"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

The microblogging platform has stayed largely the same for years. Only \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/974173496/twitter-tests-new-products-and-experiments-like-super-follows\">recently has it introduced new features\u003c/a>, such as Twitter Blue, a subscription service for frequent users, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/06/11/1005304644/social-audio-began-as-a-pandemic-fad-tech-companies-see-it-as-the-future\">Spaces, for audio chats\u003c/a>, as part of an ambitious effort to more than double annual revenue and attract new users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter has just over 200 million daily active users, a common industry metric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that strategy to be bold and right,” Agrawal wrote in a note to Twitter employees on Monday. “But our critical challenge is how we work to execute against it and deliver results – that’s how we’ll make Twitter the best it can be for our customers, shareholders, and for each of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agrawal joins a growing group of major tech-sector CEOs who are Indian American, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen and IBM CEO Arvind Krishna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He takes the reins of Twitter in a time of controversy. Twitter was caught up in the heated political atmosphere leading up to the 2020 election, particularly when it banned former President Donald Trump following his incitement of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Dorsey defended the move, saying Trump’s tweets after the event resulted in a risk to public safety and created an “extraordinary and untenable circumstance” for the company. Trump sued the company, along with Facebook and YouTube, in July for alleged censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that Twitter took too long to address hate speech, harassment and other harmful activity on its platform, particularly during the 2020 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he’s actually stepping away from Twitter this time, Dorsey leaves behind a mixed legacy,” said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights. “A platform that’s useful and potent for quick communication but one that’s been exploited by a range of bad actors, including former President Donald Trump, who did his best on Twitter to undermine democracy — until Dorsey’s people finally had enough and shut him down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Twitter began with a tweet sent by Dorsey on March 21, 2006, that read “just setting up my twttr.” Twitter went through a period of robust growth during its early years, but as its expansion slowed the San Francisco company began tweaking its format in a bid to make it easier and more engaging to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey became Twitter CEO in 2007, but was forced out the following year. He returned to the role in 2015. In his goodbye letter, Dorsey said he has “worked hard to ensure this company can break away from its founding and founders” and that to focus too much on whether companies are led by their founders is “severely limiting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jack/status/1465347002426867720\">Dorsey shared an email to staff announcing his departure on Twitter\u003c/a>, describing it as “a tough one” but as his own decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There aren’t many companies that get to this level. And there aren’t many founders that choose their company over their own ego,” he wrote. “I know we’ll prove this was the right move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press reporters Michelle Chapman and Tali Arbel contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Only \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/974173496/twitter-tests-new-products-and-experiments-like-super-follows\">recently has it introduced new features\u003c/a>, such as Twitter Blue, a subscription service for frequent users, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/06/11/1005304644/social-audio-began-as-a-pandemic-fad-tech-companies-see-it-as-the-future\">Spaces, for audio chats\u003c/a>, as part of an ambitious effort to more than double annual revenue and attract new users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter has just over 200 million daily active users, a common industry metric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that strategy to be bold and right,” Agrawal wrote in a note to Twitter employees on Monday. “But our critical challenge is how we work to execute against it and deliver results – that’s how we’ll make Twitter the best it can be for our customers, shareholders, and for each of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agrawal joins a growing group of major tech-sector CEOs who are Indian American, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen and IBM CEO Arvind Krishna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He takes the reins of Twitter in a time of controversy. Twitter was caught up in the heated political atmosphere leading up to the 2020 election, particularly when it banned former President Donald Trump following his incitement of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Dorsey defended the move, saying Trump’s tweets after the event resulted in a risk to public safety and created an “extraordinary and untenable circumstance” for the company. Trump sued the company, along with Facebook and YouTube, in July for alleged censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that Twitter took too long to address hate speech, harassment and other harmful activity on its platform, particularly during the 2020 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he’s actually stepping away from Twitter this time, Dorsey leaves behind a mixed legacy,” said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights. “A platform that’s useful and potent for quick communication but one that’s been exploited by a range of bad actors, including former President Donald Trump, who did his best on Twitter to undermine democracy — until Dorsey’s people finally had enough and shut him down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Twitter began with a tweet sent by Dorsey on March 21, 2006, that read “just setting up my twttr.” Twitter went through a period of robust growth during its early years, but as its expansion slowed the San Francisco company began tweaking its format in a bid to make it easier and more engaging to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey became Twitter CEO in 2007, but was forced out the following year. He returned to the role in 2015. In his goodbye letter, Dorsey said he has “worked hard to ensure this company can break away from its founding and founders” and that to focus too much on whether companies are led by their founders is “severely limiting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jack/status/1465347002426867720\">Dorsey shared an email to staff announcing his departure on Twitter\u003c/a>, describing it as “a tough one” but as his own decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There aren’t many companies that get to this level. And there aren’t many founders that choose their company over their own ego,” he wrote. “I know we’ll prove this was the right move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press reporters Michelle Chapman and Tali Arbel contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I’ve worked in this building under three different supervisors in different capacities over the last decade or so and then across the street with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department for several years.

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco\"]‘Deliberately misgendering a transgender person isn’t just a matter of opinion … Rather, it’s straight up harassment. And, it erases an individual’s fundamental humanity.’[/pullquote]The ban on deadnaming violates employees’ rights to free speech, the court ruled Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The law compels long-term care facility staff to alter the message they would prefer to convey,” the court reasoned, adding that the ban “burdens speech more than is required” to reach the state’s objective of eliminating discrimination, including harassment on the basis of sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to residents other than by their preferred gender “may be disrespectful, discourteous, and insulting,” Associate Justice Elena Duarte wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel. But it can also be a way “to express an ideological disagreement with another person’s expressed gender identity.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pronoun provision at issue here tests the limits of the government’s authority to restrict pure speech that, while potentially offensive or harassing to the listener, does not necessarily create a hostile environment,” she wrote, adding italics to “potentially” and “necessarily.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, who carried the law, said deliberately deadnaming someone is actually an act of erasing that person’s humanity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Court’s decision is disconnected from the reality facing transgender people,” Wiener said in a statement. “Deliberately misgendering a transgender person isn’t just a matter of opinion, and it’s not simply ‘disrespectful, discourteous, or insulting.’ Rather, it’s straight up harassment. And, it erases an individual’s fundamental humanity, particularly one as vulnerable as a trans senior in a nursing home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Chavez Zbur, executive director of Equality California, which bills itself as the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, said using the wrong name and pronoun is “a hateful act that denies someone their dignity and truth” and can cause depression and even suicides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both said they will fight the ruling, without being specific on what that would mean. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is a decision for the state attorney general’s office, which defended the law in court, said Equality California spokesman Joshua Stickney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='transgender']The attorney general’s office said it is reviewing the decision and considering its next steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appeals court upheld a second challenged portion of the law prohibiting facilities or employees from assigning rooms based on anything other than a transgender resident’s gender identity.

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, and Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, would prohibit new permits for hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, and block companies from renewing existing permits for the controversial technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would do the same for several other oil production methods, but not for traditional oil and gas drilling, which is responsible for most petroleum production in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The techniques subject to the moratorium would be barred altogether starting in 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is time that California’s leaders take on the state’s behemoth oil industry,” Ann Alexander, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement announcing the proposal along with the two state lawmakers.

Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco']‘Extracting massive amounts of oil, particularly with destructive techniques such as fracking, is totally inconsistent with California’s commitment to a sustainable climate future.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council is one of six environmental groups that supports the bill. The organizations have emphasized for years that oil drilling poses dangers to the environment and public health — especially to communities of color and low-income residents. They note that some of the methods, like fracking, can cause earthquakes, water contamination and oil spills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extracting massive amounts of oil, particularly with destructive techniques such as fracking, is totally inconsistent with California’s commitment to a sustainable climate future,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s time to transition away from these oil extraction methods, protect our community’s health and water supply, and create a brighter future for out state and our planet,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industry groups representing oil companies will likely lobby aggressively against any new limits on oil production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Western States Petroleum Association and the California Independent Petroleum Association have said in the past that proposals to ban fracking and other drilling techniques will mean oil workers will suffer and California’s reliance on fuel from sources outside of the country will increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups say bans on oil drilling will hurt consumers; that demand for gasoline in the state is too high to cut down on oil production; and that California is not set up yet energize enough electric cars and will need to rely on fossil fuel for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also say environmentalists have misled the public about the dangers of well stimulation often done deep under the ground, far away from drinking water sources, and in remote parts of Kern County. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after the proposal was released, the head of the California Independent Petroleum Association called the bill “legally questionable” and said it would kill thousands of union jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shutting down energy production under the toughest regulations on the planet will devastate the economies of oil producing regions — especially the Central Valley — and make the Saudi royal family even richer while eliminating the industry that is investing in the innovation needed to significantly reduce the state’s carbon footprint,” said Rock Zierman, the association’s president, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor unions that represent oil industry employees have also raised concerns that the state curtailing petroleum production could hurt quality, high-paying blue-collar jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Wiener and Limón bill would also bar all new or modified permits for all oil and gas production, including the most traditional methods, from taking place within 2,500 feet of homes, schools, health facilities, dormitories and prisons by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oil production in and near our communities has had long-lasting health impacts,” Limón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar effort to create buffer zones around oil and gas wells \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-13/setbacks-legislation-california-oil-gas-production-environmental-protections-newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">failed\u003c/a> in the state Legislature last year after pushback from the oil industry and labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also calls for the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), which regulates the industry, to help transition oil employees away from drilling. The division would offer incentives to well remediation contractors to hire former oil workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last September, Gov. Gavin \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11839533/gov-newsom-wants-to-ban-gas-powered-car-sales-by-2035-is-this-a-big-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsom called on state lawmakers\u003c/a> to develop legislation that would eliminate new fracking licenses by 2024 — but at least one top state lawmaker wants to go further. [aside tag=\"fracking\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Henry Stern, D-Los Angeles, chair of the Natural Resources and Water Committee, told KQED that state lawmakers needed to create a package of legislation that\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11839879/not-just-fracking-cut-all-oil-drilling-in-california-says-key-lawmaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> limits multiple kinds of oil drilling, not just fracking.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in part because the technique makes up a small portion of oil field production.

These include \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/catrionastew/status/1301977918000701440\">luridly anti-Semitic memes (warning: this content may be upsetting)\u003c/a> designed to stoke a variety of prejudices, along with rage over pedophilia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who are spreading misinformation, people who are obsessed with fake conspiracy theories, they’re the ones with no boundaries. They don’t care. They’ll say anything about anyone,” said Wiener, who estimates he’s received more than 500 death threats since he introduced SB 145.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said one person threatened to decapitate him and send his head to his mother. Wiener said he informed law enforcement and contacted Instagram and Facebook to take down offending posts and accounts, but to little effect. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702239/why-its-so-hard-to-scrub-hate-speech-off-social-media\">Hate speech policing\u003c/a> is a game of whack-a-mole, and in recent weeks, the threats have moved to Reddit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1291406903684157441\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that matter, fact-checking misinformation is also a game of whack-a-mole.

But severe harassment, threats of violence, death threats — in American society, that’s not something that we should learn to tolerate and accept,” said Seth Brysk, a regional director for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.adl.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anti-Defamation League\u003c/a>, which closely follows all types of hate speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brysk said Wiener would be a target of QAnon even if he weren’t a gay, Jewish Democrat running for reelection in San Francisco, although it does figure in to the heinous language and imagery aimed at Wiener online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger problem, Brysk said, is the normalization of violence in political discourse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener isn’t the first California lawmaker to find himself the target of weaponized misinformation. State Sen.
