  • A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore an exhibit about slavery at a National Park site in Philadelphia
  • In January, workers removed 34 panels and video exhibits from an open-air exhibit at The President’s House in Independence National Historical Park
  • The park is the site of the first presidential residence used by George Washington, and the exhibit is a memorial to nine people enslaved by Washington at the time
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore an exhibit about slavery that was removed last month — and cited an infamous warning about totalitarianism in the process.

On Monday, Feb. 16, U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe granted a preliminary injunction in favor of the City of Philadelphia, regarding the federal government's alteration of The President’s House in Independence National Historical Park.

Yep, trying to erase history he doesn't like. Makes sense.

Awesome.

"As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto 'Ignorance is Strength,' this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not," she wrote.

The judge also wrote that the removal of the displays was unlawful, "arbitrary and capricious," and caused "irreparable harm" by erasing historical truth and undermining public trust. She ordered that all panels and video exhibits be reinstalled and further alterations must come with "a mutual written agreement" with the City of Philadelphia.

Sadly, all the JPP MAGAts support this agenda. This is why I have no sympathy for them on the Day of Rage.

Note who they are and where they live now because when the day comes, most of these cowards will take down their Trump flags and banners then deny they ever supported the wannabe dictator and pedophile.

trumpism depends on the masses accepting the propaganda being fed to them by a totalitarian government.

No. If you bothered to read the ruling it is another district judge upholding the law. The law passed in 1948 allowed the city and the National Park service to enter into an agreement. That law allowed for an agreement in 2006 which allowed the city to create and install an exhibit. The agreement said the exhibit would never be removed without the agreement of the city who paid for the installation. Not only that, the 1950 agreement says that the City retains ownership of all the land and buildings in the National Park. The 1950 agreement says no changes can be made without both the NPS and the city agreeing to it.

The judge is merely upholding the law and the contracts created under that law. Trump is not a king. He can't just ignore the law.


Under the terms of the 1950 Agreement, 2006 Cooperative Agreement and amendments
thereto, and 16 U.S.C. § 407n authorizing the agreements, the City has a statutory right and
expectation to mutual agreement on any changes or alterations to the Park, including the
President’s House, to written agreement for placement of any monument or memorial, and to
consultation on all matters of importance to the Park. Removal of the President’s House displays
invaded this legally protected interest.

The masses supporting Trump and his MAGAts are getting smaller and smaller.

This is why I fear JPP may lose some MAGAts by "accident" if the Midterms are cancelled. Not by me, but by their own neighbors, friends and relatives.

LOL - no. They'll all still be here insisting that the next Democratic president <insert name here> is the "most corrupt person ever to hold the title of president".

Remember how inuendo about a deal in Ukraine during Obama's presidency was the most "corrupt" thing we had to worry about? Now we have a president trading our AI national security to the UAE in return for them buying a half billion of his crypto.
 
Question: Was this display in the least relevant to the history of the NHS in question? After all, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania were never slave owning areas and had no connection to slavery in the US other than the most peripheral one. So, again, what was the relevance of the display to the site in question?

Why are cult members like you so unable to read?

Here you go. This gives the history of the display.
Page 5 if you are unable to read more than a few sentences. It shows that your claim about there being no connection to slavery is completely false when it comes to actual history.

Reading though that it appears that nothing more than a footnote to history was removed, much of it a presentism fallacy. What they apparently did was elevate something that was minor and insignificant at the time into a major historical point using present day values. In a sense, they commit cultural suicide.

Wrong. The National Park Service is under the Executive Branch.

It is another district court judge pretending to be bigger than he/she is.....again.

Did you read the entire part where they discussed why it was included and how it was because of Congress? or did you just do your usual cult failure to read?

Did the cult eat your brain? I never said the NPS wasn't under the Executive Branch. The judge never said the NPS wasn't under the Executive Branch.

It's another district judge applying the law correctly. The federal government doesn't get to ignore laws or contracts just because you are in a cult.

Yes. It says NOTHING about anything in specific having to be included in the display, just discussing that it should be relevant. How relevant is what amounts to a footnote in history?

The judge makes a mountain out of a mole hill. It's a case of, Oh, Washington had a few slaves on the property so that should become a major display and focus of the exhibition... It's an absurd point. Whether anything is included on that or not, it certainly doesn't deserve a major focus of the site in terms of displays. It smells of woke, political pandering and correctness.
