πŸ—£οΈπŸ“’If you know me IRL or through #a2council, you know I make videos to help unelect bad local politicians. Cupertino, CA has been taken over by some of the worst NIMBYs in the country. This election may determine the final fate of segregation in the US.

You haven't seen new videos from me in the last few weeks because I have doubled down on researching current Cupertino Mayor "build a wall" Scharf and his sidekick Kitty "Q Anon, but for Apple Engineers" Moore. They are both seeking seats on council.

Kitty Moore gets a weird nickname because she's so obsessed with watching her property value increase, she makes flippant claims about Apple employees who would rent new housing bringing prostitutes to the suburbs. She says the things even Trump won't say.
Then you have R Wang, who is Scharf's BFF on the Planning Commission & possibly the biggest bully & harasser in Silicon Valley, a place where every tech CEO you've ever made fun of lives. He's done some terrible things, like sign a mom up for porn emails:

The mom who Cupertino Planning Commissioner R Wang signed up for porn emails was a Redwood City Council candidate at the time. This was over a policy dispute involving water recycling. He seems to have gotten creepier since then.

If any of you know Sunnyvale housing activist, @rf_mehlinger, then you know exactly why it is unacceptable that Steven Scharf and Kitty Moore have failed to call for R Wang's resignation. Image
Why do Scharf & Moore show someone so off-kilter so much loyalty? Because he's willing to go to bat hard to block new housing in Cupertino. Check him out saying that 24 million dollars of taxpayer money on state fines is a "small price to pay" to do that.

I used to live tweet Cupertino Planning Commission meetings in the before times. R Wang didn't like that. Moments after this photo was taken, he called a short break and tried to corner me, but I knew who he was, so I made a break for the door. Hella creepy. Image
Their flippant attitude towards wasting tax dollars is one thing, but underlying Scharf, Moore, and Wang is a worldview that not only mimics all of Trump's most racist dog whistles, it paves the runway for landing them in our most progressive communities. BARFUN.org
Steven Scharf is the cornerstone of segregation in Silicon Valley, and voters in Cupertino deserve to know who he is and why I'm asking you to help me defeat him and Kitty Moore through BARFUN.org. A $5 donation and a RT goes a long way in a city council race.
I handle my own research, writing, video production, and social media. I'm taking no cash out of this. I've got a lawyer & friend to review content for me, and I'm using the rest of the donations on targeted ads like this in Cupertino. I'm counting on donations & RTs to amplify.
Organic shares of my videos helped keep 5 NIMBYs off Ann Arbor's Council (#A2council). 1 was a Trump supporter who was there for 9 years straight!
Scharf is more entrenched & digital ads can be the difference.

Give me a reason to be doing this in 2 years!

This is what happens when @SenMikeShirkey and @LeeChatfield's supporters go off the Q Anon rails, and start calling the governor literally Hitler, without any pushback from them at all. This is squarely on them. They know how militia adjacent their supporters are.
Anyone who listened to me on @PlanForThatPod 3 weeks ago could have seen this coming. Republican consultants and politicians sanitize militia messaging for cooperative recruitment for both parties. This is the end result. It's predictable.

Entire podcast:
Here is the story in the Detroit News, of course, they failed to hold the Republicans who absolutely could have stopped this if they wanted to accountable.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

I hope you all are invested in whiskey distilleries. From the sounds of people #onhere they are going to be rolling in some dough over tonight.

Trump just gets to talk whenever?
I'm starting to think any of the top five Democrats in the primary would be able to do well in this general.

Governor Whitmer's team is paying attention to the cutting-edge science and up to the minute data that is telling us, especially at colleges, super spreader events are to blame for most COVID-19 infections.

Right wing hacks project in response.

(@VinnieChant @Wellness4You13)
Let's see how long before Tori posts some blue lives matter nonsense while ignoring the fact that coronavirus has killed more cops than anything else this year in America. πŸ€”
Also, Chad writes for @crainsdetroit. This is one of the right-wing adjacent legitimate news outlets that participates in militia and white supremacist sanitation, so the dog whistles filter through, and the unseemly bits are left down a trail of breadcrumbs.

After designing, building & running the most successful petition program ever in MI, the majority white board of the antigerrymandering campaign layered me under a white strategist with ties to the state Dem Party for GOTV. After we handed in 440k signatures.

It kills me daily. ImageImageImageImage
I still built the strategy they followed that allowed them to scale to the biggest campaign in 2018. Bigger than @GovWhitmer. I trained their volunteer leadership to run the programs I built. They could not fail. None of that mattered. Image
My good friend from college, who brought me to the campaign and was executive director, had no real experience going to bat for anyone, and certainly not for me adequately with the board. It literally did not matter what I accomplished for them. Image

Nothing to see here, just #Denver City Council Member Amanda Sawyer using an official government Facebook account to spread far right, racist propaganda to further Trump's message about suburbs being in peril.

She also tries to call out @Yimbyindenver.

It gets worse! Because of course it gets worse! The video features failed mayoral candidate & gentrification posterwoman Jamie Giellis, who lost after a slew of racist social media posts she made previously were unearthed, & she embarrassed herself on @brothajeff's podcast.
You can see Giellis get caught not knowing what NAACP stands for in the video above. Here is one of her racist tweets. The screen grab was taken just before she deleted this old account. Image
