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.

I’m outside of the Placentia Yorba Linda High School where the anti-LGBTQ Protect Girls Sports hate crew is holding a press conference. The goal of this year’s push is to ban trans people from accessing public bathrooms.

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

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.

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.

🧵1/ Update: Conejo Valley Days Parade cancelled after significant community backlash around 805 Patriots involvement.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE

The dildo brigade is at the Fuck ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles today outside of the detention center

🧵1/ CVA is identifying Brad D. Imrie (Camarillo CA) as the 805 Patriots club dipshit who coal rolled elderly people and kids peacefully demonstrating against ICE. (Video to follow) 805 Patriots was accepted to participate in the Conejo Valley Days parade.

🧵 🚨 Community Alert 🚨 Last week, Charles Dimauro’s 805 Patriots (the MAGA flag truck club) announced they will be parading in the 2026 Conejo Valley Days Parade.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has caved on his latest threat against Iran, abandoning yet another deadline as his ultimatums lose their teeth.

So thinking one step ahead. The purpose of the new war crimes is likely to induce Iran to carry out a terrorist attack inside the United States. (4/17)

As we were doing final edits on this piece, Feucht landed in Nigeria. Since then he’s been inserting himself into the crisis. He’s now claimed “it’s over” because he prayed about it. He also claims to have raised 100k. Due to recent accusations he’s presenting them with a massive check- for the gram

Artemis 2 takeoff. Good morning Blue Sky

If you do the sound mixes for certain “music festivals“ in cold weather, this song must be added.

Christian Nationalist pastor Ché Ahn, who's running to be Governor of California, spent Sunday healing people by... blowing on them. Fellow preacher Hank Kunneman then delivered a wild prayer directing people to support him.

Sean Feucht is taking being sued really well. :)

UFC FBI: The UFC is working with Kash Patel and the FBI to train agents in MMA techniques. While it’s not unheard of for law enforcement work with martial arts instructors to train agents, I think we need to talk about this guy, Ali Abdelaziz. (Also note their UFC FBI branded gear.) 1/8

Cam Higby copies Nick Shirley in coming to CA to duplicate their MN tactics to legitimize authoritarian crackdowns on a blue state. Shirley was celebrated by OC Lincoln club + SD activist/operatives like Jenny Le Rou. Higby, 2 was seen w/an older blonde woman, maybe realtor/radio host Lori Mills.

Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity. Some have even called it blasphemy. But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/right-wing-a...

Arthur Schaper, paid hate monger who works to criminalize LGBTQ existence, ban books, and prevent schools from having health care centers will be speaking in West Hollywood on March 29.

theriversidewatch.wordpress.com The rejection of fishy bigot in Riverside County is a sign that the kids are alright.

🧵1/2 Sheriff Fryhoff lies about being transparent. He had to be sued to release video from the Glass House ICE raid. He only released a portion and blurred deputies’ identities so they appear masked, same as the ICE agents VCSO was there to protect. firstamendmentcoalition.org/news/post/fa...
