🧵What’s going on with Title X family planning funds — and why everyone should care: TL;DR: The Trump administration froze $65M in funds that were used for birth control, STI tests, & cancer screenings (funds do not cover abortions) for low-income patients. It’s a public health disaster.

What's one real cost of Donald Trump's crackdown against immigrants and universities? More unnecessary suffering for Americans from diseases like cancer. It's wrong, and we must push back against this extremism.

Good time to subscribe to Wired. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure at the newsstand, a holdover from nerdy youth. But they are doing an excellent job covering key elements of our political reality.
