Bad News First
The news can be disheartening, but it can also focus our engagement. Let’s gird our loins and take a quick peek.
- Deeply disappointing redistricting news from Virginia, Tennessee, and elsewhere.
- Satellite images and leaked CIA analysis indicate the war in Iran is not going as well as we’ve been told.
- The CDC fired every full-time cruise ship sanitation inspector and now we have a hantavirus problem.
But Here’s the Good News
Encouraging developments don’t always show up in the headlines. But good things are happening, I swear!
- A judge ruled that DOGE’s cancellation of $100 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities was unconstitutional and a second appeals court has now rejected the administration’s policy of holding immigrant detainees without bond.
- The Court of International Trade struck down the president’s second round of worldwide tariffs.
- Democratic lawmakers are investigating whether the president is granting pay-for-play pardons.
And Here’s What You Can Do
Doing something is always better than doing nothing, right?
- Follow NAACP’s lead on the redistricting fight and support their work.
- Take an online class on empowered resistance May 13 or 27 to learn how to be less stressed and more focused on action. (Sliding scale registration fee applies.)
- Have a look at this Choose Democracy page on how to fight authoritarianism and see what works for you.
