Q: "Why is nursing being dropped as a professional degree?"
A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."
A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."
About 1 in every 20 nurses in the US are Filipino.♥️🇵🇭
The Philippines is better at educating and training large numbers of high quality nurses for less educational cost, than most other nations. Better than the USA.
This isn't just "cheap labor." This is pride in excellence of service to others.

I wish we could make a legally-binding contract for all these folks who are so anti-immigrant so that they could be relieved of the burden of getting medical treatment from folks who are immigrants or children of immigrants, which would free up tons of care for others.

JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.

Assume they committed a crime by illegally crossing a border.

Someone posted that with today's layoffs, there are no Black journalists left at Teen Vogue.
I keep saying that major US journalism was late to all of the moments that mattered. MeToo. BLM. And now ELON/DOGE. And I said they spent decades with the wrong framing.
I said what I said.
You can get mad about it if you want, but I'm right.
But calling out exceptions: Teen Vogue was not late.♥️👍🏿

“Dems moved too far left” means BLM and trans equality—and for some, taking COVID seriously—and many Dem politicians really do support those things.
There’s tons of noise and euphemism, but that’s the core argument.
And it is a misguided one, since Dems won the election after that move, in 2020.
