In this episode of Good News for Lefties, we explore a range of uplifting stories that shine a light on the resilience of communities and the ongoing fight for justice. A new transparency feature on Twitter has revealed that many influential figures in the MAGA movement are actually based outside the U.S., raising questions about authenticity in political discourse. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's approval ratings continue to plummet, with voters expressing dissatisfaction with his economic management as we approach the 2026 midterm elections.

In positive news, faculty members at Harrisburg Area Community College have approved a tentative agreement that includes raises and back pay, averting a potential strike. Additionally, Democrat Maureen Rowan has made history by winning her race for State Assembly in New Jersey, becoming the first Democratic woman to represent Atlantic County in the Legislature.

We also highlight the remarkable efforts of Patagonia, which has restructured to allocate a significant portion of its profits to combat climate change, and the innovative Justice Bus in Oregon, providing legal assistance to those in need. Finally, we celebrate the grassroots Adopt a Ranger campaign, which connects furloughed National Park rangers with community support during tough times.

Join us as we reflect on these inspiring stories and their implications for our communities. Don’t forget to rate and review us on your favorite podcast platform to help spread the good news!
