Redefining the history of #Slavery in #America, the #DJT admin has put its anti-#DEI thumb on the scales.

Under new #ExecutiveOrder edict to reshape the #Smithsonian #Museum and the #NationalParks, curators of historic sites are ordered to rewrite history of #CivilWar, delete references to #HarrietTubman. Teaching visitors to historic sites about #UndergroundRailroad has been legislatively mandated since 1998, but recent #Drumpf era ommissions have been removing references to that, as well as #JohnBrown from #HarpersFerry and deleting mentions of #AfricanAmericans, the practice of slavery and any "divisive narratives" ...

#California Gov #Newsom takes to #MelonHusk #SocialMedia platform attempting to reassure global trading partners and find workarounds for state to escape foreign trade from retaliatory tariffs. The state does 13% of all agricultural #exports in US, and is responsible for 14% of the nation’s total gross domestic product, making it the fifth-largest #economy in the world if it was a stand alone entity.

Over 85% of approx 108,000 #SanMateo voters approve the removal of ethically challenged sheriff Christina Corpus by a four fifths vote of county supervisors. Support for the unique #BallotMeasure garnered 90,900 votes for her removal, more than she won her office with. 17,318 county residents voted against removing the embattled #LawEnforcement official who has so far lost support of seven cities in the county, two sheriff’s unions,state and federal congressional leaders that have all called for Corpus to resign.

“While the initiative was in many ways unprecedented, it is our firm belief that, in this case, decisive action was necessary,” local #PoliceUnions said in a joint statement. “Today’s certified vote means that Sheriff Corpus’s reign of unscrupulous mismanagement will soon come to an end.”

Corpus says she has no plans to resign and her legal team is ready to fight the matter out in the courts saying she is "entitled to a public evidentiary hearing before a neutral and unbiased body. My legal team and I look forward to this opportunity, and are confident that I will be vindicated through a legitimate process.”
