(15,474 posts)Congress revoked the day. I was expecting some seriously ridiculous tweet. It was as generic as can be. It going to take time for congress to change the day officially.

Even if it's not official, still acknowledging Columbus is pretty egregious, IMO.

(14,118 posts)and religious leadership of Spain and much of Europe and the rest of the world
displayed a high level of brutality that was then considered "normal". Many of us
today have chosen a different life path even though the brutality still exists in many
persons even now.
We need to keep working on making sure the Brutal Fascists never win.
