6 of 9 SCOTUS have shown me what they are. They're NOT going to *normalize* and align with lower courts now. Theil, Heritage Foundation, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Coney-Barrett, and Kavanaugh have no allegiance to my ancestors (or theirs). What purchased their interest?
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court will decide if Trump can limit the constitutional right to citizenship granted to virtually all American-born children, despite several lower courts already ruling it violates the 14th Amendment.

Degrees aren't gone-they're not eligible for student loans. You can be all you want to be, and you'll pay more out of pocket. The "trickledown" consequence is 1) reduction in health services; 2) further degradation of higher education professionals; then, less access to health or services for MOST.
