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>Robel Sletsion, an asylee from Eritrea who’s now a U.S. citizen, applied months ago for an immigrant visa for his wife, Tehaguas, who’s also Eritrean. The couple planned to live in Oakland together, where Sletsion works as a plumber and pipe fitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the couple’s plans to reunite are now in shambles after President Trump expanded his travel ban to cover six more countries, including Eritrea. The new restrictions went into effect Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very hard. I don’t know how long it’s going to be,” said Sletsion, 34. “I don’t know if she can come. I don’t know if I’m allowed to get her here and live a happy life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to thousands of immigrants from countries targeted by the Trump administration’s new travel restrictions. The policy makes it difficult for American citizens to bring spouses, children and other relatives from the affected nations to live in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is banning new immigrant visas to permanently move here for nationals of Eritrea, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. Citizens of Sudan and Tanzania will no longer be able to gain residency in the U.S through a diversity visa lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policy widens the controversial travel ban that has been in place since 2017 on five Muslim-majority nations — Libya, Somalia, Iran, Syria and Yemen — as well as for certain citizens of North Korea and Venezuela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees and asylees are exempted from the restrictions. And those with green cards or visas in hand will not be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sletsion’s wife does not yet have a U.S. visa, since her application is pending. Because of the new restrictions, Tehaguas may not be able to come live with him here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Sletsion can’t return safely to Eritrea, he said, because he fled political persecution in that country after the army forcibly conscripted him when he was a teen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Haregu Gaime, immigration attorney\"]‘It’s horrifying, people are scared that they will not be able to reunite with their family members.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a dictatorial government and it was very dangerous for me to live there. So I left,” said Sletsion, who arrived in the U.S. 11 years ago. “I’m very grateful to have a peaceful life here in this country. But this [order by the president] is very unfortunate. If somebody can help, please help us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the couple’s only hope to reunite is to get a waiver of the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those exceptions are very hard to get, Sletsion learned at an event attended by dozens of other Eritrean immigrants at an Oakland library in the Temescal neighborhood last Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no formal application to request a waiver, attorneys at the event said. And U.S. citizens must show they’ll suffer undue hardship if their relative is denied a visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s horrifying, people are scared that they will not be able to reunite with their family members,” said immigration attorney Haregu Gaime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new restrictions will impact Eritreans particularly hard, she said, as the Trump administration has already discontinued visas for students, tourists and business purposes. Those previous limitations are due to that country’s “lack of cooperation” in accepting their nationals who were ordered deported from the U.S., according to the Department of State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now “Eritreans are not allowed to enter the United States, is essentially what this government is saying,” said Gaime, who initially arrived in the U.S. as a 5-year-old Eritrean refugee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 8,100 Eritreans live in California, with a third of them residing in Alameda County alone, according to census figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said the travel restrictions were imposed because the countries did not meet U.S. security criteria and have deficiencies in sharing terrorist, criminal or identity information. As a result, American officials can’t verify the true identity of all applicants from those nations, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As President, I must continue to act to protect the security and interests of the United States and its people,” said Trump in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-improving-enhanced-vetting-capabilities-processes-detecting-attempted-entry/\">Jan. 31 proclamation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban expansion comes as African immigrants have surged in numbers in recent decades to more than 2 million nationwide, with the largest share of that population being born in Nigeria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ismael Okunade, co-owner of Miliki Restaurant in Oakland’s Laurel neighborhood, is one of the estimated 36,000 Nigerian immigrants living in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of Okunade’s customers were shocked by the new travel restrictions, he said, because Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, is a business partner to the U.S. And culturally, Nigerians are very influenced by America, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go to Nigeria, the kids, everybody is Americanized,” said Okunade, who immigrated nearly 40 years ago and became a U.S. citizen. “Nigeria is actually like, you put New York in Lagos. It’s the same thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11802731\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11802731 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41459_IMG_1990-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ismael Okunade works at the restaurant he owns in Oakland on Feb. 12, 2020. Many of his Nigerian customers were surprised by the travel ban expansion affecting their home country, he said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Okunade believes a blanket ban on immigrant visas is unnecessary, because every Nigerian approved to come live in the U.S. already goes through extensive screening by American officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not that easy to get a visa. So they must have vetted people very well before they can get one,” he said. “So to me, it doesn’t make any sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his proclamation, President Trump said he decided to continue allowing temporary travelers — such as tourists and students — to reduce the number of people impacted. Immigrant visas were prioritized, he said, because it’s more difficult to deport an individual from the U.S. if they already have permanent legal residence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Haregu Gaime, immigration attorney\"]‘Do not lose hope. Keep filing those applications and apply for those waivers … do what you need to do, because this country belongs to all of us.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics of the restrictions questioned why the U.S. would ban new immigrant visas in the name of national security but then allow temporary visitors from the targeted countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That doesn’t seem to fit the rationale that we are being fed, that this is because of security threats or because we can’t authenticate documents,” said Babak Yousefzadeh, president emeritus of the Iranian American Bar Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is clearly a discriminatory policy on the basis of ethnicity or national origin or religion,” said Yousefzadeh, a San Francisco attorney representing plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit which argues that the government’s promise to implement a “robust” waiver process is hollow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the initial travel restrictions went into effect, there were mass denials of waivers and only two people were able to obtain the exceptions, according to the lawsuit. But the government has granted more waivers since: A third of the 60,000 petitions considered were approved between December 2017 and 2019, according to the State Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the government has not provided clear criteria or guidelines to apply for waivers, and the process remains “opaque and arbitrary,” said Yousefzadeh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a version of the original travel ban to go into effect while lower courts consider whether it is constitutional. Last month, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia heard arguments from the ACLU and other organizations challenging the ban.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"travel-ban\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the pending lawsuits, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other advocacy organizations “are exploring all the options available to them” on the expanded travel restrictions, said Zahra Billoo, who directs \u003ca href=\"https://www.cair.com\">CAIR\u003c/a>’s San Francisco Bay Area office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent that more countries are being added, that means that more people will be targeted. And so my colleagues are exploring whether or not additional legal challenges are possible,” said Billoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. citizens and green card holders ordinarily have a right to sponsor their family members abroad to come live with them. At the information session for Eritreans in Oakland, immigration lawyer Gaime said the travel restrictions interfere with that. But she asked those affected to be persistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do not lose hope. Keep filing those applications and apply for those waivers … do what you need to do, because this country belongs to all of us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community organizer Meron Semedar, also an Eritrean asylee, had another recommendation for naturalized U.S. citizens at the event hoping to roll back the travel restrictions: register and vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When issues like today, like the [travel] ban come, how do you address it? If you are a citizen you can address it at the ballot, too,” said Semedar, who recently became an American citizen. “Who knows? By voting against Trump, we might have him out of office by November. And that has an impact.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those previous limitations are due to that country’s “lack of cooperation” in accepting their nationals who were ordered deported from the U.S., according to the Department of State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now “Eritreans are not allowed to enter the United States, is essentially what this government is saying,” said Gaime, who initially arrived in the U.S. as a 5-year-old Eritrean refugee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 8,100 Eritreans live in California, with a third of them residing in Alameda County alone, according to census figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said the travel restrictions were imposed because the countries did not meet U.S. security criteria and have deficiencies in sharing terrorist, criminal or identity information. As a result, American officials can’t verify the true identity of all applicants from those nations, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As President, I must continue to act to protect the security and interests of the United States and its people,” said Trump in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-improving-enhanced-vetting-capabilities-processes-detecting-attempted-entry/\">Jan. 31 proclamation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban expansion comes as African immigrants have surged in numbers in recent decades to more than 2 million nationwide, with the largest share of that population being born in Nigeria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ismael Okunade, co-owner of Miliki Restaurant in Oakland’s Laurel neighborhood, is one of the estimated 36,000 Nigerian immigrants living in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of Okunade’s customers were shocked by the new travel restrictions, he said, because Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, is a business partner to the U.S. And culturally, Nigerians are very influenced by America, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go to Nigeria, the kids, everybody is Americanized,” said Okunade, who immigrated nearly 40 years ago and became a U.S. citizen. “Nigeria is actually like, you put New York in Lagos.

"content": "\u003cp>The state of California on Thursday agreed to settle a years-long, high-profile lawsuit that accused the state of depriving low-income students of color of their constitutional right to a basic education — by failing to teach them reading skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under an agreement reached with the plaintiffs in the complaint, \u003ca href=\"https://media2.mofo.com/documents/171205-ellla-t-v-california-complaint.pdf\">Ella T. v. State of California\u003c/a>, the state will provide $50 million specifically to improve literacy in the 75 California elementary schools with the highest concentration of third-graders scoring in the bottom tier of the state’s standardized reading exam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mark Rosenbaum, lead attorney in the lawsuit\"]‘We brought this case because achievement of literacy for all children remains the single most urgent crisis in California today.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, part of which needs the Legislature’s approval, also requires the state to advise public schools how to reduce disparities in discipline of students of color, according to an outline of the agreement provided by Public Counsel, the pro-bono firm representing the suit’s plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Counsel celebrated Superior Court Judge Rupert Byrdsong’s approval of the settlement, calling it “a historic first step forward towards affirming the (right to literacy) for all children in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We brought this case because achievement of literacy for all children remains the single most urgent crisis in California today,” Mark Rosenbaum, Public Counsel’s lead attorney in the lawsuit, said in prepared remarks. “This settlement is a milestone in that struggle. It is not the endpoint, nor was it ever intended to be. No one — and I’m sure Governor (Gavin) Newsom, State Board of Education President (Linda) Darling-Hammond, and (State) Superintendent (Tony) Thurmond agree — should take this as the last word, or anything close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vicky Waters, a press secretary for the governor, said in a statement: “California is committed to closing opportunity gaps by directing extra support and resources to school districts and schools that serve students who need extra help.” She noted that California rejiggered its school funding formula in 2013 to target additional money to schools with a greater share of disadvantaged students, and added that Newsom’s 2020-21 budget would steer $600 million in “opportunity grants” to low-performing, high-poverty schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s announced settlement builds further on these proposed investments and focuses on strengthening early literacy programs, which are critical to a child’s later success in school,” Waters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/achievement-gap-california-explainer-schools-education-disparities-explained/\">California’s attempts at reform have led to mixed results\u003c/a>: While some gaps in achievement have narrowed, the gap between black students and their white and Asian peers has remained mostly stagnant. The slow improvement in results has fueled growing calls from some legislators and civil rights advocates to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2020/01/follow-the-money-are-changes-coming-for-california-school-funding-law/\">strengthen oversight\u003c/a> of how school districts spend extra money intended for students who are low-income, English learners and in foster care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced in Los Angeles County Superior Court in December 2017, the lawsuit listed the California Department of Education and State Board of Education as defendants.

Amy Klobuchar, and even Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the race’s current frontrunner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Warren wasn’t the only candidate on her toes — or the only one attacking Bloomberg. One of the most heated exchanges of the night came when moderators asked Bloomberg about a series of nondisclosure agreements made with women who alleged a hostile working environment at his company. Bloomberg — \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-01-15/michael-bloomberg-women-nondisclosure-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who has refused to release the women from the agreements\u003c/a> — was asked about alleged comments he has made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no tolerance for the kind of behavior the ‘Me Too’ movement has exposed, and anybody does anything wrong in my company, we investigate and if they did anything wrong, they are gone the next day,” Bloomberg said, before going on to list the number of women who worked for him at his philanthropic foundation, his private media company and city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren hit back immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope you heard what his defense was …. ‘I have been nice to some women’ — that just doesn’t cut it,” she said. “He has gotten some number of women, a dozen, who knows, to sign NDAs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren then turned to Bloomberg: “Are you willing to release them so we can hear their side of the story?” she asked to cheers in the debate hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg demurred, saying that both sides agreed to what he later called the “consensual” agreements.

The grants were the \u003ca href=\"https://www.energy.gov/eere/wipo/energy-efficiency-and-conservation-block-grant-program\">largest investment\u003c/a> in energy efficiency and renewable energy at the community level in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting Specific\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• The sweeping energy and social transformation known as the Green New Deal is central to the Sanders campaign, and he has left more fingerprints on it than any of the other senators running for president who co-sponsored it. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who propelled it into the center ring in Washington, got her electoral start working for Sanders in his 2016 campaign. And with its emphasis on social justice, working class jobs, health care and spending without regard to revenue sources, it echoes the ideas of Sanders’ long-time economic adviser, Stephanie Kelton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• On Aug. 22, Sanders announced the most ambitious \u003ca href=\"https://berniesanders.com/the-green-new-deal/\">climate plan\u003c/a> yet among the candidates. It promises to declare climate change a national emergency and put the Green New Deal into action by investing $16.3 trillion in a 10-year mobilization “that factors climate change into virtually every area of policy.” That dollar figure is far higher than what other candidates are proposing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• His mobilization includes creating 20 million new jobs in clean energy, energy efficiency and technology, transforming the agricultural system for more sustainable farming and breaking up big agribusinesses and getting to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030, with complete decarbonization by 2050. In doing so, he focuses heavily on environmental justice and equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• To pay for it, Sanders said he would eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, cut back military spending related to oil, increase penalties for power plant emissions and “massively” raise taxes on fossil fuel income and wealth, among other steps. His plan doesn’t specifically mention a carbon tax, though Sanders has long advocated an aggressive one, and a carbon tax was included in the Democratic Party \u003ca href=\"https://grist.org/election-2016/sanders-final-win-climate-action-in-the-democratic-platform/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">platform\u003c/a> in 2016 at his campaign’s behest. He also relies on expected new tax income from the jobs created and a drop in social safety net costs if more people are working. His plan mentions “making the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Sanders’ consistent climate change message can be summed up in a few words: It’s real, it’s here, we caused it and we need to shift the whole economy away from fossil fuels. So he supports nationwide bans on fracking, on new fossil fuel infrastructure and on fossil fuel leases on public lands. He supports high-speed rail, electric vehicles and public transit. He has called for phasing out nuclear energy, and he supports spending money for adaptations to climate change, such as defenses against wildfires, floods, drought and hurricanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Having built his last campaign on small individual donations, Sanders was the \u003ca href=\"https://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/01/11/sanders-first-sign-fix-democracy-pledge-rejecting-fossil-fuel-cash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first presidential candidate\u003c/a> to sign the No Fossil Fuel Funding pledge launched by climate and justice groups in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003cstrong>ICN’s Take\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanders, with his open defense of democratic socialism, defines the leftist boundary of presidential politics while also staking out a populist territory that resonated well in 2016. His explicit aim is to “keep oil, gas and coal in the ground.” Although his signature campaign proposals (Medicare-for-All, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour) aren’t about climate, the Green New Deal allows Sanders to use climate action as a vehicle for his economic and social justice aims. His proposal for a federal jobs guarantee would be tied to the need for workers to build infrastructure to aid in a clean energy transition as well as to help communities with restoration and resilience. Whether or not he emerges as the nominee, his base of voters, and his ideas, will deeply influence the 2020 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cem style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read Bernie Sanders’ \u003ca href=\"https://berniesanders.com/the-green-new-deal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">climate platform\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">InsideClimate News\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, independent news organization that covers climate, energy and the environment.
