Reports that National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya will now lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on an acting basis.
Unacceptable. Bhattacharya has spent his career undermining infectious disease prevention measures and spreading health and science disinformation.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Love the centrist argument that we should only defend non-discrimination laws for trans people in employment and housing… as though it is possible to work when using the bathroom is illegal and your bones are disintegrating because your healthcare is banned.

The fundamental breaking of the social contract of neighbors helping neighbors feels evil in a way that's very hard to articulate.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

After Arkansas passed it's law banning care, it came out at trial when Dr. Michele Hutchison testified at least 4 trans youth in her care attempted suicide and were hospitalized. These anti trans laws are directly resulting in suicide attempts by trans youth.
The latest review from JAMA Pediatrics has uncovered that 26% of trans youth have attempted suicide. That's actual attempts, ideation was even higher.
The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common.
The latest from our writer S. Baum.

🧵 A lot of people are saying the DOGE Medicaid data release is a HIPAA violation. It isn't.
It doesn't contain individual patient records. But what it actually is, and what it's actually being used for, is worse. New post ⤵️

I warned that Paragon Health Institute would weaponize the DOGE Medicaid data release. Yesterday they published a brief targeting HCBS, autism services, medical transportation, and addiction treatment, core services disabled people rely on, as inherently fraudulent.
