There was a “Bowling Green massacre” — in 1643, white settlers slaughtered 110 Native Americans

Last week on MSNBC, Kellyanne Conway invented a massacre that never happened in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 

But here’s one that’s real: In 1643, white settlers massacred 30 indigenous people in what is now Bowling Green Park, one of the oldest sections of New York City, Indian Country Media Network reported.

Back then, New York City was known as New Amsterdam and was a struggling colonial outpost under Dutch rule. 

The then-governor of New Netherlands, Willem Kieft, sent groups of European soldiers to an area at the tip of Manhattan island, which was then home to Lenape tribe. 

The soldiers killed 80 members of the tribe in what is now Pavonia, New Jersey, and massacred another 30 in Manhattan. Read more

Twelve U.S. presidents owned slaves, at some point in their lifetime. Eight owned slaves while serving in the White House.

Net Neutrality

Net neutrality. I'm sure you've heard those powerful words before, but you may not know what they mean. Basically, net neutrality ensures that you have equal access to the internet, and that your service provider cannot make one site slower, or block a site all together. Without net neutrality, you'll be seeing a lot more loading signs and a lot less of what you want. Click the link below for more information, and to write a comment to the FCC about why net neutrality needs to stay! https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now

THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WILL AFFECT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU

the FCC is trying (again) to put an end to net neutrality. This will mean profit for a lot of big websites and companies like your cable or ISP, and general shittiness for everyone else. It’s not a complicated issue. It’s a shady deal that needs to be stopped.

IF NET NEUTRALITY DIES:

YOUR ISPS AND CABLE COMPANIES WILL DECIDE HOW WELL YOUR INTERNET WORKS.

YOU WILL BE CHARGED MORE FOR USING CERTAIN WEBSITES.

YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN WEBSITES.

YOU WILL HAVE SLOW AND SHITTY CONNECTIONS TO CERTAIN WEBSITES.

DO NOT LET THE FCC END NET NEUTRALITY
