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....

Hi All, I sent this post out yesterday. The Russian campaign against Ukrainian cities and civilians is being directly supported by Trump's policy of depriving Ukraine of more Patriot missiles. Its indicative of how the US is changing sides.

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

So essentially the president can do anything he wants, regardless of whether or not that’s his constitutional power, say no when told otherwise, and there’s really no mechanisms in this country to stop him? The branches of government and checks and balances were all just suggestions?

A vibrant poster or promotional image for Dead Ghost and Kill Every Monster. The background is an orange-toned landscape reminiscent of Mars, with undulations in the terrain. Overlaid on the background are various images in the style of polaroid photographs. These show the faces of podcast hosts and participants. The images are framed and positioned in a grid-like arrangement.

There are numerous text elements throughout the image. Large text prominently displays titles such as "HUNT(ER/ED)," "MARS COLONY," and "KILL EVERY MONSTER." Smaller text lists awards or categories, including "BEST ONE SHOT," "BEST SERIES," "BEST GAME MASTER," "BEST PLAYER," "BEST AUDIO AND SOUND DESIGN," and others, specifically highlighting the recognition of various individuals and podcasts.

The design includes a graphic of a purple and black octopus or similar supernatural creature, and contains large numbers "XX" over the character’s eyes.
