night with holographic images. A year ago, demonstrators at the
circle — now surrounded by fencing — were tear gassed by police.

I will never understand why this was not done to Lee himself.

I'm not sure why they chose an Olmec statue when they have
nothing to do with Mexico City. They could have made the statue
a citizen of Teotihuacan instead...

County Council adopted an immediate resolution to move it from

> The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit in May demanding the statue’s
removal, calling it unconstitutional, and Maryland activists
long have said that the statue should no longer stand outside
the courthouse. Prior council resolutions to remove the monument
failed, although a smaller Frederick Douglass statue was erected
in front of the courthouse in 2011, according to the suit. More
recently, singer and Easton native Maggie Rogers urged
individuals last week to support the council’s resolution.

You are correct! Western civilization in particular will not die
quietly. It will in fact not die at all unless we kill it with
our own hands and make 100% sure it it is truly dead before we
stop.

About her name:
--- Quote ---
> Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was born to a secular Jewish family in
Mexico City.[4] Her father's Ashkenazi parents emigrated from
Lithuania to Mexico City in the 1920s; her mother's Sephardic
parents emigrated there from Sofia, Bulgaria, in the early 1940s
to escape the Holocaust.

As previously mentioned, we should move onto colonial-era
buildings eventually. Here is a video from Empires of Dirt that
lists several where we could get started:

On the contrary, I am saying precisely that. And all True

Slow but steady advance:

--- Quote ---
> Boston is the latest U.S. city to replace Columbus Day with
Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a surprise move by acting Mayor Kim
Janey.
>
> The executive order signed by Janey recognizes the second
Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus
Day starting next week on October 11.
>
> “This is a small step in a long journey around justice in our
city,” Janey told reporters outside of Boston City Hall on
Wednesday. The event was held in collaboration with the United
American Indians of New England (UAINE), the North American
Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) and members of the Massachusett
Tribe that all helped increase the city’s engagement with
indigenous communities.
>
> Though Columbus Day is considered a federal holiday, 14 states
and more than 130 local governments have chosen to replace it or
just not observe it. In Massachusetts, more than two dozen
communities honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day, with Boston becoming
the latest city.
> ...
> Former Boston mayor Marty Walsh didn’t support replacing the
holiday and Janey’s executive order was not announced as part of
the public schedule until Tuesday night.

Again, note the Turanian composition.
Let's hope "Expect us" means they will actually pull it down
next time.
