POCAAN provides medical care and housing assistance for those in need
During the 1980s and 1990s, the AIDS crisis swept across the world, killing more than 44 million people as of today. Marginalized people, especially Black/Brown, LGBTQIA+, and impoverished people afflicted with the disease, were largely ignored by the government and society during this time, denying them the care that they required. In 1987, the People of Color Against AIDS Network was founded in Seattle to bridge the gap by meeting people where they were. POCAAN began as an organization to provide marginaz

Looking back on Pride’s radical roots: The essential work of Seattle’s Freedom Day Committee
Pride in Seattle today is mostly known for being a citywide celebration. However, before large corporations saw it as an opportunity to covet rainbow dollars, it was also a means for the LGBTQIA+ community to demand broader societal acceptance, raise awareness about community issues like HIV/AIDS, and advocate for legal protections. From the 1980s to late 1990s, a group of community- and politically minded organizers, called the Freedom Day Committee, were at the heart of making sure Pride even happened eve

Bonus Movie: Process
Reece Martin (RMTransit) resurfaces with a discussion with Dr Jonathan English on how process issues affect the quality of transit projects. They call it “engineering issues” vs “phone call issues”.

Hold on to your wigs on the Glamazonian express!
I entered Stop! That! Train! fully aware of what to expect: unfiltered chaos, rhinestones, and an abundance of glitter. This film not only embraces its over-the-top nature — it fully commits to it. It’s a cinematic cavalcade racing down the tracks at full speed, inviting you to join the laughter and fun. The plot? Gloriously ridiculous: a runaway train rockets across the country, with only the most mismatched, over-the-top crew imaginable to save the day. There are double-crosses, mistaken identities, and m

US no longer safe for LGBTQIA+ refugees: A Gay Russian’s story of Queer and Transphobic abuse in ICE detention
According to the Legal Defense Fund, nearly 400,000 ICE arrests across all 50 US states were made during the first 10 months of Trump’s second term. As of April 2026 (the most recent TRAC Immigration data), over 60,000 people were reportedly being held in US detention centers, with 70.8% of detainees having no criminal record. Numerous reports from both US media sources and civil rights groups have since documented the poor and abusive conditions people living in detainment experience. But what still remain
