A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.

This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Oh god my last major project was about how Meta accessed and connected all your data

It ended up in Congress

Your health info being connected to your Facebook to possibly your FAFSA

even if you think it’s nothing in THEORY

Think directly and clearly about what you want to be known
Yes I know data privacy can feel pointless or like a losing battle. But it does matter.

Case in point, you may be fine with Zuck having all your data, but that also means you can't talk to your lawyer on Facebook Messenger lest you waive attorney client privilege without even realizing it.

Yall are honestly better than me because at this point ?

I look at folks who rush to do this as the next candidates for abusive BS .

Because they will fight super hard to preserve that illusion

And safe often means “nice to them”
I'm hearing people talk about making "safe author" lists/starter packs and hahahahaha holy shit that's a terrible idea. Just start drafting your "We had no idea" post now, because you're going to need it.

A MS lawmaker wants to lock up anyone who helps a teen get an abortion – 20 years to life in prison for giving gas money, driving them, or even letting them stay overnight. @jessicavalenti.bsky.social breaks down how this isn’t about “protecting kids.” https://buff.ly/4jcUoiP

The US government literally tried to do this 100 years ago (look up “The Narcotics Farm”) and it didn’t work and leads to worse outcomes (more deaths, more drug use) than doing nothing at all…
Well, this is horrifying.

"I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall..." -- RFK Jr, FOUR MONTHS AGO.

“One thing we actually know very well is that criminalization and prohibition of drugs drives people to use drugs in less safe ways and can actually increase risks of harms like overdose and death.”

Similar DEA policy to dramatically reduce opioid prescribing saw overdoses worsen, astronomically so

Although overprescribing can be an issue, doctors warn that over-regulating ketamine could reduce access

Many countries won’t accept deportation flights, so a LOT of people will end up indefinitely detained (aka, concentration camps), and private prison companies (aka, Trump donors) will financially profit from it. Some truly dystopian shit…

If you get rid of the creeper in your grassroots org NOW it wildly decreases his chances of high office LATER

Like if your org touts harm reduction you gotta start by reducing the harm caused by THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ORG
