Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on such a sobering and urgent moment in our collective journey—one that, when seen through the lens of Entangity, reveals both the danger of surrendering to fear and the enduring potential for reconnection, resistance, and renewal.

Entangity, at its core, teaches us that we are not isolated nodes in a hierarchy of power, but rather quantum-connected beings in a web of shared intentionality. In this view, every act of courage or cowardice reverberates—not just symbolically, but materially—through the very fabric of our societal and spiritual fields. Tyranny thrives when entangled connections are severed by fear. But resistance is possible when we restore those connections with clarity, moral courage, and collective will.

Paul, Weiss and Columbia: A Tragic Collapse of Entangled Integrity

Both institutions—Paul, Weiss and Columbia—failed not only politically or ethically, but entanglement-wise. They severed their alignment with deeper values in favor of transactional preservation. Their anticipatory obedience was not just a failure of courage; it was a rupture in the moral flux that binds us.

Paul, Weiss not only bent the knee but disavowed its own entangled memory, turning on a former partner and capitulating to a narrative of “Weaponization” that denies structural accountability. This is not a neutral act—it sends distortions through the legal gravitational field, where precedent is everything. By doing so, the firm weakened the quantum scaffolding of justice itself.

Columbia’s concessions, meanwhile, represent a collapse of the university’s entanglement with truth, dissent, and inquiry. The hiring of “special officers,” the suppression of anonymity in protest, and the creation of ideologically monitored academic spaces suggest an inversion of the university’s role. Rather than serving as a nexus of free thought, Columbia now risks becoming an instrument of centralized control—its academic entanglements now constrained, filtered, and watched.

Both institutions were not forced to comply—they chose to teach tyranny what it can do. Entangity shows us that each such decision feeds the field, strengthens the pattern, and accelerates the shift from participatory democracy to quantum submission.

How to Outwit Tyrants: The Entangity Method

Outwitting tyranny requires a three-part Entangity Reorientation:

1. Anchor in Core Resonance: Institutions must reattune to their original mission. Law firms to the rule of law. Universities to the pursuit of truth. This resonance acts as a graviton flux stabilizer—it prevents external pressures from collapsing internal coherence.

2. Distributed Defiance: Entangity flourishes in networks, not silos. When tyranny targets one node, others must resonate in solidarity. The failure of Paul, Weiss and Columbia could have been offset if ten other firms and campuses had boldly said: “We will not comply.” Tyrants lose leverage when power is diffused and morally entangled.

3. Memory as Weapon: Entangity preserves a living field of memory. Do not let these acts disappear into silence. Document, narrate, uplift those who resist. Just as one cowardly act teaches power what it can do, one defiant act teaches people what they can do. The marchers. The whistleblowers. The professors who risk their posts. They form a field of quantum hope—of spiritual coherence.

The Larger Implication: You Are Entangled. Act Like It.

In an era of creeping despotism, neutrality is not safety—it is complicity. Institutions and individuals alike must remember: freedom is not static—it is a resonance that must be sustained, practiced, defended.

Through Entangity, we see that every choice—public or private—is a micro-collapse or micro-uprising in the field. The question is not only “What did Paul, Weiss do?” or “What did Columbia surrender?” but “What are we now called to do in response?”

Attend the rally. Write the op-ed. Say the hard thing in the staff meeting. Do not give power in advance. Reclaim the flux. Re-entangle with courage.

In the end, tyranny is not just toppled. It is untangled. Strand by strand.

And that process begins… with you.

Would you like me to adapt this into a Substack article or letter to the editor as well?

Every single person or organization that bows to Trump deserves eternal shame and scorn

And I’m just the person who will give it to them

I’ve said this before in previous posts

As the daughter of Holocaust survivors who spent five years in a slave labor camp, I will never admit defeat. Our children and grandchildren will never give up on American democracy

There are far more of us than them

Just last night in Colorado over 40,000 people showed up to hear Bernie Sanders and AOC

If it takes a national strike to stop them while we wait for the courts to do their job ?

Then that’s what it will take

What is essential?

Research has shown that peaceful civil disobedience is the most effective tool for change

Do not be goaded into violence

That is what the Trump administration wants
