Before going to bed, I did a last look on Twitter and saw the hashtag #trumpburialpits trending. I thought it would be just some tag being used to rant. Instead, I found that it was from people posting about drone video footage of a mass grave on Hart Island. It’s one thing to intellectually know about something like this. It’s something else to actually see it.

x This drone footage captures NYC workers burying bodies in a mass grave on Hart Island, just off the coast of the Bronx. For over a century, the island has served as a potterÃ¢ÂÂs field for deceased with no known next of kin or families unable to pay for funerals. pic.twitter.com/wBVIGlX6aK Ã¢ÂÂ NowThis (@nowthisnews) April 9, 2020
