Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American history museum A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

At only 6 months in, we’ve now entered the Ministry of Truth stage of the authoritarian regime.
Smithsonian bows to Trump pressure, removes any mention of his two impeachments from its presidential impeachment exhibit.

Trump was impeached, twice.

Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

Legacy media keep referring to the Epstein cover-up as a β€œscandal,” when they should be calling it a crime.

Netanyahu's government has created an epic disaster in Gaza. 6,000 food trucks are lined up at the border, children are starving, and still Netanyahu blocks help.

History will remember this moment.

BREAKING: A FOURTH whistleblower has come forward with information about Emil Bove, a Trump judicial nominee who Senate Republicans rubberstamped yesterday.

Bove helped orchestrate the blanket pardons of violent January 6 rioters.

There were once multiple sources of pressure, both in Israel and outside it, restraining Netanyahu on humanitarian aid and forced displacement of Gazans. They are all goneβ€”and Trump is on the other side. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

Aid agencies warn of Gaza starvation as Israel urged to end blockade | CNN Humanitarian aid agencies are warning that their staff inside Gaza are starving alongside the civilians they are trying to help

Gaza is descending into famine and Trump is turning his back on this moral crisis. There is no excuse - ever - to deprive civilians of desperately needed food and water. Trump must press Israel to end this blockade.

For the folks arguing with me every time I post about the children of Gaza, I have one thing to say.

Feed the children now. You can argue about who is to blame later. But for now: feed these children.

Listening to this interview of this whistleblower and it’s about as clearcut as you can ask for. Trump officials wanted him to lie to judges, claiming an immigrant was a gang member. He refused to. Then he was fired. This is why civil service protections, now being ignored, matter.

BREAKING: Epstein files just got subpoenaed. Oversight Dems + 3 GOP reps voted 8–2.
Chair Clay Higgins tried to bury it at the end but that move backfired spectacularly. Big mistake. HUGE! Dems showed up ready, with three GOP swing votes in their pocket, and they passed it right under his nose.

The Politics of Humiliation The politics of humiliation has moved to the center of the reactionary project under Trump II.

This is a fantastic piece on how central the politics of humiliation are to understanding Trump and the MAGA movement.

The right is currently engaged in an all-hands-on-deck effort to *publicly humiliate* everyone who they dislike or assumes dislikes them.

Donald Trump is following the authoritarian playbook to a T:

1. Get hold of the courts
2. Erode the rule of law

That’s why it’s so critical the Senate rejects Bove and Pirro, as I discussed with @anacabrera.bsky.social

A vintage style Florida postcard that reads 

β€œVisit FLORIDA 
The Concentration Camp State”

…with a sunset view of a beach and palm trees in the background. 

In 1930s-50s style, the capital letters of FLORIDA are filled with an illustration, but it’s a photograph of bunk beds surrounded by chain link cages at the horribly named Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp. 

The legend at the bottom says

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Florida’s official state tourism agency found out exactly what people thought about their brand new concentration camp? (I made a thing - feel free to copy and share)
