Trump administration can't be bothered to hide its racism anymore (slavery exhibits edition)

 
Headline:  Pennsylvania Capital Star, 9/3/2026

Ian Karbal reports:
Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Hardiman denied a request from the city of Philadelphia’s lawyers to rehear arguments in its case against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the National Park Service last month. 
The city sued after National Park Service workers quietly removed exhibits on slavery from the President’s House historical site in Philadelphia in January. 
The signs were reinstalled following a ruling from District Court Judge Cynthia Rufe in February, who issued an injunction ordering the Trump administration not to tamper with them. 
But a panel of judges at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the injunction, unanimously siding with the federal government and finding the city had no standing to block the move. New exhibits were installed weeks ahead of the July 4 holiday and America250 celebrations.
