A Muslim lady in hajib came to my gym 6AM with her husband today. Now, I live in Stevens Point, Wisconsin and only in the last 2 decades has there been any diversity. AT ALL. I am 66...Until I moved to Berkeley when I was 19 I had never even met a black person..or brown or Asian or Indian....

There are some really shitty redneck guys there at that time. One came up to me one time a few years ago and said "I wish somebody would kill you." I am a DEM activist and write lots of letters..Just came up cold and spat that out. November 9th he came up to me and said, 'Jody, isn't it a beautiful day today?" We were of course all sobbing...but I held it together for his assault. I watched this specific jackass today and his eyes popped out, but he was silent.

I intended to introduce myself, but she left before I had the chance. You can bet I will welcome her if she comes again. My monthly letter was published today and guess what it was about...Muslims....

management said he is rich and he is their their bread and butter...and they gave him a pass. When I brought Walker recall signs for my pals to put in their yards, and collected signatures ON LEGAL SIDEWALK outside gym....management went nuts on me and threatened to suspend me........

And my gym is the YMCA...want to guess what the C stands for....

The further North you go the worse it gets. A lot of pretty country full of completely ugly and ignorant people.
