Okay, I'm doing tonight's local needs early, and I'm doing an unusual one. It's not life or death; not an emergency, although it *is* time-sensitive.

It's for our friend Jen, who runs the local dog rescue Taos Hound Underground.

Everyday is Indigenous Peoples Day but today we say FUCK COLUMBUS just a little louder.

Non-natives, a great way to acknowledge this day is to donate to Indigenous Led organizations that support and benefit Indigenous People directly.

This is why a certain % of the local population [yes, they are] are so violently opposing to renaming the local park, which, like so much else here, is named for an agent of genocide.

Kit Carson may have had a Native wife [not uncommon among genocidaires, actually], but he was a monster.

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 1d

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Just so we're clear: forced sterilisation falls under the definition of #genocide. And Quebec isn't the only province where this has been done to #Indigenous women.

There is no reconciliation without justice.

This is abhorrent. That this continues, now, TODAY, is an abomination. Quebec's racist attitudes persist, and provide yet another argument for centralizing the administration and control of health care federally. #CanadaSky🇨🇦 #FirstNations #Quebec

Nobel Peace Prize went to obama, the bomber, and kissinger, the butcher. That’s all you need to know about the credibility of this western award. María Corina Machado is a staunch zionist who begged netanyahu to intervene in Venezuela, and promises to hand over the country's oil to US corporations.

We didn’t meet any of our daily goals so this is the remainder to meet the week’s goal. Urgently need food, tents, warm items. The bombing decreasing doesn’t change that yall.

Dr. Divya 🇵🇸🧿 (offline) @divyampersaud.com · 4d

Every hope is lifesaving—still. So although support has massively slowed down for these six families—despite ongoing famine, all their homes destroyed, impending cold, a baby due soon (‼️)—we’ll still be here every hour or two.

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.

the rubicon was crossed at the supreme court, when they allowed a felon to run for president. everything else is mere consequences.

at this moment should be clear that nobody in the WH cares about america, much less about democracy if it ever existed there.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?
