Citizen historians document Smithsonian exhibits under White House scrutiny The Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum, education and research complex. It's a public-private trust that has long operated at arm's length from the White House, but now finds itself...

Exhibit B as to why Trump should stay out of the Smithsonian. This is a Smithsonian fundraising video released in Sept 2024.

Most people have no idea all of the amazing and inspiring work the Smithsonian does. See the replies for ideas to help.

Exhibits A as to why Trump shouldn’t have any say over Smithsonian exhibits - he destroyed the Oval Office and made it a gold plated eye sore. He has no credibility to determine what good art is. I will leave that up to trained curators.

The Orwellian echoes in Trump’s push for ‘Americanism’ at the Smithsonian Donald Trump aims to rewrite America’s official history, including at one of the nation’s key sites of public history-making: the Smithsonian. George Orwell would recognize Trump’s impulse.

They want to eradicate any memory of slavery in America. Attacking our museums by censoring what is being displayed is vile.

So… like… telling the unvarnished truth about colonialism and slavery, and genocide of Indigenous peoples, and suppression of anything that challenges the WASP patriarchal power structure? Got it. #savethesmithsonian #resistance #resist #ftrump

It's way more important than people think!

'Biological reality': What genetics has taught us about race As US President Donald Trump takes aim at the Smithsonian Institution for "anti-American ideology", Adam Rutherford examines what the science of genetics has taught us about race.

Great article on why/how race is a construct. Biological variation exists, though. #blacksky #blacksinstem #savetheSmithsonian #SavetheBlacksonian

Yesterday, my son and I went to DC and saw the Cherry Blossoms. We also made sure to visit some of the Smithsonian museums before some of their items disappeared.
