Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

It’s worth noting that at the age of 22, decision making is done primarily by the amygdala, an “impulsive system” triggering emotional responses to immediate outcomes. The brain doesn’t reach full maturity to decision making until the prefrontal cortex develops entirely around the age of 25.
