Resilience in D.C. & Recycling Revolution in Oregon

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.https://newrepublic.com/post/199031/trump-takeover-washington-dc-hilariously-ineffectivehttps://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/good-energy/oregon-law-change-recycling-system-improvements/283-51abebee-ed5a-4bc4-bfc9-706ca4f7e943https://www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025/08/11/exclusive-foot-traffic-down-9-at-american-eagle-following-sydney-sweeney-ad-controversyhttps://apnews.com/article/california-legislature-return-redistricting-affordability-agenda-1e8f9ed8fdf52bbc687c782371a56597https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/homophobic-attitudes-have-fallen-in-western-europe-and-the-united-stateshttps://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/rocky-mountain-national-park-all-terrain-wheelchairsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/good-news-for-lefties-daily-news-for-democracy--6256627/support.
