In this episode of Black Butterfly Podcast, Drina O’Neill breaks down a flurry of Trump executive orders that could reshape daily life: federalizing D.C., opening 401(k)s to high‑risk alternative assets, a ‘Fair Banking’ shift that could cut off activists and small businesses, higher‑education outcome rules, and centralized grant control.

The episode explains what each order does, who stands to lose (HBCUs, community organizations, retirees, and marginalized cities), and why the changes are more than headlines — they hit rent, retirement, safety, and access to services.
Listen to learn the concrete impacts, how to prepare before the changes take effect, and why staying informed and organizing now matters.
