Newsom's Calif. Gov't paid protestors over $100,000,000

Independent journalist Cam Higby has dropped yet another receipts bomb on the Golden State's ruling class, revealing that California taxpayers have been forced to cough up over $115 million to fund what can only charitably be called "left-wing protests," or, more accurately, the organized tantrums of the progressive industrial complex.

The lucky recipient is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), which modestly describes itself as the premier spot for "organizations and people who support human rights to work together for policies that advance justice and full inclusion for all immigrants."

And here's their own humble brag from the website: "CHIRLA has since become one of the largest and most effective advocates for immigrant rights, organizing, educating and defending immigrants and refugees in the streets, in the courts, and in the halls of power.”

Ah yes, "in the streets," the part where your tax dollars apparently buy the signs, the bullhorns, and probably the bail money.

Higby's digging shows CHIRLA wasn't just handing out voter guides; they were knee-deep in GOTV efforts pushing the full leftist agenda, racking up nearly 100,000 voter contacts during the 2020 election. They also boast about wrangling $175 million in taxpayer-funded COVID relief for illegal immigrants through a cozy little consortium of 11 groups (with CHIRLA right in the middle, naturally).

But wait, there's more taxpayer-funded fun: a high school program designed to churn out the next generation of "activists" (because nothing says education like mandatory radicalization), a college mobilization push for mass amnesty legislation, and a charming "Rapid Response" network explicitly aimed to “shut down detention centers.”

Because nothing screams "humane" like trying to dismantle immigration enforcement with other people's money.

Higby has made it clear this is merely the first domino in a long line of "non-profits" that are basically government-subsidized protest mills advancing the most radically left-wing causes imaginable. 

California Democrats have turned the state budget into a slush fund for their activist allies, and the rest of us get the bill.

Your average Californian is out here paying sky-high taxes so the ruling elite can bankroll the very chaos they pretend to be shocked by. It's almost like the whole thing is one giant, self-licking ice cream cone of progressive grift.
