We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent* Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs. A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

Democrats have a very reasonable solution, just about the most reasonable solution there is: the executive branch stops lawbreaking and instead honors the Constitution. The alternative—accepting the White House illegally ignoring Congressionally-passed budgets—is the unreasonable stance. Obviously.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

US Archivist Colleen Shogan was fired today, proving once again that complying in advance will not save you, so you might as well do the right thing from the start.
WSJ headline:

Exclusive
America’s Top Archivist Puts a Rosy Spin on U.S. History—Pruning the Thorny Parts

Plans for new exhibits at the National Archives Museum included swapping a photo of Martin Luther King Jr. marching for Civil Rights for former President Nixon greeting Elvis

WASHINGTON—The Biden appointee in charge of the nation’s most treasured documents has over the past year ignited a behind-the-scenes fight over the telling of American history.

U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan and her top advisers at the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates a popular museum on the National Mall, have sought to de-emphasize negative parts of U.S. history. She has ordered the removal of prominent references to such landmark events as the government’s displacement of indigenous tribes and the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II from planned exhibits.

Visitors shouldn’t feel confronted, a senior official told employees, they should feel welcomed. Shogan and her senior advisers also have raised concerns that planned exhibits and educational displays expected to open next year might anger Republican lawmakers—who share control of the agency’s budget—or a potential Trump administration. 

She was tapped for the job at a sensitive time for the agency—days before federal agents searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022, spurred by the Archives’ discovery that Trump had taken home classified records. Republicans accused the agency of abusing its authority and targeting the former president. GOP lawmakers grilled Shogan about alleged partisan leanings during her confirmation hearings.

Shogan has since overseen a host of changes to exhibits planned in a roughly $40 million makeover of the National Archives Museum, which draws more than a million visitors a year, and the adjacent Discovery Center, which provides education programs for students

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡
James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.Tom Cruise in an aviation suit and Rayban aviator sunglasses from Top Gun.

We must keep fighting the good fight and doing the best we can to combat the evils in this country. It seems the great experiment of Democracy is being truly put to the test, and hopefully we can come out stronger, hopefully for our future…

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.
