… content from the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which includes data from a national survey, has disappeared; so have parts of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index and the Environmental Justice Index. The CDC’s landing page for HIV data has also vanished. And the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis, is down.

Now the attempt to kill the web archive makes sense.
I view myself as pretty level headed and skeptical of conspiratorial thinking, but I’m beginning to wonder the same thing.
Project 2025 was no conspiracy theory, it’s their literal playbook.
I’m specifically talking about the DoS/hacks/lawsuits against the Internet Archive, not anything about Project 2025.
First the Jan. 6 Database, now CDC content… They’re just going to try to erase any and all information they don’t like, hmm? I hope every agency has everything quadruple backed-up at the very least.
I am so looking forward to another week on Lemmy full of assholes telling me I should care more about Palestinians than my own child because queer people are safe in America and Palestinians are dying.
(And any queer Palestinians in America? Fuck them, I guess. That’s the message I seem to be getting.)
WhY dO yOu SuPpOrT GeNoCiDe JoE?
But for real, I could also ask why Lemmy mods/communities perpetuate this same BS. There’s an argument to neutrality but the overall narrative is getting pretty wild.
It was bad enough before the election, but this is just denial of what is actually happening in order to justify what they’ve said before.
It’s a willing disbelief to justify apathy? I can’t find any other logically valid explanations…
It’s like enough folks have their head in the sand for their own sake to allow this to happen…
Squid, as a highly stressed out banana who also needs to touch grass, I implore you, seriously, please touch grass.
As someone who has been told every single fucking day to put other people’s needs above his daughters and also told every single fucking day that there is no need to worry about a queer genocide in the U.S., I implore you, seriously, to block me if you don’t want me talking about how both claims are fucking ludicrous and how pissed off I am to have that thrown at me every fucking day.
So I am sorry you don’t want people to talk about an impending genocide, but I really do not give a flying fuck about it stressing you out to hear about it any more than I would give a fuck about it stressing you out to hear about the Holocaust in the 1940s.
So I am sorry you don’t want people to talk about an impending genocide
Quite the contrary. Say it loud and say it proud.
how pissed off I am to have that thrown at me every fucking day.
This part. This is the part that makes me think “He needs a break.” And again, I say that as someone who also needs a break.
Maybe that’s projection. I don’t know. All I know is this is the first week that has left me seriously thinking about just deleting all my accounts, taking a break from the doom scrolling, and waiting for the dust to settle. The unproductive, bad faith, aggressive discourse on top of what is actually happening is mentally and physically exhausting.
You’re still putting your time and energy into emigrating, right? That’s got to be an exhausting process for a whole family to handle as it is.
I implore you, seriously. Take a few days away from being terminally online. “Flood the zone” is in full effect right now. This is the part where they’re purposefully wearing us down. Save some of that energy for later.
Maybe it’s not my place to offer that advice. I certainly don’t know you personally. But you remind me a lot of me when I’m overwhelmed. Sorry about the bad-taste post before.
Squid, as a highly stressed out Kay who also needs to speak out against oppression and violence, I implore you, seriously, please keep up the good fight.
Thank you, and you as well!
They’re really trying to kill off all the poor huh
It’s deeper than that. Trump literally thinks disease, illness, deformities are “weakness” and that they must be eradicated.
Like Hitler, he doesn’t understand genetics and that two healthy people can produce offspring that has issues. Genetics isn’t perfect, “mistakes” get made.
Further, two healthy intelligent adults does not automatically beget a child who is a healthy and intelligent. Nor do two unintelligent parents automatically beget unintelligent children. (Ask me how I know the second one)
He will kill millions to “prove it.”
“They were weak, if they weren’t they wouldn’t have died when we put them in conditions that would kill anybody” or some dumb shit is probably his thought process.
Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing. I remember he secretly got the Covid vaccine while denying it even existed
Trump and good genetics don’t mix
They’re really trying to kill off all the
poorqueer people huhI can almost guarantee you he thinks they all have AIDS, not even just HIV, just by virtue of being queer.
What was once up can return, and I don’t think a blackout of information over 4 years will matter that much long term (people have other sources for correct HIV prevention information, for instance).
It is more concerning how unequipped we’ll be during the next pandemic since our agencies are cutting ties to international allies to help track illnesses. If it’s like the first time, it’ll suck although at least it’ll kill off his followers in higher numbers than innocent people.

Like COVID?
