This is not getting enough attention- please rt and share- CDC has completely purged any and all information re: HIV and STIs, including guidelines for pregnant women and children/there are many docs who have archived info and trying to put up an alternative site to provide education

⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages!

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

There’s a 2014 documentary on Netflix called Born in Gaza. Watch it. Understand why it’s a prison.
