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>Shasta County in rural Northern California has one of the state’s highest incarceration rates. Ask Robert Bowman what’s going on, and he takes a long, deep sigh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a perfect storm of bad,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowman, director of the county’s program that helps formerly incarcerated people transition back to life outside, identifies three main drivers of crime in Shasta County: high housing costs, untreated mental illness and drug trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are some of the same factors blamed for crime in other California counties that rank among the highest for incarcerated people, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/origin/ca/2020/report.html\">a report released this morning\u003c/a> by the Prison Policy Initiative, a nonprofit that seeks to end mass incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report takes newly available data from California prisons to show where incarcerated people come from — not just their home counties, but their neighborhoods. The group’s stated intent is to show lawmakers where they can better direct public dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighborhoods where incarcerated people come from often have a higher percentage of Black and Latino residents than the state average, according to the report, while the counties that host the prisons are predominantly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effect has been “the siphoning of political power from disproportionately Black and Latino communities to pad out the mostly rural and often predominantly white regions where prisons are located,” the study found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, the most populous counties send the most people to state prison. Los Angeles County had the most people incarcerated, followed by Riverside and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in some counties, though they have fewer total people in state prisons, the rate of incarceration is much higher than the statewide average of 310 per 100,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiny Kings County in the San Joaquin Valley has the state’s highest incarceration rate at 666 per 100,000, the study found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shasta County ranked second among counties that send people to prison, with 663 county residents incarcerated per 100,000 people. The county of fewer than 200,000 is framed by mountains to its north, west and east. People move there for cheap land and open spaces, or burrow further into its hills to escape creeping modernity, Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then we have those who have moved up here for political reasons and I’ll just leave it at that,” Bowman said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one Shasta County census tract that encompasses most of the city of Redding, more than one in every 100 people is in a state prison.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Robert Bowman, director, STEP-UP\"]‘If you have billions of dollars to spend, but yet your community is overwhelmingly ‘not in my backyard,’ then you can get nothing done.’[/pullquote] Disparities also persist in cities like Los Angeles, where the neighborhoods of Watts and Crenshaw have \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/origin/ca/2020/la_neighborhood.html\">more than five times\u003c/a> the incarceration rate of Bel-Air and Brentwood, according to the study’s calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s fewer Beverly Hills in our community,” Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many of the same issues that crop up in Los Angeles and San Francisco are true in far Northern California: homelessness, untreated mental illness and a resistance among locals to new construction or lower-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowman points to a proposed micro-shelter at a Lutheran church in Redding that would serve as transitional housing for up to five people. Neighbors hung a sign on a chain link fence: “Tiny Houses = Big Problems.” The shelter is \u003ca href=\"https://www.redding.com/story/news/2022/05/20/homeless-housing-units-could-open-fall-after-getting-reddings-ok/9843183002/\">expected to open this fall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have billions of dollars to spend, but yet your community is overwhelmingly ‘not in my backyard,’ then you can get nothing done,” Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Prison Policy Initiative report is based on numbers provided by the state of California, which, for the first time in its 2020 census, counted incarcerated people in their home districts instead of the cities and counties where they’re incarcerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to end what opponents called “prison gerrymandering,” which counted incarcerated people as residents of their prison’s county. California ended that practice in 2011 with \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0401-0450/ab_420_bill_20110822_amended_sen_v93.pdf\">AB 420\u003c/a>, signed by former Gov.

As of Tuesday, the results were 56% Yes to the Recall and 44% opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>In rural Shasta County, about three hours north of Sacramento, a Republican county supervisor is the target of a recall election initiated by local militia members and backed by a coalition of Second Amendment supporters, COVID-19 mandate opponents and the State of Jefferson movement, which supports breaking away from California to form its own state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outcome of the Feb. 1 election could determine how far right the local government in this deeply conservative county will move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The target of the recall is District 2 County Supervisor Leonard Moty, who once served as police chief in his hometown of Redding, the county seat. Moty was targeted by angry residents who felt he and two of his fellow supervisors did not push back hard enough on state COVID-19 restrictions that closed businesses and required masks. Some also bristled at mandatory vaccines for health workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the anger expressed by residents, Shasta County has never strictly enforced a mask mandate or fined businesses that ignored orders to close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mandatory mask rules and coronavirus vaccinations are not very popular in Shasta County, where Donald Trump won 65% of the vote in 2020. Like residents of many rural California counties, people in Shasta are strongly Republican, many of them suspicious of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic has been the match that lit a fire here, with angry community members packing county supervisors’ meetings a few months after the pandemic began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Leonard Moty, Shasta County supervisor\"]‘This feels very much to me like the Nazi Party in the early ’30s of Germany, where, you know, they came out with their brown shirts and they intimidated people. They bullied them into silence.’[/pullquote]At one such meeting in August of 2020, Carlos Zapata, a former Marine and member of a local militia group, warned supervisors not to enforce pandemic mandates, which he said were hurting businesses and schoolchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not going to be peaceful much longer, OK? And this isn’t a threat. I’m not a criminal. I’ve never been a criminal. But I’m telling you good citizens are going to turn to real-concerned and revolutionary citizens real soon,” Zapata warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He slammed supervisors for not representing local values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Shasta County, we’re supposed to be red country up here, not blue country,” he said. “Take your masks off. Quit muzzling yourself. Join us. Fight with us against what’s going on in Sacramento.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-29/militia-member-two-others-charged-in-northern-california-attack-on-blm-activist\">Zapata was charged with misdemeanor battery\u003c/a> and disturbing the peace after an altercation with a Black Lives Matter activist.

That’s a huge sum of money for this tiny county, let alone District 2, which has fewer than 22,000 registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past year, as the recall gained steam, Moty has faced personal threats aimed at him, his family and his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This feels very much to me like the Nazi Party in the early ’30s of Germany, where, you know, they came out with their brown shirts and they intimidated people.

As of Tuesday, the results were 56% Yes to the Recall and 44% opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>In rural Shasta County, about three hours north of Sacramento, a Republican county supervisor is the target of a recall election initiated by local militia members and backed by a coalition of Second Amendment supporters, COVID-19 mandate opponents and the State of Jefferson movement, which supports breaking away from California to form its own state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outcome of the Feb. 1 election could determine how far right the local government in this deeply conservative county will move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The target of the recall is District 2 County Supervisor Leonard Moty, who once served as police chief in his hometown of Redding, the county seat. Moty was targeted by angry residents who felt he and two of his fellow supervisors did not push back hard enough on state COVID-19 restrictions that closed businesses and required masks. Some also bristled at mandatory vaccines for health workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the anger expressed by residents, Shasta County has never strictly enforced a mask mandate or fined businesses that ignored orders to close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mandatory mask rules and coronavirus vaccinations are not very popular in Shasta County, where Donald Trump won 65% of the vote in 2020. Like residents of many rural California counties, people in Shasta are strongly Republican, many of them suspicious of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic has been the match that lit a fire here, with angry community members packing county supervisors’ meetings a few months after the pandemic began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And this isn’t a threat. I’m not a criminal. I’ve never been a criminal.

California Report Magazine host Sasha Khokha introduces us to a corner of California that feels more like Jurassic Park than the Golden State.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11882522/the-beauty-bubble-brings-vintage-style-to-the-high-desert\">\u003cb>Finding More than Natural Beauty in Joshua Tree\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Landscapes, vistas, and knotted trees abound in Joshua Tree National Park.

All truck restrictions, including those that banned big rigs carrying flammable cargo, were lifted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans says daytime traffic along a 1.5-mile stretch between Lamoine and Pollard flat may be limited to one lane while crews continue to repair infrastructure damaged shortly after the fire broke out last week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/article/6191/47810/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced\u003c/a> that it was lifting some mandatory evacuation orders along I-5. The orders will remain in place for areas adjacent to two freeway off-ramps that remain closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another milestone of sorts for the blaze, flames advancing on its southwestern edge are close to connecting with the area burned by this summer’s Carr Fire, which consumed 230,000 acres. The Delta fire has already reached the perimeter of another large blaze, the Hirz Fire, which has been burning for a month northeast of Redding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three fires together have burned 330,000 acres — more than 500 square miles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:45 a.m. Monday, Sept. 10: \u003c/strong>Interstate 5 between Redding and Mount Shasta has been reopened, but with travel restricted to one lane in each direction for approximately 17 miles, according to Caltrans in a tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway was shut down from 10 miles north of Redding to about 5 miles south of the town of Mount Shasta last Wednesday after the Delta Fire started in the mountains north of Redding. The blaze has now scorched 47,110 acres and is 5 percent contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said last week the agency will spend about $10 million to fix that stretch of the interstate, work that could take weeks to complete and could likely cause future travel delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1039180829186973697\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:40 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9:\u003c/strong> Fire incident commanders say sunny, warm weather Sunday afternoon allowed the Delta Fire to jump back to life, with the blaze spreading to the south and west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the newly burned area was unclear as the estimated acreage — just under 41,000 acres — wasn’t updated late Sunday. About 2,400 firefighters are working the blaze, which was declared 5 percent contained after part of its eastern edge burned into the footprint of the nearly month-old Hirz Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Delta blaze wasn’t as active to the north and northeast, along the Interstate 5 corridor, that key transportation link remains closed into a sixth day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said in a tweet Sunday afternoon that I-5 will remain closed “until further notice.” The highway is shut down from 10 miles north of Redding to about 5 miles south of the town of Mount Shasta. The principal — and often slow — detour: Highway 299 east from the north end of Redding through Burney, then north and west on Highway 89 to I-5 just outside Mount Shasta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1038889686599532545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews worked throughout the weekend to remove burned trees that could pose a hazard to traffic and to repair guardrails, fencing, highway signs and other infrastructure damaged as the fire moved up the freeway starting just before 1 p.m. last Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repair crews, firefighters and the general public are all coping with dangerously polluted air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point Sunday, the level of fine particulate matter reached the EPA’s “hazardous” level in Redding — a condition in which all people are warned against any type of outdoor activity.

The fire grew by just over 300 acres to 40,903 acres, with containment now at 5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday afternoon Caltrans said a stretch of Interstate 5 will remain closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1038889686599532545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:44 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8:\u003c/strong> The Delta Fire grew overnight to 36,970 acres with zero percent containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol reiterated Saturday that an approximately 50-mile stretch of Interstate 5 between Redding and Mount Shasta remained closed “to preserve life, property and the safety of all motorists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/chpredding/videos/276472326300637/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Facebook post\u003c/a>, the CHP also said there is no projected date for reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said Friday that conditions along the highway will be reassessed on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a public meeting at 6 p.m. today in Lakehead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ShastaTrinityNF/status/1038513365381869568\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7:\u003c/strong> Caltrans says Interstate 5 — the main link between California and the Pacific Northwest — will remain closed through the weekend as the Delta Fire continues to burn near the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoke from the fire — added to the output from nearby blazes that have been burning for weeks — forced health advisories and school closures in Redding and nearby communities. Firefighting officials said Friday night the fire has burned across 31,325 acres — 49 square miles — since it started early Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans says the fire is still burning along parts of the interstate and that crews will need to assess damage along the right-of-way — including the presence of thousands of burned trees that could topple into the heavily traveled route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire “has been jumping back and forth across Interstate 5,” Don Anderson, deputy director for Caltrans District 2, said Friday afternoon. “… What I’ve been telling people is we’re going to take a good, serious look at it on Sunday, just because there’s so much work we have to do in that canyon — and the fire is still active alongside the highway.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said the agency has identified 3,800 burned trees that need to be removed along the stretch of I-5 where the fire was most intense. He said “a significant number” of those are “hazard trees” alongside the roadway that could pose a threat to traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said workers are already moving up the closed road removing the hazard trees, a job he said they may complete by Sunday. Contract crews will take down burned trees that don’t pose an imminent threat, a process that could take about two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said Caltrans already has a $10 million contract in place to replace damaged guardrails, culverts and signs and repave parts of the roadway compromised by the fire’s intense heat. That work can take place after the highway reopens, he said, but will require lane closures that could “hamper” traffic through the area for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://esrimedia.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Minimalist/index.html?appid=ae1e6e1d909d4a73a62d41e61088c430\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans data show that an average of about 40,000 vehicles a day, including roughly 6,000 trucks, use the stretch of I-5 shut down by the fire.

Contract crews will take down burned trees that don’t pose an imminent threat, a process that could take about two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said Caltrans already has a $10 million contract in place to replace damaged guardrails, culverts and signs and repave parts of the roadway compromised by the fire’s intense heat.
