I heard about this just recently... hysterical Lefty move.
Austin considers renaming city over ties to slavery
The city of Austin, Texas, could be headed for a name change because of founder Stephen F. Austin’s pro-slavery stance, according to a report recently drafted by officials.
The state capital’s city council is considering renaming dozens of streets, parks, monuments and landmarks with ties to the Confederacy.
The city name itself is included on that list — which designates it as “not directly tied to the Confederacy and/or the Civil War but within the spirit of the resolution representing slavery, segregation, and/or racism.”
Stephen F. Austin, known as the “Father of Texas,” fought to defend slavery and saw it as vital to the city’s sugar and cotton production, says the report published last week by the city’s Equity Office.
He “believed that if slaves were emancipated they would turn into ‘vagabonds, a nuisance and a menace,’ wanted slaveowners to be compensated if their slaves were emancipated,” the report notes, citing the 1926 book “The Life of Stephen F. Austin” by Eugene Barker

Can someone explain to me how google fascists fight comi-fascism?
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2…
Can google be this stupid that they don't believe progressive/communinst ideology is not fascism? They promote politicians who want total government control. You can't get more communist than that. And when google is in bed with them, i t's called fascism.

Anheuser-Busch Heir Shuns Beer for Push Into Colorado Cannabis
Adolphus Busch V, the 27-year-old great-great-grandson of the beer magnate Adolphus Busch, has launched a line of disposable marijuana vape pens, under the brand ABV Cannabis.
Busch pivoted to pot after being turned down for a job at the family business because of a new nepotism rule implemented after InBev’s takeover of Anheuser-Busch. Busch then returned to Colorado, where he attended college and has been in the cannabis industry ever since.
