This is the actual test that Trump brags about acing. He says the final few questions were “really hard.” That statement is Exhibit A that Trump is mentally disabled. Retweet if you find the test ridiculously easy 👇🏼

ALERT: This is the sweeping executive order Trump will invoke to patrol public spaces in the states he deems out of control. Get ready to take him to court every time he uses the order to suppress 1st Amendment “freedom of speech” & “peaceable assembly.”

None of your rights will be safe when Trump gets through. Don’t assume he’ll be satisfied until the whole Bill of Rights — yes, including your 2d Amendment right to defend yourself and your family from his unidentified stormtroopers in unmarked vehicles — is a distant memory.
This is how it begins. The dictatorial hunger for power is insatiable. If ever there was a time for peaceful civil disobedience, that time is upon us.

1. Imagine if Trump threatened to deport all international students whose universities enforce social distancing in class or use online lectures to supplement face-to-face lectures. Everyone would realize that use of executive power would violate the First Amendment. Cont’d:
2. What ICE is doing similarly violates the 1st Amendment rights of universities and all their students. It threatens to yank the visas of the foreign students whose real or virtual presence in classes is central to how we teach and how our students learn unless we risk (cont’d):
3. the health and lives of the entire community. Trump is cruelly saying: “Make your campus a center for transmitting disease and death — or sacrifice the rich content of your curriculum and redesign your educational mission.” That Hobson’s choice trashes academic freedom.

1. The United States has had 121,000 deaths from Covid-19. With about 4% of the world’s population, that’s about 25% of the world’s deaths from this pandemic. That means over 100,000 of us (and counting) have died because of our government’s miserably bungled response. Go to # 2.
2. American exceptionalism surely can’t mean we’re uniquely susceptible to this 🦠 virus! Nor can this be a punishment for the original sins of slavery and genocide. Go to 3
3. No, it’s the price we’re paying for letting this unfit monster steal the presidency in 2016. Go to 4

The 5-4 DACA decision was an important victory, though not a permanent one, for the DREAMers, whose long-term status now becomes a campaign issue.
It’s too bad that only Justice Sotomayor embraces the claim that the history surrounding DACA’s rescission by Trump established a plausible equal protection claim.
The majority was wrong to dismiss as “unilluminating” and “unrelated” Trump’s comparisons of undocumented immigrants to “animals” and his denigration of Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “drug dealers.”
