Thank you Steve! On Matt Taibbi's Substack, I started a lively conversation based on two young white men, 20 and 21, who burned rubber driving over a BLM 'mural'--consisting only of those words--painted on the sidewalk in front of Santa Cruz City Hall. The NWOke mob is seeking $100K in damages (far in excess of the budget to paint it originally) and 5 yrs in prison. A black resident says he can't go to work somedays because he's so afraid. Blacks are 1% of the county. Latinos are 33%, but they seem able to go to work. If the kids were black and toppled a statue they found offensive to their heritage, the NWOkers would be lauding them as heroes. If these two kids felt that their lives DIDN'T matter, haven't we just proven it to them?
There are also 285 tents camping next to the County Courthouse, complaining about their accommodations. NWOke activists say we need to be ready for hundreds more. And their point is?
I also just submitted this LTE: In the State of Homelessness editorial, fourteen MediaNews papers asked its editors, тАЬDo people in your area claim that most of the homeless people are from somewhere else, and if your city would just stop all the тАШgreat benefits,тАЩ theyтАЩd go back to wherever they came from?тАЭ These тАШfalse narrativesтАЩ led to their project. But they didnтАЩt answer the question. Were our homeless born in Santa Cruz, do they have family here, were they residents before they became homeless? That would be easy enough to verify by asking for their place of birth and last address. In 2017 CA had 22% of the nationтАЩs homeless with 12% of the population. That indicates at least 10% of the countryтАЩs homeless have come here from elsewhere. In addition to the second highest cost of housing, weтАЩre each taking responsibility for twice our share of the countryтАЩs homeless. And thereтАЩs no end in sight.
Tereza, we need more like you on our team! (edited to spell your name correctly)

They are doing their expected part-- ignorant of their elite mastersтАЩ goals-- to create hate and divisiveness.
