Stopping development could put cures of chronic diseases such as cancer and HIV out of reach."

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people.

When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time.

But this is the party of “family values,” right?
Trump administration to shut down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer utilize its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."

RFK Jr. is wrong: A.I. cannot and SHOULD NOT replace the human expertise & clinical judgement of RNs.

The in-person assessment skills & critical thinking of RNs are essential to high-quality patient care. The hands-on work of caring for other people can't be automated. 🧵(1/4)
