During this peace, they shared a meal, the details of which we know little. But surrounding that meal was a lot of violence. The man who served as an interpreter knew English because he had been kidnapped and enslaved by Europeans. In the colonial era, sometimes days of

What really happened at the first Thanksgiving?
The Wampanoag tribe did negotiate a conditional peace with the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Diplomacy between Native nations and European settlers was constant and for Native folks was based on strategy not friendship.

Did you know that schools are in large part where the Thanksgiving myth was born? Alarmed by what your kid learned about Thanksgiving at school? You are not alone. After a wave of immigration in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Americans grew increasingly worried that their...🧵

Looks like Columbia PD finally arrested the shooter (an anti-abortion extremist, nonprofit exec, and elder at First Presbyterian Church), even though clear video evidence existed the minute the shooting occurred. Hopefully, this man won’t be able to do further harm.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.
Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history.

I grew all these plants from seed, nurtured them, harvested, and dried them in small batches right on my farm to ensure high quality. I crushed the peppers by hand in a mortar and pestle.

I can’t wait for y’all to try them! 🥰
