What the "administration" is doing in the Smithsonian is like burning the library at Alexandria. #SmithsonianInstitution

🫣 Funds apportioned for the #SmithsonianInstitution are only available for use in a manner consistent with Executive Order 14253. Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History (Trumpettes #VinceHaley #RussellVought)🙄

#Congress created the #Smithsonian &tasked its #BoardOfRegents to administer.

White House says slavery is being taught wrong, should not be so negative Special Assistant to the President Lindsey Halligan said the Smithsonian museums had become "laboratories for political experiments."

#LindseyHalligan, the #WhiteHouse official leading a review of the #SmithsonianInstitution, said you "can't really talk about #slavery honestly unless you talk about hope and progress" during a #Newsmax appearance on Wednesday.

"Slavery's fine, keep it upbeat k?

Trump claims Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was' The president made the remarks in a social media post amid a White House review of Smithsonian museums and exhibits.

Trump is accusing the #SmithsonianInstitution of focusing on "how bad slavery was" and not about the "brightness" of the US

His comments come a week after the #WhiteHouse ordered a review of the museums and exhibits on Aug. 12 ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday

1. SMITHSONIAN President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric about the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday, alleging that its museums were too focused on the negative aspects of US history, including "how bad slavery was." The comments, which he posted on his social media site, came a week after the White House ordered a review of the Smithsonian's museums and exhibits "to ensure alignment with the President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions." If the Smithsonian refuses to purge materials that conflict with Trump's political directives, it could suffer a fate similar to the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities. Both organizations lost tens of millions of dollars in federal funding earlier this year, which has affected small museums, libraries, arts programs and research projects across the country.

A Native American artwork. Half blue half red, big hand outline in the center, and two figures in the middle of the hand outline. To me it signifies the Murdered Missing Indigenous women, but I might be wrong

Just got back from the American Indian Museum in DC. The most chilling takeaway was the quote from Thomas Jefferson about wanting to exterminate Native Americans. #AmericanIndianMuseum #SmithsonianInstitution

The U.S. is our most important scientific partner — built on trust, shared values, and decades of collaboration. I’m grateful to meet @ellenstofan.bsky.social from the #SmithsonianInstitution to strengthen this transatlantic bond and explore future opportunities, including in ecosystem research.

THIS must be stopped!

This is NAZI-LEVEL purging!

The #SmithsonianInstitution is a trust instrumentality of the United States, lawfully created by Congress in 1846!!
The Executive Branch #Trump Admin should not have their dirty hands on OUR priceless #Smithsonian‼️
