What caused the Great Depression?
Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

Welcome to Trump's America, where one in four people live "paycheck to paycheck." That means their necessity spending (rent, groceries, etc.) exceeds 95% of income.
This study focused on Bank of America customers. I suspect the percentage is much higher.

Yes indeed. Look at Clay Higgins, the only member of Congress to vote against releasing the Epstein files, siding against survivors who deserve the truth. Louisiana deserves leaders who don’t shield predators.
Who don’t bury justice.

We Did This 🤬
More than 1/2 of the migrants sent to El Salvador‘s CECOT were NOT criminals.
Detainee’s were greeted with: “You arrived in hell”
They were tortured, brutalized & sexually assaulted. Guards forced them to kneel, shaved their heads, beat them with batons.

This constant abusive behavior by the President of the United States is incredibly triggering to SA and/or DV survivors.
Statistics state 1 in 6 women have been assaulted in our lifetime.
But we all know that number is even higher - coercion, threats, death, silence.
