According to the Oregon Republican Party, a Viking who set foot in Canada for a couple days 500 years before Columbus set foot in the Caribbean and ~750 years before the Declaration of Independence...is emblematic of the "daring spirit that would one day build the greatest Nation on Earth." Ok.

Born in 970, Leif Erikson developed a love for exploration and adventure that he would carry through his entire life, a calling that would change the world for centuries to come. His steadfast Christian faith gave him the conviction to sail into the unknown, voyaging over 1,800 miles across the Atlantic with a small crew of 35 men and overcoming raging winds, crashing waves, and crippling storms to reach the shores of L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland, Canada-the land he named
"Vinland." In doing so, he opened the door between two worlds and proved that no ocean could hold back the course of discovery-the same daring spirit that would one day build the greatest Nation on Earth...
As we reflect on the enduring legacy of Leif Erikson, we recognize his rightful place in our glorious American story, we honor the millions of Nordic Americans whose contributions have shaped the life of our Nation, and we commit to carrying the spirit of his marvelous discovery boldly into America's next chapter of exploration, friendship, and greatness. #leiferikson #LeifEriksonDay #nordicamericans #norseamericans #AmericanHistory101 #weloveamerica #americathebrave #proudtobeanamerican #EPluribusUnum

To go in there alone, no backup, is bravery approaching madness. Just months ago, we watched live as a sitting MAGA Senator--backed by police--broke the arm of a uniformed Marine who came to protest peacefully. He was white; didn't matter. Truly surprised this woman made it out alive & unbloodied.

"Why can't we run government like a business?" asked the morons of America. This is why. You get marketing rebrands instead of governance, scams & bankruptcies instead of fiscal stability. You get humans reduced to "consumers," & public goods treated as "inefficiencies" or as resources to exploit.
