Not everything that happened this year was terrible.
There are so many things to worry about in the world that it's wonderful to read a piece as optimistic as this one, from the excellently named "Fix the News" site. I just signed up for a subscription for a subscription.
These "stories of progress" are a long read. Please take the time to read them all. There are also links to source material. You can get happily lost in this wonderful compilation, and what it links to.
This newsletter is a compendium of the reporting and commentary that best explains the America's political, economic, and social conditions – and, most important, how we can find a way back from the dark days ahead. You will rarely find anything here from the New York Times or Washington Post or any of the other Big Journalism companies that failed us so completely during the 2024 elections and are now sucking up – even more than usual – to Donald Trump, his cult, and corporate oligarchs. My focus will be on smaller, more honorable outlets (and individuals). I hope you'll support them with your attention and your money. For more details, please read my About page.
Please send your suggestions
I spend a lot of time looking for essential coverage, and hope you'll help me by letting me know about the good stuff you find. Let me know.
