Why are you silent? Why are you standing by while a sitting president actively rewrites American history, erases marginalized Americans, and lies to the public—over and over—without consequence? Your silence is not neutrality. It is permission. Under President Trump, the federal government is systematically scrubbing the historical record. The National Park Service has removed or altered educational guides that clearly documented slavery and its central role in the founding and expansion of this country. These materials were factual, researched, and educational. Their removal is not an accident—it is a deliberate attempt to sanitize America’s past. At the Stonewall National Monument, a site administered by the National Park Service and dedicated to a pivotal moment in civil rights history, the Pride flag has been removed. Stonewall is not symbolic politics—it is documented history. LGBTQ+ Americans fought back against discrimination there. That fact does not disappear because the administration finds it inconvenient. Yet Congress says nothing. And still, President Trump continues to lie about the 2020 election. Those lies have been disproven repeatedly: by more than sixty court rulings, by Republican and Democratic election officials, by the Department of Justice under Trump’s own administration, and by congressional investigations. There was no stolen election. Congress knows this. Yet too many of you refuse to say it out loud. Why? Why is Congress allowing a president to undermine democracy, erase civil rights history, and manipulate federal institutions without public rebuke? Why are you failing to defend truth, history, and the Americans whose stories are being deliberately erased? This is not a partisan issue. This is a moral one. Congress has a constitutional duty to provide oversight. That duty does not disappear when the truth is uncomfortable or politically risky. When you refuse to speak, you are choosing cowardice over leadership and politics over principle. History is watching. So are the American people. Speak out. Hold hearings. Demand accountability. Stop pretending this is normal. Stop pretending it is acceptable. And stop abandoning the people you were elected to represent. Your silence is deafening. Explain it.
