Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before a joint session of Congress this week. Among other things protestors did in DC, they spray painted graffiti on a monument to Christopher Columbus, including the words, “Hamas is coming” in large red letters. In colossally poor taste, Christopher Columbus replied, “bring it, I’ll bring the small pox.”

This is my favourite #coin in my tiny coin collection.

It has little value, but it’s historic & the design looks great.

It’s the U.S. 1893 #ColumbianExposition #silver half dollar.

5 million were minted, but half were later melted down.

It has the distinction of being the first U.S. #commemorative coin & the first U.S. coin to feature a historical# person - #ChristopherColumbus.

And for you #TemperanceBrennan (#Bones) fans out there, it’s the coin that her father stuffed in the mouths of the men who tried to kill his son. (Season 2, episode 11)

A video in which band members portray Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus "teaching" ape-like beings about culture? Japanese viewers are not on board with this one. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/06/13/entertainment-news/mrs-green-apple-columbus-backlash/ #culture #entertainmentnews #mrsgreenapple #jpop #christophercolumbus

In Episode 23, Bill shares the story of a Moms for Liberty Charter School opening and their use of the 1776 Project curriculum. When then watch a PragerU cartoon where Christopher Columbus shrugs his shoulders at slavery.

For #SchiffsSamstag this is the beach at #Baiona in Spain, not far from Vigo. The historic-looking sailing ship you can see is a reproduction of La Pinta, one of the ships Christopher Columbus led to the Americas in 1492. It sailed into Baiona on its return making this location the first in Europe to learn of the "discovery".

Saw this on Tw*tt*r years ago. Don't think I've ever posted it here

I only wish I could credit the artist

#ChristopherColumbus was a genocidal psychopath who so horrified even the #Spanish—of #Inquisition fame—that they briefly imprisoned him for his brutality.

They did free him and allowed him to continue to his rampage because he generated so much #profit.

A #capitalist prototype.

Fuck Christopher Columbus

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day

Why Christopher Columbus wasn’t the hero we learned about in school
- He wasn’t the first to discover the Americas
- He enslaved the natives
- He brought new diseases
