Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

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.

I don’t see how #PEPFAR can survive without #USAID. We’re on the verge of 22 million people, including 6 million CHILDREN, losing access to life-saving HIV medications. This is an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in the making.

One of the biggest public health / #HIV successes of the past several decades being willfully unraveled before our very eyes. The callousness & shortsightedness are astounding.

PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

It’s already begun; institutional leaders should be taking this seriously. Even though it was expected for anyone who read about Project 2025, it’s no less alarming. Pay attention, folks. It’s a *long* way until Nov. 2028.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Bullying vulnerable queer kids, robbing them of hope for a life free from antagonism, is *evil* & of course it leads to an increase in suicidality. I know of what I speak firsthand. Ideological politics influence public health outcomes. This is our lane. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #epiSky #statsSky #causalSky #PublicHealth
