When a president defies #scotus it’s not just about one issue. It’s not just about immigration. It’s about power. It’s about the death of democracy — one defiance at a time.

We have co-equal branches of government for a reason. If we let one man ignore the rule of law, what’s next? Our voting rights? Our freedoms?

This is bigger than politics. It’s about the foundation of our country. Don’t sit quietly and watch it crumble. Use your voice. Flood your representatives. Demand they stand up for US.

Here’s how you can take action NOW:

Find your House Rep ⬇️
house.gov/representatives/find

Find your Senator ⬇️
senate.gov/senators/senators-c

➡️ Call and email them — daily
➡️ Tell them: Uphold the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Your silence is compliance. Do not comply.👏🏽

Periodic public service reminder and my thought for the day.

We do not have an abundance problem, we have a greed problem. Greed shows up in more than the monetary sense. We see land certain governments are unwilling to share. We see greed for power. The list goes on. We, as a species, need to put our big kid pants on.

Researchers say that a person’s intelligence plays a bigger role in their computer proficiency than previously believed, so much so that practice alone may not be enough… So if you’re ‘smart’ you have an advantage when it comes to using technology, confirming yet again that tech can be divisive, promoting a divide between higher- and lower-IQ individuals. That’s an ‘access’ issue IMO, that needs to be addressed. Considering a majority of the world’s population has an IQ under 100, this is an equity and equality matter. All individuals, regardless of intelligence quotients, should have access to the benefits offered by technology. #Technology #equity

"#Washington’s top #education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 #schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion programs.

The letter, sent to school leaders across the nation late last week, threatens to withhold federal funding from schools for “any violation” of civil rights law — including #DEI programs that “advantage one race over another.” It also requires schools to sign the certification and return it to the department within 10 days."

I wonder what Dr. Lakshmi Chilukuri, professor of molecular biology, provost of 6th College at #UCSD, and mother of Usha Vance thinks of the #fascism. Have any students in her lab lost their visas? Has her research been affected by the #NIH cuts?
