Not surprisingly, the Democrat talking points about so-called "Indigenous Peoples' Day" went out on Columbus Day, with both current and former members of the notorious "Squad" of radical House Democrat Socialists being among the loudest voices echoing it in social media messages.
Among them was former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who - as we previously reported - has decided to run for Congress again because apparently two miserable, embarrassing terms in office weren't enough.
Bush wrote, "On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recognize that St. Louis sits on the ancestral lands of the Chickasaw Nation, Illini Tribe, Ioway Tribe, Kickapoo Tribe, Osage Nation, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, & Quapaw Nation."
"The US must reckon with its colonial history & honor Indigenous leadership," she also wrote, without explaining exactly what she meant by "reckon."

Another was Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who took to X to make this declaration:
Happy Indigenous People’s [sic] Day!
We are all on stolen land.
And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country’s role in inflicting trauma on our Indigenous neighbors.
We'll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices in our policymaking, & building a more just, equitable future.
This isn't just a ridiculous argument; it's a dangerous one, for reasons I'll get to in a minute. But first, here were a few spot-on reactions, including those from a historical perspective:
None of America's land is stolen.

We either conquered it, bought it, negotiated for it, settled it, annexed it, or acquired it via treaty.
This land was not "stolen."

It was conquered, settled, and built into the greatest civilization in world history. https://t.co/DSrR1xsK3H
Others were quick to point out that if Pressley, Bush, and other Democrats feel that way, then why don't they follow this through to the logical conclusion by simply giving their part of the "stolen land" back?
I am an indigenous, native America. Thank you for recognizing me and my people, Congresswoman. Should you wish to give back the land you live on, I am willing to take it. https://t.co/UMKxPpPENK

Ayanna Pressley: We are all on stolen land.

Everyone: Well, are you going to give it back then?

Further, if you are truly "living on stolen land," you definitely shouldn't be making money off of it, right?
why are u making money off low-income renters on stolen land? https://t.co/Osq7pzBKXw pic.twitter.com/srnSanOz0t

This woman owns four rental properties in the state of Massachusetts, plus her primary residence there. If we all live on stolen land, why don't you give yours back?
— Mike Coté (@ratlpolicy) October 13, 2025
Hell, you could give up two entire properties and still have three left! Why aren't you? https://t.co/rje9IRRQdq
Beyond all of that, though, is the larger point of how this mindset has caused young, impressionable folks who either don't know any better or who have been brainwashed by their college professors and leftist elected officials to hate America because it is, in their view, "stolen land."
We've seen this same argument play out in blue states like California, where America-hating educators, politicos, commentators, special interest groups, and their supporters have amplified the false idea that the state really belongs to Mexico, hence, the Mexican flags we saw being flown during the June anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
Case in point, this MSNBC opinion piece written at the time:
It is easier to attack a symbol like a flag, which is ironically woven into U.S. history through the land-grabbing legacy of the Mexican-American War, than to confront what it represents in the hands of someone born here, raised here and determined to stay.
Now, if you're someone who believes we're living on stolen land, you're more likely than not to believe that the people who it was supposedly stolen from have an obligation to take it back - by any means necessary.
Needless to say, such a viewpoint is not only damaging for the person but also the country, as it perpetuates the falsehood that America was built on a lie and, accordingly, that the principles upon which she was founded are meaningless.
That's not just damaging but dangerous, which is perhaps the biggest reason why this talking point from woketivists needs to be nuked and buried ten feet under.
By the way, I searched for a similar statement from Native American Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), but in fairness, it looks like she was busy trying to take partial credit for the Israel-Hamas peace deal, so there's that.
