White House Announces Comprehensive Review of Smithsonian Exhibitions

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

"Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only child-rapist in history to receive well-wishes from a president of the United States."

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

What is in our petition? All that and a bag of chips😎 Read more at: RankMIVote.org/our-petition/

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

In today's "yeah, no shit" news: the GOP, the fiscal responsibility party, pushed the national debt to a new, dangerously high record, putting America closer to bankruptcy.

Just a reminder that Barack Obama's budget was reducing the national debt by the end of his second term.

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

In the foreground, the jagged remains of a tree that fell long along. It is surrounded by less mature trees, and green underbrush.

The jagged leaves of this Clearweed look as if they’ve been quilted.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

Heinous.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.

One of our volunteers got to practice their Ranked Choice Voting pitch on an adorable puppy this weekend 🐶

If the old adage—1 human = 7 dog years—counted for signatures, this would be easier 😅

Until then, we need your signature

1/ - Trade Policy in 2025 -

Step 1. Donald Trump invents threatened new tariff rates on your country based on some combination of the trade balance, vibes, personal grievance, vibes, how much he likes you, vibes, or a Peter Navarro formula so stupid it made Lesotho enemy #1.

Also vibes.

Wow.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

As the United States becomes more brazenly corrupt, we have reached the stage where meetings to plan cover-ups of crimes are not done in secret, but are announced, and are not done in remote parking decks, but at the Vice President's home.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a major source of stress.

A full-time worker in the U.S. needs to earn a wage of $33/hr to afford a two-bedroom apartment.

Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

What is Trump focusing on today?
