Isn't the way the rich and powerful continually spawn new reasons upon reasons to delay court cases similar to a fractal pattern?
Hey fellow Progressives,
It's time to confront the harmful myth of Columbus Day. For too long, we've perpetuated a false narrative that erases indigenous histories and sanitizes colonialism. This outdated holiday honors a man responsible for devastating Native American populations, exploiting their resources, and enslaving their people.
The facts are clear: Columbus didn't "discover" America; indigenous peoples thrived here for millennia. He exploited, enslaved, and brutalized Native Americans, sparking genocide and cultural destruction. Italian-American heritage deserves better representation than a divisive figure like Columbus.
Let's establish a new celebration: Italian-American Heritage and Indigenous Peoples' Day. This dual holiday honors Italian contributions to American culture while recognizing Native American struggles, resilience, and cultural heritage. We can foster dialogue about historical injustices and reconciliation, promoting a more inclusive narrative.
Instead of Columbus, let's celebrate iconic Italians like Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Enrico Caruso, and Federico Fellini. Their art, innovation, and cultural achievements showcase the true spirit of Italian-American heritage.
To better understand the issue, I recommend reading "The Columbus Myth" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, and "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen.
Join the movement to abolish Columbus Day and create a more truthful narrative. Share your thoughts: How can we promote reconciliation and solidarity with Native American communities?

Hey Reddit, I’m doing a project for my AP Research class in high school. I’m looking at how people’s personalities connect with the way they interact with politics. If you guys could fill out this survey, that would be great! It’s got 3 primary sections that will ask about political beliefs, political activity, and personality. It should only take 8-12 minutes, and it’s completely anonymous. The survey will not collect any personal information although it will ask about basic demographic information like age, gender, and race. Your responses will be very helpful in building the methods and results section of my research paper.
Thank you, and I am welcome to answer any of your questions!
Blind faith: the religion of Trumpism
Despite having publicly and flagrantly broken virtually all 10 of the commandments numerous times, Trump won and continues to maintain the undying support of white church-goers. The more fervent their religious practices, the stronger their devotion to Trump.
In 2020, 85% of white evangelical Christians who attend church at least once per month voted for Trump over Joe Biden. Despite witnessing four years of Trump’s perpetual dishonesty, vulgarity, and violent rhetoric, white evangelical support actually rose 7% from 2016 to 2020.
Moreover, the number of Americans self-identifying as evangelicals also increased during Trump’s term. That means more people joined the group that represented Trump’s most devout supporters as that group was growing more devout in its allegiance to him.
The explanation is multi-fold, but it begins where this series started: Trump’s uncanny acumen as a con artist. MORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>
