The shift from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day is not about replacing a holiday.

It is about correcting the narrative.

Momentum continues to build. Berkeley, California, led the shift in 1992. South Dakota has celebrated Native American Day since 1990. Hawaii marks Discoverers’ Day.Seattle officially replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day in 2014, and an ordinance in 2022 made it a legal holiday. This shift was the result of community advocacy and aims to correct the narrative around Columbus by recognizing the history, sovereignty, and resilience of Indigenous peoples, rather than celebrating a colonizer.

In 2021, President Biden became the first U.S. president to officially recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, acknowledging the generational harm that followed Columbus’s arrival.

Every October, the United States confronts a layered legacy — one rooted in exploration, and another in survival, sovereignty, and resilience. In 2025, both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day fall on October 13, but what we choose to uplift says a great deal about our values today.

Columbus Day became a federal holiday in 1971 but has been observed since the 18th century. It commemorates Christopher Columbus’s 1492 arrival in the Bahamas, long taught as the discovery of the Americas. Yet Indigenous nations had lived across the continent for thousands of years before his ships arrived, and historians widely acknowledge he was neither the first European nor the first explorer to reach these lands.

As awareness of that history has grown, so has the movement to reframe the day. More than 130 U.S. cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Seattle, and Phoenix and states such as Minnesota, Oregon, Alaska, and Vermont now recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day in place of Columbus Day. The goal is not to erase history but to correct it. It seeks to acknowledge the massacres, lynchings, forced displacement, and enslavement of Native peoples and to honor the communities whose cultures, lands, and identities shaped this continent long before colonization.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is more than symbolic. It is an act of recognition of Native sovereignty, culture, survival, and contributions that influence art, law, agriculture, environmental stewardship, and governance. It invites schools, workplaces, and civic leaders to reexamine the stories they elevate and the voices they center.

The question is no longer which holiday we acknowledge, but whether our institutions, in education, government, business, and culture, are prepared to recognize the full American story. How we mark this day reflects not just history, but the standards of inclusion and truth we choose to lead with now.

Scientists are warning that the water system is approaching a breaking point.

Now isn’t the time to hand more water to the Corrupt Bigshots.

No community, in TX or elsewhere, should have to wonder if there will be enough water tomorrow.

The ugliest truth about the Epstein Files is none of the pedophiles will be arrested.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

In February, Rep. Thomas Massie read Attorney General Pam Bondi a line from the Epstein files.

Leslie Wexner, he said, is listed in them as a co-conspirator. Not to tax evasion. To child sex trafficking.

Nobody has been charged.

Virginia Giuffre wrote something that feels especially timely now:

“Do you know why this world is as bad as it is? It is because people think only about their own business, and won’t trouble themselves to stand up for the oppressed, nor bring the wrong-doers to light. My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.”

Still wearing this bracelet that says JUSTICE.

If you’ve been here awhile, you know I began this work because survivors deserved to be heard. It’s been tied around my wrist for months now as we continue to push for transparency and accountability.

I’m tired, but I’m still going.

Three male National Guard soldiers approach a woman while she sits alone on a bench outside her home.

As she attempts to walk back inside, the soldiers physically surround her and block her from leaving.

On the audio, she says clearly, “You have absolutely no authority to detain me” and “get…away from me” before screaming for help as the soldiers close in on her, tackle her to the ground, and handcuff her.

Community members who witness law enforcement agents interacting with individuals should record the incident.

Footage and photos should be sent to [email protected].

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.
