Censorship's Silver Linings & The President's House
Let's be real here - I'm not an eternal optimist. I'm actually far from it. However, every so often I read something about a censorship campaign that is just so ridiculous that I can't help but roll my eyes, sigh, and be thankful that I've been made aware of it.
In January 2026, the Trump / Vance Administration ordered exhibit panels about enslaved persons to be removed from The President's House, an outdoor historic site located next to the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Because this Administration wishes to erase any evidence of white people being less than perfect, they are going to ridiculous lengths to rewrite history.
Thankfully, they approached the situation the same way I'd imagine that the Three Stooges would, and their attempt to whitewash history is backfiring beautifully. Let's keep up the momentum and find the silver lining amid these ridiculous censorship attempts. Please listen to my musings and then let's discuss!
