Artists do the work. The Smithsonian gets the money. They'll lick the boots of fascists and should be permanently barred (along with anyone who works for them) from the heritage industry. Someone else can restore America's ruined history. @thesmithsonian.bsky.social

the actual headline is both more germane to the story and journalistically honest than this post your post here seems to indicate that there is something intellectually acceptable with this administration’s censorship while the actual story is about the literal opposite.

Why oh why oh why do you feel compelled to write such anodyne ledes (and stories) in the midst of masked, armed troops in the streets and massive constitutional atrocities under Trump? “The administration seems to take issue with”?? This is embarrassing…and fascist-enabling.

Trump IS right about the Smithsonian. The place is filled with reality, and reality has no place in America.

Ich denke, hier ist die Frage: Glaubst du, Trumps Besuch im Museum ist eher ein PR-Gag oder ein echter Versuch, Kultur zu schätzen?

It’s art you Maga morons! It’s not going to jump down off the wall and chase you down the street. It’s art, not a jackbooted ICE gestapo thug. You all need to wake up and figure out how dangerous you are to humanity. Do something. Get counseling, go back to school, finish learning to read or count.

The small minded, the petty, the ignorant, & the insecure hv always bn offended by art. This is because they worry about things that do not matter. It has nothing to do with the art & everything to do with their inadequacies as human beings. “ OMG that painting could be. OMG that word could mean.”😱

I have never seen a President demonstrate this level of insecurity. No wonder world leaders mock him.

The whitewashing is only temporary, much like the Republican authoritarianism.

This administration is so deeply afraid of any depiction of history that makes them question their reality, their privilege, and their mistakes. Sad.

Trump wants to rewrite and hide history, just like Russia and Soviet Union. I have an idea, though. He claimed that US singlehandedly won WW2. Someone should tell him Russia claimed that it won WW2 singlehandedly. Have him duke it out with his buddy Putin and distract him from our museums.

Trump's words are in conflict with his thoughts. History is messy, the museums are trying to show that. Art, has also always been meant to stir emotion, so it seem it has. Maybe we should talk about that? He has an agenda that Museums should only present clear simple Happy history.

When was the last time Trump went to a museum to enjoy culture? He doesn’t know shit about art or museums. He’s just doing what his Christo-fascist advisors want him to do.
