This week’s Good News from the Resistance: What says Happy 4th of July better than a president who gears up for the holiday by publicly displaying his demented mind to all of the world by broadcasting misogynistic tweets that would land most 8 year olds in the principal’s office? It’s business as usual in 45’s Kingdom. Forget the distraction. Let’s celebrate the Good News: Resisters, GOP Congresspeople with a conscience, and state governors managed to delay the Senate’s healthcare bill a bit longer. And there’s more …

This week’s Good News from the Resistance: Ossoff losing was not Good News. But when the going gets tough, resisters get more creative. While the Georgia election, Russia, and TrumpNoCare were making the headlines this week, state and city government resisters continued to push back against 45’s agenda, and judges continued to rule against the administration’s mean-spirited policies. To quote the late, great Leonard Cohen, “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” And light there is. Read our message from Flippable.org, hitch up your knickers, and get back to work.
