The story of America is a struggle for justice and equality. The protagonists of the story are those who struggled, who struggle. To remove them is to impoverish the story, to steal its very heart. I am a folklorist and I believe in the power of the folk to choose and tell the stories that matter. The stories belong to us, and we will keep them breathing; we will breathe them forward and live. blackpressusa.com/harriet-tubm #uspol #executiveOrder #history

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" ...

#Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules

by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025

"As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.

"The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.

"Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.

"'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.

"Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.

"'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'

"Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."

#Trump seeks to mandate proof of #citizenship in #VoterRegistration

"Only about half of Americans have a U.S. passport, and only five states currently offer enhanced driver's licenses that show proof of citizenship."

By Jude Joffe-Block, March 26, 20251:09 AM ET

Excerpt: "#VotingRights advocates, however, warn outdated databases can erroneously list naturalized citizens as noncitizens. Past efforts by states to purge noncitizens from voter rolls have sometimes swept up eligible U.S. citizens.

"The executive order also seeks to stop states from counting mail or absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after by withholding funding from states that allow such ballots to be counted.

"Proof of citizenship requirement

"Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump and his allies made baseless claims about the threat of noncitizens voting in large numbers.

"The current federal voter registration form asks registrants to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote, and to provide a driver's license number, state ID number or Social Security number. Those who attempt to vote illegally can face prison time, fines or deportation. Past audits and studies have shown such cases are incredibly rare.

"Yet Republicans have made requiring documentary proof of citizenship a policy priority. The executive order borrows heavily from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the #SAVEAct, a Republican-backed bill. House Republicans have signaled that they intend to pass it in their chamber but it faces difficult odds in the Senate.

"The executive order shows #Trump isn't waiting for Congress. But legal experts say that he does not have the authority through #ExecutiveOrder to make such changes, and the order conflicts with existing #FederalVotingLaw.

"'It's illegal at many different levels,' said Sean Morales-Doyle, the voting rights director at the #BrennanCenter for Justice, a nonprofit that studies and advocates for voting rights. The order directs the #ElectionAssistanceCommission, a small, independent bipartisan agency, to make various changes, including to the federal #VoterRegistration form, but Morales-Doyle said the president can't tell that commission what to do.

"Requiring documentary proof of #citizenship would radically upend voter registration if such a mandate were to take effect.

"The order is explicit that applies to anyone who uses the federal voter registration form. What is less clear is if the order would also pressure states to require showing proof of citizenship with state registration forms, such as by #WithholdingFunds.

"The order only lists a limited number of ways to prove U.S. citizenship. The options given are a U.S. passport, an ID that complies with the #RealIDAct that shows citizenship or a military ID that shows citizenship. A fourth option is a valid government photo ID that 'indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship,' but does not say if a birth certificate would count."

#Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder cites the Natl Museum of #AfricanAmericanHistory & #Culture by name & argues that the #Smithsonian as a whole is engaging in a “concerted & widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history.”

Instead of celebrating an “unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, & human happiness,”the order states that a “corrosive…divisive, race-centered ideology”has “reconstructed”the nation “as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”
