Take a moment to celebrate all of the WINS from last week--and share with someone who needs to hear them! This list is adapted, as always, from Jess Craven's "Chop Wood, Carry Water" newsletter.

1. The Obama library opened and the celebration was spectacular. Among other things, the tan suits were out in full force.

2. Due in large part to loud and robust protest from citizens and voting rights advocates, Georgia Republicans reversed course on redrawing their maps in a special session. It’s a HUGE win.

3. The Trump administration has reversed its decision to dismantle a $368M deep-sea observation system following an outcry from lawmakers and ocean experts.

4. Last Sunday night, people came together for Rise Up, Sing Out at more than 1500 watch parties in all 50 states, with hundreds of thousands more watching from home.

5. All detainees from "Alligator Alcatraz" have been transferred out of the Florida Everglades facility.

6. The Cook Political Report shifted seven more House races left this week.

7. Organizers behind the Montana Plan have had 34,906 signatures declared valid by the state of Montana. That is comfortably above the number needed to qualify for the ballot.

8. Approval for Trump among rural Americans dropped this month to 50 percent — a new low, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll.

9. Protestors wearing tee shirts that read “Team Algae” showed up at the reflecting pool to troll Trump.

10. ICE plans to sell or give away most of the 11 warehouses it bought to detain migrants, reversing course on a signature initiative.
