Thanks Jessica for all the good news, especially in the "carry water" category! The Biden administration has been busier than given credit for, that's for sure. And even some courts!
Interesting article about Planned Parenthood and the increase in vasectomy appts after the election. I'm curious, I wonder what percentage of men were single VS those in a relationship or married? Either way, I'm very glad to see that more men are taking reproductive responsibilities seriously. It's not just women that are effected when reproductive freedoms are taken away.
Thank you for all your hard work in reminding us every Sunday of all the positives that are happening. Im also so excited that Ben Wikler is running for Chair of the DNC! Here's his announcment - its inspiring! https://www.benwikler.com
Sorry I was late to reply but I added a link to the article about our school board recall on the other thread. Wish there was an overall updated comprehensive one but it is very difficult to get any media to cover local school board election news. Nevertheless we swept our board and secured all seven seats. All are occupied by pro-public education trustees, 6 Dems and 1 Republican(not MAGA) https://voiceofoc.org/2024/02/two-orange-unified-school-board-members-face-march-recall-election/
I just took a second look to make sure and no, it wasn’t in last week’s Extra. Hoping you’ll share our story. It was a labor of love for our community that brought us all together in a powerful and meaningful way. A wonderful side benefit of fighting for good governance.
I would like to know if the Russian money impounded will be given to Ukraine. I understand the interest is being given to Ukraine but is there any reason why Ukraine cannot have it before the Trump administration is in power?
Thanks…I think we all need to write to the current President to implore him to get the FBI to investigate drumpf’s picks for cabinet etc positions. The fathers-in-law of his daughters have been given posts…..yikes
How is it drumpf is carrying on diplomatic relations…I thought we had one president at a time….
Hope you had a restful holiday weekend. I so look forward to these updates to celebrate that there are still people in government who aren’t complete assholes. We have a long fight ahead but I’m ready for it.
thanks for all these hopeful signs that good stuff is happening in spite of ...other stuff. Happy Sunday to you too!
Thanks, Michael!
female Michal - :)
Omg sorry! Michal!
Thank you ,Jessica! The poem, I loved it. And all the good news !
More good news too, President Biden pardoned Hunter! I'm so happy for all of the Biden family.
It's going to be a good week. Hay Hay! Together we can!

Always.

I agree. Especially as it seems to me that the Project 2025 folks are going to want them to marry women they impregnate.
Thank you, Jessica! We needed good news today (and always)! This has brightened our day/week!

Oh believe me I am PRAYING he wins. I will be trying to find ways to lobby for him that others can take if they care to.
The poem is beautiful, and the good stuff almost as much so. Glad you had some time off.
Thanks Dave. It was medicinal.

This is great! Did I put this in last weeks ? I think I did?

Any thoughts about the North Carolina voting totals?
Trump wins easily 51-48 yet all 3 Statewide races went to Democrats-Governor,Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General
Hard to imagine a MAGA voter marking a ballot for Trump and then 3 votes for Democrats…
Is it possible to determine how many single shot ballots for Trump?
You are my optimism pill every day .thanks
John have you read Robert Hubbell’s newsletter debunking this?
On it
Any idea when the vote is disempower the newly elected Dems in NC?
I would like to know if the Russian money impounded will be given to Ukraine. I understand the interest is being given to Ukraine but is there any reason why Ukraine cannot have it before the Trump administration is in power?
Not sure— Ill keep an eye out for more info
I would LOVE to know that as well. The sooner the better!
Light, meet Tunnel.
Thanks, Jess!
Love that.
Asking you, Jess -- would you please encourage your subscribers and followers to call their 2 senators ?

Thanks, Susan.

Onward🕊
It’s disturbing and will grow more so. We will really have to practice accepting the things we cannot change and changing the things we can.
Ahhh…part of the “serenity prayer” that you used there. So true.
Hope you had a restful holiday weekend. I so look forward to these updates to celebrate that there are still people in government who aren’t complete assholes. We have a long fight ahead but I’m ready for it.
It is gonna be a long fight and we will need to be very resilient, but I know we can do it
