RETWEET to honor Reiner's legacy of justice ♥️

Each principle - due process, educational freedom and right to representation - has implications for everyone regardless of party affiliation or leaning.
Donald Trump on his son Barron: “He can look at a computer... I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop, I say, ‘How do you do that?’.. He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology."🤡
