When sanity returns to #UnitedStates, the #Smithsonian should build a new Museum about Authoritarianism in #America and how it impacted society during this period. Within that museum, this should be presented in very prominent position. #uspoli

"From afar, the diverse people of West Africa may seem to belong to one culture or tribe. However, with more than 100 ethnic groups in Ghana and upwards of 300 in Nigeria, where 500-plus languages are spoken, each country is unique."

Trump is messing with the wrong department. The Smithsonian is over 150 yrs old worth of history.
Our Leader, Secretary #smithsonian #lonniebunch is no push over. This is one fight trump will lose. He will Lose big.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2025, a horrifically #neonazi #ExecutiveOrder targeted the #Smithsonian with a defence of literal "#ScientificRacism". It critiques exhibits simply for noting the proven fact that #race is a human invention, a #SocialConstruct.

The National Air and Space Museum Without the Crowds National Air and Space Museum exhibits include items from the Spirit of St. Louis, Apollo 11, and Star Trek. How to visit without the crowds.

Learn just how bad you’d be at flying a fighter plane at D.C.’s National Air and Space Museum — or at it’s much less crowded (but spectacular!) branch in Virginia. #smithsonian #nationalairandspacemuseum #visitdc #spacegeek #travelsky #overtourism

See the 2,500-Pound Bronze Bison as They Arrive at Their New, Permanent Place at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History More than a century ago, the massive mammals actually grazed beside the Smithsonian Castle. As of today, two large sculptures continue that legacy as they flank the museum’s main entrance

Teenagers are AWESOME🌟

In Virginia teenager Mia Heller has created a "filtration system harnesses the power of ferrofluid, a magnetic oil that binds to microplastics in flowing water." How cool is that🥳 #thereisgood❤️

Thanks #Smithsonian😊 www.smithsonianmag.com/inno...

Getting to the #Smithsonian museums today by driving takes an hour and 10 minutes, by Metro it takes 30 minutes. 🤔 it’s almost faster to walk the 3.5 miles than drive.
(Initially yesterday they said rain would be in forecast I thought I’d do a museum but it’s gorgeous today, will stay outside)

Trump is angry at the #Smithsonian for being overly concerned about how slavery was bad.

Unbelievable! Slavery is bad, period, case closed.
