A black graphic with orange header text and white body text US Consumers continue to be burdened with Trump’s tariffs. “Consumers in the U.S. have absorbed an estimated 22% of tariff costs through June, but their share will rise to 67%,” according to research by Goldman Sachs. “American businesses have taken around 64% of the hit from tariffs so far, their share will fall to less than 10% as they pass on more of the costs onto consumers”

A black graphic with pink header text and white body text Individuals detained by ICE continue to face inhumane conditions. In the past, cells were used to hold migrants for just a few hours, but amid the Trump’s crackdown, migrants often remain there for days or more than a week. A lawsuit has been filed in New York against inhumane conditions, which include sleeping on the concrete floor or sitting upright, lack of access to legal counsel, and are subjected to a “horrific stench” emanating from toilets.

A black graphic with orange header text and white body text The Epstein Files still have not been released.

A black graphic with pink header text and white body text Texas Republicans are still trying to steal up to 5 congressional seats.

A black graphic with orange header text and white body text Trump has federalized the D.C. police and called in the National Guard. He claims crime has increased, but crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low as of January 2025. This is a distraction tactic and ANOTHER way to show force and intimidate average American citizens. D.C. becoming an official state would take much of this power away from him.

A black graphic with pink header text and white body text Public Media Funding has been completely slashed. The Rescissions Act passed, stripping $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media.

A light blue graphic with black text, there are three dark blue butterflies along the edges. The ADA does not mandate accessibility in private housing, leading to a shortage of accessible housing. The ADA does not provide guidelines for accessible digital content, therefore it has not stayed as relevant with modern technology. The ADA does not provide marriage equality. In order to get the legal and social protections of marriage, many people have to give up their insurance, which many disabled people cannot afford to lose. The ADA promises “reasonable accommodations” which is incredibly vague and unclear language leaves room for harmful misinterpretation.

A light blue graphic with black text, there are two dark blue butterflies along the edges. ADA education is not mandated for important professions like law and medicine. The ADA is “enforced” by several federal offices and departments, leading to confusion for where people should go with complaints or issues. Many challenges or changes must go through the court system which can be expensive and take a long time. Additionally, if an individual or entity is found to have violated ADA rights there is no money awarded to the person whose rights were compromised. There are no punitive damages awarded, either.

Here are some examples of when the ADA isn't enough ⬇️

A light blue graphic with black text, there is the white silhouette of a woman in the background. The ADA is Younger Than Taylor Swift The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989. Swifties for Hope

A light blue graphic with black text. What is the ADA? It is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in many areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and many public and private places that are open to the general public. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. It provides the bare minimum of protections for disabled Americans… but it isn’t enough. adata.org

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law 35 years ago on July 26, 1990.🦋✨
