Democracy in Arizona, Reproductive Rights in Missouri, and Good News For Lefties (and America)

Positive, daily news for democracy lovers! In this episode of "Good News for Lefties," host Beowulf Rochlen brings you a collection of uplifting stories that highlight the resilience of democracy, the fight for reproductive rights, and the power of community action. From a federal judge blocking mass firings in the Trump administration to the resumption of abortions in Missouri, we explore how progressive values are making a comeback. We also discuss the recent court rulings that protect voting rights in Arizona and the alarming rise in book bans targeting LGBTQ characters and people of color. Plus, we celebrate the launch of Bookshop.org's new e-book platform, challenging Amazon's monopoly, and the innovative transformation of former border wall shipping containers into foster homes. Join us for a dose of positivity and inspiration as we navigate the daily news landscape with a leftist lens.
