New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets.

Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical.

OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law.
