Thank you for the info and action to take on paraquat. It's beyond belief that it's still legal to use.

I luv the audio version, so I am disappointed to see so few others listening.

I logged in early and was able to attend the Heather Cox Richardson program and it was great. For anyone who missed it, they promised to send a link to the recording to be shared with others.

Where do I find an audio version of the newsletter? Is there a link in every email version? I’d love to try it. Thanks! Barbara

The LBJ books are great. Just hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for #5.

I read your email every day and realized I've not taken the time to say thank you for all you do. Thank you!!!

I just looove the audio version and hearing your voice. It allows me to multitask and I feel like you, Robert Hubbell and Heather Cox Richardson are walking the dog with me or chatting with me while I’m writing voter registration postcards!

I voted in the poll AND wanted to tell you how much we appreciate you taking the time to record in addition to all you do for democracy.

It makes the newsletter more accessible for those of us who can’t sit still 😂 or those who may be unable to read the print version ♥️

I have been really enjoying the audio version of the newsletter. Thanks for doing it 😁 for anyone who can't find it, it's right at the top, below the title but above the graphic

Yes! This issue is particularly delightful (and poignant) because it features women in honor of Women's History Month. Lots of good, short articles, artwork, and poetry. The full piece on Satish Kumar is inspiring. I adore this magazine!!!

Here’s a great Politics Girl video to share: How well do you know the VP? ( less than 10 min)💙

Jessica: Robert Caro! I have 150 pages left of the biography of Robert Moses, and have discovered why Caro is considered to be in a league of his own. I can only imagine what details, thoughtfully organized and presented, in sterling prose, his multi-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson must entail. Please toss a comment in one of your posts about Volume 1 when you finish it.

I could not understand how Resistbot works more poorly if I tried. Can you either explain the Resistbot process or refer me to somewhere where I can learn how to use Resistbot effectively. Thank you in advance.

I'm truly disappointed with the numbers in your "listening poll." I hope it will not cause you to consider ending it. I know it must be a good deal of additional work for you, something you definitely do not need, but I have to believe your readers, who like me thoroughly enjoy it and find it an aide with the incredible information you provide, would miss it greatly if you stopped. Thank you for all you do! YOU are amazing!

If you ever need a shot in the arm, get a copy of Resurgence and the Ecologist. It is both beautiful and inspiring.
