This week’s Good News from the Resistance: Good News is going on vacation. Yes, even those of us who focus on good news need to take time to practice these self-care techniques. We’ll be back on Martin Luther King’s birthday. But before we bid adieu until 2018, there are many 2017 “best of” lists and promising numbers to report: 10 best protests of the year; 17 women of color who rocked the Resistance; 83 high-profile men in Axios’s sexual misconduct spreadsheet; 7 banned words (projected onto a hotel); 45’s record-breaking Christmas approval rating. And there’s even more Good News:
- Indulge your inner-geek with these 2018 predictions
- Thank these D.C. bureaucrats for undermining 45’s agenda
- Smile when you read about the White House mass exodus
- Look forward to watching Mueller in 2018
- Congratulate Memphis for creative response to Confederate statues
- Gloat over Senate rejecting another 45 nominee
- Exhale a sigh of relief over Obamacare sign-ups
- Ask LeBron where he got those shoes
- Meet Santa’s husband
Sign Up. Show Up. Never Give Up.
