal powers that be.

In a handful of the pandemic-era cases she’s joined by Bill Essayli — a young former prosecutor \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/2018/05/im-not-running-for-president-how-the-california-republican-party-tries-to-put-on-a-new-face-in-the-era-of-trump/\">who unsuccessfully ran for Assembly\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wells Fargo is one of more than 5,000 lenders approved by the SBA, which is helping to oversee the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum said the bank’s website told him that he had to submit a request for his application before he could officially apply — Wells Fargo and other banks called these “expression of interest” forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Kenny Blum, Little Truckee Ice Creamery owner\"]\"The next morning, I woke up to the headline saying that the PPP funding had run out.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the first of April, Blum submitted that request. Two weeks later, he got an email saying that his application was ready to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum said he stayed up late to fill out the application and upload necessary materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next morning, I woke up to the headline saying that the PPP funding had run out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s even more frustrating, Blum said, was that other small business owners he knows, who went to community banks, fared much better than he did. One of them got his loan the same day that Blum received the go-ahead from Wells Fargo to simply submit his application, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blum is not alone in his experience, and a coalition of small businesses in California has \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbfreeman/2020/04/23/ppp-lawsuits-allege-banks-favored-larger-customers-a-second-round-of-funding-likely/#5f779c211bf1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed a lawsuit\u003c/a> against Wells Fargo and three other major banks for prioritizing applications that they allege were more profitable to the banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo would not offer comment on the legal action. In addition to the suit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wells-fargo-paycheck-protection-program-loans-faces-government-investigation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent reports\u003c/a> indicate authorities are now investigating Wells Fargo's PPP lending practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the SBA, the paycheck program is first come, first served. The administration said it relies on a set formula to calculate loan amounts, so that once all paperwork is submitted, it should just be a matter of the banks processing submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it appears that loan processing, especially at some big banks, was slowed for other reasons. Because the government rolled out the program so quickly, they were still firming up certain guidelines when it launched. Some larger banks took longer to process applications, according to a report by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-04-18/small-business-loans-coronavirus-unemployment\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>, because they wanted more clarification on certain guidelines and feared they'd be sanctioned if their paperwork didn't meet standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a smaller bank spent less time on details and prioritized processing, they weren't penalized, at least during PPP's first round. In an \u003ca href=\"https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/Paycheck-Protection-Program-Frequently-Asked-Questions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online FAQ guide\u003c/a>, the U.S. Department of the Treasury confirmed that any banks that didn't initially understand PPP guidelines would not need to withdraw the applications they submitted during the first round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uZb8fh2oK/\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Round Two: Which Bank to Apply With?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead up to the second round of funding, Blum hoped the process would be smoother, since Wells Fargo already had his application from last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before the official launch, he’d started getting confusing messages about whether he’d have to start his application over. He decided to submit another one, because his branch's staff said that was the safer way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Wells Fargo spokesman Ruben Pulido confirmed that customers like Blum do not need to fill out a new application, and that the bank would continue processing loan requests in the order it had received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s a good thing for Blum, because \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/27/846197794/small-business-loans-site-crashes-on-1st-day-of-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not only did the SBA’s portal crash on April 27,\u003c/a> the first day of the relaunch, but Wells Fargo stopped accepting new PPP applications on April 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many small business owners may feel stuck and frustrated because their applications seemingly aren't moving forward, the SBA said there's an alternative. SBA regional communications director Miryam Barajas confirmed that businesses can have applications open with multiple lenders, and that the system would ensure they are only funded once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blum and another small business owner who reached out to KQED found out there's a catch there, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Blum tried to apply with other banks, including Plumas Bank, Bank of the West, Bank of America, Citibank and US Bank, among several others, he was told he had to have an established banking relationship prior to Feb. 15. That message is also posted on the above banks' websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means Blum and those like him are confined only to lenders with whom they had pre-existing relationships.

Otherwise, the loan won’t be forgiven, and she’ll be on the hook to pay the interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a mixed bag, because, ‘Yay, we got the loan!’ ” Kim said. “But now I’m apprehensive about spending it because I don’t know if that loan will be forgiven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, Kim had to lay off her six part-time employees months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I can’t spend 75% of that loan in two months,” Kim said. “I feel like I have no choice but to give it back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Otherwise, the loan won’t be forgiven, and she’ll be on the hook to pay the interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely a mixed bag, because, ‘Yay, we got the loan!’ ” Kim said. “But now I’m apprehensive about spending it because I don’t know if that loan will be forgiven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, Kim had to lay off her six part-time employees months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I can’t spend 75% of that loan in two months,” Kim said. “I feel like I have no choice but to give it back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Reading accounts of those who survived, and had gone through isolation, “they felt completely dehumanized,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set aside her other projects and plunged in to explore options for rural Liberia, “how to take portraits of health care workers and print them out on adhesive labels without electricity?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After extensive research, she emailed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/speakers/soka_moses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. J. Soka Moses\u003c/a> in Liberia. He responded enthusiastically, and a month later Dr. Moses Massaquoi — then chair of Ebola Case Management for Liberia — issued her an invitation to Liberia (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/04/09/397853271/an-artists-brainstorm-put-photos-on-those-faceless-ebola-suits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR\u003c/a> featured the original project in 2015).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2015, she was on a plane to Liberia partnering directly with the government, “not a white woman-sort-of-freelancer-do-gooder, but invited by case management of Liberia,” she said. As she unloaded her six large boxes of printers, vinyl labels and water-resistant ink and supplies, a fellow passenger asked if she was moving to Liberia.

Reading accounts of those who survived, and had gone through isolation, “they felt completely dehumanized,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set aside her other projects and plunged in to explore options for rural Liberia, “how to take portraits of health care workers and print them out on adhesive labels without electricity?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After extensive research, she emailed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/speakers/soka_moses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. J. Soka Moses\u003c/a> in Liberia. He responded enthusiastically, and a month later Dr. Moses Massaquoi — then chair of Ebola Case Management for Liberia — issued her an invitation to Liberia (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/04/09/397853271/an-artists-brainstorm-put-photos-on-those-faceless-ebola-suits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR\u003c/a> featured the original project in 2015).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2015, she was on a plane to Liberia partnering directly with the government, “not a white woman-sort-of-freelancer-do-gooder, but invited by case management of Liberia,” she said. As she unloaded her six large boxes of printers, vinyl labels and water-resistant ink and supplies, a fellow passenger asked if she was moving to Liberia.

Connie worries about conditions inside the California Institution for Men in Chino, where Pedro, who also has a respiratory illness called Valley fever, is locked up. And Pedro worries that he can't do enough to help his 73-year-old mother right now.
