Ex-Cleveland manager Terry Francona to Trump wanting Indians name to return: “[Trump says], ‘Why can’t it be like it used to be?’ And I my retort would be, ‘There’s probably a lot of people in this country who don’t want it like it used to be.’ And if you’re white, (you’re) probably just fine.”

Congress Passes Blank Bill For Trump To Write Whatever Law He Wants

Trump removed Medgar Evers, a fearless veteran and civil rights leader, from an Arlington Cemetery website commemorating Black soldiers.
Now the Pentagon may strip his name from a naval vessel.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
