NEW - In Unburdened

Pete Hegseth has lived a life of excess, alleged abuse and fraud, and hateful rhetoric

His incompetence emphasizes the Trump regime’s focus on those who are summarily incapable of guiding while working to destroy the organizations they lead

Pete Hegseth Is Unfit and Inadequate

The Secretary of Defense is an embarrassing, hateful, petty little man

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The lack of due process the Trump regime is using has been relegated to marginalized communities and groups

What's different is that people who look like me are being threatened and affected the same way economically disadvantaged, communities of color, and disabled people have been for a long time

This HAS to be the plot of a Ray Bradbury short story

The white light
This will be used as a special sign to indicate to drivers that autonomous vehicles are controlling the road at that moment. Today, traffic lights tell us when to stop or go on, but autonomous cars can communicate among themselves and with these traffic lights to organize the traffic flow in a faster and more precise way than humans.

When there are enough autonomous cars near an intersection, the white light will turn on. This would mean that cars are coordinating the traffic automatically. So, human drivers wouldn’t have to do anything differently, just simply follow the car in front of them (if that car is an autonomous one, it will know exactly when to continue or stop).

Of course traditional lights (red, yellow, and green) will continue working as usual. The white light will only show up when there are many autonomous cars coordinating among themselves.

Oh, so Columbus wasn't a slave trader, he just captured a bunch of natives and sold them as slaves, got it

FICTION: COLUMBUS WAS A SLAVE-TRADER.

FACT: Columbus never owned any slaves or brought any to the Western Hemisphere from Africa.

During his first voyage in 1492, Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican
Republic). There, with the help of a tribe of friendly Taino Indians, he built a fort called Navidad and left
40 of his crew there when he returned to Spain in January 1493.

On his return to Hispaniola in November 1493, he learned that all his men had been massacred by another
Taino tribe. Columbus and his men fought with these Indians, capturing about 2,000 and in 1495, sent 500
of these prisoners of war (POW) to Spain to be sold as slaves, as was the custom in 15th century Europe. He
sent another 30 Indian POWs to Spain the following year, but the Spanish monarchs ordered him to stop
the practice and he never again sent Indians to Europe to be sold as slaves.
