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.",

But seeing Kamala Harris get sworn in was something this family wasn’t going to miss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala Harris is Black and Indian. She was awesome because it felt great to have another Black and Asian person. I’m mixed and I’m proud of it,” said 6-year-old Sumaya Kaur Sidibe, who lives in San Francisco with her parents Joti Singh and Bongo Sidibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh is the daughter of Punjabi immigrants, who grew up in a suburb of Atlanta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where I grew up is now famous for being a place where Democrats are able to win. When I was growing up, it wasn’t like that all,” said Singh. “It was a very white suburb. It was Newt Gingrich’s district. There were a lot of Confederate flags, maybe still are. It wasn’t an easy place to be South Asian growing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her husband, Bongo Sidibe, immigrated to California from Conakry, Guinea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up for me it was very different, because where I’m from, everybody knows each other,” he said. “Before you’re even in your mommy’s tummy, they already know about you.

"content": "\u003cp>The post of California attorney general may be one of the most coveted political positions in the state, if not the country. It has served as a launching pad to higher office for several former attorneys general, including Vice President Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, like so many before him, current Attorney General Xavier Becerra is moving up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11849981/biden-picks-ca-attorney-general-to-be-first-latino-health-secretary\">has been tapped\u003c/a> as President Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His confirmation is likely now that Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/06/953712195/democrats-move-closer-to-senate-control-as-counting-continues-in-georgia\">control the U.S. Senate\u003c/a>. Becerra’s resignation would mean Gov. Gavin Newsom gets to pick a new attorney general for the state. Democratic consultant Brian Brokaw, who’s worked for both Harris and Newsom, said competition is stiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a very powerful position and it’s a very unique position,” Brokaw said. “There’s a reason why it is so sought after now, and every election year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an old joke that AG actually stands for \u003cem>aspiring governor\u003c/em>. That may be one reason Brokaw said the job is drawing a lot of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I certainly know there are people in Washington who would be willing and interested in coming back to serve in the role,” he said. “I think there are a lot of people in Sacramento and throughout the state who are interested in the position.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Democrats well known around the state Capitol have been mentioned as contenders, including Sacramento Mayor and former state Senate President Darrell Steinberg, and Oakland Assemblyman Rob Bonta. Both have good relationships with Newsom. The names of U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, and Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, are also in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women in the California Legislature are pushing Newsom to \u003ca href=\"https://womenscaucus.legislature.ca.gov/news/2021-01-07-democratic-legislative-womens-caucus-releases-statement-regarding-attorney-general\">appoint a woman\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Politics Coverage' tag='politics']Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson said Newsom will likely want someone he feels comfortable with. He may take gender or racial diversity into consideration, and, Levinson said, Newsom has shown he likes to break barriers with his appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just think that Gov. Newsom really loves being a king or queen maker,” she said. “And he wants to put his stamp on the next big up and comer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘A Very, Very Different Job’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Whoever the pick, he or she won’t be in the same situation as Becerra was. He served during the entire Trump administration, filing more than 120 lawsuits against the president. And while that put Becerra in a very public-facing position, Levinson said the next attorney general probably won’t be as visible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We now have a federal administration where California will probably be working with that administration, will be supporting the administration. And that is just a very, very different job,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Levinson said the next attorney general will probably still spend a lot of time pressing California’s case on environmental and immigration issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Gov. Jerry Brown (and another former attorney general) agrees the job will be different under the Biden administration. But he said there will still be plenty to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appetite for litigation is endless and the opportunities to sue people are endless,” Brown said. “So don’t worry about the lawyers sitting around the water cooler twiddling their thumbs. They’ll find plenty of paper to push around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe while dreaming about what office they might hold next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It has served as a launching pad to higher office for several former attorneys general, including Vice President Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, like so many before him, current Attorney General Xavier Becerra is moving up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11849981/biden-picks-ca-attorney-general-to-be-first-latino-health-secretary\">has been tapped\u003c/a> as President Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His confirmation is likely now that Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/06/953712195/democrats-move-closer-to-senate-control-as-counting-continues-in-georgia\">control the U.S. Senate\u003c/a>. Becerra’s resignation would mean Gov. Gavin Newsom gets to pick a new attorney general for the state. Democratic consultant Brian Brokaw, who’s worked for both Harris and Newsom, said competition is stiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a very powerful position and it’s a very unique position,” Brokaw said. “There’s a reason why it is so sought after now, and every election year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an old joke that AG actually stands for \u003cem>aspiring governor\u003c/em>. That may be one reason Brokaw said the job is drawing a lot of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I certainly know there are people in Washington who would be willing and interested in coming back to serve in the role,” he said. “I think there are a lot of people in Sacramento and throughout the state who are interested in the position.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He served during the entire Trump administration, filing more than 120 lawsuits against the president. And while that put Becerra in a very public-facing position, Levinson said the next attorney general probably won’t be as visible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We now have a federal administration where California will probably be working with that administration, will be supporting the administration.

But he said there will still be plenty to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appetite for litigation is endless and the opportunities to sue people are endless,” Brown said. “So don’t worry about the lawyers sitting around the water cooler twiddling their thumbs.

But I didn't want you to know that,” he says, referring to the iconic musical about dancers auditioning for a Broadway show. “So I would secretly listen to 'A Chorus Line' at home, by myself, when my parents and my sisters were gone. To hide all that stuff all the time is exhausting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His reckoning came when he was 27. He was still in college, studying abroad in Europe, and got an invitation to see mass at the Vatican on Christmas Day. He was sitting in row 12, staring up at Pope John Paul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I could have thrown a paper airplane and hit him. And I was like, this is the closest I am ever going to be to what I know as God, I'm just going to have a frank conversation with Him,” Billy remembers. “I said, ‘OK, I'm gay. I’m putting it out there, I know that I am gay.’ That was the moment.

He was 30, but he says it was like he was 16, discovering his sexuality for the first time. He dove into the party scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like gay paradise, it was Mecca,” he says. “You’re in a dance club with a thousand men, they’re all basically naked, and a good majority of them are high. It was off-the-wall crazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billy developed a taste for crystal meth. It erased his shame, his inner critic. And it gave him the sex drive of a 16-year-old. It was fun. Until it wasn’t. After the World Trade Center fell on 9/11, he lost his bartending job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hospitality here in the city came to a screeching halt,” he remembers. “It's kind of like now, to a lesser degree.

Then his customers would send back $16,000 in $20 or $100 bills via FedEx.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No exaggeration, my life was 'Breaking Bad' with show tunes,” he says, referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad\">television show\u003c/a> about an entrepreneurial meth cook. “That sounds fun and funny, but it wasn't. It was that bad. There were guns and people getting robbed. Stolen cars, people getting beat up. It was bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Billy was never caught for the cross-country care packages, he was arrested three times over his 10-year drug career for possession or intent to sell. The first two times, he served a month or so in jail, then skipped out on probation. The third time, he got caught with a half-pound of meth and was facing a mandatory sentence in state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day he was scheduled to go before the judge, he sat in his jail cell at 850 Bryant St. in San Francisco, desperately bargaining with himself, with God, with the universe: \"Please, please, anything. Is there anything you can do to get me out of this?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billy was escorted to the courtroom in his orange jumpsuit and shackles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the judge dismissed his case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was released that day,” Billy says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Kamala Harris Twist\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This was 2010. Kamala Harris was the district attorney of San Francisco and her office was swept up in a scandal involving the San Francisco Police Department’s drug crime lab: a 60-year old lab technician was suspected of \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/archive/7454049/\">skimming cocaine out of the evidence room for her own use\u003c/a>, throwing the integrity of about 1,000 drug cases into question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ office, which relied on this evidence and the testimony of technicians in drug prosecutions, came under fire for failing to disclose the tainted evidence to defense teams, and for failing to have a policy in place for how to handle potentially exculpatory information like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though her office initially tried to minimize the number of cases affected and fought hard to keep them alive in court, Harris ultimately decided to drop them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like Christmas for drug addicts. Everybody was getting released,” Billy remembers. “I was the lucky beneficiary of one of those cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Billy, it was the answer to his prayer. A sign that the universe wanted something different for him. He committed that day to stop selling drugs, he says, and he made his way to rehab.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Billy Lemon\"]'A lot of us gay men that grew up in kind of strict religious dogma, the idea of God is just kind of gross ...

He’s been sober for eight years and now runs the Castro Country Club, helping other gay men get off drugs. Billy says it’s all because of Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She literally saved my life,” he says. “She has no idea that she saved my life, but she saved my life.

It’s as though each of her successes was an affirmation of his own small triumphs toward recovery.

Either way, dropping those cases was not an act of benevolence for drug offenders. She was not in the business of handing out “get out of jail free” cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billy knows this, but he sets it aside. He’s got his narrative about her role in his life and he’s sticking with it.[aside postID=\"news_11724407,news_11854373,news_11855838\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was easy for me to put her on a pedestal. And since putting her on that pedestal, she’s only gotten bigger,” he says. “I feel this weird fairy godmother kind of connection to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gay community has had a steady run of celebrity fairy godmothers over the years: Judy Garland, Madonna, Beyonce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially for men of Billy Lemon’s generation, who’ve been rejected by their families or the church, they’ve elected these famous women to fill the role of nurturer and advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of us gay men that grew up in kind of strict religious dogma, the idea of God is just kind of gross,” he says. “The idea of a goddess actually sounds really kind of awesome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for Billy, a former Catholic who began to forsake his conventional God at the Vatican itself, it is fully fitting that he deify Kamala Harris. Especially now that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11845298/as-first-female-vice-president-elect-kamala-harris-rewrites-script-for-presidential-politics\">she will be vice president\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11855838/vice-president-elect-harris-formally-resigns-senate-seat-gov-newsom-appoints-replacement\">the tie-breaking vote in the Senate\u003c/a>, responsible for some of the biggest decisions in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of rad, like, super rad. The first 50-50 vote that they have, and they get to zoom in on her gaveling in the vote, is kind of badass,\" he said. \"I’m kind of inspired by that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it was intentional or not, Billy says he turned his life around because of a decision Harris made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her ascension to power is just another sign that he made the right decision to believe in her — even if she is just the human symbol of a massive lucky break.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Everybody was getting released,” Billy remembers. “I was the lucky beneficiary of one of those cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Billy, it was the answer to his prayer.

Only 15 of the 20 senators being sworn in were actually on the chamber floor. Two others were sworn in via Zoom, while three were still making arrangements. All in-person attendees were separated by plexiglass shields and wore masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers gathered indoors to carry out what they call their “essential” constitutional duty on the same day that more than 33 million Californians were ordered to stay home because of a surge of new coronavirus cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When our constituents are delaying wedding and graduations and other important life events, the California state Senate understands and will gladly take a pass on some of the pomp and circumstance that we would normally enjoy,” state Sen. Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, said shortly after being reelected as the Senate’s president pro tempore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
