Welcome to Good News For Lefties, the progressive podcast that brings you uplifting, democracy-affirming, and leftist-friendly daily news with a dash of wit! Host Beowulf Rochlen delivers your dose of liberal victories, resistance against authoritarian overreach, and heartwarming wins for workers, marginalized communities, and even our feline friends. In this episode: Blue states push back against federal attacks on DEI programs, standing firm for equitable education; California gig workers rally for union rights in a bold new labor fight against Uber and Lyft; Mayo Clinic workers reclaim their power by ditching a 50-year-old "no strike" clause; California moves to ban cruel cat declawing (finally!); LA schools defy ICE to protect immigrant students; and a Colorado rancher partners with conservationists to protect elk migration.
