This is a prime example of why people who say that "the government is just turning us against each other" or "It's not Left vs. Right" are fucking wrong.
A large swathe of America is DEEPLY retarded. They are purposely uneducated, ride or die, cult minded morons.
Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.
Arizona State University filed to use eminent domain to steal a 124 year old Phoenix home from a senior homeowner
The man who owns it is a 89 year old senior citizen who’s owned the home for 50 years
ASU says they need the land for their downtown health campus
ASU made multiple purchase offers, they’ve offered up to $850,000 for the home. The homeowner keeps refusing. So now they plan to just take the home with eminent domain
If eminent domain goes through he’ll be forced to accept the appraisal price
Dear @SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs.
Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign.
The president cancelling tv shows he doesn’t like & memeing about it on social media is a dystopian nightmare.
10 years, the very thought of this occurring would have been uncontroversially anti-american.
MAGA has destroyed our country.
I understand why many Asian families feel frustrated in elite admissions systems. In intensely competitive environments, there is a real perception — and sometimes evidence — that exceptional academic performance still does not guarantee admission.
That feeling should not be dismissed.
But admissions committees also confront another reality: if you have 100 applicants from privileged, high-performing educational pipelines with nearly identical scores, resumes, research access, tutoring, and opportunities, it is not irrational to also value the applicant who achieved similar academic success despite poverty, instability, underfunded schools, family hardship, or lack of institutional advantages.
That is not abandoning merit. It is recognizing that achievement exists in context.
And medicine especially is not merely selecting expert test takers. It is selecting future physicians who will care for human beings across every class, culture, language, and circumstance in society.
The irony is that many people who defend “objective merit” often become deeply uncomfortable the moment merit is evaluated in anything broader than a percentile ranking.
If you can’t understand how an applicant with a 507 MCAT who came from poverty, first to go to college, working while in school, and has no financial help is much more impressive and implies far better work ethic and perseverance than someone with a 512, rich parents, MCAT prep course, and never had a job…you’re a fucking dumbass.
Reading this headline you’d think Yale admitted 50 or 100 or 1000 black medical students. It is the grand total of 44 black students compared to 100s of Asian and White students that has caused this furor. Sending hugs to all black students who will suffer abuse.
