Of the first 500 enslaved Indigenous people that Christopher Columbus sent back to Spain, 250 died en route. Over the following decades, hundreds of thousands more died working in the gold mines and sugar plantations of Hispaniola and resisting Spanish domination. Today, we honor their resistance.

As protesters tear down statues and "experts" debate their merits, we review the deeds of Christopher Columbus and the tycoon who commissioned the statue of him in modern-day St. Louis.

This unethical vaccine study puts children’s lives at risk. Referring to kids who receive the placebo as having “lost the lottery” only confirms that those in charge know what they’re doing is wrong. They’re deliberating exposing helpless kids to hepatitis B.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

Honouring MARY ANN SHADD CARY Oct 9 1823 to June 5 1893 First Black Woman Publisher in North America & the very First Woman Publisher in Canada🇨🇦1853 • youtu.be/KpBlHj2jS_8 • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_An... • www.canadashistory.ca/explore/wome... #BlackWomen #Women #CanadianHistory #history

In 1853, Mary Ann launched The Provincial Freeman, Canada's first antislavery newspaper. She was the first Black woman newspaper editor in North America. She personally smuggled copies of the paper across the border into the U.S. so that her message could reach as many Americans as possible. Mary Ann
Shadd was the first of 13 children born into a prominent abolitionist family in Delaware on 9 October 1823. Her father, Abraham Doras Shadd, was a shoemaker in Wilmington, Delaware, and a leader among Delaware's free Black community. Her mother was Harriet Parnell from North Carolina.
Their home was a stop on the
Underground Railroad that assisted freedom seekers out of Maryland and Delaware into the Free State of Pennsylvania and beyond.

Witnessing someone be publicly executed will take a toll on society, whether people support the death penalty or not. We are not supposed to watch people be murdered. We aren’t meant to endure this much bloodlust, violence and trauma. An eye for an eye doesn’t work.

With the renewed focus on male privilege & entitlement after the Cornell 7 case, if I were to call Ferguson out, I would focus on the "men" part more than the "white" and "American" part, as this shows the extent of male privilege & entitlement (even when limited to WM).

Men: “Jane Doe is lying! That’s why the Cornell 7 weren’t charged! Won’t you think of the reputations of the rapists?” Reality: Cornell lied. Not Jane Doe. They withheld crucial details of her story when they gave the information to police and prosecutors. They protected the men:

Yesterday was blackout day for 18 year old Nolan Wells. His death is another example of male - not just white - impunity. "Boys Will Be Boys" is as much an excuse when dealing with race as it is gender. For Nolan's mother, it's an example of reproductive injustice.

ICE violence is a gender issue that doubles (or in some cases disguised) as a race issue. Male, in addition to (and in some cases rather than) white privilege. Most white ICE watchers are gender marginalized people, so IMO, it's cis WM, not WP, that bear this burden.
