🇪🇺 Europe's elected leaders are punished for attending the victory parade in Moscow to commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany
- Criminalising diplomacy has been a disaster and should end. Otherwise, peace in Europe will be negotiated solely by non-Europeans

Health groups urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to revoke the PH's nomination to lead the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA), citing serious concerns about the country's recent engagements with the tobacco industry.

The PH health secretary Teodoro Herbosa recently posed for photos while accepting donations from Philip Morris International (PMI).

The #Trump admin has frozen more than $1 billion in funding for #Cornell & $790 million for #Northwestern amid *#CivilRights* [white man sad] investigations into both schools.

"President Trump’s team is selectively stripping away the public record, reconstructing his preferred vision of America in the negative space of purged history, archivists and historians said. As data and resources are deleted or altered, something foundational is also at risk: Americans’ ability to access and evaluate their past, and with it, their already shaky trust in facts."

"To create a new American authoritarianism, Trump and Hegseth must invert our most cherished values, maligning truth-telling as divisive ideology and censoring critical scholarship in the name of freedom of speech."

Robert P. Jones reports that his book White Too Long has been removed from holdings of the prestigious library of the US Naval Academy. He writes:

"This defilement of a respected academic institution by those who are waging an outright assault on higher education is, disturbingly, the goal. Honor and integrity are inconvenient stumbling blocks on the road to absolute power."

A district court judge had blocked the #Education Dept from canceling more than 100 grants that funded 2 programs— #Teacher Quality Partnership & Supporting Effective Educator Development—while #litigation challenging the decision continued.

“It seems like we’re headed in the direction where there’s even an attempt to deny that the institution of #slavery even existed, or that #JimCrow laws & #segregation & #RacialViolence against Black communities, Black families, Black individuals even occurred,” said historian Clarissa Myrick-Harris, a professor at Morehouse College, the historically Black campus in Atlanta.

#CivilRights advocates, #historians & #Black political leaders sharply rebuked #Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History.” They argued that his #ExecutiveOrder targeting the #Smithsonian Institution is his admin’s latest move to downplay how #race, #racism & #BlackAmericans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.

#Trump’s order accusing the #Smithsonian Institution of not reflecting #AmericanHistory notes correctly that the country’s Founding Fathers declared that “all men are created equal.”

But it doesn’t mention that the founders enshrined #slavery into the #US #Constitution & declared enslaved persons as ⅗ of a person for the purpose of the Census.

#Trump’s order calls the #Smithsonian’s evolving approach a “revisionist” history “with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth” that is “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”

Does he just describe himself but sub the names of the institutions he attacks wherever his name was?

The #Smithsonian, the official keeper of the American story, has operated independently as a public-private partnership created by an act of #Congress in 1846. #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder is an unprecedented act to edit an institution that — reflective of the nation itself — has expanded to include a wider, richer & more diverse telling of the nation’s #history.
