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.

Screenshot from 2023 CVA twitter post: Conejo Valley Antifascists @CAntifascists So to summarize: Brian Bernstein, is the son of Beth and Timothy Bernstein and is the same individual who tore down and stole a "Nazis Not Welcome" banner in Newbury Park in August 2022 on a White Lives Matter "day of activism."

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.

Timothy Bayne Bernstein California Offender Registry screenshot showing charges of Lewd Or Lascivious Acts With A Child Under 14 Years Of AgeLA TIMES article archive: L.A. Times Archives Oct. 13, 2001 12 AM PT FROM A TIMES STAFF WRITER A former youth pastor in Westlake Village was sentenced Friday to one year in jail and five years' probation for lewd conduct with children younger than 14. Timothy Bayne Bernstein, 40, of Thousand Oaks, who was convicted June 8 in Santa Monica Superior Court, also received a suspended 10-year prison sentence, which he will have to serve if he violates his probation, a court clerk said. Bernstein resigned his position June 6 as director of elementary programs at Calvary Community Church, said Denise Davis, a church spokeswoman. Bernstein had been charged with 10 counts of committing lewd conduct with boys between 1987 and 1991. He surrendered to sheriff's deputies in Calabasas on March 30 after a warrant was issued for his arrest, Det. Ronald Williams said. Bernstein has been identified by three victims, but there may be others, Williams said. One victim recently told his therapist that he had engaged in lewd conduct with Bernstein more than a decade ago, Williams said. The therapist, who is required by law to report incidents of child abuse, contacted authorities, opening the investigation that led to Bernstein's arrest, Williams said.

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 · 3mo ago

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.
