The National Archives holds the founding documents and the receipts — the records that let a citizen check what the government actually did. The Smithsonian and the national museums hold the version of the American story that outlasts whoever is in office. None of that survives being run by whoever currently holds power. We are watching boards replaced with loyalists, exhibits rewritten to flatter one man, collections put at risk, and a Pearl Harbor hero's name scraped off a ship to make room for an ego. A country that lets its record be edited by the people the record is about has no way to hold anyone accountable later. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to write independence for the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and the national cultural institutions into statute — fixed board terms, protection from political removal, and no rewriting or renaming without public process.
