John Leguizamo Celebrates Indigenous Peoples' Day With A 'Take Down Of The Monster Columbus'

Posted • October 13, 2025: Hey, everyone, we were going to apologize for missing Indigenous Peoples' Day on Sunday, but it turns out it's today, Monday, October 13. Rep. Mark Pocan (he/him/his) of Wisconsin recognized the day by posting a land acknowledgement of his state and urging us to remember that while we can't erase the past, we can acknowledge it and work toward justice. What are you going to do? Give the land back, or just open school board and city council meetings with land acknowledgements? —— Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan: “Today we honor National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, recognizing the rich cultures, history, and continued resilience of Native and Indigenous communities. We can’t erase the past. We must acknowledge it and work toward justice.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3JNt6EWQAIEW1u?format=jpg&name=large —— Today we honor this guy: https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/G3KO6LCWgAAetKc.mp4 —— It’s Columbus Day.

The reason we thought it was Sunday is that actor John Leguizamo wished us a happy Indigenous Peoples' Day on Sunday, and posted a video demonstrating what a monster Christopher Columbus really was. John is sad because European culture replaced a culture that practiced cannibalism and human sacrifice. Cheer up, John, you can still eat your own flesh. We won't stop you. Hey John, your so embroiled in the hyperbole that you do not even realize, no Columbus, no John Leguizamo, no Hollywood, no career, and you would not be able to turn into the pretentious asshole you have become. No people are "indigenous" to the Americas. Some people just happened to travel here sooner than others. You're career is a product of colonization. Liberals want to "work toward justice" with empty gestures like swapping Columbus Day for Indigenous Peoples' Day. They're never giving back the land. History lesson. Columbus didn’t set off to find the new world. He thought he was going to discover a faster way to Asia. It created the start of Western Civilization at a place that was primitive and 500 years behind the rest of the world. (…)
