Here's an explosion of #QueerJoy for you from the Our New World show! In this clip the @plchoir.bsky.social and the Portland Gay Men's Chorus combined to sing "Out of the Darkness (A Place Where We Belong)" from Everybody's Talking about Jamie.
“There's no governor that's done more pro trans legislation than I have, and no one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community," - Gavin Newsom to Ezra Klein, of all people

People need to boycott the US right now.
Don’t wait for these demands to go into place.
Don’t go for the World Cup. Don’t go for the Olympics.
Don’t go to Disney or Vegas or Broadway.
It’s not safe, and your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism.
Vote with your dollar.

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.
The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.
Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

Where you live shouldn’t determine the mental health care you receive. But too often, folks in rural and underserved corners of Oregon struggle because there aren’t enough providers nearby, and the wait for care is too long. (1/3)

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.
I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.
