The Smile: 2/5
Minnesota educators fight for safe schools, courts uphold fair maps and the rule of law, Democrats score victories, and inspiring local stories brighten the week.
Hi friend,
Happy Thursday! Minnesota school districts and their teachers’ union are taking a stand for students’ safety and stability by suing the Trump administration over immigration enforcement activity near schools that has created fear, disrupted learning, and driven down attendance across multiple districts.
✍️ Applaud this effort to protect students, teachers, and families in Minnesota and defend safe schools.
There’s plenty of encouraging news today: the Supreme Court is letting California use a fairer congressional map, judges are pushing back on extreme policies from the Trump administration, and communities everywhere are stepping up with stories of resilience, joy, and leadership.
Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
