Her cub, Bounce, born this past winter, is following her lead. Now, California wildlife officials say enough is enough. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has approved a plan to capture and euthanize Hope, citing repeated break-ins and escalating property damage. But local advocates are fighting to save her, arguing that humans are the ones who need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent afternoon, a crowd gathered in a Tahoe Keys backyard. High up in a pine tree sat a black bear and her cub — not Hope and Bounce — but a reminder of how common these encounters have become. “They’re up there huffing and puffing,” said Kathi Zollinger, a volunteer with the BEAR League, a nonprofit that educates locals about living safely alongside bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zollinger and her team had rushed to the scene after receiving a hotline call from a homeowner. Her job is to scare the bears away without hurting them, usually with paintball guns, loud noises, or simply waiting them out. “We’re using paintball guns and yelling at them and doing other things to haze them,” Zollinger said. “The goal isn’t to harm them, just to get them back into the forest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has about 60,000 black bears, and as more homes are built in forested areas, the chances of running into one are only increasing. The department plans to euthanize Hope if they are able to safely capture her. Her cub, Bounce, would be taken in and rehabilitated. Many residents don’t agree with that plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Regulators Fail To Take Action To Better Protect Stoneworkers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At a meeting this week of the state board that adopts workplace safety rules, they failed to take up the idea of implementing new rules or regulations for workers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064693/california-doctors-urge-ban-on-engineered-stone-as-silicosis-cases-surge\">who cut engineered stone. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicosis cases are surging in California’s countertop fabrication industry. The often deadly lung disease is linked to inhaling toxic dust. Medical and occupational safety experts warn that current regulations won’t protect hundreds more relatively young workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1,000 to 1,500 stoneworkers in California could develop silicosis within the next decade, leading to roughly 285 deaths, according to California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA. The state is home to about 5,000 countertop fabrication workers, predominantly Latino immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artificial stone in the U.S. market often contains more than 90% pulverized crystalline silica, far more than natural stones such as marble and granite. When workers powercut, polish and grind slabs of the material, tiny silica particles are released.

Her cub, Bounce, born this past winter, is following her lead. Now, California wildlife officials say enough is enough. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has approved a plan to capture and euthanize Hope, citing repeated break-ins and escalating property damage. But local advocates are fighting to save her, arguing that humans are the ones who need to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent afternoon, a crowd gathered in a Tahoe Keys backyard. High up in a pine tree sat a black bear and her cub — not Hope and Bounce — but a reminder of how common these encounters have become. “They’re up there huffing and puffing,” said Kathi Zollinger, a volunteer with the BEAR League, a nonprofit that educates locals about living safely alongside bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zollinger and her team had rushed to the scene after receiving a hotline call from a homeowner. Her job is to scare the bears away without hurting them, usually with paintball guns, loud noises, or simply waiting them out. “We’re using paintball guns and yelling at them and doing other things to haze them,” Zollinger said. “The goal isn’t to harm them, just to get them back into the forest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The often deadly lung disease is linked to inhaling toxic dust. Medical and occupational safety experts warn that current regulations won’t protect hundreds more relatively young workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1,000 to 1,500 stoneworkers in California could develop silicosis within the next decade, leading to roughly 285 deaths, according to California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA. The state is home to about 5,000 countertop fabrication workers, predominantly Latino immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artificial stone in the U.S. market often contains more than 90% pulverized crystalline silica, far more than natural stones such as marble and granite. When workers powercut, polish and grind slabs of the material, tiny silica particles are released. If inhaled, they can lodge in the lungs and cause tissue scarring that progressively impedes breathing. Respirable silica can also lead to lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12064922/eric-swalwell-california-governor-race\">\u003cstrong>East Bay Rep.

Booker’s marathon speech gave them the fuel they need to keep pushing, she continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was one of the most impactful moments I have seen in government,” Simon told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all constituents are convinced, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utne, who is studying natural resources at UC Berkeley, said she’s disappointed at how Democratic leaders have reacted to Trump’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was shocked when several Senate Democrats, led by Sen.

In liberal strongholds like California, representatives need to use their power to stand up for issues that are hurting residents, Utne said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has always been such a big economic leader and a leader in environmental rights and queer rights and all these other things,” Utne said. “We should be at the front.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angie Zhu, a sophomore at UC Berkeley, said most of the headlines she’s read center on what Republicans and Trump are doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats need to stir up more publicity around what they are doing to fight back, she said. The Republican Party is better at maintaining an active social media presence, she said, adding that social media is the best way to engage young voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For people who are not involved in politics, our sources are through what’s popping up on Instagram and TikTok,” Zhu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Suckley, a senior at UC Berkeley, said older politicians have been too complacent since Trump’s election. It feels like many Democratic leaders are giving up and waiting for the next election before they make a move, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suckley said he wants to see politicians stand alone and “do the right thing” regardless of political affiliation or possible cuts to federal funding.

Hello, grown-ups! Hello, everyone, it’s nice to see you here,” she sang. The children sat in a semi-circle on the library floor, crooning along with Dulce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she sang, a line of men entered the library, single-file. Some wore the signature black-and-yellow colors of the far-right Proud Boys group, law enforcement officials said. One of the men’s shirts read “Kill Your Local Pedophile” on it, emblazoned over a gun.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Panda Dulce, drag queen\"]‘I didn’t know if they were armed. I was only acutely aware of the fact that neither myself nor any of the other librarians were.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They sat down behind the children. When the singing stopped, the shouting started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So who brought the tranny?” they yelled, directed straight at Dulce. They called her an “it,” and a “pedophile.” Dulce, fearing violence, hid in the back office with a security guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know if they were armed. I was only acutely aware of the fact that neither myself nor any of the other librarians were,” she told KQED. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/Cer31geJMcT/\">In an Instagram post\u003c/a>, Dulce said the men “totally freaked out the kids. They got right in our faces. They jeered. They attempted to escalate to violence.”[aside postID=\"news_11912937,news_11902718\" label=\"Related Posts\"]Alameda County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the scene, but by the time they got there, some of those shouting obscenities had dispersed. No arrests were made. No one was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lt. Ray Kelly said the sheriffs believed they were responding to a disturbance, and that “at the time, there was no reason to do an arrest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t till later that we discovered that it was targeted hate speech and that it was done by design and organization,” he said. “We’ll follow up now with this change in events and the dynamics of the disturbance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime, with the intent to annoy or harass children. They’re asking the parents and Panda Dulce, whose name is Kyle Casey Chu, whether they’d like to file a complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1535845401005154305\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking at this through a hate crimes lens based on the information, the fact that these individuals went into the library, they were verbally and physically aggressive in their demeanor and in their approach,” Lt. Kelly said. “They caused the organizer of that event to actually flee the area. So there was fear of attack there, of assault. And then we … as well as that, there were children present in the library at the time. And so that would also be considered a crime. You cannot annoy or harass children in the state of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI’s San Francisco bureau released a statement on Tuesday regarding the disruption. \u003cspan style=\"color: black;font-size: medium\">“The FBI is aware of this incident and we are in regular contact with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.

Chu, who hails from San Francisco, has been a part of Drag Queen Story Hour since at least 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was created by Michelle Tea and RADAR Productions in San Francisco in 2015 as a way to celebrate reading “through the glamorous art of drag,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.dragqueenstoryhour.org/about/\">according to the organization, \u003c/a>and has 50 chapters in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a Pandora’s box has been opened and people feel very okay with attacking our community,” said State Sen. Scott Wiener. “We’re seeing political attacks around the country and we’re seeing actual violence. These attacks are related and they are fueled by the extreme right wing political rhetoric from politicians like like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, but also from right wing influencers on social media who post all sorts of atrocious material attacking me and attacking LGBTQ people in general.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Lorenzo is in the East Bay district of Rep. Eric Swalwell, who wrote in a statement Sunday, “Today while on a plane back to Washington, DC, I learned about an attack in our community by members of the Proud Boys. We must reject this hate and extremism whenever it shows itself, which is why I will be returning home this Thursday to meet with law enforcement and the community. There is no place for this hate in the East Bay, and we all need to speak up with one voice in saying so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11916929\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1080px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11916929\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/PandaDulceCourtesy.jpg\" alt=\"Panda Dulce in elaborate drag makeup, an SF Giants black and orange cap, and a white tshirt, posing for a selfie with a security guard in uniform. \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/PandaDulceCourtesy.jpg 1080w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/PandaDulceCourtesy-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/PandaDulceCourtesy-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/PandaDulceCourtesy-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panda Dulce poses for a selfie with a security guard in uniform the day homophobic slurs were hurled at them during a Drag Queen Story Hour at San Lorenzo Library on June 11, 2022. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Panda Dulce)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Proud Boys are\u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys\"> considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/a>, a nonprofit monitoring domestic hate groups and extremists. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the Proud Boys as known for anti-Muslim and misogynist rhetoric, whose leaders regularly echo white nationalist memes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident was far from isolated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on the same day, 31 members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested for conspiracy to riot, and were believed to be headed to a local “Pride in the Park” event, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/06/12/1104418170/31-members-of-a-white-nationalist-group-were-arrested-for-planning-to-riot-at-pr\">according to NPR\u003c/a>. The group is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just recently, San Lorenzo’s Drag Queen Story Hour had gained notoriety in spaces that regularly lambaste the LGBTQ+ community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two weeks ago, the infamous Twitter account @LibsofTikTok, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/19/libs-of-tiktok-right-wing-media/\">known for its inflammatory posts about the LGBTQ+ community that are often amplified by right-wing politicians and media personalities\u003c/a>, posted a “mega-thread,” highlighting roughly 40 examples of family-friendly drag events across the United States. The account has more than 1 million followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSwalwell/status/1536095666262401024?s=20&t=IBVkfYzp4dljxTIZkBZv1w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group wrote in its Twitter post, “They say it’s innocent.
