Francophone Gala: What to Expect on Day 2 of Comediablanca
Casablanca- Tonight, the heart of Casablanca is pulsing with laughter and linguistic diversity as the Francophone GALA is taking over the Complexe Mohammed V for the highly anticipated Comediablanca 2025. Starting at 8 p.m., this VIP event is bringing together some of the brightest Francophone talents in comedy for a night of cultural celebration and comedic brilliance. Taking the stage are artists like Roman Frayssinet, Meryem Benoua as a host, Mimo Lazrak, Erick Baert, and many more. Organized under the banner of TENDANSIA, Comediablanca has quickly become a staple in Morocco's entertainment calendar, championing French-language performance and pan-African creative expression. The gala features a curated lineup of top-tier comedians, delivering sharp wit and vibrant storytelling to a diverse audience. Launched in 2024, Comediablanca was built on the idea that Morocco's multilingual reality deserves a multilingual stage. By offering both Arabophone and Francophone galas, the festival reflects the linguistic diversity of Moroccan society, giving equal space to local and international voices. This year's schedule was adjusted to avoid overlap with tomorrow's Wydad AC match against Porta, ensuring smooth crowd management and full focus on the performances. Beyond entertainment, tonight's gala also offers a deeper kind of release. Studies show that laughter lowers stress, boosts immune response, increases social bonding, and enhances mood – making festivals like Comediablanca more than cultural events. They are public moments of joy, solidarity, and emotional renewal. As the Francophone performers step into the spotlight, Casablanca is once again reminded that in uncertain times, laughter remains a powerful tool for unity and resilience. This year's edition emphasizes both inclusivity and exclusivity, with VIP invitations distributed to key partners and cultural influencers. Organizers reminded guests that tickets must be validated through the Guichet app, as third-party resales are not secure or valid for entry. Whether you're here for the punchlines, the people, or the prestige, Comediablanca 2025 promises a night to remember, where laughter becomes a language of unity.

Oregon Republican lawmakers attempt to mirror Trump's trans athlete ban
PORTLAND, Ore. () — President Donald Trump's executive order blocking transgender athletes from competing in women's sports is drawing a variety of reactions — from condemnations to praise — in Oregon and beyond. There are already reported legal challenges following the executive order. However, some Oregon lawmakers are praising Trump's decision, urging similar action on the state level. PDX officials remain committed to sanctuary status 'No men in women's sports' — that's the bold executive order Donald Trump signed at the White House Wednesday. , sparking a heated debate nationwide. Debra Porta is the executive director of Pride Northwest, the nonprofit organization that's behind the annual Portland Pride event on the Waterfront. Porta told KOIN 6 News she believes the executive order will fuel discrimination and harassment for young people. 'Trans women, as a whole, are amongst the most vulnerable people in our country,' Porta said. 'It does real damage. We think, 'Oh it's just sports, it's just whatever.' But, you know, trans kids are at the top of the list for young folks who are vulnerable to suicide attempt — and success.' As part of his executive order, Trump said schools defying the mandate will lose critical funding, with no exceptions. 'America categorically rejects transgender lunacy,' Trump said. The Oregon School Activities Association says in its handbook that it allows students to compete based on their gender identity. Semi driver found guilty after crash that killed 7 KOIN 6 News reached out to OSAA for comment. In response, they said in part they are reviewing the executive order's impact with the Oregon Department of Education: 'The OSAA has been in contact with the Oregon Department of Education regarding the pending executive order and its impact in our state. We will work to review the executive order with our legal counsel and its potential effect on current Oregon nondiscrimination law and association policy. The OSAA will continue to act under the direction of the Association's members and in compliance with federal and state law to provide opportunities for tens of thousands of Oregon students to participate in interscholastic opportunities.' At the same time, some Oregon Republicans are pushing for similar action with two bills mirroring the executive order. That includes Senate Bill 618, which would divide sports by biological sex and ban biological males from female events, with legal action for violations. Supporting lawmakers said it's all about keeping sports 'fair' for women. Oregon House Republican Leader Christine Drazan also introduced LC 3895, a piece of legislation that would require 'schools to designate athletic competitions and extracurricular sports according to biological sex.' It would also prohibit 'biological males from participating in athletic competitions or extracurricular sports designated for biological females.' Porta said the idea of blocking trans people from participating in women's sports is anything but fair and the fight is far from over. 'We have always been here…and we'll always be here,' Porta said. There are several lawsuits already in the works challenging Trump's executive order. On Wednesday, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced he's exploring legal options to protect the rights of transgender people, including access to gender-affirming care.
