       #idiocracy#Trump declared on Sunday that he would bring “#ColumbusDay back from the ashes” & reinstate its celebration as a holiday.“I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, & locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!” he wrote on Truth Social.But Columbus Day was never canceled as a federal holiday, & the second Monday in October is still widely referred to as such in the US, & for many, it remains an important part of Italian American heritage.

       With his declaration, #Trump appeared to be referring to a proclamation issued by President Joe #Biden in 2021. That decree also recognized the day as #IndigenousPeoples’ Day, which recognizes the #Indigenous communities that have lived in the Americas for thousands of years, & called for it to be celebrated ALONGSIDE #ColumbusDay.#idiocracy

       In 2021, #Biden became the first American president to formally recognize #IndigenousPeoples’ Day, vowing to “honor America’s first inhabitants & the #TribalNations that continue to thrive today.”But Biden did not rename the longstanding holiday, which is still officially known as #ColumbusDay. While several states & dozens of cities recognize the holiday as Indigenous Peoples’ Day, it is not considered a federal holiday, though there have been occasional efforts in Congress to make it one.

       #Biden’s 2021 declaration came amid heightened public debate about the erasure of #IndigenousPeople in celebrations of Christopher Columbus, whose landing in North America led to centuries of #exploitation & #slaughter of #NativeAmerican populations.#ColumbusDay has long been criticized by those who condemn the explorer for paving the way for European #colonialism, which brought catastrophic diseases & led to the decimation of Indigenous populations in America.#Trump #idiocracy

       @Nonilex As long as he continues with the bigoted language and policies, he will keep his base happy while they lose their homes, jobs, and medical insurance.

       @Nonilex Replace Columbus Day with chocolate and you're literally quoting Nineteen Eighty-Four.

       @Nonilex I blame @GiorgiaMecojoni for this.
