The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
"Together, we will usher in a generation of change. And if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves."
- NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, in his victory speech
As @radiofreeasiapr.bsky.social suspends broadcasting, @mcfaulmike.bsky.social laments the Trump administration shutting down soft power institutions.
"That is such a tragedy…," McFaul says. "We're not going to win this competition with the Chinese and the Russians if we unilaterally disarm."
If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.
So many questions... but for starters, what does 'cinema-style' mean?

Hell yeah Al Green.
America needs you. Right now. She’s drowning in the waters of cynicism and grift. She cries out, but you keep walking by. Don’t look away. Help her.
Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.
They’re going to try to destroy democracy while pretending to save it.
Queer Angelenos: Short notice, but tix are still available for 'The Big Johnson,' the fantastic doc about sexy subversive NYC musician, nightlife icon, and activist Dean Johnson, screening at 4pm in East WeHo today as part of the Slamdance Film Festival.

Yksi kaksi kolme SAUNA!
Still love you Måns Zelmerlöw, but my early pick for this year's @eurovision.tv winner (so long as @melodifestivalen.se does the right thing) is Sweden's Kaj with the super catchy sauna-loving Swedo-Finn anthem 'Bara Bada Bastu' ('Just Take a Sauna').

Somehow it's even more insidious that they'd change his history into misinformation rather than just deleting it. It's a prime example of their disdain for both trans people and the truth.
I noticed this on Albert Cashier's page too. Disgusting and diabolical, not to mention utterly false.
This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.
(Scroll down.)
Absolutely disgusting. The T & Q have now been removed from the National Park Service's page for the Stonewall National Monument, with all mentions of LGBTQ+ changed to LGB. Why is this administration so afraid of trans people that it's denying their very existence?

I know it's a joke, but as a Californian I'm hard pressed to see any downsides to becoming Danish. 🇩🇰

Huge congrats to the 3 award-winning queer films at this year's Sundance Film Festival: Twinless, Come See Me in the Good Light, and Sabar Bonda (Cactus Pears).
Congrats also to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who get name checked in 2/3 of these fantastic winners.
Not this orange a**hole turning a national tragedy into an anti-DEI tirade.
The new 'Wedding Banquet' is an absolute delight! Director Andrew Ahn celebrates a modern queer Seattle family with tender hilarity + excellent performances by Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, the iconic Joan Chen, & the fantastic Yuon Yuh-jung. A new queer classic is born.

Hey @nytimes.com, this very misleading. Technically Victor Willis may be the only member of the group who also founded it with the producers, but he is NOT the last surviving member of the original Village People.
Donations and thanks keep streaming in from the public today to the obviously very appreciative @lafd.bsky.social station across the street. I'm so so proud of these guys and my fellow Angelenos who are recognizing their massive efforts this week.
I live right across the street from a Los Angeles Fire Department station, and after such a difficult week for them and our dear city, it's been so deeply heartwarming to see a steady stream of people stopping today to drop off treats or just offer their thanks to the brave firefighters.
A harrowing evening in Hollywood after this suddenly appeared out my front door. Quickly evacuated alongside everyone in a several mile radius, but so grateful to the LAFD for stopping this fire from tearing through the heart of Hollywood. My heart's with those across SoCal who haven't been so lucky
The fact that the United States seems to be headed towards conditioning the quality of its relationship with its democratic allies on whether or not it has a right-wing populist party in power is not just objectionable, it's a major fucking crisis for the stability of the world.
In my first feature for the UK's @attitudemag.bsky.social, I had the pleasure of interviewing West Hollywood Mayor John Erickson. He's a smart, charismatic and passionate progressive, and having met him has given me far more hope for the future than I might have otherwise had post-election.
