S.C.E.W.

A little afternoon follow the $ adventure with local fascist, vocal accelerationist and big Franco fan indie “journalist” Anthony Cabassa. First, a little taste of Anthony’s politics:

🚨NEW RESEARCH DROP WITH ACTION ITEMS🚨 Orthodox Icons Corona and Southern California Active Club: The unholy fascist alliance

Will Newsom sign the bill? Lawmakers are joining immigrant rights groups in urging Governor Newsom to sign a bill that, if implemented, would ban California police, sheriffs and other law enforcement from taking on second jobs that involve “arresting, detaining, transporting, or deporting” people.

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.”

Happy Fuck ICE Friday! From our comrades in Echo Park Los Angeles.

A little dig into Trump administration’s top Civil Rights’ lawyer at the DOJ, Harmeet Dhillon, turns into a full on excavation revealing predatory law-fare in Southern California and connections to 2026 Ca State Sup. Candidate Sonja Shaw. Read it here- open.substack.com/pub/thisweek...

Watch for legislation coming to your state: proof of citizenship to vote, limits on early voting, AI/data center giveaways, fossil fuel protections & school privatization. Stay alert. www.exposedbycmd.org/2026/07/23/a...

“The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine is an Army veteran who has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to close relatives.” www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-sh...

“I mean, this is random Trump bull****,” Bruce Schneier, a security technologist at Harvard University, told Democracy Docket. “He wants to destroy democracy, and this is the next step.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Whatever he says tonight is meaningless. How about if no one watches or responds at all. No takes. No analysis. No content. Let’s just keep defending communities and taking care of each other.

The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

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

ALL EYES ON ICE

It was never about female sports

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 me @thestranger.com — and for the Queer print issue (bb’s first print 🥹): NAR rising stars Ross Johnston and Jay Koopman have joined Pursuit PNW. Special thanks to @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social @katherinestewart.bsky.social for their time www.thestranger.com/news/gods-ar...

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." Also one got salad thrown at her face

GEO Group, a private prison company, signed a contract to give ICE use of Delaney Hall and “support services” like security, maintenance, food services, etc. in exchange for over $60 mil/yr But it is the detainees—not GEO Group—who actually do that work, for free ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This weird-ass guy, Ezra Cooley, says his home church is Athey Creek Church in West Linn. He rides his horse around to children charity events and hands out Bibles and Christian inspirational literature. This week he was hanging out with TommyBoi and Serena Devoogd (Proud Boy Tarrio's girlfriend).

Friends and #Resisters I strongly urge you to check out the #UnfuckAmericaTour page, to discover the good trouble they’re getting into, in order to fight Turning Point USA. Incredible stuff! share.google/EoVC6u9x0vxt...

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 islamiphobic racist creep took unconsentual pictures of me and my partner while we were out getting groceries Would anyone in the socal area be able to help me try to find out who this guy is ? Fuck i will not stand for this shit move in pairs and watch your back We keep us safe #socal

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.

Evelina Sarian, a Glendale city council candidate running on “a safer, stronger and family friendly Glendale” should probably work on herself first.

you're telling me our bench is so weak *this* is the best we can do? a guy who kept an SS symbol tattooed on his one human body for decades?

TPUSA is expanding again open.substack.com/pub/matthewb...

TPUSA’s professor watch list has disappeared from its website. Its presence has caused numerous assaults and threats to college professors across the nation. TPUSA ifs feeling the pressure. @matthewboedy.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DX-dlL8...

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.

👏🏻

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

New from me @lcrw.news This time last week I was on my way to the @lapressclub.bsky.social to see an advanced screening of Moms Club- I was hoping for a quiet chill night. However, the documentary came to life in the Q&A leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/con...

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.
