The Smile: 5/9

Hi friend,

We’re closing the week with reminders that hope is alive and well — in the courtroom, on the campaign trail, and across our communities.

Senate Democrats are calling for a full hearing on Trump’s deportation policies, demanding transparency and accountability in the face of fear-driven actions. Add your name to support them.

Meanwhile, pride flags are flying high as Salt Lake City and Boise officially adopted them as city emblems — a bold stand for inclusion in defiance of flag bans. And in Las Vegas, a mass shooting survivor honored each life lost by running 58 marathons.

Let’s dive in and carry that energy into the weekend.

Today’s user-submitted photo was sent in by Kathleen G. who shared this pretty photo of icicles. If you want the chance to have your photo featured, reply to this email 😄

Thank you for reading, and we hope these articles shine a light on your day.

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
