I just subscribed because you are doing incredibly important work. Thank you! I am mentioning you to every single person who tries to corner me with doom and gloom from mainstream media.
Wow, what an astounding compilation of research, and so encouraging. Reported in a balanced manner, not pollyanna, but still vastly hopeful. If we can do all this amidst the incredible obstacles in politics and public ignorance, what can we do when those obstacles are resolved? Thanks for making my day.
This was a very comprehensive and thoughtful edition. I really appreciate the reminder that the current shitty American government is not the world. It's the tribes that got the dams out of the Klamath and the scientists doing the unimaginable drudgery of vaccine development and people actually going to the villages that make the difference. Thank you.
There is something truly radical in what Fix the News is doing. When I first started reading it, I did so because I was tortured by what I was reading in the news, but I still knew there were good things unfolding in the world around me. But I did not realize how big the gap is between reality and the narratives we are fed, not just through news media, but also by some social media channels and governments, especially the Trump government. Now I look forward to reading your newsletter because it adjusts my perspective, bringing it back into something closer to balance. Thank you.
A wonderfully coherent summarisation of your reporting through the past year - made all the impactful by weaving it into what turns out to be a single fabric with a message. Putting this all together must have taken some considerable planning and effort, against a background of searing loss and catastrophe. I suspect you and your team do all of this not just because it is hard & hence worth doing, but because you really care. Your readers matter to you: there is a feeling of connection. Through that connection the "fixing of the news" that happens here makes a difference.
It is that feeling of connection to 'the other', arising out of a conviction that there is more in common between us than holds us apart, that is the single most powerful antidote to the doom scrolling.
I subscribe to Fix The News because I believe that the work you are doing shows not only that our identity is global in reach, and that we are making strides towards the realisation of that identity, but also that we all have and are using our agency in action to those ends.
I'm so grateful for all the effort you put into tracking this progress, putting into words and sharing it. Hope is something we don't get from the news, but it's plainly there. YOU are doing the hero's work also.
Wow. I’m sending this to everyone I know and changing the free subscription I started one hour ago to a paid one. We need this more than anything! Thank you!
sources would be good for a lot of these points. after reading a bunch of wikipedia lately, it feels really weird for factual claims to not have any link associated with them.

Bravo. A beautiful essay. Another inspiring year of work. Thank you.

You couldn't help throwing a negative in there. 😐
We need yin and yang.
I shout from the rooftops that you provide this astounding perspective on our world. Don't lose heart. We are listening and grateful.
Me too! At this point I could probably give my spiel in my sleep.
