Stanford/Silicon Valley/Leftwing Politics Intersectionality The House Judiciary Committee just revealed how the Department of Homeland Security worked with Stanford University to form a “disinformation group.” Their agenda was to monitor and suppress unwelcome news during the 2020 election cycle.

In another instance of the signals to go to the front of the line was to say the high school class you received your lowest grades in was “Science.” Yes, they literally shot you to the front of the line if you said your worst grades were in Science.

SCOOP: Whistleblowers at UCLA medical school say it has dramatically lowered admissions standards for minority applicants. As a result, they say, 50% of some cohorts now fail basic tests of medical competence. We've obtained shocking internal data.🧵 https://freebeacon.com/campus/a-failed-medical-school-how-racial-preferences-supposedly-outlawed-in-california-have-persisted-at-ucla/
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
UCLA medical school hired a new dean of admissions, Jennifer Lucero, In 2020. Since then, the number of students failing their shelf exams—standardized tests taken after each clinical rotation—has exploded, rising as much as tenfold in some subjects. That wasn't a coincidence.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a "failed medical school," said a former member of the admissions staff. "We want racial diversity so badly, we're willing to cut corners to get it." This is the story of how that happened.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Led by Lucero, who also serves as the DEI czar of UCLA's anesthesiology department, the admissions committee gives black and Latino applicants a pass for subpar metrics, four people who served on it said, while whites and Asians need near perfect scores to even be considered.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Committee members who try to uphold standards are silenced. Two sources said Lucero attacked an admissions officer for raising concerns about an applicant with low test scores. "Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?" she asked.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
The candidate's scores shouldn't matter, she continued, because "we need people like this in the medical school." "We are not consistent in the way we apply the metrics to these applicants," one admissions official emailed colleagues after the incident. "This is troubling."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"I wondered," the official added, "if this applicant had been [a] white male, or [an] Asian female for that matter, [whether] we would have had that much discussion."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
This story is based on written correspondence between UCLA officials, internal data on student performance, and interviews with eight professors at the medical school—six of whom have worked with or under Lucero on medical student and residency admissions.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Together, they provide an unprecedented account of how racial preferences, outlawed in California since 1996, have nonetheless continued, upending academic standards at one of the top medical schools in the country.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
The school has consequently taken a hit in the rankings and seen a sharp rise in the number of students failing basic standardized tests, raising concerns about their clinical competence. "I have students on their rotation who don't know anything," an admissions official said.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
It is almost unheard of for admissions officers to go public with stories from confidential deliberations, much less to accuse their colleagues of breaking the law or lowering standards. They've agreed to come forward because the drop in student performance has been so alarming.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"I wouldn't normally talk to a reporter," a UCLA faculty member said. "But there's no way to stop this without embarrassing the medical school." Within three years of Lucero's hire, UCLA dropped from 6th to 18th place in U.S. News & World Report's rankings for medical research.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
And in some of the cohorts she admitted, more than 50 percent of students failed standardized tests on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Those tests, known as shelf exams, which are typically taken at the end of each clinical rotation, measure basic medical knowledge and play a pivotal role in residency applications. Though only 5 percent of students fail each test nationally, the rates are much higher at UCLA.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Failure rates have increased tenfold in some subjects since Lucero took over admissions. That uptick coincided with a steep drop in the number of Asian matriculants and tracks the subjective impressions of faculty who say that students have never been more poorly prepared.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
One professor said that a student in the operating room could not identify a major artery when asked, then berated the professor for putting her on the spot.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Another said that students at the end of their clinical rotations don't know basic lab tests and, in some cases, are unable to present patients. "I don't know how some of these students are going to be junior doctors," the professor said.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"Faculty are seeing a shocking decline in knowledge of medical students." And for those who've seen the competency crisis up close, double standards in admissions are a big part of the problem.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"All the normal criteria for getting into medical school only apply to people of certain races," an admissions officer said. "For other people, those criteria are completely disregarded."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Another admissions officer said that the bar for underrepresented minorities is "as low as you could possibly imagine" and "completely disregards grades and achievements."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Several officials said that they support holistic admissions and don't want test scores judged in isolation. The problem, they say, is that the committee isn't just weighing academics against community service or considering how much time a given kid had to study for the MCAT.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
For certain applicants, they say, hardship and community service seem to be the only things that matter to the majority of the committee's 20-30 members, many of whom were handpicked by Lucero, according to people familiar with the selection process.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"We were always outnumbered," an admissions officer told the Free Beacon, referring to committee members who expressed concern about low grades. "Other people would get upset when we brought up GPA."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Lucero hasn't been kind to dissenters. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, six people who've worked with her described a pattern of racially charged incidents that has dispirited officials and pushed some of them to resign from the committee.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
She has lashed out at officials who question the qualifications of minority candidates, five sources said, suggesting naysayers are "privileged," implying that they are racist, and subjecting them to diversity training sessions.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
After a Native American applicant was rejected in 2021, for example, Lucero chewed out the committee and made members sit through a two-hour lecture on Native history delivered by her own sister, according to three people familiar with the incident.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
In the anesthesiology department, where Lucero helps rank applicants for residencies, she has rebuffed calls to blind the race of candidates, telling colleagues in a 2023 email that, despite California's ban on racial preferences, "we are not required to blind any information."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
That alone could get UCLA in legal trouble, according to Adam Mortara, the lead trial lawyer for the plaintiffs in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Supreme Court case that outlawed affirmative action nationwide.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Asking for information about an applicant's race when "no lawful use can be made of it" is "presumptively illegal," Mortara said. "You can't have evidence of overt discrimination like this and not have someone come forward" as a plaintiff.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Lucero has even advocated moving candidates up or down the residency rank list based on race. At a meeting in 2022, per two people present, she demanded a highly qualified white male be knocked down several spots because, as she put it, "we have too many of his kind" already.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
She also told those who voiced concern that they had no right to an opinion because they were "not BIPOC" and insisted that a Hispanic applicant who had performed poorly on her anesthesiology rotation in medical school should be bumped up. Neither candidate was ultimately moved.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Lucero's comments from the meeting were flagged in an email to UCLA's Discrimination Prevention Office, which has received several complaints about her since 2023, emails show.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
The office has declined to act on those complaints on the grounds that they aren't "serious enough" to merit an investigation, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
The focus on diversity has coincided with a dramatic shift in the racial and ethnic composition of the medical school, where the number of Asian matriculants fell by almost a third between 2019 and 2022. No other elite medical school in California saw a similar decline.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
As the demographics of UCLA have changed, the number of students failing their shelf exams has soared, trends professors at the medical school say are connected.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Between 2020, the year Lucero assumed her post, and 2023, when the first classes she admitted were taking their shelf exams, the failure rate rose dramatically across all subjects, in some cases increasing tenfold relative to the 2020 baseline.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"1/3 to 1/2 of the medical school is incredibly unqualified," one prof said. The collapse in qualifications has been compounded by UCLA's decision, in 2020, to condense its preclinical curriculum from two years to one in order to add time for research and community service.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
That means students arrive at their clinical rotations with just a year of courses under their belt—some of which focus less on science than social justice.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
First-year students spend three to four hours every other week in "Structural Racism and Health Equity," a required class that covers topics like "fatphobia," has featured anti-Semitic speakers, and is now the subject of an internal review. https://freebeacon.com/campus/pedagogical-malpractice-inside-ucla-medical-schools-mandatory-health-equity-class/
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
They spend an additional seven hours a week in "Foundations of Practice," which includes units on "interpersonal communication skills" and, according to one medical student, basically "tells us how to be a good person."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
The two courses eat up time that could be spent on physiology or anatomy, professors say, and leave struggling students with fewer hours to learn the basics.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"This has been a colossal failure," one professor posted in April on a forum for medical school applicants. "The new curriculum is not working and the students are grossly unprepared for clinical rotations." https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/ucla-medical-school-in-crisis.1494584/#post-24303365
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Nearly 1/4 of UCLA students failed three or more shelf exams in 2021, forcing some students to repeat classes and persuading others to postpone the Step 2 licensing exam that's typically taken in the third year of medical school and is a prerequisite for most residency programs. https://t.co/tpq5O76ejw
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Around 20 percent of UCLA students have not taken Step 2 by January of their fourth year, according to the data. Ten percent have not even taken the more basic Step 1—an "extremely high number," one professor said, that will force many students to extend medical school. https://t.co/X3RQrWlcjP
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
"It's a combination of a bad curriculum and bad selection," another professor said, referring to the admissions process. Some students are accepted with GPAs so low "they shouldn't even be applying."
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
As medical schools around the country adjust to the Supreme Court's affirmative action ban, the experience of UCLA offers a preview of how administrators may skirt the law and devise public-spirited excuses for violating it.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Lucero has told the admissions committee that each class should "represent" the "diversity" of California, including its remote and rural areas, so that graduating students will return to their hometowns and beef up the medical infrastructure there, officials say.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Race is rarely mentioned outright, and unlike the committee for anesthesiology residents, the committee for students does not see the race or ethnicity of applicants.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
Instead, officials say, Lucero uses proxies like zip codes and euphemisms like "disadvantaged" to shut down criticism of unqualified candidates, citing a statistic that, technically, most students with below-average MCATs make it to their second year of medical school.
@aaronsibarium - Aaron Sibarium
How well they do after that point goes undiscussed and undisclosed. "We have asked for metrics on how these folks actually do," one committee member said. "None of that is ever divulged to us."

Seattle Public Schools are now being forced to end all their gifted and talented programs because too many whites and Asians are qualifying “Starting this fall, all neighborhood schools in Seattle will have to incorporate gifted students into their classrooms. Typically, many of these highly capable students are either separated into different schools or what's known as cohorts where they're kept together so teachers can focus on their advanced needs. But Seattle Public Schools is getting rid of the cohort model in the name of equity. Historically, it boils down to highly capable cohorts having more white and Asian students and other races underrepresented. The Seattle government is forcing all of its public schools to end all their gifted and talented programs because too many whites and Asians are qualifying. They claim that this isn't equitable and that there needs to be more diversity. This decision from the Seattle government has garnered backlash online. Commenters claimed that this is a terrible decision and that this is unfair to the other students. But what do you think about this decision from Seattle?“ More info “Seattle schools phasing out highly capable cohort program. Many parents praised the quality of education at schools like Cascadia Elementary in North Seattle. Now, they're incensed by the district's plan to cancel all cohorts, phasing them out completely by the 2027–2028 school year” per Fox

This is a critical point that we must remember as we work to reverse America’s South Africanization: Framed as being for equality, civil rights, and such, there are many laws designed specifically to effect anti-white racism It’s those laws we must destroy🧵👇
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
First, as to South Africa, the main issue are the “Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment,” or BEE laws These are effectively affirmative action on steroids and compliance with them is required for any business that needs a license from or to work with the government must comply The state measures compliance via a scoring system that tracks compliance based on how companies use racial preferences to hire black workers, promote those black workers to management positions, and hand company ownership to blacks
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
This leads to obscene, country destroying distortions Not least of which, it effectively means that it is impossible to hire white workers, as at only ~7% of the population, quota-based hiring and promotion means only a few can ever be hired This can even lead to job cuts to meet quotas: electric utility Eskom, known mainly for constant rolling blackouts, was considering firing thousands of its experienced white engineers to meet racial quotas
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Similarly, the quotas and similar “diversity” requirements of BEE-style laws make it near impossible for white South Africans to get into universities or other professional schools So, you get laws that, in the name of “equity,” screen out nearly all of the white population from most schools and jobs And that’s before considering state hostility to whites that leads to non-investigation of farm murders and similar atrocities
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
While we don’t like admitting it, America is in a similar position and is seeing similar results; @realJeremyCarl does a great job documenting this in his “The Unprotected Class” We, like South Africa, have a great many anti-white laws that are leading to similar outcomes
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
For one, America has outright racial discrimination in government contracting that has been explicitly allowed by the Supreme Court This leads to situations where minority-owned contractors (sometimes just expensive fronts for white businesses) get government work despite being more far more expensive and doing lower quality work than the non-minority contractors against which they were bidding, purely because of their race And this does happen. Atlanta made it a requirement during the construction of Hartsfield-Jackson that a quarter of the contractors had to be minorities. That went as one would expect
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Then there are university admissions, and similar sorts of schools and programs, whether for professions or trades Though race quotas are technically banned and outright DEI admissions got limited by SCOTUS, now being only allowed for the military academies, there is still enough cover for administrators to be biased against whites in admissions, but not other ethnic groups. As the universities are full of Marxists, that’s what they generally do, as even merit based admissions get interpreted as “racism” due to disparate impact
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And that leads into the biggest issue: disparate impact Created by SCOTUS in Griggs v Duke Power and later codified as law by HW Bush, it means that any test for employment is illegal under CRA rules if it results in disparate impact against “protected classes,” even if there was no discriminatory intent So, as this effectively bans any IQ tests due to racial IQ difference, and bans similar tests of basic reasoning, it makes it near impossible for companies impacted by the CRA (15 or more employees) to hire the best candidates Instead, unless they have employment tests that are very, very narrowly tailored to the job, they effectively have to hire based on racial quotas, but with a slight yo major tilt against whites, as doing so will be interpreted by courts as discrimination against protected classes
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And this does happen A black woman won millions of dollars in a discrimination suit against Equinox gym because it fired her for not showing up on times…dozens of times. That was deemed discrimination Police departments, fire departments, and the like routinely lose disparate impact suits for tests requiring prospective hires to do basic tests of physical fitness and reasoning. Those are also deemed discrimination
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Our government is just less honest than South Africa’s about its anti-white racism So, instead of requiring the hiring of racial quotas, requiring anti-white discrimination, etc., it says that companies, colleges, and so on are not allowed to “discriminate on the basis of personal characteristics like race, gender, etc,” which generally sounds fair to most, at least at first. But the devil is in the details and in this case that devil is how such discrimination is interpreted: anything other than results showing different groups are perfectly equal in every way, the egalitarian holy grail, is considered discrimination. This effectively requires anti-white discrimination, but without saying as much
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
The results of going to legal war with nature and the differences in human capabilities it created are predictably South African California is on fire because of incompetence and the lesbian DEI commissar is on tape describing how she won’t rescue men from burning buildings Young white guys have trouble getting into college, effectively a requirement for good work because it fills (in expensive fashion) the purpose of the IQ tests that used to be used, and thus unable to get good work. They’re then berated for not pulling themselves up by the bootstraps, despite being legally forbidden from doing so, as we saw during the discussion surrounding H1bs Speaking of, companies being over multitudes of H1bs to fill diversity quotas with those who are at least marginally competent, which depresses wages and exacerbates the work issue All that and much, much more has turned America into a low trust country in which the tap water is often dangerously filthy, crime is high and getting higher, and deaths of despair are ever more common amongst white men
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And adding to this is how it plays out in the (in)justice system: Like farm murders in SA not being investigated out of spite and incompetence, men like Derek Chauvin who enforce the law are railroaded for doing so because enforcement of the law is effectively a disparate impact activity
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
All of that must be wiped away if America is going to get back on track Yes, culture and public opinion matter. But both are downstream of law And law should, if it is going to prohibit anything at all (preferably none of this would exist and all would just be preference, from home sales to corporate hiring), then it must prohibit discrimination of any sort, rather than all discrimination except anti-white discrimination The latter is what South Africa has done, and it’s a hellhole. It’s also what America is doing, and we’re turning into one
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
So, if the Trump administration really wants to Make America Great Again, it must rip away all the laws that are effecting America’s South Africanization If it doesn’t, and we continue on the same track as we’re on now and that Harris wanted to push us further along, nothing done will matter; all the tax cuts in the world matter little when the water and electricity run out…
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
This is one positive To answer Bannon’s question, they’re here because South Africa is awful due to the very policies that they need to destroy in this Trump administration So, theoretically, they know what needs to be done It remains to be seen if they will, though

The most fascinating aspect: These insights didn't come from mainstream media. They came from a 4-hour, unfiltered conversation where Marc could speak freely. This is the future of influence... The old gatekeepers are losing power:
@thefernandocz - Fernando Cao
Long-form podcasts and social media have created a new kind of thought leadership: • Raw and unfiltered • Deep and nuanced • Direct to audience No editorial oversight. No agenda. Just truth. Founders are now choosing this path deliberately. https://t.co/sjT1ctTDlY
@thefernandocz - Fernando Cao
Instead of op-eds in the NYT, Marc Andreesen's amplifying influence through: • Authentic podcast appearances • His OWN media empire at a16z • Regular engagement on X And any founder today should do the same. Because today, a personal brand is no longer optional:
@thefernandocz - Fernando Cao
You need to become a thought leader. It makes you the default option for: • New customers • Investors in your niche • Top talent looking to join great companies A personal brand is this generation's most powerful asset... https://t.co/9WjrfFL9uh
@thefernandocz - Fernando Cao
This is the new playbook for influence: • Share your authentic thoughts • Build direct relationships • Skip the middlemen In the attention & AI age, a personal brand is what future-proofs your business. The best founders, like Andreessen, are already taking advantage. Will you?

SCOTUS struck down affirmative action in ‘23, a win for merit over race. Yet woke colleges dodge it. Gleefully. Progressives today defy justice openly. Conservatives, why are we allowing ourselves to be outfoxed? 🧵 https://t.co/uF4kTbdSYA

Higher-Ed is now sidestepping anti-DEI enforcement through “race-neutral” tricks—socioeconomic proxies, essay loopholes. Where merit should rule, they cling to diversity dogma – only REBRANDED. How do we enforce SCOTUS’ intent? 2/3
@TomKlingenstein - Tom Klingenstein
After all, SCOTUS isn’t policing this—nor is anyone. Some schools appear to do the right thing, others game it. The Left’s war on fairness marches on. If we lose merit, we lose America. How do we hold the line against this subversion? Cleary, we have not defeated DEI. 3/3

DEI: Over 50% of medical students are accepted based on race and gender and not merit. Most white males who are more qualified and more likely to become the best doctors are excluded from US medical schools. https://t.co/HWUNFGTwAw

Commie jews are def trying to rugpull America’s middle-class for their lack of support for Israel with a bioweapon-AI one-two punch. The US tax payer funds genetic research that’s shared across all types of organizations & as is the case with COVID19/EcoHealth, used offensively.

The Trump admin’s push for AI & disbanding of the Health and Human Services Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID speaks volumes (https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/27/long-covid-hhs-secretary-advisory-committee-disbanded-trump-rfk-jr/).

The concept of a “red herring” is that a piece of information is published to intentionally mislead or distract from a more consequential underlying information…
@VrilNews - Real Vʀɪʟ News ⥥ 🇻🇦
The red herring, today, are COVID-19 vaccines (seemingly, mainly by Pfizer & Moderna), which make no mistake, are dangerous. Which is why they were pulled for children.
@VrilNews - Real Vʀɪʟ News ⥥ 🇻🇦
Even though these vaccines are deadly, the administration’s sole focus on them distracts from far more important and underlying information. What’s that, you might ask? Effects of COVID-19 itself, which was grafted together in a lab at expense of the US taxpayer.

Furthermore, alarming incidences of inversion and doublespeak are occurring where inverted versions of political reality are boosted on X’s “MAGA” accounts (https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-admin-approves-over-120000-h-1b-visas-for-2026-as-tech-industry-lays-off-thousands-of-us-workers).

In a clearly Kabbalah-inspired set of executive orders, like the Rotary Club explains in its own foundational description, the Trump administration purposely conflated religion with ethnicity in the following Executive Orders:
@VrilNews - Real Vʀɪʟ News ⥥ 🇻🇦
1.) E.O. 14202 - Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias (Feb 6, 2025 https://archive.is/dmj5V) 2.) E.O. 14188 - Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism (Jan 29, 2025, https://archive.is/uVj0Z)
@VrilNews - Real Vʀɪʟ News ⥥ 🇻🇦
By “conflating” religion (Christianity) with ethnicity (semitism, Jewishness), it purposely and executively disenfranchises Christians, the majority of which are white Europeans.
@VrilNews - Real Vʀɪʟ News ⥥ 🇻🇦
Additionally, Christian (specifically Catholic) scripture specifically states they are the “chosen people” as declared in the Holy Mass of His Holiness Leo XIV with the College of Cardinals, 09.05.2025:

“… 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗺 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻, so that we may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called us out of darkness into his marvellous light (cf. 1 Pet 2:9).” (https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2025/05/09/250509d.html)

This fact is further supported in the historically accurate biblical studies of Bertrand L. Comparet, a native Californian, born in San Diego. He was graduated from Stanford University with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor.

Anyone who incentivizes non-Whites over Whites for STEM education and employment should be herded into the sun with extreme prejudice. When this retarded boomer went to school and was hired, he didn't have to compete with endless third world trash because, at that time, universities and employers weren't forced to engage in judaized anti-White DEI practices.
