oh wait, maybe it's not the enslaver and mass murder Christopher Columbus, but the guy who made Home Alone 2, which DT stared in. (please oh please be the latter)

I seriously hope someone cross references lists online to see if there's one that matches.

It sounds like he’s doing this because he’s upset other statues were attacked? WTF.
“Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity. The heroes of 1776 have been desecrated, with statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin vandalized and toppled. The dead who gave their lives to end slavery and save the Union during the Civil War have been dishonored, with monuments to Abraham Lincoln, Hans Christian Heg, and the courageous 54th Regiment left damaged and disfigured. The brave warriors who saved freedom from Nazi fascism have been disgraced with a memorial to World War II veterans defaced with the hammer and sickle of Soviet communism.
The National Garden is America’s answer to this reckless attempt to erase our heroes, values, and entire way of life.”

Wait what is this garden? What a bizarre list. Biden should rescind that. We don't need more statuary for Columbus. Let alone some of those other people.

I didn't read the entire list of names at first.
THIS is totally a google list or high school history list of figures to write a report on. And again he did not in any way curate this list.

I refuse to engage with the statue thing. I’m going to do some energy management.

I fell woefully behind last week, got very overwhelmed, and decided to try and take a mental break. It didn't work very well but oh well.
I think I might try and pick up some champagne tomorrow too, we could all use some celebration

A couple things. 1) every time a countdown is mentioned I almost am in tears. Is it really less than 48 hours?! Really? 2) last night my five year old asked if I had his ordinary people change the world MLK book ready to go. this morning he popped into bed with me asking for it and demanding I read it. I don’t think I knew who Martin Luther King, Jr. even was when I was five. My parents were not liberal then (my mom is now thank goodness, my dad was becoming increasingly more-so when he died). Anyway, my heart ❤️ I just shared with my coworker that DD got excited when she recognized Kamala on the tv for an ad for Wed, and she also got excited when she heard MLK Jr Day “just like her book!” (The Xavier riddle series). I was impressed that at 5 also she had absorbed some of it and it made me feel like maybe I was doing an ok job parenting in that moment! ❤️

MH made me guess names on the list. I guessed Frederick Douglas because he just learned he was dead like a year ago. 🤣
