Che Guevara is often celebrated as a symbol of rebellion and revolution, infamously known for being Castro’s right-hand man in the Cuban Revolution. While his image adorns countless articles of clothing, few understand the true nature of this infamous guerilla fighter. Despite his iconic status, Guevara's history reveals a troubling pattern of homophobia, racism, and violence, a much darker reality than what appears on the surface.

For many in the United States, the story of the first Thanksgiving often paints a picture of harmony, where the Pilgrims and Native Americans sat down together to share a peaceful meal. This version of history, while widely taught, seems overly idealized when we examine the darker reality of European colonization in the Americas. As we grow older and learn more about the harsh treatment of Native peoples by European settlers, it becomes clear that the cheerful Thanksgiving narrative is a sugar-coated version of the truth. In reality, these disease-ridden Europeans arrived in the Americas, seized land, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Native Americans through violence, disease, and forced displacement.
