Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections. This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

Farewell Jane Goodall. We were lucky to have you fighting for so many years. Rest in Power. ✊

let the gourd times roll

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

“Debunked! Trump's Absurd Claim That He Ended Seven Wars” I brought receipts and actual facts:

kudos to @adamserwer.bsky.social who wrote the piece that gets at the core of what's been happening over the last ten months. regular people are standing up, at real risk. elites are folding like cheap umbrellas www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One of their definitions for "violent extremist" is the belief that opposing trans rights “itself constitutes a form of violence" towards trans people "or poses an imminent threat to such persons’ emotional, psychological, or physical safety, including through self-harm or suicide.”

I cancelled my Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions yesterday. #BoycottDisneyABC

Show #17 of 2025: @supernovaska.bsky.social in Virginia. I saw countless amazing performances, hung out with many beautiful people, and even swam in the Atlantic! Best. Festival. Ever. @jokersrepublic.bsky.social @ladyhatchet.bsky.social @rudegirlrevue.bsky.social

I love it when these things happen in my community. 🥰 Salem-area folks, I hope to see you there!

It’s Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and, like every month, we’re here for our trans siblings. Here’s what we want you to know: ☎️ Gender affirming care is suicide prevention. ☎️ #SafeHotlines don’t call the cops without explicit consent. ☎️ The world is a better place with trans people in it! 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Folks in or near Salem, I hope you show up today if you're able. #WorkersOverBillionaires

A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. It’s long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.

We the People — the workers, immigrants, families, Americans — are PISSED and we are rising, with over 1,000 actions across the U.S. today! ❤️‍🩹 #FamiliesOverBillionaires #WorkersOverBillionaires #WeThePeopleArePISSED Find your local protest at www.FiftyFifty.one. #50501movement #SolidaritySeptember

Show #16 of 2025: Cut-Rate Druggist in the basement of Blast Off Vintage in Salem. I'm so glad to have them as friends, and they also rock hard. ❤️

“It is a famine that asks ‘but what did you do?’ A famine that will and must haunt us all,” said UN aid chief Tom Fletcher. Read @premthakker.bsky.social's latest on the UN-backed report declaring famine in Gaza as Israel's genocidal campaign continues: zeteo.com/p/famine-gaz...

Show #15 of 2025: Face to Face at a free show in Portland's Waterfront Park. I do like free.

Some people can’t protest. Some people can’t boycott. Some people have to resist in other ways. Instead of shaming them, work with them. Identify and remove barriers. Build robust networks of community support. Prioritize accessibility, safety and inclusion.

Show #14 of 2025: Weird Al at Edgefield! What an incredibly fun night! I especially loved watching my boys dance and sing along.

One week to go. Still time to sign up or add an additional event! Purchase tix: www.booksbyhippocampus.com/store/hippoc... View all event info: hippocampusmagazine.com/hippocamp25/

MOTHERSHIP. Streaming everywhere now! Recorded in our living rooms and bedrooms by Kerley. Video by our friend Jeff Van Gerwen.

Show #13 of 2025: a fantastic ska/punk lineup for the Less Than Jake summer circus tour in Portland. Catbite, Fishbone and the Suicide Machines. 😍😍😍

Woohoo!! 🎉🎉😍😍

Yay! Thanks for all the support for my event! I can't wait to hang out with everyone.

Thank you thank you thank you to Litowich Law for their Platinum Sponsorship and their continued support from year to year. Without them we could not pay for the artists we bring in. Please give them a call if you ever need a family or estate lawyer! www.litowichlaw.com

Boycott Florida. Call their elected officials and let them know you won’t spend your tourist dollars in a state that has a concentration camp. They’ve turned tyranny into a marketing opportunity and people are falling for it. This is fascist propaganda. It will only get worse from here

MIG Fest is only 13 days from now and we have only 14 tickets left! Get yours before they are gone. www.migfestsalem.com

Turn your passion into action. RSVP today for the first session of the ACLU People Power series on Tuesday 7/8 at 8 pm ET to learn how to organize effectively in your community to defend our civil rights.

Last week, Trump: - launched military strikes against Iran. - called for Republican lawmakers to defund Voice of America. - called Zohran Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic” and said “Democrats have crossed the line” by voting for him.

Show #11 of 2025: The Dollyrots and Go Betty Go at the Twilight Cafe in Portland. A night of badass babes performing catchy punk rock songs was exactly the lift I needed this week.

Every year, this sells out. Every year, I get people asking me too late if there's still a way to get a ticket. GET ONE NOW.

This new song from JER is so 🔥🔥🔥 and perfect for this moment.

If you've ever wondered how we can bring such top-notch bands to Salem, you can thank our generous sponsors like Litowich Law. They have supported us a lot over the years and are a Platinum Sponsor this year. We hope you don't need a family law lawyer, but if you do, call them. www.litowichlaw.com

The Bike Peddler has been such an amazing supporter of MIG Fest since the start and we greatly appreciate their continued sponsorship. If you are in Salem and looking for a bike, bike gear, or repair services, please go give them some business! 🚲

And doubling down by sending in the Marines is also fascism. It just keeps getting worse.

😍😍😍

Long-time activist Randy Wicker celebrated his friends and former roommates, Marsha P. Johnson and Willie Brashears, with a homemade quilt square for our Freedom to Be monument on the National Mall. This Pride Month, we honor all three for their contributions to queer liberation.

Yep, that's right, I'll be talking with Darbie today about @migfestsalem.bsky.social. If you could tune in so that we aren't just talking to ourselves, we would greatly appreciate it. ❤️

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

At the start of Pride Month, a Native American gay man was murdered by a homophobic neighbor. Already the mainstream media is dancing around the reality of the situation. THIS is why we need Pride Month, and inclusive education, and protections for the LGBTQ+ community.

It's official: only 100 tickets remain for this year's festival! If you don't have one yet, you'd better hurry! Come see @badcopbadcop.bsky.social, @mephiskapheles.bsky.social and more at an intimate, small, beautiful outdoor venue in Salem, OR. www.migfestsalem.com

Show #9 of 2025: Son Rompe Pera at the Get Down in Portland. SO MUCH FUN. I haven't danced that much in a long time. Cumbia is the new punk. 😃
