Description

COVID-19 cases are surging nationwide, and President Trump is unilaterally imposing strict immigration restrictions. Maria and Julio get into that and more as they talk about the people powered organizing that is pushing back — often in creative ways — and recap this past week's 2020 primary elections. ITT Staff Picks:  - Joe Coscarelli writes for The New York Times about how K-Pop fans are turning to political activism online.  - Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern write for Slate about the Supreme Court ruling that "approved the Trump administration's draconian interpretation of a federal law that limits courts' ability to review deportation orders."  - Bridget Read writes "Don't Call Her a Fluke" for The Cut about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's victory.  Photo Credit: AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File
