🩺 HIPAA-don’t: The Government Just Declared Open Season on Your Medical Privacy
by Resistance Kitty, who believes your uterus, brain, and therapist notes are none of Uncle Sam’s damn business
Paws Up: They’re Coming for Your Health Data—And Your Dignity
HIPAA is hanging by a thread, and the government just handed the scissors to every anti-choice lunatic, cop, and corporate data broker in the country. Let’s break down how your most private medical info is becoming public enemy bait.
📉 The Platar Database Disaster: HIPAA’s Worst Nightmare
Over 2.7 million patient profiles and 8.8 million appointment records were leaked from the Platar database, exposing sensitive info like diagnoses, names, and treatment histories. It wasn’t encrypted. Not even a little. If you thought HIPAA had your back, think again.

🛑 Roe v. Wade Was About Privacy—And It’s Gone
Roe wasn’t just about abortion—it was built on your constitutional right to privacy. After it fell in 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services tried to patch things up with a new HIPAA rule in 2024. That rule made it harder to share reproductive health info. But in June 2025, a Texas judge struck it down completely. Now states can snoop on your reproductive and mental health history and turn it over to law enforcement.

🏕️ Executive Order 14788: Internment Camps Are Back—For the Poor and Vulnerable
On July 24, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14788, which gives states and cities full permission to round up homeless and mentally ill people and lock them in “rehabilitation camps.” No due process. No rights. Just a medical excuse to cage people society doesn’t want to look at. If you have a mental health diagnosis, you could be next.

đź”— Project 2025 Wants HIPAA Dead and Gone
Project 2025, the far-right master plan, openly supports dismantling HIPAA. Their goal? Make it easier for the government to access your health records, especially if you’re queer, trans, pregnant, mentally ill, or politically inconvenient. Surveillance is their favorite form of healthcare.

Kitty’s Final Claw Swipe
Your health info isn’t private anymore. Platar leaks, Project 2025, EO 14788, and Roe’s ghost are turning HIPAA into a joke with a tracking number. And if you’re marginalized, you’re at the top of the target list. They want to arrest your care, criminalize your body, and call it “order.” Time to claw back. We don’t beg for privacy—we fight for it.
