The obsession with "debate", "finding common ground" with reprehensible people and the assertion that both sides of a political issue are equally likely to be correct or moral annoys tf out of me.

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.

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....

You're right the entire concept is based on the idea of using something without consent.

White people make up over 70% of the population in Portland.
Also, can you think of any reasons why POC might not feel as safe as white people engaging police?

Trumps head of operations for the war being waged in Chicago is openly trying to channel the supposedly masculine imagery of the Nazis

Make no mistake these domestic enemies waging war against the states are Nazis.

Bovino is really trying to sell its aesthetic now.

Bovino standing in a Trenchcoat in a hallway lit red. It’s giving Temu fascism.

I dont code or use LLMs really but I cant imagine using one to write code and not at least having the awareness to delete EMOJIS in it.

The way to become an important public intellectual is to bravely agree with one of the three or four positions established ten years ago such as "trans people are being too pushy" or "the government actually should be allowed to fire liberal professors at private universities"

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

To be clear: if you are celebrating any of these anti-Indigenous holidays — fuck you and ya momma.

You're deciding to celebrate something that kicked off what we are presently experiencing in both ICE raids and other forms of the ongoing genocide against Indigenous peoples on this continent 🖕🏾

I really need people to stop platforming MTG just because she said some basically reasonable shit recently.
.
She did a song about herself with Forgiatto Blow, the MAGA rapper who just did a song about lynching black people.
She blamed the fires in Hawaii on Jewish space lasers.
Stop it.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Are you even at any protests?
Or are you just sitting at home watching CNN and getting mad at POC?
If you're at protests where at?
