This month marks five years since a white supremacist gunman who believed the lie of a supposed “Hispanic invasion of Texas” drove for 10 hours to the peaceful border town of El Paso to murder 23 innocent people who were simply going about their daily lives. It also marks seven years from the racist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, where following chants of “you will not replace us, Jews will not replace us” a white nationalist murdered Heather Heyer.
