I'm going to sleep on whether I want to trend
#LatinoRebelsThinkPieces. Here's one: "In Defense of The Guy Who Fed Taino Toddlers to Dogs" -
And I'm not exaggerating. Columbus literally fed Taíno babies to dogs. That's the dude
@latinorebels is defending. -
"Let's run a clickbait defending the man who began the genocide of millions of peoples." "Yo, that's fuct up." "STOP CENSORING US!"
