Trump bans ‘negative’ signage at national parks, asks visitors to snitch on unpatriotic text (www.denverpost.com)

Instead, his administration has ordered the national parks and hundreds of other monuments and museums supervised by the Department of the Interior to ensure that all of their signage reminds Americans of our “extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity and human flourishing.”

Those marching orders, which went into effect late last week, have left Trump opponents and free speech advocates gasping in disbelief, wondering how park employees are supposed to put a sunny spin on monuments acknowledging slavery and Jim Crow laws. And how they’ll square the story of Japanese Americans shipped off to incarceration camps during World War II with an “unmatched record of advancing liberty.”

At Manzanar National Historic Site, a dusty encampment in the high desert of eastern California, one of 10 camps where more than 120,000 Japanese American civilians were imprisoned during the early 1940s, employees put up a required notice describing the changes last week.

I sincerely hope they simply don’t do anything. Like, too fucking bad, deal with it, no we’re not taking the signs down.

This guy shits his pants, the only power he has is what is given to him.

This is a distraction and for his base, but yet, I still feel like we all need to know about this.

Tape a shitty paper sign up outside that says "Trump says this is a lie" It'll get wrecked by the weather so it's useless but technically they're complying.
