Ah yes, voting Harris, classic white male behavior. /s

No. Dr Li was fleeing with it to China.

Racists were spouting that shit before and after this guy stole shit, that doesn’t justify dismissal of all sentiment against what this man did.

Because the Chinese Government get a big fat paycheck out of it and they use that paycheck to fucking destroy people’s lives, put people in labor camps, topple governments, monetize every facet of everyone’s lives, and push their own authoritarian regime’s agenda.

Breast cancer does not only affect women, but I feel empathy for the Uighur women that China has been sterilizing and putting in slavery.

Feels weird to ratio a tankie, did ya’ll lose access to a bunch of burner accounts?

I think the optics are pretty good, here. Hostile nation sends a spy, spy gets caught, spy goes to federal prison.

Conflating a hostile nation with a race is the true racism, tbh. It would be like saying Taiwan or Hong Kong are all Chinese, that’s just wrong and offensive.

Not all of it, only a part of it. MD Anderson Cancer Research Center is and has always been a part of Private Sector Research.

The Office of Research Administration (ORA) is the central office responsible for the support of activities related to research, including internal funding, private industry funding, material transfer agreement and endowed awards. ORA also provides research infrastructure oversight as it relates to offsite freezer storage, research glassware and media facilities.

ORA serves as the authorized signing official for MD Anderson for execution of private industry and material transfer agreements. Through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), ORA supports the application and administration of pre-award federal funding and external funding, including the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). ORA also manages several internal endowed awards that recognize the achievements of MD Anderson faculty and researchers. The endowments which support these awards were established through the generosity of philanthropic donors, including several MD Anderson Board of Visitors members.

Last year it generated 12.8 Billion dollars in revenues.

The research got funded in part on the expectation of return on investment.

Yunhai Li, 35, was originally detained at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston in on July 9 after federal agents found medical records on his laptop during an inspection ahead of his flight to China, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Now Houston prosecutors have charged the researcher with theft of trade secrets, which is a third-degree felony, and tampering with a government record, a misdemeanor. He could also face federal charges in the future.

Since 2022, the MD Anderson Cancer Center had employed Li where he was working on a vaccine to prevent breast cancer from spreading, the New York Post reported.

Li reportedly was working on a scholar exchange visa from the U.S. Department of State. The National Institutes of Health and the Defense Department was funding the research.

Yeah, Breast cancer sucks, but the Chinese Government is a much bigger existential threat and their spies should be properly made example of.

Its the entire DNC platform. Any Democrat would give us that.

JFK was very left wing except for all of the times he bombed people for little to no reason at all.

Thats why I called it his foreign policy failures. He had a couple of successes, too, but Jimmy Carter had a much better track record with peace and making allies.

Excuse me for thinking socialized healthcare, taxing the rich, and free education is the solution, clearly you disagree and think it’s all just fascism with extra steps.

Got it, you’re an accelerationist who wishes Trump wins a third term.

A bit disingenuous to say Carter was the outlier and saying Lindon B. Johnson was somehow the baseline.

A reborn dem party without a majority is just endorsing the nazis remain in power.

Trump’s control of 4,000 Cali National Guardsmen went to court and sadly the courts sided with Donald Trump, other states have actually willingly sent National Guard to help Trump occupy cities he disagrees with.

Jimmy Carter was an okay president. Despite his “decrease government spending” stance he was still able to establish the US Department of Education, continued the promotion of peace and aid to impoverished and war-torn regions (a stark reversal of the more aggressive policies of JFK’s foreign policy failures, as well as policies of Ford and Nixon). Due to economic insecurity of the time he lost in a landslide to Reagan who went on to cut taxes for the rich, very unfortunate.

IMO the best chance was in 2016 and when it failed the fallout was catastrophic. We can encourage people vote for our preferred candidate in the primary without insulting the opponent and creating tribalistic divides in the progressive party.

He’s also redistricting California and refusing to cooperate with Trump like other states have, such as volunteering national guard or mandating police cooperate with ICE, although the only instance I personally know of the police cooperating with ICE was in Denver Colorado and the state is now suing the deputy involved in that scandal.

That sad, it’s not really fair to compare Newsom doing stuff to federal congressmen because, and this is true, congress is not currently in session for the entire month of August with the exception of very few senate meetings and scheduled hearings.
