From the ashes of a deadly pandemic made worse by Trump's first term, Americans had begun to reclaim a sense of safety and progress in the Biden years—until the return of Trump to office plunged the nation instantly back into chaos, unease, and danger. Does anyone feel safe in Trump’s America?
Donald Trump and his Administration won’t say this, so we will:
Happy Black History Month.
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
