This #Jan6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the #Capitol

The official plaque honoring the #police who defended #democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by #law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.

Obama, a model of dignified presidential behavior (just like *nearly* all of his predecessors, Democratic & Republican), understood viscerally the importance of self-restraint & adherence to long-established norms. Which is why he was so troubled by #Trump’s decadent performance. “You can stand in front of tens of thousands of teenage boys & encourage them to be good citizens & be helpful to their mothers,” Obama said, “or you can go Lord of the Flies. He went Lord of the Flies.”

US #Holocaust #Museum announced temporary closure of exhibit detailing #UnitedStates turned away #Jewish #refugees during #worldwarii This decision reportedly follows an order from #Trump to vet #Smithsonian museums for content considered to be #antiamerican. Closure of the exhibit, which highlights a critical historical narrative, has sparked a conversation about the boundaries of such vetting processes and their impact on historical education. @NoLieWithBTC: Museum closes exhibit #censorship
