Cinotti (also known as Eric Andrew Cinotti and Eric Cinotti) with co-host Bianca Sea, confronts America’s silent crisis: the abandonment of disabled citizens during disasters. Guest Darren Dione Aquino, a 9/11 survivor and ADA civil rights advocate, exposes the failures of FEMA, DHS, SSA, and VA to protect the disabled. He discusses ADA Advocates’ Rapid Response Division, his decision to walk away from the NYC mayoral race, and the collapse of ADA enforcement. This is more than awareness—it is legal enforcement, and it is survival. Talking Points Rapid Response: Why Darren built the unit FEMA wouldn’t. Walking Away from Politics: Why leaving the mayoral race opened greater doors. ADA Enforcement Collapse: Who’s responsible for hollow Title II enforcement. Disaster Abandonment: Why disabled citizens are left to die. Civil Rights vs. Charity: Why the ADA is federal law—not optional kindness. Quotes “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” — Benjamin Franklin “The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the twilight of life, and the shadows of life.” — Hubert H. Humphrey Call to Action 360x365—If you’re waiting for someone else to show up, you’re already too late. Demand real ADA enforcement. Support the forgotten. Build the plan no one else is building.
