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 is telling @KPMedSchool that he\u2019s apologized to me. I did not share the apology because nothing has fundamentally changed since my notice. The difference in the letters is that the new language employs empathy. pic.twitter.com/1V1xwMZhxS

I humbly ask that you, my fellow applicants, contact @KPMedSchool and request answers regarding its treatment of Dr. @ayshakhoury. Too often, we see Black women\u2014patients, faculty, AND healthcare workers\u2014treated unjustly within medicine. We can\u2019t keep allowing this to happen. pic.twitter.com/o7fVsGIjaz

The immigration bill text is out!
— Nicole Narea (@nicolenarea) February 18, 2021
Senate version: https://t.co/aJUmtVW6Ir
House version: https://t.co/JMKjQaDi04
Excuse me while I go at this with a highlighter.
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.
