Yes, apparently some blood or other samples were transported at a high temperature which implied the staff were poorly trained. USAID used to mange this but we gave money for condoms to sex workers in the Congo so we can’t have a proper global health response. But hey, spend more billions on ballroom. Cause you gotta love that right? 😵💫

@jasonsd34 @electionsjoe I said the same thing about Jon Bell Edwards - the problem is the left caters to the uber progressive.
English
@electionsjoe He is going to be the Democrat desantis running for president. Overwhelmingly wins reelection in a swing state, looks most electable in general, his party will reject him in the primary for someone who is a joke

Mfs discounted me as DEI in college for getting a full ride event though I had a 4.4 GPA and a 32 on my ACT, 2 jobs and countless sports/activities. Mind you I went to ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY

One of the things I continue to find remarkable in this debate is how many people look at Black students scoring in the 95th percentile on the MCAT — often higher than the average matriculant at most American medical schools — and still conclude they were admitted “only because of race.” These are objectively elite academic performers. Many scored higher than applicants admitted to excellent medical schools across the country. And yet some people persist in speaking as though the mere existence of Black students at Yale is proof that standards collapsed and that unnamed “more deserving” Asian applicants were robbed. At that point, the conversation is no longer about MCAT scores. It is about an inability to imagine that highly accomplished Black students belong in elite institutions. What also fascinates me is how quickly social media pundits become absolute authorities on physician selection, while dismissing the judgment of admissions committees at institutions that have spent generations training world-class physicians and scientists. Medicine is harder — and more human — than sorting percentiles on a spreadsheet.

@lasttayla @datchuk2020 @LowkeyEnergy_ It's true - I'd cut off my pinky toe to never see or hear from a black person again
English
@datchuk2020 @LowkeyEnergy_ Correct and yt people are notorious for voting/ doing things against their own interests if that means that black people wont get a leg up.

Yt people don't want Black kids to have access to it.

@samwakinsvv genuinely curious, what is the take here? Is it your opinion that someone is doing this to Haiti? I've heard this implied a few times, but I have never actually gotten an explanation
English
@samwakinsvv Haitians killed all whites during their revolt and none of the blacks knew how to run a nation

@SeanTrende Ok well the house is controlled by republicans. Elections have consequences.

But is it really up for debate that TN didn't do "color-blind, politics-blind" redistricting? The real comparator would be "color-blind, politics-heavy" redistricting.
Jeff Yarbro@yarbro
What would a color-blind, politics-blind redistricting look like in Memphis? @Nate_Cohn ran 5,000 simulations that drew normal-shaped traditional districts for TN without looking at race or party. None of them result in 3 majority-white districts.

Black people did not invent racial castes, race based slavery, a Constitution that erased people based on race, segregation based on race, and have not voted for white supremacist ideology for 250 years. But we are the ones obsessed with race?
English
@TheBrancaShow @drterrysimpson He understands the contradictory position, he’s surreptitiously justifying it internally while outwardly ignoring the same.
English
You explicitly offset objective test scores with melanin.
That makes you a degenerate racist.
If you struggle understanding this, just imagine if you were prioritizing lower scoring WHITE applicants over higher scoring BLACK applicants.
See the racism NOW, you degenerate racist?
English
No one is lowering standards but you thinking they are lowered. And that, is simple racism. It’s ok, you can be racist and admit it. Or you can say that maybe physicians and admissions committees of medical school know more than you do about this subject.
𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠, 𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑠, 𝑃𝑜𝑝 𝐶𝑢𝑙@policywishes
The deflection is thick with this one. The issue isn't diversity but lowering standards and choosing applicants based on race is illegal and you can try to twist that any way you want but the DOJ enforces those laws of the Court. Patients need/should have the best qualified.

@WeAlwaysWin25 @dr_huffer So your point is that we need dumber doctors to treat our dumber populations

If we did medical school admissions completely race blind: application without a photo or racial demographics, interview via zoom with camera off…
Who would object, and why?

@1stPrinciples76 @Pratherj92672 @TimHannan I don't understand how people are so ignorant of the judicial branch while complaining about judicial branch procedure
English
@Pratherj92672 @TimHannan The Democrats appealed to the US Supreme Court, knowing that the US Supreme Court had no jurisdiction and would not hear the case, so they could claim the US Supreme Court was corrupt.
English
The Supreme Court is not even pretending to be impartial anymore. Republicans can redistrict but Democrats can’t.

@GrouchyBuckeye @saylordocs Also my first thought - if the fed tracks outbound senders they can disseminate that to the states to enforce. States that receive federal dollars will likely have no choice but to comply.

@saylordocs How are they going to enforce this? How is the kid at the Western Union terminal in Walmart going to know if you are on public assistance?>
