All of the websites and databases that were built with YOUR tax dollars that are getting purged and dumped right now contained the product of many years of good research and many many millions of dollars that are simply being dumped down the drain.

The CDC took down its HIV prevention webpage

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages!

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

The CDC has removed data on sexual orientation, gender identity, and health disparities from their website.

Pages removed include:
- Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System
- Social Vulnerability Index
- Efforts to Address Racism as a Fundamental Driver of Health Disparities

[Scott Hadland, MD @DrScottHadland]

The NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office website has been taken down.

LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately subjected to violence, discrimination & stigma, affecting their health outcomes.

Ignoring these facts endangers us all.

Many, many people woke up this morning feeling like the next 4 years are impossible or even unlivable.

thinking about the incarcerated people who were left behind during the hurricane, who weathered the storm in cages, who may not have power or water or any way of contacting their loved ones outside the walls. prison abolition is a climate issue

The harms of mass incarceration do not just affect incarcerated people. It has far-reaching consequences that traumatize far too many Americans.

“Of America's incarcerated individuals, more than 92% are fathers, and more than 2 million children have at least one parent in prison”

Heatwaves are particularly deadly for incarcerated people – especially in the Northeast.

Evidence suggests that the region is less acclimated to extreme temperatures & less equipped to handle heatwaves, especially for prisons.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Many people are detained in jail pretrial essentially because they are too poor to afford bail.

~25% of all cases are eventually dismissed, meaning a significant number of people are arrested but never convicted of a crime – while paying into “welfare funds.”

Today, days after recent violent arrests of protesters on Emory’s campus, Gov. Kemp signed a bill that disallows charitable bail funds from bailing out more than 3 people per YEAR in Georgia. The bill also adds more protest-related non-bailable offenses. https://t.co/Ufx6noJKRi
