In California, a bill passed in the wake of George Floyd protests now requires the state Attorney General to investigate law enforcement killings of unarmed suspects.

Longer and more intense fire seasons have taken a visible toll on the state, leaving charred forests and flattened towns, but they've also fueled a silent, smoldering, mental health crisis.
