There would be a huge ceremony followed by humanitarian award nominations and on the third day the healthcare plan would be quietly withdrawn

Haha! My favourite part of a colonoscopy is when the doctor comes out and tells you that you don’t have cancer. May it be so!

They are exactly what you will need!!

A War Against the People: Fascism will Steal Everything From Us 42 million Americans will lose food assistance this week. This is a crime against the people.

Over 40 million people will lose their food assistance because the wealthy require fascism to further line their pockets.

We have to link arms and take care of one another while recognizing these motherfuckers will take everything unless we stop them.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

My favorite part of this is where he figures out how to block the telemetry and a few days later the vacuum gets "updated" with a command to stop working.

So lovely to see these two young people together with a great public profile! Bukola is a local and a delightful person in every way. Keep on reading, everyone!!

So lovely to see the two of you together and with a great public profile!

I listened to this on the commute today. Highly recommend. Brannen and Wyman both influenced my chapter in Future of Denial on the history of Earth told through CO₂ levels

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

Incredible. History through prayer!

We will go back to the days when philosophers talked about perceiving and knowing "the red barn"
