I also enjoy the Substack "God's Podcast", which, like PoliticusUSA, posts news of problems and solutions, plus it's done with humor.

I need to bring up a website. It needs live because it doesn't have any connection to a social media site... https://www.readthesmile.com/

This is great. I can't understand why your following isn't massive. You should have hundred of likes and shares.

I shared Ariella's newsletter today with my whole town's Democratic Committee! Hoping a few of them subscribe.

Awesome. In fact, in times like these, I always take Mister Rogers' advice, "Look for the helpers".

Seek out news sources that emphasize what is being done about the problem and success stories.

One can still be "in the know" about what is going on but not have the worst feeling of existential dread.

It also raises hope, morale and that fighting spirit, making success even more possible.

Ariella Elm, Scott Dworkin, Democratic Wins Media are great sources of positive news and word on what is being done.

PoliticusUSA, though it's not just good news, is also a good source. They report on what the Dems are doing to fight this mess as well.

Yup. I do. Whenever people get doomy gloomy or folks complain about Democratic inaction that isn't real. I say, “Check out Ariella Elm's Substack, Bluesky or YouTube”.

I will also re-stack or re-skeet your stuff.
