Solidarity and love to all of our Indigenous comrades—and to all Indigenous peoples, the world over. May the murderous, destructive legacy of Columbus rot and be forgotten.

Reminder of what an absolute monster Columbus was, and why we should not celebrate him in any way shape or form.

On October 12, 1492, Columbus arrived on the shores of the Caribbean, the now-called Bahamas, and the Taíno people welcomed him and his crew with respect and great care. Their kindness was repaid with vicious cruelty and enslavement.
The horrors of genocide left no one untouched on Turtle Island and Abya Yala, but the Taínos were the first to encounter this scourge. There aren't enough people who call them by name and claim a ubiquitous "indigenous peoples" encountered Columbus.
Know and name the Taíno and the ways they suffered as a result of First Contact.
And also the ways they have persisted and survived to this day. Check out the United Confederation of Taíno People (UCTP) / Confederación Unida De El Pueblo Taíno (CUPT) as a place to start.
The Taino peoples are not a monolith and include many different tribes and areas.
