So I was reading this article about Trump’s crackdown on DEIA initiatives, and I must admit, I didn’t know what the A stands for in that acronym. So I looked it up and and it’s accessibility.

Which raises the question: doesn’t killing accessibility programs violate the Americans with Disabilities Act? To my knowledge, the ADA is still very much in force.

Another possible angle to mete some justice to this depressing heartless man…

    most likely: yes, but conservatives largely disapprove of the ADA and think it is an onerous government regulation, so they are in favor of dismantling and gutting it by any means necessary. this should be thought of more as a feature, not a bug
