Good News For Lefties (and America!) - Daily News for Democracy Workers’ Rights, Judicial Rebukes, Union Wins, Solar Energy, and Butterflies on the Rise

In this episode, we cover the reinstatement of nearly 25,000 fired workers under the Trump administration, a major win for labor rights, and Chief Justice John Roberts’ sharp rebuke of Trump’s calls to impeach judges. We also celebrate the Oklahoma Supreme Court pausing a controversial Bible purchase for public schools, the Columbus City Schools teacher union kicking off contract talks after their historic 2022 strike, and a Virginia bill that could spark a small-scale solar energy revolution. Plus, we marvel at the stunning comeback of monarch butterflies in Mexico. It’s democracy in action, progressive wins, and a little bit of hope—all in one place.
