đź§µRACISM IN MEDICINE: This is disgusting! @KPMedSchool claims to be committed to diversity, equity & inclusion but SUSPENDS Dr. @ayshakhoury hours after being asked to teach med students about racial disparities in medicine wearing a "I can't breathe" t-shirt 1/10
@DrMarkSchuster

"When facilitators were asked to incorporate topics on bias & racial health disparities into the August 28, 2020 class, I decided to show up fully as a Black woman & physician. That morning, I paired a t-shirt with the words “I can’t breathe” with my usual African print attire"
For six weeks, Dr. @ayshakhoury was removed from both the clinic and the classroom. She remains suspended from her teaching role at the medical school. 3/10
"How is it possible in the same summer that racism is repeatedly confirmed as a public health issue, I was placed on a now 18 week suspension after facilitating a medical school class incorporating topics of bias & racial health disparities?" @ayshakhoury

.@MichaelKanterMD & @DrMarkSchuster refuse to REAPPOINT @ayshakhoury to faculty claiming, "the decision is not based upon your bringing content related to anti-racism to the classroom or for sharing your experiences as a Black woman in Medicine".. but👇🏽

Without her teaching duties, "everything is just a reminder of not living the life you planned for yourself. I told my story in the class and within 9 hours, I get this call and it's gone," @ayshakhoury
There are 47.8 million (14.6%) African-Americans in the US, however only 5.0% of active physicians are Black.

WE will NOT BE SILENT, while @MichaelKanterMD, @DrMarkSchuster, @KPMedSchool, and @aboutKP DESTROY the career of @ayshakhoury! Reappoint her to faculty!!

If you're Black or Latino strongly consider NOT applying to @KPMedSchool, given their SUSPENSION of Dr. @ayshakhoury hours after teaching med students about racial disparities. If they treat BLACK FACULTY like this, imagine how they treat MED students

We finally have the U.S. Citizenship Act Bill Text! I'm going to go through some portions of the bill right now and highlight some of the major changes and improvements that it would make to our immigration system.

Thread:


First the Bill makes a series of promises changes to the way we talk about immigrants and immigration law.

Gone would be the term "alien" and in its place is "noncitizen."

Also gone would be the term "alienage," replaced with "noncitizenship."


Now we get to the "earned path to citizenship" for all undocumented immigrants present in the United States on January 1, 2021.

Under this bill, anyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria for a new "lawful prospective immigrant status" can come out of the shadows.


So, what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a "lawful prospective immigrant status"? Those are in a new INA 245G and include:

- Payment of the appropriate fees
- Continuous presence after January 1, 2021
- Not having certain criminal record (but there's a waiver)


After a person has been in "lawful prospective immigrant status" for at least 5 years, they can apply for a green card, so long as they still pass background checks and have paid back any taxes they are required to do so by law.

However! Some groups don't have to wait 5 years.
