AnarchoNinaAnalyzesMany critics, who almost invariably do not work in the fields of historical study or education, will reflexively scoff at the idea that the Trump regime is attempting to erase, or re-write history in a way that supports a Christian Nationalist worldview as the official truth and indeed the only valid, legal way to speak about history; often while admitting that Trump is functionally illiterate and certainly doesn't read much history. Of course that argument is irrelevant because he's surrounded by a whole bunch of white nationalist freaks who certainly do read and care about history, in so much as it furthers their project to transform America into a permanent fascist dictatorship and white ethnostate; Stephen Miller, who is clearly functioning as the regime's Goebbels, has certainly read a history book or two. Even setting that obvious reality aside however, sometimes Trump's executive orders just come right out and admit this is the plan. Take for example Der Führer's recent order to put noted white nationalist (and Vice President) JD Vance in charge of scrubbing the Smithsonian museum (and zoo) complex of "improper ideology."<a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-smithsonian-executive-order" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-smithsonian-executive-order</a>'Unabashed Fascism': Trump Executive Order Targets 'Improper Ideology' at Smithsonian"U.S. President Donald Trump has elicited a fresh wave of anger after he signed an executive order on Thursday targeting exhibits or programs critical of the United States at the Smithsonian Institution, a sprawling network of largely free museums and Washington, D.C.'s National Zoo.The order aims to prevent federal money from going to displays that "divide Americans based on race" or "promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with federal law and policy," as well as remove "improper ideology" from Smithsonian's museums, education centers, and research centers."This is unabashed fascism," wrote the journalist Lauren Wolfe on X on Thursday. Amy Rutenberg, a history professor at Iowa State University, wrote: "Last week, while visiting several Smithsonian museums, I kept wondering how long it would take for this administration to direct exhibits to be pulled. Not long, it turns out."Look, if you think I'm being uncharitable about the purpose of this executive order, you can simply read the order yourself (here: <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/</a>) because Downmarket Mussolini makes it very clear this is about erasing the history of slavery, structural racism, the existence of trans women, and anything that makes white people uncomfortable about the history of a white supremacist country built on chattel slavery and genocide. Trump even pinned the tail on the donkey by instructing the interior secretary to reinstall statues and monuments removed or changed since January 1st, 2020; and if your memory is failing you, that date is clearly about undoing projects to remove monuments to racists and Confederate slavers, in response to the efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd protests. Anyone arguing this is about preserving history from ideology (a phrase that makes zero sense because history is affected by the ideologies governing human behavior at the time it happens; obviously) somehow, is literally pushing fascist propaganda; this is about establishing an official narrative in support of a white nationalist permanent social and political order, and slowly eliminating any source of facts that might argue with that narrative. This is ideological policing, and history has shown us that these efforts to rewrite the past and eliminate dissenting narratives typically end in, literal, mass graves. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JDVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JDVance</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Slavery</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musem</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Smithsonian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smithsonian</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IdeologicalPolicing</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BLM</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiTransPogrom</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenMiller</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GeorgeFloydProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeorgeFloydProtests</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConfederateMonuments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ConfederateMonuments</a>

Douglas E. WelchWilliam Bache's Silhouettes Album via The National Portrait Gallery [Shared]William Bache (1771–1845) emigrated from England to Philadelphia in May 1793 with no apparent training as an artist. Yet from 1803 to 1812, he pursued a prolific and successful career as an itinerant maker of silhouette portraits, traveling up and down the eastern seaboard, from Maine to Virginia, and further south to Louisiana and Cuba. Working sporadically over that nine-year period, he produced thousands of shaded profiles with the aid of a patented physiognotrace, a mechanical device used to trace the outline of a person’s face. Cheap and quick to make, silhouettes captured the likenesses of a broad cross-section of society, including those who could afford no other form of portrait.<a href="http://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/04/01/william-baches-silhouettes-album-via-the-national-portrait-gallery-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/04/01/william-baches-silhouettes-album-via-the-national-portrait-gallery-shared/</a><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/artwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artwork</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/portrait" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portrait</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/silhouette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silhouette</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shared</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/smithsonian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithsonian</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/nationalportraitgallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nationalportraitgallery</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/unitedstates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unitedstates</a>

For example, the order slams the Department of the Interior's role in implementing changes that 'inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures' at the same time that the administration's policies have led to the removal of references to transgender individuals and minorities and women.But buried within the list of issues is a reference to a display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The display, the executive order complains, 'claims that 'sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism' and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct.' That wording is denounced as an example of 'divisive, race-centered ideology.' But the Smithsonian's text is entirely accurate."<a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/03/trump-annoyed-the-smithsonian-isnt-promoting-discredited-racial-ideas/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/03/trump-annoyed-the-smithsonian-isnt-promoting-discredited-racial-ideas/</a>

Christian SchwägerlJetzt gibt <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> in den USA in seiner <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Smithsonian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smithsonian</a> Executive Order die Parole aus, Rasse sei eine “biologische Realität”. Wirklich bitter, dass es in der letzten Legislaturperiode nicht gelungen ist, das Wort “Rasse” aus dem deutschen Grundgesetz zu streichen bzw. den Passus so umzuformulieren, dass klar wird, Rassismus ist Menschen so zu behandeln, als gäbe es Rassen. Was nicht der Fall ist, “Rasse” ist ein seit Ewigkeiten widerlegter pseudowissenschaftlicher Unfug.<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/</a>
