#Trump Friday ordered “warning” signs & exhibits installed outside the #Smithsonian’s National Museum of #AmericanHistory to alert the public that the #museum does not, *in his view*, accurately reflect #UShistory. The “unusual” [batshit cray] directive, made through an [illegal] #ExecutiveOrder [of course], was a considerable escalation of Trump’s dispute with the #Smithsonian & its #history #museum, which was the subject of a recent [ #FarRight #WhiteSupremacist ] 162-page report. #law

Goddamnit this muther f⁕⚠︎er 🤬🤬🤬 #Trump ordered new signs outside a #Smithsonian #museum that warn its depiction of #UShistory is "inaccurate." Trump claimed the signage at the National Museum of #AmericanHistory would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.” NO! Your initially #insane brain that has clearly succumbed to #dementia is HELLA wrong you #billionaire #racist #misogynist! F⁕⚠︎ you! #law #museums #UShistory https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/arts/design/smithsonian-signs-trump-executive-order.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

#ForcedRelocation is nothing new... The #USA is quite good at it... Unfortunately! Mapping how the U.S. forcibly took #IndigenousLands Not long after the #Great AmericanExperiment began, the newly established nation set its sights west. Here's how a series of conflicts, forged treaties, and #ForcedMigration led to the loss of a majority of Indigenous lands. By Erin Blakemore Published July 8, 2026 "For the citizens of the newly established United States, the vast territory of North America (and the land of plenty it represented) seemed theirs for the taking. But these lands, some of the richest on Earth, had already been settled and stewarded for thousands of years by #IndigenousPeoples. Though their numbers had already dwindled due to new diseases and conflict with settlers, in 1776 approximately 250,000 #IndigenousPeople still lived within the territory delimited by the current borders of the U.S. The young nation, however, was intent on expansion—and set its sights on Indigenous land. Over the years, tribal interests and sovereignty would be trampled time and time again. Although land loss is the most visible consequence of dispossession, Indigenous customs, culture, and language (all firmly rooted in the land) were also under attack."

Master Slave Husband Wife The 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner for Biography by Ilyon Woo that tells the story of Ellen & William Craft + their escape from slavery in 1848 Georgia. Ellen, whose father was a white plantation owner was enslaved by her half sister, working as a seamstress + house servant. William, her husband, worked as a hired out carpenter for his master. Ellen who was extremely light skinned disguised herself as a wealthy southern planter while William portrayed her slave in order to make their escape. The 1st half of this book is a gripping tale - the 2nd half however looses the thread as Ellen + William travel to England - their story gets lost amid the politics + the stories of other abolitionist who help them on their journey. #masterslavehusbandwife #ellencraft #williamcraft #africanamericanhistory #abolitionists #americanhistory #blackhistory #booklist #mybookshelf #books #pulitzerprize #biography

May 4, 1970. Four students killed at Kent State. May 4, 1886. Haymarket. May 4, 1626. Peter Minuit "purchased" Manhattan — the founding fraud. The dead are watching, and they are not impressed. We remember not as ceremony but as muscle memory. The body knows the sound of a federal letter the way a deer knows a footstep. https://twp.ai/9OV23i #History #KentState #Haymarket #May4 #Memory #Protest #StudentMovement #NeverForget #AmericanHistory #lgbtqia #trans

12,000-year-old elk hide, sewn with hand-spun cord, found in an Oregon cave. Likely the world's oldest known sewing. Our nan claims she's been at it just as long. 🧵 Dry caves preserve everything. Ancient humans were extraordinary. What do you reckon they were making? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/these-12000-year-old-scraps-of-elk-hide-may-be-the-worlds-oldest-known-examaples-of-sewing-180988200/ #caving #history #americanhistory #ancienthumans #archaeology

#OnThisDay, 30 Jan 1913, Ida B Wells forms the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, Illinois, to give a voice to Black women who had been excluded by national suffrage organisations because of their race. In March 1913, the club headed to Washington DC to take part in the national Women’s Suffrage Procession. They were told to march at the back, in a segregated section, so as not to upset white southern women. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #AmericanHistory #Histodons 1/2
