This week's newsletter is chock full of schools news—along with everything else you need to know on LGBTQ+ issues, and lots of ways for you to take action. Thanks for being in community with us. Now go to something fun this weekend! 🌈

Continuing the Fight! Supernova 2025 #wewontbesilentanymore #liverudegirls #rudegirlrevue #supernova2025

"Wrongful conviction and imprisonment is a 'serious public health issue,' according to a new report from the Center for Health Journalism at USC—especially for innocent Black Americans, who are about seven-and-a-half times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent white people."

We are over the moon to have Bad Cop/Bad Cop headlining this year! We were so sad last summer when they had to cancel (boo COVID) and are thankful they agreed to make it up to us this year. ❤️ Get your tickets here: www.migfestsalem.com

These 4 Democrats voted today in favor of disenfranchising potentially millions of voters, severely undermining our democracy. I sure hope their constituents are already planning how to boot them out. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

On this day in 1911, a mine explosion near Birmingham, Alabama, killed 128 miners—nearly all were Black men forced to work as leased convicts.

Next National Day of Action: April 19th. The day before alleged US Marshal Law goes into effect. Get out and protest before it’s Game Over! We are fighting “Idiocracy” Lead, follow or get out of the way.

I am so excited to finally share this lineup with the world! I hope to see many of you out on the farm on July 19!

TOMORROW we will be announcing our lineup for July! Check back here for the announcement tomorrow morning or sign up for our email list to get the news first.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Signs from Salem, Oregon today. #HandsOff

Hands off. ✊🏻

I recently joined my friend Angela on Reel Film Snobs to review 4 of the 5 Oscar-nominated documentaries, including No Other Land, Sugarcane and Porcelain War. These are incredibly important films that everyone should see.

The unconstitutional removal of students is now confirmed to be in Oregon. If you are able, please consider sharing our donating to help this student in need. gofund.me/618d71dc

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Salem folx, I hope to see you at this event Saturday. We can't just sit back and do nothing.

It’s #TransDayOfVisibility and I would really appreciate getting more eyes on this. He’s fighting as hard as he can in his current state, but his fundraiser is only at 35% and even getting 50% would be life changing. #tdov | #transgender | #chronicillness

Trans joy is power. Trans resistance is power. Trans community is power. Together in defiance, we have the power to fight for the future we deserve. 📸 Jordana Bermudez

It's Trans Day of Visibility. This is my friend Rani. It's been a little over a year since she left us. I still think about her constantly. She was very visible while she was alive. I want that to continue now.

Happy Trans Visibility Day! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ Looking to show up as an ally today (and every day!) and not sure where to start? Don't miss this resource from @transequality.bsky.social: transequality.org/resources/su...

Yep

I'm heading to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation so of course I made some zines. Because that's my thing lately.

🚨LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY🚨 @wren-d.bsky.social was forced onto the street by his transphobic parents and desperately needs insulin and shelter. Help us relocate him to a safe home before its too late. More info below, updates to follow: gofund.me/f2afa587 #disability | #trans | #art | #vtuber

Let's go Murphys! ✊🏻☘️ variety.com/2025/music/n...

Folks, tomorrow is the deadline for one of the three passport portals receiving comments on proposed anti-trans changes. Don’t wait: Add your voice on the issue now! transequality.org/news/freedom...

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

Are you on our email list yet? Sign up now to be the first to learn about our 2025 lineup. We will be announcing the lineup on April 8!

We don't all have to be focused on the same fights right now. There are many fronts & fights. The most important thing is that each of us take up one or two. That's really it. Get to ground, find your people, and fight like hell.

Step 1: Erase and detain all the people. Step 2: Kill the planet we all live on. Step 3: Miss your celebration of the end of the world because everyone is dead.

Finally, a winning strategy. 😂

Show #5 of 2025: Omnigone, The Kilograms and Big D & the Kids Table in Portland. Omnigone was great as always, and it was fun to catch up with so many folks in the ska scene who were there.

Ireland. I live here now. It's so nice.
