Thank you for keeping me aware of the better news that I often miss due to the endless horrific news that I have to stop reading when I reach my overload quota. Your newsletter really do help.
Thank you, Jess, you do the work and provide the information that gives this 85 year old woman hope for the future of my grandchildren and one great grandchild. I will make every effort to find a march in my area on the 14th.
$105 Million Reparations Package for Tulsa Race Massacre Unveiled by Mayor
The plan, the first large-scale attempt to address the impact of the 1921 atrocity, will raise private funds for housing assistance, scholarships and economic development.
Holy shit Dr Andrews!!!! Can we get at least 50 of her? Please! Just followed her on Bluesky & sent the YouTube to my friends who are too TACO to call Graham. 🙄
Separately, real question. It’s been 7 weeks 3 days since the administration was told to bring back Kilmar. They’ve been defying this decision with zero consequences. Is there more we can be doing about this?
Like everyone, I look forward to these Extra Extras. It really does help me remain motivated. While this edition includes some wonderful news for me one of the most inspiring is the kids from Montana, one of the reddest states in the nation have the courage to sue the trump admin and to stand up for what is right and for their future. We would have a much different nation right now if on only a few GOP members of Congress had this same amount of courage! Let's keep pressing them and not let up for a moments...as all the wins shared here it does make a difference! Also what's up with DeSantis...it looks like he actually did something good? I guess he had no choice since the law was passed unanimously and he just couldn't figure out a way to not sign it, so it must have pained him greatly to sign it.
Annie Andrews is a fantastic candidate!, Still, it's an uphill battle as Graham has $$$$ and protects the oligarchs in his state.
I hope The Opposition finds candidates like that soon, if not already, in every House district, and they get ads out, and get themselves into the community so the voters know them and trust them in November 2026. The time is NOW!
I think there is a lot of work afoot to recruit good candidates. And yes, I agree, that's a next-to-impossible seat to flip. But if anyone can do it she seems like the one.
You are absolutely right...the Dems have to start working hard now...I don't follow enough news and I guess I'm not on the DNC email list so I don't know if they are doing anything at all, and that alone tells me they need to be making a whole lot more good noise.
Jessica, Thank you so much for keeping us informed, helping us to call our representatives with scripts, extra credit, posting good news on Sunday and for your humor, dedication and all around good personhood. I do it all during the week and by Sunday I’m ready for good news. Monday I’m inspired to start again. You are the best.
You save me, Jessica with all of your good news clips. Thank you for doing this. We need all of the hope and inspiration we can find so we can continue this fight. Thank you for all you do to empower and inform us.
That drone raid by Ukraine is amazing on so many levels. Besides TACO boy being kept in the dark 😂 and the Russian air force being severely damaged, this was an act of passive resistance with probably few injuries. Russia is now terrified that there are drones being transported into the country under their noses and I read that inspections are grinding transport to a halt.
To top it off, Zelinskyy no doubt has more drones already deployed in Russia. FAFO.
I always love reading these Jessica! Thanks so much for finding all this good news to share. I especially like what Finland did with the money that was just sitting there! I've been wondering why they weren't using it.

WOW! You mean the mayor of Tulsa? I'll have to look this up!

I try to mention him every time I call. Just add it as a tag at the end of my calls. We could all do that?
I will talk faster, then! Thank you Jess. Even the défiance of the 9-0 judgment with zero conséquences just makes me stew.
PS, happy pride!
I look forward to your Sunday evening post every week and share it with my friends. You lift me up and energize me for the week ahead. Thank you!!!
I;m so thrilled to hear that, Barbara!
Sorry to find out that the skywriting was AI generated, but so many good things to celebrate! Thanks for doing what you do!
AGH! Really? Ugh sorry about that. I'll pull it off of the good news edition. &()#$& AI.

Thank you for sharing our human banner on the beach in Santa Cruz! It was a great show of resistance against this administration!

Great compilation of good news. For someone who feels apoplectic most of the time, this was a read breath of fresh air! Thank you!
