The Smile: 10/6

 

Hi friend, Happy Monday! In a major victory for democracy and the rule of law, a federal judge has blocked Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Oregon and California without state consent. The court ruled that there is no rebellion, no insurrection, and no justification for militarizing peaceful American communities. ✍️ Add your name to applaud this powerful victory and thank the leaders who stood up to Trump’s abuse of power!
