History has always been edited by the victorious. This is why Trump feels like he can do this, he sees himself as the victor and half of America agrees with him

My high school geometry teacher was in one. That’s not how he described it😐
Anyone wonder what the past generations that fought fascism in Europe would think of this? Closing an exhibit showing how we let people fleeing genocide down. Meanwhile sending billions to a country inlicting a genocide on Palestinians.
Why are they complying? Just why?
The Trump WH is full of anti-American content -- the desire to squash the 1st Amendment, the fascistic URGE to violate the 4th Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure, and the 5th Amendment guarantee of due process rights. Miller is a huge lump of anti-American content.
I have a headache.
What a dickwaddle.
US was the bad guy during and after the war. Permitted Russia to take control over Eastern Europe. Brought Nazis to thr US Operation Paperclip. Stole German modern advances that lead US to become a superpower. As Russian communism threatens Europe again and Trump is helping Putin the Commie.
Hah, and we might as well add how my indigenous ancestors were "given" land to live the rest of their lives in "peace."
I was just at Heart Mountain! Not a delightful summer resort!
Going to interesting to see how they manage to scrub that well know historical tidbit from the internet and everywhere else on earth. Canada turned away the same boat, and we owned up..ashamed, yes, covering it up? Nope.
F***** up but you know it. This just got to be stopped and we need to decide as a people if we're going to do it because obviously are compromised government can't. And the ones financially supporting this the oligarchs must be liquidated completely and criminally held accountable
They will also be writing books about how alligator Alcatraz was a wellness spa where the dear demented leader smothered immigrants with love and support
Dumb. Anti-American is ignoring the dumb shit we've done and pretending we've always been awesome. It's not true or honorable to America to hide our mistakes.
Someday they will all be deceased or in prison.
Guess what else happened because they turned away Jews?
we teach and remember history so that we wont repeat it xx
True history is not pro or anti, it is a reflection of the true historical past! If tweaked one way or the other, it’s not reflective of reality!
Did you not see all of the "slavery wasn't that bad" propaganda?
This is DISGUSTING and DISGRACEFUL! Our Institutions are kowtowing. Communists and Fascists and Nazis and Dictators rewrite history. Make sure you are buying history books, national documents, memoirs, letters… We WILL NOT allow ANY of our horrors of the past and present to be erased.
💪🤬
So wrong.
Pretty f’d up that at this point in history literally just telling the facts of exactly what our country has done is considered to be against our own interests—like if telling the truth is now UnAmerican wtf does that say about us?
You can’t hide history. Once he’s gone, it can all be displayed.
I’m so sorry, George, for the pain you must be reliving as someone - well not just anyone, a distinguished actor beloved by Americans and more - who should be happily watching the country become more and more progressive. This is regression and it’s sad. I can’t imagine. We ❤️ you.
Just like slavery was on the job training. It never ceases to amaze me how twisted people can make history from the facts.
This a horrible travesty! That museum has the history that we all need to know! Please do not give in to this tyrant!
Trump lives in lies. His life is just an ugly fantasy not grounded in reality. It’s very sick
This is just disgraceful. The truth will not go away and needs to be exposed to the light of day for all to know
Unless tRump is stopped. Probably yes. 🚬😎
This maniac MUST be stopped! Steven Miller is a straight NAZI.
So y'all know: This is why Trump calls Chuck Schumer "cryin Chuck" He was talking about this at a press conference during the Muslim ban drama. (Interestingly, it was also my pinned tweet on Twitter which Mia Farrow retweeted, & was my only viral tweet ....) Since removed. Newer version remains.
can't rewrite everything there is evidence everywhere
I hope they are keeping all these exhibits and information in a super secret safe place, that none of the people in the administration can ever find! So when the regime is finally gone, the institutions can re-display everything.
Like the European Jews who buried their belongings before they were taken away. Never to return. WE must save history.
Sometimes, it worked. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringelb...
Thank you for that info!
My great aunt was an apprentice in a women's lingerie store owned by Jews. When the Nazis banned Jews from owning businesses, my Tante took over the shop. The original owners were 'disappeared' and never came back after WW2. My aunt continued to run the store until she retired in the 1980s.
When the Allies won and Germany surrendered, my German relatives hid their cameras, pictures, paintings and other valuables by burying them. I have my Onkel's camera, but of the hundreds of photos, few remained.
This is abhorrent.
We're going to have to update the "I was Not a Nazi Polka."
And making Hitler's blitzkrieg possible due to many Ford trucks for troop transports or Stalin's refinery capacity built and maintained by Koch Industries while Hitler and Stalin had the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact to invade Europe to divide it between both. Stalin took what Hitler lost
Our museums and gov’t websites are meant to educate us, not gaslight us.
So the truth is now called anti-American. I’d call this phenomen censorship.
The #US *did* #turn-away and #refused-to-help those who #desperately-needed-them. The millions of Jewish & other captives deaths at the hands of the Hitler regime is, in part, on the US government. If you thought we'd moved beyond this. You thought wrong. #EndTrump #Impeach47 #Section47 #Jail47
👎👎🤬🤬🤬
Time to dump Trump
The truth, to Trump, is anti-American.
Trump is anti American
Nothing has changed This "defend the jews" is all about Armageddon They should really look into that Christian story It ends kinda scrappy for any jew who doesn't change religions in the end Typical Christians...promise heaven deliver hell on earth
Well he can’t stop me from teaching it.
👍
"Globally #fascist governments of the past have targeted institutions that support an informed and mobile public sector; this strategy is critical to maintaining power. An oppressed, uneducated citizen is much easier to control." humanrightsfirst.org/library/publ...
History cannot be changed or altered and today we have the internet
But if the tech bosses change it on the internet ( like google and Chatbots giving wrong answers on purpose) what will you do? Better to invest in physical copies than rely on the internet that governed by Trump flunkies.
Good point
💯!
He thinks America is as thin skinned as he is.
The United States is one of the main reasons any Jews lived Even if the Roosevelt admin turned them down so what it wasn’t in the USA interest at the time and he actually Listened to his voters WHO WANTED NOTHING TO DO with “Europes war” they called it ignorant of Asia Pearl Harbor Jews are cool
😞
He needs an ignorant America, so he really feels at home. 🤦
That’s been the GOP plan since Bush jr., in part thanks to Carl Rove iirc
Go back further. They've been defunding schools since the 70's under Nixon. This is a LONG term plan.
Trump is the result of that long term plan.
I recommend this documentary for those that are curious what history Trump and his goons are trying to erase:
The exhibit describes the US doing to Jewish refugees exactly what Trump wants for today’s refugees. He should be cool with that.
FFS
McCarthyism is alive and well… who is in today’s unamerican committee?
South Park…. decades ahead of their time y.yarn.co/2a4ec8a6-2bd...
Well, isn’t it antisemitic to erase the history of the Jewish people which includes the fact that the U.S. did turn away Jewish refugees? This administration goes after the institutions & people they don’t like claiming antisemitism yet they themselves do things that are antisemitic. Pure hypocrisy!
😡😡😡
You can’t alter the bad parts of American history because this idiot says so.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. Trump is more than a Nazi wannabe. He is a Nazi to his very core.
Trust me, you hit the nail on the head. Once a NAZI is always a NAZI. Only the MAGA supporters won’t believe this.
yes they will
Why do we have to suffer this guy?
Fucking bastards
Valid observation.
Yep.
Every day brings more outrageous actions by this vile man. I was raised Christian, and never wished harm on anyone, but this asshole needs to leave the planet. I will party for at least a week when he dies.
Trump is trying to rewrite history just like Big Brother did in 1984.
An important part of studying history is to learn from the past so we don't repeat things in the future. Important things like... say, not turning away refugees or learning about what used to happen before there were vaccines. Or what happens when an evil person gains unchecked power (Hitler)
That’s the history the criminal trump organization wants.
Tell the truth, the whole truth, no matter who it offends. We know who is in the bad light as the good.
How is it “anti-American” to tell America’s true history, and “pro-American” to tell lies about America’s history? Isn’t lying about our history disrespectful?
Well, Trump has already declared slavery was actually a good thing..
Trump has real issues with truth
How is this travesty of misrepresentation not anti-Semitic? Telling less than the whole truth is shameful.
Ever seen the documentary "Jesus Camp"? It breaks down why evangelicals believe they need to "possess Israel" in the end times. It's very antisemitic. Also the evangelicals I grew up with didn't denounce my full blown n@zi classmate. He's still a member, as far as I know. And still pathetic lol
It is antisemitic. Trumpists are antisemitic. A trumpism sees a Jew not as a person, but as a living shield for his racism, only to discard after the genocide.
Well said.
Our college is supposed to get the traveling exhibit. I wonder if it will actually happen, but if not we can still write tons of juicy curriculum based on those facts alone.
Oh, they have started! There is an AI-generated John Adams with no hair. He is very happy 🤩. He got all the votes because you can't argue with facts! Then, a Trump-generated AI-bot tells me to safeguard my freedom! Up next, slavery. They probably had underdeveloped 🧠 so it wouldn't be so bad 😭😭.
He looks like a deranged lunatic in his mug shot.
Oh this is nuts! Fight back!!
This is so fucking wrong and I am INFURIATED
The day after the Oct 7th 2023, the world once again turned on Israel. A common refrain is, How could they do this after the Holocaust? The 10/7 attack was the largest mass murder event since WW2. If that wouldn't upset you, check your pulse.
And 9/11 killed more people. And a lot of the Israelis who were killed were killed by the IDF.
Hannibal directive indeed. Only an antisemite can support the IDF-terrorists.
Nethamjahu openly announced plans to put 600.000 Palestinians in camps If that doesn't. Upset you, check your pulse.
How could the world turn on the ethnonationalists regime that is carrying out a new holocaust?
This is one of those times that sane people can say “7 Oct bad. Gaza genocide also bad”.
WTF is wrong with you? You’re supporting the Palestinian Holocaust that is being committed in broad daylight. You’re supporting daily crimes against humanity. You’re supporting an ethno-supremacist apartheid state. Zionists are just as racist and fascist as nazis. We see that all around the world.
Oh fuck off with israel propaganda. Maybe hamas in one day killed over 1k jews but israel in first 3 months or so kill around 3-4k Palestinians. Tell me. Who started mass genocide? And why after fucking 2 ish years even IDF starting waking up?
So you’re saying that genocide is measured by the number of casualties, not by the intent of the perpetrator? Part of the reason you grandstanding clowns look so ridiculous is because you don’t even understand the definitions of the words you like to sling around so casually.
I disagree with you the world did not turn it back on Israel on Oct 7. Certainly some did but not the whole world.
Why do you keep lying so shamelessly? Litterly nothing you said in this post is true and you seem, to feel no embarrassment for it at all.
The captain even thought about beaching the ship. It wasn't one of the US golden hours.
This is why the IS changed the immigration policy, post WWII to allow in people seeking asylum. Which Trump is undoing.
It was a PR stunt. The international refugee process was difficult as fuck to navigate on purpose *before* 9/11. It got even worse after that.
Like, there were displaced persons camps well into the 1950s containing Holocaust survivors. The Allies didn’t want to take in Jews prior to WW2 and they sure as shit weren’t eager to take them in after. Kicker: some DP camps were concentration camps, because why waste infrastructure?
We ARE the Archives of the Future. If HE can't handle the truth, that's HIS problem. He doesn't get to take everything away he doesn't like.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS SHIT??? ITS ONE CHILD RAPIST AND A DOZEN CRIMINAL MAGOTS AGAINST THE REST OF OUR COUNTRY. FELON RAPIST TRUMP IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS TO DO - WE HAVE TO STOP HIM FROM ERASING OUR HISTORY!!!!
Spon there will be a new exhibit right next to the holocaust one detailing the maga fascist problem and American naziism
Or that Japanese people asked to be put into 'protective custody' to shield them from the public, or something. That the government only did it to help them. 🙄
Changing the story won’t change the facts!
Oh, so now we're back to House Un-American Activities Committee?
Everything he’s doing to censor content in museums and next, in galleries, is pure propaganda. It’s disgusting.
When 47 is gone we will remember all who bent the knee.
And hopefully prosecute!
Amen!!
🧵”God knows, 😒‼️”
WTAF?It's a good job no other museum in any other country in the world,would do this for that absolute cretin!The truth will ALWAYS be found,sadly just not in America.Your children will be shocked & disgusted when they learn the truth,& how their parents let this abomination of a man try to hide it!
Why do we keep using the picture that he loves?
This erasing of history is pathetic.
It’s worse than that- it’s evil. It trivializes the pain this country has caused to so many while keeping present & future generations from acknowledging it. Because it’s no longer discussed, the victims’ trauma goes unaddressed, keeping them & others from healing or worse, repeating the atrocities.
It’s so insulting to our intelligence. The idea that we as a people are not strong enough to look our history in the face and see it fully for what it was-see all the harm-because we must be “proud” instead, originates with the worst of us: a bunch of shameful, frightened little rich White bullies.
It's a disgrace.
It's so desperate.
It also speaks volumes. Every bit that the rapist felon tries to hide shows how vile he is. His intentions are very clear. #GOPKKK
Can’t really erase it. We have to keep sharing the truth.
It’s a travesty.
Takes no character to ignore truth.
Actually, it takes no character to distort truth. Ignoring it might be cowardly, but twisting it is just plain dishonest
If we all do our jobs this will only be “temporary”. Like most of what Trump has done, we restore it to its previous state as quick as humanly possible.
What infuriates me the most is people letting him change history to fit his st-pid narrative. It's like they're letting him destroy everything just to keep him happy.
The population that elected this trash actively, or by sitting home on their lazy asses, is not going to suddenly start “doing their job.” Americans in general feel no obligation, curiosity, or interest in staying current with factual political news. Their media isn’t providing it & they don’t care
Greg Palast documented that if it weren’t for voter suppression, Kamala would have won. In other words, enough people who wanted to (tried to) vote would have elected Kamala.
We I say “we” I’m hoping you understand I’m not talking about Republicans or those that “elected this trash.” “We”, the ones positioning for change. “We”, the ones looking to support. “We”, the fair. “We”, the ones fighting tireless everyday. When “we” move away from this mess, “we” will repair.
Everybody do your part to preserve American History! There's a multi-pronged effort to re-write and/or erase it. #KnowYourHistory Defend books, promote programs, stand & defend! #SoulOfAmerica
I agree
NO. we must NOT return it to what we had before. the shit we had before was what let this happen in the first place. we need to make it better than it ever was and give the power to the PEOPLE instead of the two fucking parties.
We will need to install a lot of missing guardrails.
Absolutely, Pete.
Accurately representing history did not lead us here. I like the vibes and the ending message though.
i wasn't talking about accurately representing history. i was talking about the way the government worked before trump.
Forgive me, this thread was about masking history. When I mention returning things to previous states: Using science in medicine. Not extorting colleges for money. Returning PBS, NPR and Sesame Street. Not placing military in cities to mulch parkways. And dozens of other, common sense norms
It will take generations. A good deal of us will be dead.
The best part of living in this day and age is that there are lots of people who actively archive things, but also, anyone who saves this stuff, even if not intentionally to archive it, are archiving things. Every extra copy matters.
I would use another word: criminal.
Dishonesty 😒😒
Honestly, rewriting history to fit a narrative is straight up weak. Can't handle the truth, can't handle the past. What's next, erasing the Holocaust entirely
But God help you if you try to take down a Confederate General statue.
Exactly I was just going to send you this
It's disgusting
It really is! I know I shouldn't be shocked by anything this asshole does, but I can't believe these museums are actually doing it. 🤬
I don’t like his being so stupid never comes back to bight him.
Me either. I'm so sick of it!
Bight? lol. I’m not taking any more weed gummies.
🤣 If I drink, I usually put a post out that anything I post tonight will be under the influence of booze. 😅
I do that with ambien and it’s about to happen.
Lol Shit I need to take my meds 🤦♀️ Thank you 😊
The Holocaust Museum is BENDING TO THE WILL OF A DICTATOR?!? Please tell me this isn’t true. The museum should close itself down before dismantling exhibits to please the Dear Leader and his vile pirate crew.
”Never forget! Er - well, actually….”
The word for modified history is propaganda
But he is going after colleges that he claims are antisemitic. Make it make sense
People trying to rewrite history are evil in my book.
History books will be written about how this disturbing Trump Republican gov’t attempted to bulldoze American history and the democracy itself, but it won’t change the history. In fact, a more intense scrutiny of US history will follow this current administration. Historians are analyzing it now.
We did and it’s history. Why on earth do these idiots think we are up in their fascist stupid faces? We came late to that disaster. Own it, or repeat it. It’s now, in our streets in our Congress and in our White House. Miller WILL be remembered as Goebbels was, a puny unwanted shrekish twerp.
This may be an altered photo as all the women are clothed… best to appear “humane” for the masses.
Many people never made it to the camps. Nazis rounded them up from their town to a pre-dug mass grave in the woods and shot them dead.
My Polish nextdoor neighbour's garden was pretty much a farm. I understand why. He survived the Nazis by having worked the fields. They checked people's hands for callouses, those without any, they ran over with a tank.
I’m retired from healthcare. I worked for a time in a Jewish care facility. Not some, but every family,whether American or immigrant, loss family members or entire villages. Everyone.🕯️
🕯️For those who were murdered and for your neighbor who survived.
Very true. Some were forced to strip before going into or up to the firing pits.
A lot of firing squads happened in the ghettos as well or just randomly on any city street. Sometimes for no other reason than a Jew looked at a Nazi "wrong".
Very true.
But this particular photo: Row of German Soldiers with Rifles and Bayonets aimed at Norwegian Prisoners, on-set of the Film, "Edge of Darkness", 1943. Google images search is a beautiful tool.
Well done. The scene appeared staged to me. Never Forget!
Thank you. Without doubting in any way that these sort of atrocities were committed, I have found that often the photos that find their way into social media are from films.
The Jews in the Soviet sphere weren’t sent to concentration camps. They were shot often with their clothes on into pits. At least my relatives were.
Thats awful. So sorry.
Very true. 🕯️
True. Peace 🕯️to their memory.
Anti accuracy content. The rest of the world won’t lose track. But this effort brings the US closer to the drain.
He’s such an SOB.
How is telling the truth and stating facts "anti-American"? I HATE this country right now!
I'm just waiting for them to start claiming that the internment camps were important and necessary "Americanization."
I wonder how the zionists feel about this one
Zionists dont give a single fuck about the holocaust unless they can use it to gain something. Jewish folk i know hate zionists because all they do is cause tension and increase hate against jews just trying to be alive
The American people didn't want anything to do with it after World War I and the Great Depression. We didn't do anything until Pearl Harbor. Hence, the conspiracy theories about Churchill and FDR about Pearl. FDR wanted to fight fascism, but we didn't care until we were attacked. America First.
They’re already saying that slavery is better than being killed and a pretty good life. Senator Tim Scott (R- SC) is supporting that BS. The ultimate goal seems to be an internment camp for all outside the 1% of elites regardless of race. We are all livestock to these evil nutcases.
Same dude that thinks saying slavery is bad is “woke” newrepublic.com/post/199287/...
Don’t give them any ideas.
You must’ve been in the wrong section of the camp. And missed the rewritten history where slavery was beneficial to the slaves www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
😳
I am sure you are absolutely correct!
DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SAY " FUKK YOU, NO!"
We had a government of anti-semites making sure Jews could get visas and were turned away. JFC this regime is goddamn bullshit!!!
Should be could NOT get visas….
AND my home state of North Dakota had an Asian American internment camp outside Mandan…a state that minimized two culture - Asian Americans and American Indians. A state full of people that supported the Nazis before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. (Yep heavy shame coming from ND in their politics)
He's whitewashing the country and rewriting history. He's insane!
There’s a reason Prager U is becoming a ‘source’ for Red State education…
Even the government can’t change history!
No, but many countries have some successfully changed the history that their population believes. In my experience, very few look to educate themselves once out of school. Most prefer the comfort of received wisdom.
Excellent points!
Read some Orwell.
I have!
There is a reason I'm not visiting loved ones in the states. I'm freaked by Trump's pettiness. At least the regime under the other GoP fascists aren't as likely to go, "Arrest if they come in for criticizing glorious leader" so long as I don't mouth off while in their borders
Still don't want to visit til the GoP is *gone*, but my fiancee doesn't seem to understand the risk yet and might do something drastic if I don't come down at least after Trump has croaked =/
The GQP Camps willl have "Hypocrisy Is Strength" written over their gateway arches:
Man that’s so scary how real this could be.
One cross per person.
This is disturbing on its face,but certainly not far off.
Oh hey, that's me all the way on the right!
That's pretty much all of Bluesky, then. I think I won't be making plans to visit the US for a while. It's a bucket list country, but not right now.
As somebody who lives here, I wouldn't suggest it. You're not alone in canceling travel plans to the US. It's not a safe country for tourists.
I think I'm on the left but only because they hadn't checked my socials yet.
Same!!! PLUS a veteran, female, disabled and TRUE CONSERVATIVE AND CONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOT
That uneducated convict must be stopped from making history in his Hilter fever dream. It was what it was!
By his own standards, is he not being antisemitic (again)?
Yep.
Boggles my mind that the MAGA crowd believes everyone else is the "snowflake." Owning up to past mistakes doesn't make you anti-american. It shows a strength of character these Nazi cucks will never understand.
It’s sickening, what he gets away with…
So true
There's no discernable difference.
Government according to public relations.
@papst-ny.bsky.social
This is total BULL SHYT! The truth HAS to be told.
Get Pedonald out of the Smithsonian. Get him out of DC, out of the WH, get him out the USA! Pedonald is anti-American!
We are not stupid, dildohead and we will never forget any of it. You cannot erase anything in this day and age🙄🤦🏻♀️💩
🤬🤬🤬
My God, ships sunk in our harbor because we wouldn't let them come in.
He thinks he can rewrite history
How can any thinking person be OK with this? History is sure to repeat itself!
Please ..don’t give Carnival cruise any ideas
George Orwell: “You guys didn’t listen 🤷🏻♂️”
They didn't say what nation took in those refugees.
😡
God damn trump is such an insecure prick
This is also his family history. His father was a Klan attendee.
His grandfather has ties to Germany and got kicked out. Not well versed on that so I won't give any reasons as to why he was there and got kicked out.
His gramps got tossed out of Germany for refusing to complete his mandatory military service. He begged them to let him come back and they said "oh sure, just as soon as you complete your military service, asshat" So we got stuck with a family of draft dodging, klan losers 🤢
Exactly !
🤬🤬🤬
Those who more claim for freedom, are the most threat the freedom.
The tub of orange sludge is the most toxic anti-American content in existence.
This is so wrong!
We will continue to listen to your story. We will continue to tell the story of our family friend. We will not let history be changed or lost.
If tRump had been president before and during WWII, he'd have deported those Jewish refugees back to Germany, while flattering Hitler.
Science and truth are both real not opinions. These f…ing republicans are just corrupt liars.
The truth hurts doesn’t it MAGA? Trump?
They already rewrote the insurrection and it is now “just a peaceful protest” It was so peaceful that my kid brother now lies in Arlington National Cemetery. Trump’s cult twists everything to reflect their own “reality” and ignores anything else yet so many people buy into it. It is maddening.
I’m so sorry for your loss. History - eventually - will remember your brother as the hero that he was. I certainly will! This J6 cr@p must be so painful for you and your family.
It's a cult.
I am very sorry that your brother lost his life due to the lawlessness of the felon’s supporters. I pray every day that the families of your brother and the other heroes who were injured or who lost their lives during this most awful time in America’s history will receive justice.
I’m so sorry for your loss The world still recognizes the sacrifice your brother made for his country *I know that brings little comfort. My daughter says that there’s a reason that there’s no word for when you lose a sibling because there isn’t a word that’s big enough to describe that loss 💔
It was criminal, no matter what that pos in the white house said or did after.
I've never forgotten first hand presentations and camp tours that I experienced in both Arizona and WA. I wish this were more deeply integrated into school curriculum, unpleasant though it may be....
The fragility of history!
Fuck them for capitulating. When will this insanity end???
Wow.
This bullshit is fucking outrageous. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
My God this guy thinks white washing American legacy is going to change anything? Everyone knows what happened. Native American Genocide, Slavery, Not joining WW2 till the last minute even though another Genocide was in progress. How do you whitewash THAT?
Wait a minute. Telling the Holocaust Museum to whitewash Jewish history is anti-semitic, right .....
The way US education system is now, I would bet people under 30 don't anything about what happened in WW2
"Welcome to the Manzanar Summer Camp Historical Site. It was here the American public offered some of our citizens and residents safe refuge from possible enemy attacks on the Pacific Coast during WWII."
Trump is finding was to reduce anti-American sentiment at home while super successfully building it abroad. Well done, you terrible toad.
What?
Another page of from the dictator playbook.
You can't erase history. Read about the St. LOUIS. The ship which carried hundreds of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and was turned away by United States!
Trump's gotta go
This is censuring of American history. New place to protest to save authentic history of our country!
Trump is a monster
Stop showing his nasty face. Hopefully he fades away soon.
As long as fading involves suffering I am good with it .
💔
Florida led the way with the lie that slavery gave useful jobs skills and lifelong personal benefits. www.cbsnews.com/news/florida...
🤬
So like you, America can do no wrong? You need to do shadow work, dude, you self-esteem sucks! Stop projecting you insecurities on us!
The Holocaust Museum is not part of the Smithsonian.
Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting! Trump is a vile, deranged, ignorant racist lunatic! 😡
This is so wrong. 😢 He's trying to decimate our museums, libraries, universities. He's an idiot monster!
It's not just him. There are people backing him who want this.
He'll be delighted to hang his name on them ("Trump"). 🤦
Thank you for your excellent manga book about your experience.
Oh, I can’t wait until my WWII unit rolls around this year…156 little friends get to hear George Takei’s TedTalk and read about the St. Louis.
He is the most despicable pile of fecal matter that has ever resided in our White House.
My Aunt Lisa was turned away leaving Warsaw to escape the Holocaust in the 1930s. She ended up in Argentina. Yes, it's real.
Ironic that she ended up in Argentina considering how many Nazis did too after the war.
🤡 is the poster child for anti-Americanism..
I went to school in a rural, conservative area and was raised in a very conservative household. I did not know that Japanese internment camps existed or that that was part of our history until I followed you around ten years ago. Thank you for being part of my growth journey 🫶
It's tragic that it's hidden. It adds context to WHY it's ok to enter illegally and then ask for asylum. I've stagger a few MAGA types by pointing out we sent Jews back to Germany. "Yeah, but this is different" after a few moments. But it still gets through. I just hope the seed stays planted...
There is a trend where people don’t blame kids for not knowing important things but readily blame adults who still don’t know, as if they could magically run into the information that they didn’t know they didn’t have. We have no choice but to speak up, educate, and guide humanity toward good.
I learned about it at San Diego State - California History was IIRC a mandatory course for graduation.
Covering up the more shameful parts of American history is not new. Education books published in Texas for decades presented slanted views of American history taught in our schools.
7th grade Texas history in Lubbock failed to mention that the revolution was because Mexico had outlawed slavery and the white Texians wanted to keep it.
I’m embarrassed to admit something similar. I was in grad school before I heard of the interment camps- from a person whose parents were held in one while he was in the army during WWII. Rest in peace Dr. Tamashiro.
I was informed as a teen watching "Return to Manzanar" on TV. I was stunned that I hadn't been taught about this. Also, the Tulsa massacre. ☹️
Thanks for learning and growing!
We toured one in Idaho (I believe it’s a national monument) and went to a memorial on Bainbridge Island in WA.
same but instead the internet has taught me they existed. i dunmo the details of them though.
I read George T's manga book about his experience as a child. It's very well written and taught me a lot. I highly recommend it. I checked it out of my local library.
Same
I believe I saw the movie version of ‘Farewell to Manzanar’ on TV when 1st released in 1976. It’s free to view on YouTube- Tom Lee channel.
I only knew about it from a CBC (News and TV station) thing David Suzuki did. Even though hes a well known Canadian Environmentalist, we never learned about it in school... Thought most of what I learned up until Uni was though library books, TV and online boards versus public school (90s and urban)
and it hasnt changed... almost all of what ive learned abt history is from the internet. i only rly actually learned any history in school when i took AP courses. which i find insane. why does it take an AP course for me to get to learn anything outside of the very basics of American history??
I didn't learn about them until after college. My Panama Canal Zone high school was pretty invested in maintaining a colonial system where White was always right.
I did 12-years hard time in private school. I learned about it in college. I struggled to believe it was true. I couldn't believe my government would do that to citizens, and that my schools wouldn't teach it.
I'm glad you were able to finally learn about the atrocities. Republicans are HELL BENT on hiding America's crimes against humanity. WHY? It's part of our history. It takes absolutely nothing away from them as people to acknowledge the past. It only proves they, too, have something to hide.
There were a lot of things we weren't taught about American History. I didn't know about the Greenwood massacre and the destruction of Black Wallstreet until a couple of years ago. Embarrassing. I didn't know about the WV miners and fighting with private security.
I heard that The Donald rescinded that order after Steve Miller explained to him that Americans are proud that they sent the Jewish refugees back to die as consistent with his policy to deport asylum seekers to CECOT death camp. So the Smithsonian needs to restore the exhibit to celebrate that.
Yeah despite being descended from Jews Miller could care less our Asylum policy came as a result of sending Jewish refugees back to die in the Holocaust.
Just when I think I couldn't HATE him more, I HATE him MORE!!
Can we PLEASE stop publicizing that asinine fake pic of this idiot. Bad enough we have to hear his lies and watch half of America prop up his 15 year old ego
Shame on them!
So wrong!
Gives them time to squirrel away the primary sources so when the Trumptroopers come knocking it’s all safely hidden? That’s what I’d be doing.
Following you and I see you are supporting a ginger floof 💙💙💙🐾
There is extensive information and evidence about what major countries turned away Jewish refugees and the reasons are always the same even now They can’t although they will try to hide and erase actual history
And the Rump is the Lord’s only begotten son.
We will restore everything and improve it, once the racist pedo felon is out of office.
Yes. So much to restore
Unfortunately, I think it will take another 1776 to remove ALL the racist pedos. We need to flush ALL of the DC pols and start all over. Too many are spineless willing to allow MAGAt felon do whatever he wants. They “write strongly worded letters” to “hinder” him 🙄🙄🙄
I think this next phase will be a rebuild and remodel
Yes I’m rather partial to roses not concrete.
Yes! Tear that ugly ass patio up! and that stupid ballroom. That is our house not his.
I think he should have to go through permitting for the expansion... If it was a third party, building on Federal Land, that's three years of hearings and reviews... His style is brutalist schlock... They will build it too fast, just jerko showing off... and it will be poorly done.
It’ll be a movie set facade.
I think the ballroom will be a fiasco
I'm only partial to concrete if, let's say....Trump was encased in concrete.
We're expanding it after all the concrete is removed, and adding even more roses 🌹
Let’s include an entire area for White Roses. #destroyFascism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_R...
Side note, I cannot read the stories of the five students and one professor and how their lives ended without seeing the stark parallels to ICE in today’s US. Heroes all- White Rose fascism-resisters: Willi Graf, Kurt Huber, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl.
great idea
Maybe native wildflower habitat?
nice, restore the woodlands
Agreed.
just like the Trump Taj Mahal
That’s this one…and folks wonder how ya bankrupt a casino…SMH
My alternate reply is, "I'm at a strange time in my life, right now." from Fight Club
Reconstruction + Fucking Consequences
true that
Every person who supported Trump in anyway, including all the voters should have their citizenship, revoked and deported somewhere horrible.
Already done, they're already there!
???
The us of a
"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" They don't want us to learn history, so they can repeat it.
tx history books reduced slavery to unpaid internships teaching domestic & agricultural skills, removing all mention of the trade route or sales, it celebrates it had to be forced to accept the Emancipation Proclamation that it had slaves when no other state did & invited slave owners into the state
Ok, so this museum should be protested out of existence right? What good is a museum if they change history at the whim of a crazy person. They will never be credible again. This should not be tolerated and they should be just as hated as the person who ordered it to happen.
Well, if we did nothing to them, AND the holocaust gets removed, WHY would we EVER send them money to commit genocide against the Palestinians?
I wouldn’t put it past them.
They need to start moving museum exhibits outside of the country to preserve them. Smithsonian in Exile.
as a german, i am puking right now. Shame on You! Don't allow this rewriting of history
Not Tulelake, freeze your ass off
I am truly disappointed in USHMM’s decision. 😞 I don’t understand how they, of all institutions who understand the importance of teaching about the horrors of the result of inaction against prejudice, fascism and designed holocaust of swaths of “lesser” people, would bend the knee to this POTUS.
Because he’s got the purse strings, since Congress has abdicated any responsibility.
Don't bet against it.
