One of the things I've been worried about is public history in Trumpland. The way we remember things that happened is inherently political, and is always contested.
Trans people being edited out of their own history is violence.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

Over the padt couple decades, the NPS has been doing a much better job telling the truth about that war. A sustained, purposeful emphasis on slavery in their interpretation.
I assume this will be under threat as well. We'll see.
My teacher was gay, it was such a central thing for him he was kinda shocked when I assumed he was talking about Stonewall Jackson.
Learned a lot!
