He who controls the present controls the past

These fascists have turned on the 1984 memory hole full force. It's amazing they have so many outright idiots willing to parrot their ignorant talking points to Americans.

Looks like ICE agents to me

Yes. Slavery was very bad. So is genocide in Gaza.

The next amendment in their sight is the 13th.

In 1662, Colonial VA passed a law that made every child born to a slave woman was a slave (including those children born of rape by white masters) reversing traditional English law that a child had the status of their father. A cheap way to increase your number of slaves! YES,SLAVERY WAS BAD!

Slavery was and is outright horrible. Let's be on time it's absolutely recognize as a crime against humanity with extreme and very harsh punishments for those that do it. I suggest that it warrants to death penalty because this is a monstrous s***

hmpy trmPEDOphile wins he has found yet another way to disgust me whitneyplantation.org

Not only does hmpy trmPEDOphile regret he can't own slaves he would be anevil owner legacysites.eji.org/about/museum/

WHy have pics? Did you actually do a google search for them?

Slavery was, and always will be, BAD!

This is something that has been in the GOP's task list for decades. A high school overview in the south comes down to "It was about slavery; Fort Sumter, Gettysburg, the proclamation, NEXT" Any unit on the CW should have a chapter or 2 on what happened to slaves, what they went through, etc.

I doubt if he ever visited a museum. Ignorance is his outstanding feature.

Tiny organed man-child.

If Trump had his way, he would have many young girls for use as sex slaves.

JFC.

Prager U says otherwise. 🙄

Trump, and his sycophants, are acting like they know they don’t have to worry about elections or voter dissent. They’re just getting started and moving fast. 18 months to next election is plenty of time for them to end our Republic founded in the principles of democracy and or constitution. Wake up!

It's obvious (to me) that he's trying to provoke an armed civilian response to enable him to evoke the Insurrection Act & declare martial law...no elections as a result.

Let’s put him in that devise on the left

Trump doesn't even fucking understand what museums are made for. To preserve the past so history doesn't repeat itself. So people can know and see with their own eyes. What happened and where they came from. Trump is a fucking delusional man man

If only he, and the MAGA cult, could have a Twilight Zone moment like the ‘Time Out’ segment from the 1983 movie: to live as a Jew in Nazi Germany, a Black man in the Jim Crow South, and all the others whose history they try to erase. Let them walk in the very lives they hate the most.

Next they’re going to tell us that learning about the mass slaughter of indigenous peoples of North America is “woke,” too…

And the attacks on LGBTQ+ people too.

So infuriating! Give your children all the books you can in the horrors of slavery, also the horrors of native American genocide.

I don’t think he’s actually read the Smithsonian displays.

When you've stood on 8 inches of hardened sweat, blood, shit and piss in a slavery dungeon, it sure makes it feel very real

I didnt think it needed to be said, but here we are.

Better woke than blind by ignorance! When there are photos as evidence, you going to deny it fat boy?

During the Great Depression, the Federal Writers' Project, part of the Works Progress Administration, collected oral narratives of over 2,000 former slaves. The Library of Congress has these. Perhaps the fascist in the Oval Office should listen.

I have never hated anyone that I haven’t met, until now, why can’t he just die?

But there were plenty of good people on both sides.

Fucking disgusting yt fat bastard!

With #America slipping back into pre #CivilWar racist apologia Trump is right. #Slavery is

Yet another case of racism and bigotry from the Orange Menace.

SO IS RAPING CHILDREN - NONE OF THESE HORRIFIC CRIMES IN OUR COUNTRY WILL BE FORGOTTEN. NO MATTER WHAT FELON TRUMP AND HIS CRIMINAL MAGOTS TRY TO HIDE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK UP AND PROTECT THE VICTIMS!!!

Trump = Racist Dickhead

If the Smithsonian lacks the courage to stand up to this madness,it deserves to be shut down,to have its doors slammed & sealed up forever.Trump cannot be allowed to enact every insane idea.He's had too many institutions capitulate to his bullying.Stop it already!Grow a vagina & gird your loins!

This guy is sick and demented.

I hope they refuse and id they have no choice, I hope they send their collections elsewhere for safekeeping, I dont trust these idiots

“President Trump accused the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday of focusing too much on “how bad slavery was” and not enough on the “brightness” of America as his administration conducts a wide-ranging review of the content in its museum exhibits.” Pretty sure he meant “the whiteness of America.”

Shame on him!! He has no idea

I can’t believe we have to discuss that slavery is bad🤦🏽‍♀️ did we not learn this in elementary school?!?!?

He cannot erase slavery and he also cannot erase his complicity with Epstein and what their "secret" is.

It’s only a business model to them…

Ignorance run riot

Dispicable!

was bad for the non white. that's the point.

Malignant Narcissist.

Slavery happened, as did segregation. As did native genocide. As did so many terrible things. We have to own it. These truths can’t just disappear. Museums are for history, and this should be based on facts, not bs fantasies.

Fuck this fucking cunt rapist Nazi! So fucking over this shit #FuckTrump #Dictator #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpRapesKids #Resist #P01135809 #WhiteHouseOfTerrorism #TrumpsRecession #GangOfPedophiles

Sick, sick, sick. Pedo drumpf is beyond twisted & insane.

WOKE=TRUTH TRUMP AND WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS CAN'T STAND THAT BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR PEOPLE WHO DID IT!!!!

First the judicial, then the media, now the arts.

www.history.com/articles/lyn...

Museums concentrating on the future. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. America, what were you thinking?

Slavery was actually worse than bad. It was horrific, deadly, masked in God’s name, sick, evil, violent, dehumanizing, back breaking, plantation hell, crimes against humanity, racialize oppression , barbaric, cruel, forced labor, social death, and on and on.

Nah. Not racist or white supremacist at all. 🙄

It was our country that got rid of slavery. That was an enemy we defeated. When people like this claim it makes 'us' look bad, what they mean is IT MAKES THEM LOOK BAD. And that's what we need to keep doing, we need to keep making them look bad.

Now he's coming right out as pro-slavery? Can you write me a cartoonishly better candidate to run against?

He wants to take us back to slavery, he wants to slave our kids. We have to fight for the future of our kids. Wake up humanity!!!! wake up before is too late.

That pedophile needs to release the Epstein files and explain why he wired so much money to Epstein and leave my history alone!

FUCK HIM

He is the most deplorable of all - and just so willfully, offensively, ignorant and stupid.

hottest country? this guy thinks everything is about popularity that's how shallow he is

Epstein distraction effort 1,171.

What more should we need to know about crazy rich wyte men who think they are superior? I’m actually laughing because he thinks this will make him a hero. He’s a joke. A really bad joke. Most of us know our history isn’t pretty. We don’t want to hide it. We want to grow & be better than our past.

Your Bluesky handle says it all.

please... soon...

We are only 7 months in…..

This is what happens when a MORON/IDIOT/RACIST/CLASSLESS FOOL Steals the WhiteHouse!

Reinventing history?

Our daily dose of dumb from the orange racist sitting in America’s house.

He's a silver spooner , they have no idea what reality is.

Whip him .

Donald is bad.

Trump can threaten all he wants but history is that slavery was a terrible blight on USA! Caused much harm to Black people for over 250 years and counting! Reparations now !

Slavery was one of the very worst things man did to man. I know there are many others, but to take away a person’s identity, freedom, their NAME, and say you OWN them…to beat them and chain them, and SELL them! That was such a dark chapter and it was never resolved. History must be preserved!

Truly the most heinous of actions was the enslavement of Black people! The oppression since they were freed! Is still going on to this day!

So just suddenly made me wonder why trump who hates skin of color so much turns his from being a very pale white to orange...

Fuck trump!

This! Except, replace it with another four letter verb; one that rhymes with "Bill"...

😡😡

Way worse than we are even taught. For example, when I lived in Maryland, people would get married on old slave plantations, that’s like getting married at Auschwitz.

😞

Slavery was horrific in the British administed Carribbean too (where White slavers were heavily outnumbered). Read about this British Punishment if you can stomach it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derby%2...

The Black Holocaust

I cannot like this post because our ancestors treated people as if they were not human beings. Horrible and despicable; we must never forget. It’s why the Holocaust is taught in German schools.

Why won't anyone air ROOTS. BECAUSE THEY WANT HISTORY TO DISAPPEAR.

Slave collar explained...

daily.jstor.org/abolitionist...

*whispers to camera* In the same way we got Trump (closet MAGAs), libs will be surprised that many who they call friends/family are secretly okay with Trump's war on slavery. "Trump has a point, I am tired of feeling bad. Can't they just get over it. It's not like *they* were slaves." Truth.

soon we will be rid of this cancer called trump... radiation and drugs will take him away from us forever.. it can not come soon enough...

He is unforgivable

“It’s gonna be pretty fucking grotesque, learning about American slavery. It’s gonna make you sick—it should make you sick. Modern horror genres pale in comparison. Torture porn ain’t got shit on American slavery.” lokiexcelsiorsmith.substack.com/p/black-hist...

How can a man who claims to be so smart, not be smart enough to know he’s an ignorant mf.

His narcissism won't allow him to. He just doubles down on his abhorrent behavior without ever questioning why he does it.

It's not ignorance. He doesn't say slavery was ok because he doesn't know what happened. He says slavery was ok because he doesn't see black people as human. And neither do the citizens of the USA that enable his dictatorship.

Orange motherfucker

What a complete fool.

I don’t think we realize how much of this bs has already infiltrated our schools, society and culture. From the construction industry, I will say I’ve been hearing this shit for over a decade from college educated white collar professionals.

That statement is so inhuman it doesn't deserve a response.

Can’t understand how he can be so cruel?

It’s the same cruelty that created and protected slavery, slaughtered the Natives, enslaved the Japanese, ignored Hitler…. And…now… It’s not new. And it IS “who we are”

God this is disgusting! Fuck you to every single bastard that voted for this pig tRump.

His stupidly is boundless. Every dark, ignorant racist remark confirms it.

Uhmn,…you mean that God didn’t create people specifically to pick produce? Strong backs, bandy legs. ‘Cause he said that just last week! Matter of fact he’s creating a “immigration cut-out” for them. Not me, of course, my back’s strained writing this!🤣 MAGA Making America Ghastly(as shit)Again!

He appears to be terrified of objective truth...

I feel like worse pictures need to be shared just so people can truly sit with and understand what took place.

😡😡😡this is the effort to abolish history

He is a disgrace and must be removed! Period.

Yeah, he doesn’t realize slavery is bad yeah, he just don’t want white people to know that I guess what a loser

Squirrel. Not talking about the economy. Not talking about epstein files. You’re so easily distracted.

Fuck him

slavery IS bad. Human trafficking (modernized words of slavery) is bigger today than it’s ever been.

He and JD Vance are a couple of weird fuckers

Seems a little hypocritical coming from the guy who has nothing good to say about America!🤦🏼‍♀️

Absolutely disgusting

There should be a Smithsonian exhibit showing the executions of all Confederates, and the resettling of all Confederate lands by freed slaves. But there isn’t, because slave-owning Johnny Rebs got to live on and prosper, after attempting to destroy the Union.

Not if you're a white supremacist.

Epstein-Trump files

Question: Where are the reporters with the questions he ought to be asked? Answer: It doesn't matter. He won't answer them and we're close to critical mass. #Epstein #Stable_Genius_My_Ass

What do you think he intends to do with all of the detainees?

Disappear and/or kill them

& to think, 77 million Voters are identified with that 79 year old ignorant sick old man: Anti-abortion, Anti-gay Anti-immigration 2025 Project white Christian nationalists. Without the dead-letter-literal interpretation of the Bible fundamentalists, Trump would never have been president.

The 🤬 #RACIST #tRUmp 👻 ✝️ 🔥 and 🤬 #GOP are #EVIL 👹 SOBs‼️

So vile, absolutely evil! 😤

Worse than most of us know

Why not ban the bad side of the Holocaust while you're at it.

Exactly . . . I can’t believe this shit & I thought I couldn’t be shocked anymore by anything this orange felon does . . .🥺 How can he just get away with doing this stuff - NOBODY stands up to him⁉️ 😩

When I get to the point where I have to say, "Slavery is bad" to someone, they are going to get punched instead.

Someone had to tell him that. When he visited Pearl Harbor on the anniversary of the attack, Trump asked his Chief Of staff, John Kelly''' Why are we here?'' Kelly said ''To honor the men and women who died in the attack'' Trump said'' What attack are you talking about?'' The man is just stupid'

He cannot comprehend anything that doesn't revolve around him and his worldview.

He’s mentally ill.

I am often frustrated at the number of people who continue to ignore the obvious fact that he is mentally unwell. If more people kept highlighting that he is insane, people would stop expecting rational reactions from him. We would all start our conversations with “he is mentally ill”, so…

I don't think it matters. US Politics has become a reality show to a lot of people, and the GOP will hold onto power at any cost. Even if it means keeping this lunatic in the White House. The fact that he's still not in prison is evidence enough of that. Imagine if Obama did any of this?

I’ll try. 🙂

Seriously???

sorry, serioulsy about what?

Only about Fotus’s lack of knowledge of history!

Because white people complained they didn’t like seeing it. It made them uncomfortable so now it has to go. I think we know who has to go.

What a moron! You can't erase history dumbass!

I'd be ok seeing Pedofuhrers photo taken with torn skin from whips for the sake of historical record!

But we don’t want to hurt the small child’s feelings, we ALL know his feelings matter! Dumb 🤡‼️🤬

Bad for the slaves, perhaps. I think Dear Leader is simply making the case that there are two sides to every story.

Why would he? He'd be crazy to go to jail instead of accepting the power that American citizens hand him on a silver plate. It's up to the people to take him down.

The fucker who couldn't handle bone spurs is saying that slavery was a over blown.

The whole tweet is utterly grotesque, inane and insulting.

He treats people like animals every day, so this wouldn't move Trump. Remember him calling a Congresswoman a pig?

Real class act. But that’s why maga will never turn on him.

So all the folks who are championing this blatant and appalling racism, they know we arent going to forget they did this and that we know who they are right?

Every time I think I couldn’t possibly hate him more, he proves me wrong!

As a white woman, I got sick to my stomach reading this. The KKK and every other hate group must be doing high fives today. They have their grand wizard not hiding anymore. Things are about to get much worse if you don’t stop him.

no question about it, and should never ever be forgotten or willfully erased.

He needs to leave

If reincarnation happens, I hope 47 comes back as a low-income, woman of color.

Perhaps he should experience it firsthand. I'll get the whip.

Why doesn’t he just die already? I can’t imagine the drug cocktail he must be on. I just wish the fuck he would choke to death on his next burger. Imagine not seeing his face. Not hearing that voice. Oh the quiet. And all the maga tears, it has been dry. I had anesthesia today.

He's always been a racist POS.

The Felon’s stupidity is astounding.

Don't blame on stupidity what is done out of malice. Who's more stupid? A nazi pedo who manages to get away with it, or a population who give power to a nazipedo?

He doesn't know what woke means.

Slavery was/is evil!

Epstein.

He needs to be removed. Now.

Well, that's a start, but I think @unknown was getting at something a bit more nuanced.

We know he's a raging racist. What about those files?

He doesn’t understand that he can never erase history! Our history was passed on my word of mouth before and we can and will stand and tell it to all who listens.

One of my favorite nonfiction books. Ultimately he is doomed to fail and history will condemn him.

Waiting for the sequel "How the World is Pissed."

As long as neither are about kidney stones I’m in

We are in Orwellian territory now

A big lie is more acceptable than an uncomfortable truth.

This GOP and their Leader are white supremacists!!!

There's nothing superior about White Supremists.

Use the Right words like NAZI or Fascist. The GOP ist now the same as the NSDAP in Germany 1938

God how tf did we actually get here wtf🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

As a slaves master would do

Slavery is extremely horrendous. I have only recently learned this from Black Women. The history books I was given didn’t even touch how sick white people are. Books were whitewashed, of course. That should change. Thank you to my friends for opening my eyes.

Trump clearly doesn’t understand “keloids”….which changes WOKE to Evidence. Evidence of cruel excessive acts/behaviour. He stated “the country can not be WOKE”…. Sooooooo no social awareness or addressing issues of social injustice, particularly related to race, gender, and inequality.🤷‍♀️

I once saw an old ankle shackle for sale in an antique store in North Carolina. It made me sick and horrified to even look at it. Yes, slavery was bad. And Trump is a racist.

SILENCE HIM

I’ve got champagne waiting in the fridge. 🍾 🥂

Hope we have a little notice, I’ve got a party to plan

😆

NOOO! There’s no time to lose! BYOF & BYOB & bring your own xtra-large glass/mug & foldable chair…you provide the recyclable plates & silverware, napkins.

I’m in!

HA! YAY!🥳 Whoohooo! 🎉 🎈 So…Bring on the 🧠💥🌋!

I'm in!!

Yes. I’m with you. Is he dead yet?

NOPE, lips still moving, gibberish coming out and the MAGNUTS are cheering him on

Unfortunately, I’m all too aware. Hoping for a “live” massive aneurysm, on air,…very soon!!!

I kinda want him to suffer in El Salvador for awhile then a long painful disease may be in order. Then just “disappear”. Don’t want the taxpayers to pay for the BIG BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL.

Great point. I’m thinking I can’t wait that long. I’m thinking if he left this🌎soon with about a month of drooling, severe pain, complete incontinence, but still aware, I don’t mind paying for his funeral because there would be more partying & reveling to overshadow it than MAGA mournful response

In MAGNUTS mind (what little they have) he will be a Martyr

I don’t care. I just want him gone. Enough people realize, now, that he’s in this only for himself. I believe the majority of the large contingency of Latino’s who voted for him realize he’s their enemy. He’s an enemy to so many now & Vance is so repulsive, I think even MAGA could be turned off.

Maybe I’m a dreamer, but must start somewhere.

I wish that somebody would do something like that to him so he could know just how "not Bad" it was

At least he's made it clear where he wants to go: back to slavery. Everything the Trump administration is doing is going back to 1870.

Statues are history and need protection from people trying to erase it. History is woke and needs some editing

Trump's evil is now coming out of his pores, and he is living a George Orwell reality show. Somebody get the hook.

Did we ever think we’d find ourselves here? Having to “clarify” that slavery was bad? OMG.

Next step: reinstating slavery.

We aren't too far from Trump claiming slavery was actually a good thing and Trump may be thinking about bringing it back. Someone has to do that farm work.

How long until we see Trumpism in the classrooms...

He’s a mad man.

Right. So, we can't just be glad we don't do that anymore. Can't, I dunno, LEARN from history, then? That about right, Donald?

this won't get him into heaven

It was an abomination, as was the brutality against the natives of what we now call America. And yes, those natives included "Mexicans" who lived here for centuries before the U.S. existed. Every one of us lives on stolen land. Taken by the most brutal means imaginable. By white men.

EXACTLY! Spot on. Keep correcting fools!👏👏👏

Oh yes, and don't forget about Epstein (which is what he wants).

Absolutely!

I hope MAGA gets an exhibit in the Smithsonian one day. It will not be a “HOT” exhibit, believe me.

Trump is the dumbest MFer to ever control nuclear weapons.

I'd say the Smithsonian has plenty of successes.

Still is.

I fear the orange tool will expire before he is held accountable for what he has done to the US. Americans have to remember that a large number of their fellow citizens either went along with this or outright support it. Either live with this shit or do something about it.

Slavery taught valuable trades. Sure.

It's as though trump wakes up every day and arrives to come up with the most repugnant idea he can. How could anyone with an IQ over 12 learn about this and view trump as anything it monstrous?

Sorry -- that should read strives not arrives.

Wisdom Optimism Kindness Empathy See? It’s not that hard.

Slavery and Jim Crow were horrifying.

Holy shite! Jefferson Davis is now the President of the United States. Robert E Lee and Jeb Stuart would be very happy.

How do you feel Black men and women who support Trump? This is a direction that is taking us back to women being unable to vote and acceptable to own another human being. Slavery is our history, don't let it go....

Make him a slave for a year.

Despicable, vile human being along with the others supporting this traitor. You cannot deny America’s history regardless how bad it makes the country look. We accept our faults and strive to be better. By erasing the past we are castrating our future. Fuck all who support this bullshit.

Can we be done with the entitled, bratty toddler? So tired of this kind of horse shit

If it wasn't so bad, is he willing to be a slave?

You should learn from history especially the bad times people went through especially black people and poor people all the wars caused by men in power and the millions who died it’s not woke it’s history and we should learn from it not erase and deny it

#fucktrump

Brian, Trump is just right in you face with his racism, it shames me to be American

My husband & I traveled thru the S showing our dogs, during the Obama yrs.Told everyone in our bubble, couldn't believe how many confederate flags flew in "tolerant" areas: Salem, Va; Greenville SC. We laid low: hard coming from NYC-but heard a lot of racist, anti-Semitic remarks; this is who we are

And it's so horrible and sad.

Yes, it is. Such beautiful areas filled with hate

We have a second house in Florida. It is maga country and they are all racist, with their mullets and confederate flags.

It's so disconcerting

Funny how these righteous/god fearing klans go after 'woke'.. when their bible teachings show Jesus Christ was the original WOKE master, eg stopping the stoning of a woman accused of adultry

He can’t read soooooo

Again- anything to distract from the Epstein files; but this is just an all time low. He is demented!

I do think he tries to distract from Epstein files but I think that he would have done this anyway.

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

But the Bible says slavery is ok.

Very true

And 11.600 liked it. What can I say?
