Last week, Donald Trump trampled the First Amendment rights of Americans to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances.
Even before any curfew went into effect, the Trump administration ordered federal law enforcement to violently remove Americans who stood in his way of a disgusting, crass photo-op. The president may have been waving a Bible, but in using police to forcibly remove a priest and seminarian from his camera shot, he revealed his contempt for the truly faithful.
As if that werenโt bad enough, Trump also threatened to exploit the most powerful military on the face of the earth โ disrespecting our troops in the process โ to achieve his political goals.
