On June 12, 2016, the nation awoke to news of one of the worst mass shootings in American history. A gunman had burst into Orlando, Florida’s Pulse nightclub and opened fire, killing 49 and wounding 53. There was an outpouring of sympathy and vows that this crime would not be forgotten.
We’re now coming up to a decade since the massacre, and, it seems the Trump administration is doing everything they possibly can to pretend it didn’t happen. In Orlando, the victims were commemorated in low-key and tasteful fashion with a rainbow-painted crosswalk that sat directly outside Pulse.
