Exactly twenty-five years ago far right wing terrorists 'liberated' the Murrah building in Oklahoma.

When Trump calls upon his far right army of covidits to ‘liberate’ states he knows exactly what he is doing. When he keeps bringing up the 2nd amendment again and again and again at his press conferences he knows exactly what he is doing, as he explicitly aligns the two issues of ‘freedom’ and ‘violence’. He will happily see a plague across the land, and bloodshed to boot, to retain power. I think he would quite like a civil war of some sort, he really is that hideous.

He was watching a Disney video on the VCR and when the video ended, the regular TV channel came on with the news and the images. He saw the baby in the firefighter's arms. He came running to tell us.

The event took my son's innocence. He has had panic attacks ever since. He even went into a field that involves disaster management.

I had close professional connections with people who were killed that day. Public servants who worked to bring healthcare to rural and underserved communities.

It's so easy to destroy things, and so difficult to build good things.

was that this sort of thing, along with Watts riots sort of thing, would be happening again

I'm surprised it's not.

The bombing killed 168 people, including 19 children in a daycare. These people are trump's "base" - white supremacists, who claim they are christians hell bent on "taking back America".
