GENOA, Neb. — In a remote patch of a long-closed Native American boarding school, near a canal and some railroad tracks, Nebraska’s state archeologist and two teammates filled buckets with dirt and sifted through it as if they were searching for gold. They’re trying to find the bodies of dozens of children who died at the school and have been lost for decades, a mystery that archeologists aim to unravel as they dig in a central Nebraska field that was part of the sprawling campus a century ago. People toting shovels, trowels and even smaller tools are searching the unmarked site where ground-penetrating radar suggested a possible location for the cemetery of the Genoa Indian Industrial School. Genoa was part of a national system of more than 400 Native American boarding schools that attempted to assimilate Indigenous people into white culture by separating children from their families and cutting them off from their heritage.

  • Zuckerberg Met With Stephen Miller Before Changing Meta Rules
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 01/19/2025 - 10:00 AM

    Around the time dipshit billionaire Mark Zuckerberg overhauled Meta's fact-checking team and dismantled the company's DEI programs, Zuckerberg sat down with Joe Rogan, where the robotic/alien-looking CEO, who usually dons bizarre 4th-grade style haircuts complete with bratty bangs, suggested that more corporations should embrace their "masculine energy." You could feel that MAGA stink dripping off of his stupid face. As it happens, Zuck may have been influenced by Donald's adviser, Stephen Miller, who used to drink the tears of migrant children at the border. The New Republic reports: According to The New York Times, Zuckerberg met with Trump adviser Stephen Miller in late November and was told by Miller that he could help America, but on Trump's terms.

  • Donald Trump Wusses Out Of Outdoor Inauguration
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 01/19/2025 - 09:00 AM

    Trump is saying he’s moving the inauguration because of frigid temperatures. But even The New York Times seems skeptical: President-elect Donald J. Trump said Friday that his inauguration would be moved inside the Capitol Rotunda because of a frigid weather forecast, the first time in 40 years that a presidential swearing-in will be held indoors. The change for Monday’s inauguration means that far fewer people will be able to watch in person as Mr.
