"Donald Trump opened yet another squirmish yesterday in his fascist Culture Wars on American institutions, issuing an executive order that purports to '[Restore] Truth and Sanity to American History' by ordering the Smithsonian Institution to teach only the good stuff about America…."

As Adam Gabbatt and Marina Dunbar, Trump has a new institution in his sights: sounding for all the world like a recrudescent Stalin, he's produced an executive order claiming that the Smithsonian suffers from "improper ideology."

A big goal of this and other similar executive orders is probably, of course, to distract us from the damage being done to the federal government to pave the way for lowering taxes on the super-rich.

Urgent plea to #Smithsonian & all #Museum curators and employees:
Please ARCHIVE and SAVE what you can! This is our Nazi "Degenerate Art" moment...
History will be lost and might not be able to be saved if we allow them to destroy it.
I bet the Royal Society is pleased they can talk about 'Race Science' again now.
Next "The myth of the Female Orgasm" and "The divine rights of kings"
Void for vagueness *and* prima facie First Amendment violation, I hope #USPol
#Trump executive order on #Smithsonian targets funding for programs with ‘improper ideology’
At this point, the only way this admin could announce more clearly that their agenda is #Whitenationalist if not #Whitesupremacist is to simply stand at a podium and say, "We only like able-bodied, straight, White cis men." I mean, they have literally argued over and over that said group are the oppressed rather than the oppressors. It's what they're arguing legally in all the pending #DEI cases.

He is continuing his push to remove from our history anything that might be perceived as negative or critical of U.S. history. He calls it “improper ideology”.
THOSE FASCIST ASSHOLES! Arlington National Cemetery, Kennedy Center, and now the Smithsonian. They’re censoring our history and culture "IMPROPER IDEOLOGY”?!

Trump executive order on Smith...
#Trump’s order calls the #Smithsonian’s evolving approach a “revisionist” history “with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth” that is “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”
Does he just describe himself but sub the names of the institutions he attacks wherever his name was?
