Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

DC really is a place without a culture. It's the playground for the influential.
IDK I kinda like the Smithsonian as an institution.
I'll give you that. The rest of it is pretty lacking in culture, though.
What's the difference between a piece of cheese, and the USA?
Eventually, a piece of cheese will develop its own culture.
We're cultured like yoplait
lol good one
Eww it's a pro trump SHITHOLE now
Because of his direct intervention along the upper elements, if it was easy for him to do it'll be easy to purge. If it's not murder is always an option.
The fact that an institution allows to be controlled by a fuck like trump means the institution should be destroyed. So fuck the Smithsonian and all the cowards that work there. Hope it all burns down
While I'd agree with someone with any other title it's a hell of a lot harder to counter the president especially with groups based in DC since there's no state level institutions to work as a buffer. Also just shooting the president is quite hard so the violent counter barely exists.
Also he fired a lot of higher ups outright, the Smithsonian was hit particularly hard by Musk and his fuckboys. Even still a lot of the Smithsonian especially the elements based outside of DC are resisting as best as they can, sorta similar to park services. The problem is it's scattered and not talked about.
Dude I'm a broke ass Californian, I wish I could do something of note but sadly the fuckers doing most of the damage are well outside of my reach. What do you propose folks do that wouldn't turn into a massacre? Because frankly speaking short of attacking the power grid I legit can't think of anything folks could do.
Please do grant thine divine wisdom apon us poor souls. Otherwise shut up with your trite, the US is a collapsing empire with enough military power and leadership more than willing to level a city like New York. The best idea I've seen that's currently viable is localized community projects and hoping interstate trade collapses and takes the feds with it, everything else would be ineffective in the current situation.
