#Hispanola
need a timeline where someone gives everyone indigenous on Hispanola gatling guns before the colonizers showed up.

had a Dominican Christmas Eve and a Haitian Christmas…I’m singlehandedly uniting Hispanola

Should we talk about the fact that Basque fisherman had been harvesting cod off of the coast of Canada well before Columbus ever set foot in Hispanola and the reason we don't know it is because they didn't bother with the genociding?

there's no way to talk Chevalier's issues without it being an indictment of Espaillat that he lost to her. Why hasn't his stature benefitted renters in his district? Why didn't he connect her Putin sympathies to the rise of the global right? What made him decide to close on Hispanola beefs?
I'm feeling uncharacteristically nice, so what i would say here is that moderates need to do a better job of selecting candidates. Two of the candidates who lost in NY ran in opposition to portions of their base and the other just lost on his substantive issue positions.
We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists.

If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side.

We need moderates.

Quer dizer que a valentona Zamba - La Atiradora Hispañola, deu a bilora e não compareceu ao depoimento no STF?
Mas não é ela que é uma valentona com uma pistola armada na mão?
Oxente!

"You see, it's like when the nazis blamed housing scarcity on the Jews.... here, we replace Jews with Hispanics which don't come from Hispanola..... you get it...."

When Christopher Columbus was done raping and pillaging South and Central America, he wanted to disembark in Hispanola (Haiti/Dominican Republic) and his own people didn’t even want him on land. Spain didn’t even want him back. The Trump family should be exiled from North America when this is over.

There’s no way around it: Hurricane Melissa will cause significant devastation in Jamaica.

It will also have big impacts in southern Hispañola (Haiti and Dominican Republic). (1/2)

By the time Cortés arrived in Mexico, these principles were already established. Christopher Columbus had enslaved Native peoples. In 1499, the Spanish discovered gold in Hispanola and forced the Taino to mine it for them, significantly adding to the rapid disappearance of those peoples

No wonder hispanola got hit hard already.

Soon-to-be Hurricane #Melissa has potential to be a devastating tropical cyclone in the Caribbean. This will be an extremely slow moving storm, and will tap a very deep pool of highly anomalously warm ocean water (i.e., "hurricane fuel). [1/2] #Hispanola #Jamaica

The island of Hispañola was completely deforested and nearly depopulated after the arrival of Columbus

also, the first slaves in America were Columbus' slaves, which were the indigenous peoples of hispanola.

Bro we are so back we're invading Hispañola,, but not Haiti. Gonna leave the Bahamas be as well

Haiti is already deforested. You can see it clearly when flying over Hispanola. This storm will only wash rock and debris into populated areas.

“They are the best people in the world, and above all, the gentlest—without knowledge of what is evil—nor do they murder or steal….They love their neighbors as themselves and they have the sweetest talk in the world…always laughing.” — Christopher Columbus, of the “Indians” he encountered

Yes. Cuba, Hispanola, Jamaica, I think. Never set foot on any part that would be the United States. Our fascination with this guy is weird.
