Hello Habibis we are at the TURNING POINT US GAY drag show in fucking Salt Lake City tonight. The show’s a benefit for the ACLU. Full disclosure: we purchased tickets in order to report on it because we couldn’t get a response from their media person

7/8 Mikey Taylor is an elder at Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel and remained a supportive member when Rob ignored covid precautions, espoused hatred towards LGBTQI+ and Immigrants, and protected and excused members who sexually abused children.

5/8 MAGA is the party of extremism, hate, and pedophilia. Our own Conejo Valley example is Godspeak Calvary Chapel, with a documented history of Transphobia, racism, and protecting people who have engaged in child rape.

2/8 David Johnson is a pastor of Live Oak Christian Fellowship on Maricopa Hwy in Ojai, CA. From his church’s facebook account he preached that the support of Trans people is hatred of God. No surprise he endorsed the hateful rhetoric of Charlie Kirk.

SoCal this weekend hosted 2 major right wing events— Lincoln Network’s Investor summit- held @the Dana Point Waldorf Astoria, + Council for National Policy’s annual mtg. 2 billionaire funded right wing networks dedicated to destroying democracy, featuring the most mediocre minds of our time.

Nick Shirley is a malevolent tool being used by the administration and its supporters to manufacture material justification for militarized attacks on Democrat run states. Right wing consultant Jenny La Roux hyped Shirley’s arrival in CA saying her co had given him material to “investigate.”

Mediaite: Trump was ruthlessly trolled with a 10-foot-tall Iran war “Participation Trophy” that mysteriously appeared Monday morning on the National Mall. Taking credit for the new landmark was the guerrilla artist group, Secret Handshake. This is some A+ trolling! 😅 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

4/6 Beth Bernstein is also the mother of Brian Bernstein who was exposed by CVA in 2023 after he tore down and stole a "Nazis Not Welcome" banner in Newbury Park in August 2022 on a White Lives Matter "day of activism." It’s a little hard for us to see Beth as an authority on mothering.

3/6 If you followed CVA when we were on twitter, you’ll remember Beth Bernstein is married to Timothy Bayne Bernstein, a former Westlake Village Calvary Church youth pastor who was sentenced in 2001 to one year in jail and five years' probation for lewd conduct with children younger than 14.

🧵1/6 🚨 This morning it was announced that Beth Bernstein will be facilitating a “Biblical Motherhood” event at Pastor Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park. Rob McCoy is a co-founder (with now deceased Charlie Kirk) of TPUSA faith.

NEW from LCRW: @jwcroxton.bsky.social & I went to Redwood City yesterday where WoLF and a bunch of other TERF/anti-trans hate groups stank up the library frothing at the mouth about how allowing people to be trans will cause "the destruction of the human race."

Many of the babies’ autopsy reports were clear: Vitamin K deficiency was the immediate cause of death, or contributed to it. The reports also included details about parents refusing the vitamin K shot, a long-standard injection, for their newborns.

This is the end of the thread about Jonathan Keller, CEO of the California family council. It’s the most ominous clip to me, he talks about how “God will not be mocked “ in context with trans people. Keller was at Yorba Linda High to protest one trans child at a track meet.

Kelly Stuart@skyspider.bsky.social

Jonathan Keller “ God will not be mocked”, when I ask what he means- yes, in his view, Trans people are “ mocking god”. “The wages of sin are death”. An ominous point of view about a tiny vulnerable group of people from a well funded organization.

That’s me on the phone with ACLU attorney Weston Rowland. After Weston came down to help- he also got arrested. The LAPD arresting an ACLU attorney- who also does work for the LA Press Club- is truly an unfathomable escalation.

Steve Hilton campaigned tonight at GodSpeak Calvary Chapel—Rob McCoy’s church. McCoy, Charlie Kirk, and Gina Gleason are all members of the Council for National Policy, a behind-the-scenes network of donors and operatives shaping politics. Pay attention to who’s driving the agenda.

That we have learned the shooter was part of a SoCal conservative Reformed church should dispel what KL said about “crazy” and “led to believe…” It’s clear from the manifesto that Allen wasn’t “liberal” but responding to conservative theology he knew he was offending

Matthew Boedy@matthewboedy.bsky.social

If they are “crazy” then they are not “led to believe” anything. They are already “crazy,” right? And if they are “crazy,” how the “lies” be linked as cause of their behavior? Crazy doesn’t come with cause.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

In the last year, ICE has deported nearly half a million people. Killed dozens. Disappeared tens of thousands. And it's only the beginning. Unless we stop it.
