This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...

This is putting people’s lives at risk. More than at risk. Write to your representatives. Show up at protests. Donate your time or your money. This is not the time to sit on the sidelines.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

I was so distracted by ALL the other stuff that I completely missed this. This is clearly by design. Sewing confusion and chaos so we miss the big things.

NSF racial equity program archived this week? Research.gov still lists our proposal (submitted in October 2024) as “pending” but the NSF website no longer has any awards listed for this program announcement…. “Award search is down.”

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.

In reality, it's the start of the 2nd Segregation era. But this one dramatically expands the list of targeted minorities. Conversely, it's also a new DEI regime for white males.
