Today is Pulse Day of Remembrance. Ten years ago today, 49 people were murdered and 58 others were injured at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, in what was at the time the deadliest mass shooting in American history, and the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. The club was holding a Latin Night and most of the victims were Latine. Below is the list of the victims killed in the shooting. Please take a moment to remember them. May their names be remembered and may their souls rest easy.
