I just need to say again how much I value this weekly roundup... to the point where I'm upgrading to become a paid subscriber. THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the hard work compiling all this.
I really appreciate that, Rick. Paid subscribers enable me to keep doing this work, so without folks like you I couldn’t keep bringing you Extra! Extra! 😌
Today; 6/19, headline in The Guardian U.S. version;
"EPA sued over reapproval of toxic herbicides using Agent Orange chemical"
Having watched news from Vietnam, and protested in [my home town] Philadelphia, PA, and in Washington, D.C., and knowing my friend's daughter has undefined disabilities, conceived and born after her father returned from Vietnam... I want to yell from the mountaintop that this abomination must stop!!!
On my news feed today a headline from (conservative) Washington Free Beacon…”Joe Biden Wants to Turn Your Elementary Schooler Into a Climate Justice Activist”…likes that’s a bad thing.😂
Excellent compilation of advances toward a more inclusive and compassionate society. Thank you for the work of finding and communicating good news.
Of course! It’s truly my pleasure.
Wow! What a list! A wonderful shot-in-the-arm to get the new week going- as always THANK YOU!!!🙏😘
So welcome! Lotta good stuff on there, right?
It’s so easy to get caught in a horribly depressing loop it’s nice to know there’s still good out there.
Yup. Important to take positivity breaks.
Thanks so much for this encouraging update! I’m just sad to realize that there are so many instances that need to be addressed and protected.
Yeah, that is the downside. Even so. Our institutions are holding--if barely.
Right! Glass half full. Glass half full. Glass half full .😂
I love Sundays when I can read this list! It’s my favorite read of the day. Thanks for the great research and summary! Your my heroine!
Always, Kate.
