Today on Good News for Lefties, we spotlight resilience in the face of Trump’s failed D.C. crackdown, Oregon’s groundbreaking recycling reform that shifts responsibility onto corporations, and a listener-suggested story on rising global LGBTQ+ acceptance. Plus: California Democrats push bold new climate and voting rights measures, Rocky Mountain National Park rolls out all-terrain wheelchairs for visitors, and new research shows SNAP participants enjoy stronger brain health later in life. Change is happening — and it’s good news worth sharing.
