First slaves in America were Irish Catholics sold by Cromwell.

Yep.

The first time I read early 19th century American writings on the Irish, I was aghast.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Rubio tells Orban ‘your success is our success’ during Hungary visit ahead of elections During a visit to Budapest Monday, just weeks before Hungary’s parliamentary elections, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that the nationalist leader’s “succ...

What an utter disgrace Marco Rubio is.

"'I can say to you with confidence that President Trump is deeply committed to your success because your success is our success,' Rubio said during a joint press conference with Orban after their meeting."

The essence of the Big Lie

And the ultimate hypocrite

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Most of the Cubans that fled during the revolution, and by the same token most of the old Miami Cuban community, identified white. That's Rubio's community, that's why he's a Republican. He thinks he's a conquistador himself.

"Countrymen and Friends, you are not ignorant of the rumor by which we understand that the Spaniards are come among us, neither am I now to tell you how they have used the inhabitants of Hapti (so the call Hispaniola, in the Indian language) you know it by a sad experience: nor can we hope to find them more merciful then they did." Then quoth he, "Countrymen do you know the Errand which brings them higher?" To whom they replied, that was unknown to them, yet they further replied, that that they were well assured of the cruel nature of the Spaniard. Then quoth he, He tell ye the cause of their coming. They do worship some covetous and unsatisfied Deity, and to content the greedy worship of that Celestial Power, they require many things from us, using all their endeavor to murder and enslave us. Which having said, taking up a little Chest filled with Gold, he proceeded in these words: Behold here the God of the Spaniards and therefore if you think sitting, let us dance and sing before this their God, Perhaps we may thereby appease his rage, and he well then command the Spaniards to let us alone: Who with an unanimous shout cried out all, Well said, well said; and so they went to dancing round this box, not ceasing till they had sufficiently wearied themselves. Then the Lord Hathvey going on with his speech, quoth he, If we do keep this God till he be taken from us, we shall be surely slain, and therefore I think it expedient for us to cast it into the River; so his counsel being followed, the Chest was cast into the River.

From Bartolomé de las Casas “A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies”.

I was wondering what “Man” he was talking about and thinking “he can’t possibly mean Columbus, can he?” because it makes no sense even in the context of babbling white supremacist nonsense

“Settled and built this nation”…??? Columbus didn’t even LAND here! Or build anything! He stole stuff and left

Santo Domingo where he did land is close. Same slave society, same institutional racism.

“Stole stuff and left” Sort of an early private equity vibe.

I think for fans of the Donroe Doctrine that's a triviality. They think the US has a white supremacist obligation to control everything in the Caribbean and the "Gulf of America" and Columbus brought it on (Christopher = "Bearer of Christ").

it's funny in a way, but the rubio speech is an AI-quality imitation of an Obama speech, but with ethnonationalism replacing pluralism. It's as if the prompt were, "write me an obama speech but make it white supremacist." Hasn't been president in a decade but they're still biting

PSA - I requested a certified copy of my birth cert to update my passport. My birth state had no record of me! When they finally found it, my name was wrong. A completely different middle and last name but tied to my parents. Women get your records now. Especially if you have a different last name.
