#Trump’s order came just days after Hartig was grilled by #Republican “legislators” [stooges] in 2 congressional hearings, where she was accused of teaching “national self-loathing.”
In the hearings Hartig contested the report & insisted the #Smithsonian #museum was simply representing #history in all its complexity.

The report accused the museum’s director, Anthea M. Hartig, of “radical activist ideology” & the #museum of undermining “faith in American institutions.”
The order went so far as to suggest that the signage inform potential museum visitors of locations where #UShistory is better presented. The admin did not say where the public would be redirected.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The chief difference between the despotic and the totalitarian secret police lies in the difference between the “suspect” and the “objective enemy.” The latter is defined by the policy of the government and not by his own desire to overthrow it. He is never an individual whose dangerous thoughts must be provoked or whose past justifies suspicion, but a “carrier of tendences” like the carrier of a disease. Practically speaking, the totalitarian ruler proceeds like a man who persistently insults another man until everybody knows that the latter is his enemy, so that he can, with some plausibility, go and kill him in self-defense.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 12 “Totalitarianism in Power,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/54483/

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it “all men are created equal, except negroes.” When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read “all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.” When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

A quotation from Thomas Jefferson
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)

#MeitY ban on #Telegram in #India is an egregious & asinine attempt by the #GovernmentofIndia to hide the utter #incompetence & #irresponsibility of #NTA in conducting critical #exams. Telegram is only a convenient channel for the leakers, not the most resilient.
#Scapegoating, #censorship & #despotism aren't the alternatives to taking #accountability of #leaks inside NTA. Nor does it absolve you of the resulting loss of lives to suicides. Shame on you, #GoI!

Compared with his 1st term, … #Trump has emphasized the importance of #loyalty this time around. Admin ofcls have complimented him far more in #cabinet meetings than in his 1st term…

The #cabinet has historically advised the #POTUS on a variety of matters, but in Trump’s 2nd term, it appears to have taken on a new mandate∶ #flattery.
Marathon cabinet meetings, lasting 1–3 hrs, have become a hallmark of Trump’s 2nd presidency…. Often televised, the meetings provide an opportunity for ofcls to credit him for their dept’s accomplishments while still trying to claim some spotlight for themselves.

The New York Times reviewed over a dozen hours of cabinet meeting footage to analyze how Trump’s administration spoke to him. On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered #Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents.

Ah! what could our Family do without the moralist? He has always been our stay, our support, our friend; today he is our only friend. Whenever there has been dark talk of assassination, he has come forward and saved us with his impressive maxim, “Forbear: nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved by violence.” He probably believes it. It is because he has by him no child’s book of world-history to teach him that his maxim lacks the backing of statistics. All thrones have been established by violence; no regal tyranny has ever been overthrown except by violence; by violence my fathers set up our throne; by murder, treachery, perjury, torture, banishment and prison they have held it for four centuries, and by these same arts I hold it today. There is no Romanoff of learning and experience but would reverse the maxim and say: “Nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved except by violence.”
Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
