Commentary: Trump wants to erase the tragedy of the Californios. We shouldn't let him
"Donald Trump is waging war on California the way Rome did on Carthage. He ordered the National Guard and the Marines to occupy parts of Los Angeles, over the objections of Gov. Gavin "Newscum" and Mayor Karen Bass. He's demanding that my alma mater, UCLA, pay a $1-billion fine over allegations of antisemitism. His Justice Department has sued the state on issues including transgender athletes, big-rig emission standards and cage-free eggs."
"Last month, the White House issued a news release titled "President Trump Is Right About the Smithsonian," flagging a grab bag of museum exhibits as offensive - basically anything that highlights racism or is sympathetic toward LGBTQ+ people and undocumented immigrants. Buried in this trash heap of whines is a complaint that reflects how hell-bent Trump is on bending California to his will."
Donald Trump has escalated actions against California, ordering the National Guard and Marines to occupy parts of Los Angeles and seeking a $1-billion fine against UCLA over alleged antisemitism. The Justice Department has sued California on transgender athlete rules, big-rig emission standards and cage-free egg policies. The White House criticized Smithsonian exhibits as offensive, targeting displays that highlight racism or sympathize with LGBTQ+ people and undocumented immigrants. The White House singled out a National Museum of the American Latino description of a "Californio" family losing land to Anglo "squatters," calling it a DEI offense. Historians say the move questions Californios' legitimacy and reflects anti-Mexican bias.
