Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

An astonishingly large crowd!

Feeling no longer alone in this. Good trouble is good for the soul.

Ramaswami foretold it would be jocks and cheerleaders. And here we are

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.

Where have all the fiscal conservatives gone?

No one will ever be more of an ingrate than JD Vance hating Ivy League elites and liberal media, the people who elevated his glorified college admissions essay about hating his mom

President Pritzker is going to get record ratings when he takes a wrecking ball to that ballroom on prime time TV.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

This is giving Red Wedding vibes. I hope I’m wrong.

Can someone explain to me why we would bail out Argentina, when we were told that Milei had fixed everything?

We are all going to wake up just as disappointed as they are that they are still here and the rapture didn’t work. Again.

"WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD BECAUSE SOME OF THAT PUBLIC GOOD MIGHT GO TO SOMEONE I DON'T LIKE" is part of how we got to where we are in 2025

It’s a burka.

St Edith would never. Shh blocking you now. Seek therapy for your religious delusions. You give Catholics a bad name.

Your bible seller is a convicted rapist pedophile. What’s your point?

Oh sweetie. You are glorifying a narcissistic pedophile. Your false god and false Catholicism. You’re a sacrilege.

St Edith is the patron saint of empathy. Do your homework

A fraud and a cynic. You and your trump.

Trump administration moves to make US citizenship harder with revised civics test.

Trump couldn’t pass an 8th grade civics test. Yet here we are. Perhaps we should make these mandatory for any federal government position.

Musk is the immigrant inciting civil war in Europe. So he’s telling on himself.

WATCH: “Americans, you’re getting shafted.”

@drmichaelsays.bsky.social on the obscene medication costs in 🇺🇸 vs. the rest of the world. Our system is broken. #MedicareForAll

a white 18-wheeler is parked on the curb. a gray sedan is wedged underneath the truck, its front end smashed in. the scene is surrounded by cones and police tape

officers from various agencies are standing around in the street. some vests show local police, others don’t include an agency or just say “police.” a firetruck is parked.

scenes from franklin park, illinois, where the department of homeland security is saying ice agents killed someone this morning.

lots of details still murky.

Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were murdered by Trump supporter - DT did not even acknowledge it - no one in House or Senate asked for moment of silence or lowering of flag.
