iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.

Today, the rule of law itself is in peril and as members of the legal community, it is our duty to defend it. It's essential for us to take action—whether it's through supporting our legal community or committing to the small, everyday steps that make a difference. (10/11)

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

ABA
It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day.
Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform.
Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity.
We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few.
But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong.
It is also contrary to the rule of law.
The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair.
We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

“We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.”

Every attorney takes a version of this oath. I took mine more than two decades ago. It still means something to me.

Imagine claiming to be a Christian and attacking a Bishop who is practicing the teachings of the Bible. Who TF does that..? A Faux-Christian, little man. #SheShed

Considering a "news fast"--need a good book instead??--Look no further than Mike Cassidy's terrific new novel: (bit.ly/3EfM2qp), an engaging, fast-paced read, inspired in part by a cold murder case in Cambridge. Who knew attorney-client privilege could spark such an absorbing romp. #booksky

For me, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is coming at just the right time, offering a chance to use his January commemoration as a source for practical resolutions, deep thinking and even deeper renewal. So what might MLK advise us to resolve in 2025? More: bizj.us/1qmvtg #booksky
