From the Atlanta Daily World:
BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — The executive order is chillingly titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” It declares that the Smithsonian, once a symbol of “American excellence,” has become tainted by narratives that portray “American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.” By Stacy M.

Are any of these organisations going to fight back ?
By the lack of anything so far, that answer is a clear: No
The Americans complete silence is defending throughout the world.
Not that I really disagree, but it should be pointed out - Trump has never had an ideology, never. Unless scamming money is an ideology. He's only racist in the sense that he believes people are beneath him and some "categories" more than others, he doesn't actually give a shit about anything we'd call a belief system or vision for the world or anything.
This stuff seems to me like ragebait, but IRL; explicitly intended to cause stories of "riots" that will give them the thinnest of justifications to start violent crackdowns.
America is in an extremely sketchy place right now. If violence begins in earnest, it's hard to imagine lefties coming out on top. And even if so, the suffering involved will be extreme.
Edit to add: I really do think that creating justifications to attack the left (literally, not metaphorically) is the plan for how to unite his base again once they turn on him enough. And if it works, we are SUPER fucked.
Trump's ideology is Trump. He is terribly insecure and requires constant affirmation of his strength and virility. Hence, a bully. But now a bully with an army.
Yep. Frankly his stated motivations for doing anything should be largely disregarded, but especially so for anything that historically comes from an ideological place. It's like a blinking advertisement saying "this is definitely not true".
