Bonta said anti-Black crimes were once again the most prevalent, with 513 reported incidents last year. The 240 anti-Asian hate crimes reported in 2021 represented a “skyrocketing” 177% increase from the previous year, he added, when Bonta blamed “the bigoted words of our former president” for turning “a trickle” of racial animosity into “a flood.”

Bonta said that the state also recorded 303 gender-based hate crimes, 197 anti-Latino hate crimes and 152 anti-Jewish crimes last year. He said the new figures reflect “a grim reality” that California’s diverse communities already know too well.

Bonta reminded that the numbers are likely an undercount.

“Still today too many are too afraid to come forward,” he said.

The 2021 increases come after Bonta revealed last year that the 2020 numbers showed double-digit increases against Black and Asian residents.

“The pandemic gave way to an epidemic of hate,” he said.

The home was built in 1929 as a family home for George Pollock, a famed contractor credited with building Sacramento’s iconic Tower Bridge.

Since then, only five families — including the Reagans — have lived in the home, said real estate agent Kim Pacini-Hauch, who is listing it with Re/MAX Gold Sierra Oaks.

“When you drive by, your heart pounds,” she said. “It’s the most beautiful house on the street.”

Pacini-Hauch said she has already given several showings of the property, which has only been on the market since Friday. Though no offer date is set, they expect the property to sell quickly.

Measured at just under 7,000 square feet, the home was designed by Dean & Dean Architects to faciliate hosting and entertainment. The property has multiple formal rooms, seven fireplaces, a dramatic staircase, a large chef’s kitchen and a basement converted to include a wine cellar and media center.

Many of these features were created in 2001, when the current sellers underwent a complete remodel of the home — though many of its original architectural features are still intact, Pacini-Hauch said.

Another highlight, she added, is the backyard. Elegantly manicured English gardens with multiple lounge spaces encircle the home.

“Air resources are asking for additional support including an additional tanker,” Cal Fire said.

The Nevada County Sheriff’s Office issued mandatory evacuations for several areas. You can find those on ZoneHaven .

The sheriff’s office set up a temporary evacuation point at the Madelyn Helling Library in Nevada City.

Wildfire photographer Michael Steinberg was almost at the scene of the blaze when he posted on Twitter, “It’s ripping.”

Steinberg posted an image showing a large smoke cloud rising from mountains in the distance in another tweet.

The Feather River Air Quality Management District said winds were blowing in a southwesterly direction on Tuesday afternoon and blowing the smoke farther into Nevada County.

“Winds are forecasted to shift to east overnight. Wildfire smoke impacts could be possible in Yuba County tonight,” the management district said.

UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain wrote on Twitter: “It’s hot and breezy in the fire zone, and large-diameter fuels (i.e., dead and down trees as well as heavier brush) are extremely dry right now.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

California’s operating budget, which is scheduled for a vote in the state Legislature on Wednesday, includes $20 million for an “Abortion Practical Support Fund” to pay for things like airfare, lodging, gas and meals for people seeking abortions in California. But the money can only be used to help people who already live in California, not people traveling from other states. The fund will accept private donations, but it’s unclear if that money can cover out-of-state travel expenses.

A spokesperson from Newsom’s office said the governor chose to focus on strengthening and expanding California’s existing abortion services. During a news conference on Friday, Newsom noted the budget contains tens of millions of dollars to support the state’s abortion clinics — funding he said could free up their budgets so they could use their own money to help women travel to California.

“We’re being realistic. You’re going to ask, ‘Are we going to pay for everyone’s travel and accommodations for 33 million people, of which 10% may seek care in California?’ Come on. We have to be realistic about what we can absorb,” Newsom said. “It’s not just the government providing and supporting. It’s all of us. It’s you, it’s me, it’s everyone contributing.”

California’s budget includes $40 million to cover abortions for women who can’t afford them, including women from other states who travel to California. But Jessica Pinckney, executive director of Access Reproductive Justice, a California nonprofit that helps women pay for the logistics of an abortion, said travel is often one of the biggest barriers women face in seeking reproductive care.

“Including out-of-state travel is absolutely necessary to reduce the barriers and burdens to those who are coming from hostile states,” she said.

Travel within California is important too, she said, because 40% of the state’s 58 counties don’t have abortion clinics, accounting for 3% of California’s female population. Many of them are low-income.

“There certainly is a benefit to having in-state travel financial support for Californians,” she said. “But the out-of-state piece really gets at the folks who are being impacted by the fall of Roe.”

While the state Legislature will likely approve the state budget on Wednesday, lawmakers can still make changes to it later. The current budget proposal allows the Abortion Practical Support Fund to also accept private donations. Democratic state Sen. Nancy Skinner’s office said they would try to clarify that at least the private money could be used to cover out-of-state travel expenses.

But Pinckney said she and other advocates will ask lawmakers for an amendment to let the public money also cover out-of-state travel expenses.

Pinckney’s nonprofit, Access Reproductive Justice, normally raises between $3,000 and $8,000 per month. Pinckney said they’ve raised about $100,000 in the five days since the Supreme Court ruling.

Still, they helped about 500 people last year. So far this year, their numbers have doubled each month compared to last year. Pinckney said she wouldn’t be surprised if they end up helping 2,000 people or more.

“We need public funding in order to encourage private funders to contribute,” she said.
