what the blue fuck is that second sentence. No remotely honest person would deny that Columbus brought genocide and colonization in his wake.

In more recent decades, the controversy
has been over Columbus himself. Indigenous groups and other activists have rejected the narrative that Christopher Columbus, the Italian navigator, was a great explorer, saying he brought genocide and
colonization in his wake.

But Bodnar didn’t run in the Dem primary. So all we have is polling to say who is stronger. He should have run in the Dem primary.

I hate this phrasing, like it's some kind of modern trend or a matter of perspective. Columbus was a genocidal bastard. The Europeans OF HIS TIME knew it. Isabella appointed a royal commissioner to investigate rumors of his brutality and incompetence, who sent him back to Spain in literal chains.

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Speaking of live-streaming executions… There were white people in America, particularly from the 1880s through the 1930s, who enjoyed watching Black people being lynched. They brought their families, took photos & collected pieces of the victims’ clothing as souvenirs. [1935 — Fort Lauderdale]

Bodies were left hanging from trees, with bulging eyes. Some victims were tortured, mutilated, and burned while crowds watched. This is the horror behind Billie Holiday’s 1939 song Strange Fruit. They were spectacles of racial terror, and some white Americans treated them as entertainment.

This is especially galling given how cavalier this administration has been about deploying the troops and how callous they've been about their well-being while they're there. Sailors are trying to commit suicide on the USS Abraham Lincoln as the Millers soak up benefits meant for the military.

He's right. Calling people Nazis is not what we do in this country. The result is that Nazis took over one of our two major political parties and seized control of our government without firing a shot, because they got no pushback from right-thinking people like David Brooks.
