By honoring Columbus with a federal holiday, our government continues to vehemently insult Native Americans
and perpetuates a philosophy of racism and domination.
So please....
Please speak up, take a stand, and help eradicate Columbus' name from the federal calendar.

Reflecting the racial structure of the nation’s entire food system, turkey processing relies largely on the hard labor of low-wage workers of color. On plant floors across the country, a predominantly black, Latino and Asian work force kills, guts, cleans, processes and packages the Thanksgiving centerpiece along fast-moving production lines.
After practically vanishing from the presidential campaign in its waning days, the immigration reform issue is again the topic du jour among anti-immigration fire-breathers.

For all of my readers who have not asked: I’m going to spend the long weekend helping this nice lady teach her turkey to behave like a civilized creature -once and for all. If unsuccessful, we’re just going to roast the thing, dip it in mole sauce and have a wonderfully delicious dinner (which I’m sure will make PETA enthusiasts cringe.)
