On Nov 19, 1493—532 years ago today—Columbus “discovered” Borikén (Puerto Rico), a place already thriving with Taíno life and culture. The conquistadors strutted in like gods, peddling Jesus and immortality while terrorizing the people. The Taíno had questions. So they tested the myth on Diego Salcedo—drowned the motherfucker and waited three days. When he turned blue instead of resurrecting, they said “fuck this” and rose up, marking the first Indigenous uprising in the "Americas."

Don’t celebrate the colonists. Celebrate the resistance.
