"Dump Trump" button worn by one of the pro-refugee activists that demonstrated in front of the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C., on Thursday, December 10, 2015, to protest against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and to call for a boycott of the hotel which is set to open in 2016. The protest was organized by the activist group "Code Pink". On Monday, Trump, the current leader in the race for the GOP nomination, called for a temporary ban of all Muslims entering the U.S., a move which received widespread condemnation.

"Respect teachers? Then respect their First Amendment rights" says this anit-union activist. A case before the United States Supreme Court could effectively bring an end to public sector unions. On Monday, January 11, 2016 in Washington D.C. the Court heard a case brought by non-union teachers in California seeking to overturn the current system in which public employees in 23 states and the District of Columbia must pay for the cost of collective bargaining, even if they disagree with their unions' demands. One of those suing is Rebecca Friedrichs, a third grade teacher from Los Angeles who has become the public face for the group. The Supreme Court's decision is expected by late June.
