A federal website for information on reproductive rights and healthcare access is suddenly down, following Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. Reproductiverights.gov seemed to be offline as of last night, CBS reports.

The Biden administration launched the website in 2022 in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. On top of information about abortion rights, the website also included resources on accessing preventative care, including breast and cervical cancer screenings, prenatal care, and HIV screening. (The Internet Archive has a snapshot of what the website looked like as recently as January 15th.)

Between this, the Spanish language White House site, and the CBP app, there were obviously people just waiting to hit the "off" switch.

I'm not surprised, though I am concerned at just how quickly it happened. Trump's a lot more prepared this time around.

It's not Trump, it's the Heritage foundation and the federalist society. They made a wish list and a plan to implement it no matter what, even if it causes a civil war. Not being hyperbolic on that, that's their plan, from their own mouths.

Remember that when you see Trump doing things that will likely provoke or cause violence. It's intentional, so they can declare martial law, use the insurrection act, and take over complete rule. They're looking at ways to close the borders because of bird flu, regardless of any legitimate reason, they want the border closed so they can shoot anyone attempting to cross.
