Yesterday, the CDC changed a webpage to lie about vaccines and autism. Vaccines are an important part of public health. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill cannot be trusted to tell the truth. They must be removed from office immediately. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/kenn...
Gray background with blue text that says "Kennedy’s lies endanger public health and the disabled community. Full statement on website" The ASAN logo is below. White text on a blue box over a gray background says, "Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control radically rewrote a website addressing false claims linking vaccines to autism. Vaccines are important for protecting the public from dangerous infectious diseases. The science is clear. As the American Academy of Pediatrics stated, “Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism.” We deserve public health information we can trust to help us make important health care decisions for ourselves and with our loved ones. The only way to begin to rebuild the trust that HHS has broken is to remove Secretary Kennedy and Acting Director O’Neill from office immediately." The ASAN logo is below.

What is going on with SNAP? Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Federal Government Shutdown – a Disability Justice Analysis
A background with multiple shades of green and an abstract flower shape. The foreground in green and white text reads: “What is going on with SNAP? Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Federal Government Shutdown — a Disability Justice Analysis.” At the bottom is a label that says HealthJusticeCommons. A background with multiple shades of yellow and an abstract flower shape. The foreground in white text reads: “SNAP – commonly referred to as food stamps – is a United States federal government-run program that, since 1964, has provided monthly funds to lower income folks for purchasing groceries. Basic eligibility is determined based on monthly income and expenses, and each state has a different application process. In 2024, over 41 million – or, an estimated 1 in 8 people in the US – participated in SNAP. SNAP is run by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), an agency impacted by the federal government shutdown that began October 1. Source: Center on Budget & Policy Priorities.” At the bottom is a label that says HealthJusticeCommons. A background with multiple shades of blue and an abstract flower shape. The foreground in white text reads: “Why haven’t SNAP benefits been issued for November 2025? On October 24, the USDA informed states it would not utilize $5 billion in reserve funds to even partially pay out November SNAP benefits. The program costs an estimated $8 billion per month to run in full. This decision was a reversal of previous public guidance from the USDA stating it would utilize the contingency funds. Several states, cities, religious groups, and nonprofits have sued the Trump administration over its refusal to fund SNAP during the federal government shutdown. Source: The New York Times.” At the bottom is a label that says HealthJusticeCommons. A background with multiple shades of red and an abstract flower shape. The foreground in white text reads: “How does this crisis relate to Disability and Health Justice? The status of SNAP funding and benefit issuance has changed on a nearly daily basis due to the Trump administration’s actions and subsequent legal hearings. This has caused confusion, benefit freezes, and harm to the millions of people who rely on SNAP to survive. The SNAP crisis – like so many crises our communities face – is manufactured. It is an example of escalating ableism and eugenics on the part of the State.” At the bottom is a label that says HealthJusticeCommons.

We are enormously grateful to everyone who attended our political education series: Patty Taught Us: Dreaming Disability Justice Futures. We wish to share a few gems of crip wisdom from our amazing panelists: Maria Palacios and Lateef McLeod of Sins Invalid, Talila A. Lewis Co-Founder of HEARD.
Various shades of purple, Patty Berne’s favorite color, are layered with text and photos. In the top left corner are the words: Series Recap. Below that are two diagonal rows of rectangles, 3 in each row alternating between photos of Patty smiling in their power wheelchair, and text. The most prominent text, in white letters, reads: Patty Lives Through Us! The other text – which is crossed out – includes the words Medical Industrial Complex, Ableism, and Eugenics. In the bottom right corner, a label reads: HealthJusticeCommons. In the foreground is a quote by Maria Palacios in white lettering: “Disability Justice helps us and shapes us and holds us together by recognizing that needing one another is part of our strength, not a weakness. Interdependence is that link, that lifeline that allows us to connect, that allows us to keep learning, to keep recognizing our wholeness, our greatness, our beauty, and everything else that the non-disabled world wants to negate.” Behind the text are various shades of purple layered over three images of Maria in her wheelchair performing with or speaking on behalf of Sins Invalid. A label at the bottom reads: HealthJusticeCommons. In the foreground is a quote by Lateef McLeod in white lettering: “Patty Berne’s legacy must include an envisioning of the liberation of everyone and what the world will be like if we all were free. In my time with Patty – being a performer in many Sins Invalid performances and also a Sins Invalid intern – I learned many things from them. Like their tenacious work ethic; their unwavering political convictions; their commitment to building and nurturing their community around them; and the crip love they showed everyone. I try to emulate these values in my life to better myself and also honor her legacy.” Behind the text are various shades of purple layered over three images of Lateef speaking or performing. In two of the images, Lateef is accompanied by a background performer clad in black. In the center image, Lateef smiles in his power wheelchair. In the foreground is a quote by Talila A. Lewis in white lettering: “When you understand yourself as sacred, and you have self-determination and autonomy, and we understand our value, we don’t let anybody ... put their ‘brand’ on us. We reject your assimilation. We reject your normalization. We reject your compliance. I will remain intransigent. I will be a ‘drapetomaniac’ until the day I die because I was born free, live free, and will die free – just like all of my Ancestors and my relatives who were told that they were ‘enslaved,’ ‘incarcerated,’ ‘institutionalized,’ ‘ensheltered,’ ‘in/en-[whatever],’ ‘enfreaked.’” Behind the text are various shades of purple layered over three images of Talila A. Lewis, who is holding a small leaf.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.

But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."
Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut American science
It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.

New: Abortion bans are disproportionately hurting LGBTQ+ people.

“The attacks on gender-affirming care, the attacks on LGBT rights are about bodily autonomy in the same way that anti-choice efforts are attacks on our bodily autonomy," Caleb Smith, from @americanprogress.bsky.social told me.
Abortion Bans Are Making It Harder For Some People to Find Basic Health Care
