    🚨🧵CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT PAYING PROTESTORS OVER $100M I have discovered that the state of California is using taxpayer funds to subsidize non-profit organizations whose core function is to organize protests. CHIRLA (@CHIRLA) has taken over $100M alone in tax-payer funds according to the state expenditure website. Based on their website, CHIRLA's primary function is protest-related activities and left-wing advocacy. They have been protesting and advocating since 1986 and take credit for some Newsom policies.

    🚨🧵CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT PAYING PROTESTORS OVER $100M On their website, CHIRLA ADMITS that they engage in electioneering through GOTV and takes direct credit for Newsom's $175M COVID relief aid. If federal or state funds were used for electioneering, this may be a SERIOUS crime. There's no way of telling whether this occured without looking at their books.
