I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

Why isn't news of Trump building vast concentration camps being treated as a national emergency?

Live: Judge orders release of suspects in alleged shovel attack on agent Department of Homeland Security says agent fired in self-defense after being attacked with a snow shovel and broom.

"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

And they almost shot some kids in the process.
