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.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Vultures don't circle until you're already dying.

Papers crippled themselves by giving content away online for years and then deciding too late to put up paywalls. They undervalued their intellectual property, weakening themselves enough that the vultures started to swoop in.

He's definitely built different than most. We've had a pretty fortunate run of elite athletes come through here recently.

Said it before but I'll say it again: I've covered numerous HS FB players who wound up playing on Sundays. Caden Curry is the best high school player I ever covered.

Now the rest of the country is seeing it too. Dude is a monster.

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

And I'm ashamed to admit it has sometimes taken me a long time to see through it.

Because they've somehow conditioned a not-insignificant amount of Americans to *also* be terrified of everything.

That's how you get people to vote against their best interests.

#4 sounds pretty awesome

The body language every time these two meet should be enough on its own to make this all obvious to MAGA, but…cults gonna cult:

That’s twice in the past year that I could not have been more wrong about somebody. So much for getting wiser with old age.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

“But with no towel…and no kiss”

Love it. Need to watch again soon.

And to expect someone to help you out with that.

Since last Friday, Max Clark is 12 for 24 with four doubles, two triples, six runs, two steals and two walks, raising his AA average from .188 to .321.

How has your work week gone?

Can he just go ahead and die already

Living through the warp-speed self-destruction of an empire is some wild shit.

If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.

Reversing Roe was never about “protecting life.” It was always about controlling women.

(And if they wanted birth rates up, maybe make it affordable to raise children.)

Does that mean your mower hasn’t won a title since 1973?

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's fascism.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.
