If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

The Smithsonian removes a Trump impeachment reference from an exhibit. The label, added in 2021 to the National Museum of American History’s presidential power exhibit, has been taken down for “revisions.”

A Texas House committee — led by Republicans — just voted to advance the highly-gerrymandered, Trump-demanded congressional map specifically drawn to flip five Democratic House districts in favor of Republicans.

The full House will likely vote this coming week on the map.

The Smithsonian removed references to Trump’s impeachments from its presidency exhibit, months after he targeted the museum in an executive order.

Why is he attacking a museum?

It’s part of a larger plan to control not just what we do, but what we know. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?feature=shared

“Who could have known?”
“Um, the over 700 meteorologists and weather experts you fired? The NOAA departments DOGE purged. The climate scientists you maligned.” These poor families. To lose their children to such gross negligence and incompetence. It’s sickening.

Another victory for Team Cancer in the War on Cancer
Deeply saddened that the ENTIRE TEAM at NCI PDQ Cancer Information has been eliminated.

Our evidence-based summaries were updated throughout the year with the latest research and supported informed decision making between clinicians & patients with cancer across the US. 🇺🇸

It is critical we protect our public lands and national parks. We have sued the Interior Secretary for illegal firings before and will do so again if we must. This is a time to protect our outdoors and fight for what is right.
Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.

They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent.

They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology.

We will NOT be intimidated.

We will NOT be silenced.

We will DEFEND our freedom.
