The Smile: 01/30/2025

 


Hi friend,

It’s been a difficult week to find the light. With Trump’s latest executive overreach, chaos in Congress, and now RFK Jr.’s disastrous confirmation hearing—where he stumbled over basic facts on Medicaid and vaccines—there’s been no shortage of frustrating headlines. Watching someone with a long history of vaccine misinformation try to backtrack while still dodging direct questions makes it clear how reckless and unqualified this administration’s choices are.

But even when hope feels hard to find, that doesn’t mean it’s not out there. It’s in the legal challenges pushing back against unconstitutional actions, in the communities standing up for truth, and in the millions of people refusing to accept this new reality as normal.

Today’s newsletter is here to remind you that even in times like these, progress, resilience, and good still exist. Let’s hold onto that as we move forward together. 💛
