Smallest man alive is Donald Trump. What a loser.

She should've published the Equal Rights Amendment. It was within her power. There may have been a lawsuit, but the #ERA would've gotten the attention it needed. Lost opportunity.

against ERA: Alabama, Arizona Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana Missouri Mississippi North carolina , South carolina, Oklahoma👎 recinded: Idaho Kentucky Nebraska Tennessee south Dakota << enemy of women

Purge in process.

He may as well be known as Agent Orange. Straight decimation.

What does this mean for the ERA?

bpwhitecurl.bsky.social•14 days ago

Archivists are keepers of truth. Trump will need to alter what is there.
He doesn’t do truth.
He creates his own reality which we are all now required to recognize

How will she preserve documents?

rowlandville.bsky.social•15 days ago

Pointing out that Shogan "was NOT Archivist at the time of the referral" is some liberal woke shit.

More breakage. Wish she had the courage to file the ERA

scparks50.bsky.social•15 days ago

Is she at will or civil service?

mmerlin.bsky.social•15 days ago

Wow, now he's free to steal any classified document he wants to.

hacknaturalist.bsky.social•15 days ago

Is he appointing himself as the new Archivist? He seems to do great with document storage.

I hope they're sued again

This is SERIOUSLY dangerous. History will be rewritten in his cultists' hands, ignoring everything but the wacko stories

garygifford.bsky.social•15 days ago

He can't do that. Fight back with money. Give lots of money to organizations who hire lawyers to file & win lawsuits against these Nazi bastards. FFRF, NAACP, ACLU, DemocracyForward, BrennanCenter, PublicCitizen, GLAD etc. Less posting & more action. Pick one & donate NOW. https://publiccitizen.org

Do keep in mind that the National Archivist is the person with the authority to declare when the Constitution has been amended

She was probably no sufficiently devoted.

Diaper Don is a big fucking baby. Can somebody change him already.

He's going to put it all in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

Small petty man

lavandedusud-24.bsky.social•15 days ago

Is he going to raid the National Archive to destroy US documents and change his criminal history?

shannonhoward.bsky.social•15 days ago

Even the conservative National Review endorsed Colleen Shogan as protector of our nation's precious historical archives. Yet she was just canned by a 38-year old Maltan immigrant once called the "mayor of Mar-A-Lago," who got his start in the GOP wearing an anti-Obama squirrel costume.

... but he's an amateur DJ, so

sbw56.bsky.social•15 days ago

Can he do that?

tarheelguy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Who’s going to stop him?

christylgo.bsky.social•15 days ago

No sympathy. She removed exhibits she thought would offend the organ he goons dnd don't publish the ERA. Obeying in advance doesn't always work in your favor.

bitskeezy.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m noticing a pattern that most of those being removed from their positions are women.

finl3y.bsky.social•14 days ago

If anyone wants to understand why you would fire an archivist, read the book Memory Makers by Jade McGlynn. Trump’s administration is about to reshape the nation’s history and teach and entirely new history. This is what happens in Putin’s Russia

andrewsfca.bsky.social•15 days ago

Retribution.

omato3.bsky.social•15 days ago

We have an immature bully as president, who also happens to be ignorant and evil. I wake up every day hoping he is dead. He stands alone on my enemies list, the only person I have ever truly hated (I am 80 years old).

He fired the librarian? What a dick move.

catsgatherhere.bsky.social•15 days ago

No, this is the Archivist of the US, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration. The Librarian of Congress and the Library are under the Legislative branch, NARA is an Executive branch agency.

She’s the same person who began removing exhibits from the national archive that she felt might make Trump mad. She’s a fool. She tried to kiss ass and they threw her out anyway.
