Easily could change and the state could put together an escrow account. It’s “UNpRECeDENtEd” but WTF isn’t nowadays besides a congress full of spineless do nothings?

Trump discovers a new level of loserdom daily.

Sure, dude. The meaning of words like “law” is minutia in the same way that a museum’s dereliction of duty to the truth is just a minor misstep that will be redressed once the mad king who issues decrees from his social media account just decides to stop being a tyrant. When hasn’t appeasing a tyrant worked, after all?

It’s all just so complicated, and not at all that a single guy is saying he has all of the authority in the world, limited only by his own morality and is calling on you with powers that he doesn’t legally possess to rewrite recent, thoroughly documented events and you’re licking his boots in hopes that he’ll leave you alone for a little while.

They seem to have simply complied with a law, just like they have fire suppression, first aid kits, railings at staircases, etc.

In no way is compliance with safety laws compromising the mission of a museum. That’s one difference between those “laws” and it’s an important one. Another difference is that an executive order is not a law.

aren’t you afraid of how you’ll be treated if minorities become the majority?

Many (mostly white) people are convinced that others will seek “racial” vengeance.

It’s all throughout the myths regarding what they thought would happen if we freed the slaves, to what they thought would happen if we allowed black people equal footing under the law, to what they thought would happen if a black man was elected to the presidency.

It’s really one thing the entire time: the false insistence that “race” is some kind of determining factor in a person’s soul or essence, and the loathsome postulate that at some point there will be a “race” war in which their “race” will reign supreme.

It’s in the Nazi myths; it’s in the KKK myths; it’s in the Turner diaries; it’s in the neo-Nazi myths; it’s in the Manson family myths; it’s in the Ruby Ridge myths; it’s in the Waco myths; it’s in the Timothy McVey myths; it’s in the myths of the racially motivated mass shootings in South Carolina and New York; it’s in the MAGA myths.

To say the idea is pervasive is almost an understatement.

These people continually try to incite a “race” war through their actions and insist that if another “race” was in charge they would do the same thing.

Really, they’re just massive pieces of shit racists and they haven’t realized that most people aren’t such losers that they consider their “race” to be worth killing or dying over.

I think I’d prefer to shutter the museum over pretending that you can somehow compromise on what the truth is. The Smithsonian, like many institutions in the last year, folded with little to no resistance.

How much of history do you alter before your museum is a farce? How much truth can you change to lies for the sake of funding before your museum is just a propaganda program for an authoritarian regime?

Why wait? Capitulate today!

Sometimes I like to think these types of things are being implemented by people that expect to revert them if there’s ever a next administration,

Well the thing about that is that is not how history is supposed to fucking work. If history seriously is just whatever politician thinks it was then the whole enterprise is worthless.

Fake fucking museum

Completely fucking illegal. Add it to the pile, I guess. 🤷

“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.

Counterpoint: no you fucking won’t

The only one I heard of was this one: https://generalstrikeus.com/ and I think Cory Doctorow was trying to get one planned: https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2024-11-11-rip-jane-mcalevey-organize-f8ba7e91c5c9. He set his date out pretty far in the future because he knows that it’s difficult to organize one.

It feels hopeless but the real way to stop the train a’rolling is a general strike.

Join us and defend the culture of being fucking thugs that shoot moms in the face.

Buy your shotguns now, folks.

OMG you guys maybe voting for the continuing resolution to allow record funding for a paramilitary organization while a dementia riddled, amoral lunatic is running the country was a mistake! Who would’ve guessed!?

They’re never getting 2/3+ even if Trump eats a baby live on television. It’s a cult.

They impeached him twice already. The 2/3 of the Senate conviction is another thing entirely.

I’m happy to pay my California taxes.
