    YES! Breastfeeding often takes support, troublesho YES! Breastfeeding often takes support, troubleshooting, and maternity leave for success. Not everyone has access to these necessities. It shouldn’t be so hard; babies deserve breast milk, but it can be so hard. You didn’t fail; you were failed by many elements of our society which reveres but does not support mothers. It’s also misogynistic gaslighting to call it “mommy wars” every time mothers try to discuss informed, evidence-based parenting choices. #breastfeeding #breastfed #chestfeeding #lactation #lactivist

    “1. Columbus kidnapped a Carib woman and gave he “1. Columbus kidnapped a Carib woman and gave her to a crew member to rape 2. Settlers under Columbus sold 9- and 10-year-old girls into sexual slavery. This one he admitted himself in a letter to Doña Juana de la Torre, a friend of the Spanish queen: "There are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid." 3. On Hispaniola, a member of Columbus's crew publicly cut off an “Indian's” ears to shock others into submission 4. Columbus kidnapped and enslaved more than a thousand people on Hispaniola 5. Columbus forced “Indians” to collect gold for him or else die 6. About 50,000 “Indians” died mass suicide rather than comply with the Spanish people 7. 56 years after Columbus's first voyage, only 500 out of 300,000 Indians remained on Hispaniola 8. Columbus was also horrible to the Spanish under his rule. While paling in comparison to his crimes against Caribs and Taino Indians, Columbus's rule over Spanish settlers was also brutal. He ordered at least a dozen Spaniards "to be whipped in public, tied by the neck, and bound together by the feet" for trading gold for food to avoid starvation. He ordered a woman's tongue cut out for having "spoken ill of the Admiral and his brothers." 9.

    Donald Trump is a white supremacist and Christophe Donald Trump is a white supremacist and Christopher Columbus was a murderous monster. ⁣ ⁣ A Columbus Day statement from the white supremacist White House: “Sadly, in recent years, radical activists have sought to undermine Christopher Columbus’s legacy. These extremists seek to replace discussion of his vast contributions with talk of failings, his discoveries with atrocities, and his achievements with transgressions. ⁣ ⁣ Rather than learn from our history, this radical ideology and its adherents seek to revise it, deprive it of any splendor, and mark it as inherently sinister. They seek to squash any dissent from their orthodoxy. We must not give in to these tactics or consent to such a bleak view of our history. We must teach future generations about our storied heritage, starting with the protection of monuments to our intrepid heroes like Columbus. ⁣ ⁣ This June, I signed an Executive Order to ensure that any person or group destroying or vandalizing a Federal monument, memorial, or statue is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.⁣ ⁣ I have also taken steps to ensure that we preserve our Nation’s history and promote patriotic education. In July, I signed another Executive Order to build and rebuild monuments to iconic American figures in a National Garden of American Heroes. ⁣ ⁣ In September, I announced the creation of the 1776 Commission, which will encourage our educators to teach our children about the miracle of American history and honor our founding. ⁣ ⁣ In addition, last month I signed an Executive Order to root out the teaching of racially divisive concepts from the Federal workplace, many of which are grounded in the same type of revisionist history that is trying to erase Christopher Columbus from our national heritage.”⁣ ⁣ #columbusday #columbuswasacriminal #columbus #colonizerholiday #whitesupremacist #whitesupremacy #dumptrump
