When President Trump vowed a "tide of change" in his inaugural address last year, he was not exaggerating.
One year in, those changes are everywhere, often turbulent and polarizing, manifestations of the sharp right turn that Mr. Trump promised for the country and the world.
The president has declared that his power is constrained only by his "own morality." That sentiment has made itself felt in the aggressive immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and other cities, which has led to one death.
The Times found evidence of change in all 50 states, no place left untouched. This is by no means a complete list.
