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.
