a tiny protest inside my house
Mar. 28th, 2025 03:22 pmTrump doesn't like Black people. He doesn't like the idea that his ancestry might not be better than anyone else's. He doesn't like courage or resilience. If he is allowed to get away with it, he wants to close the
National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Here is a report from my visit there in 2018, plus a visit to the zoo, which may also be closed (?!)

I have the museum's cookbook
https://www.smithsonianstore.com/sweet-home-cafe-cookbook-10759/
Much of it is irrelevant to me, being very meat-heavy, but I bought it for some of the corn-related recipes.
I am about to make corn bread. Nobody but you (readers) and I will know, but it's a way of sending love, at least emotionally.
Jump on a train and go see the museum while you can. It's also peak cherry blossom time in DC.
Follow-up - I sent a comment to the WH comment page in which I expressed outrage at the actions proposed against the Smithsonian, lauded the NMAAHC, said that as a white person I am not threatened by historical facts, and said (to the president, who surely is not the one who reads the comments) "You are a sniveling insecure jerk." I guess we'll see if anybody shows up at my door.
