Two moments in time, two vastly different outcomes.

Hope then, fear now.

But we are resilient, and the American people will not forget what Donald Trump and most congressional Republicans took from the working class and low income Americans, to give to the wealthiest.

The Israeli military is flattening any remaining buildings and bombing tents to ensure that Palestinians have no place to shelter.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.
