Last night (July 3) Trump stood at Mount Rushmore, in front of granite faces carved into a mountain the government stole from the Lakota Nation, and called America “the most exceptional nation ever to exist.” Fireworks went off over land that was never his to celebrate on, and in fact the US is still squatting on Lakota land today. Today the party moves to Washington, D.C., with fighter jets doing flyovers and a Times Square ball drop borrowed straight from New Year’s Eve. All of it dressed up as unity. Most of it paid for by a group with his name on it, not the country’s.

We built NOMOAR.com to be relased on July 4th 2026, and we did it on purpose.

While the fireworks go up and the flags wave and the country sings the same clean version of its own birthday, We are handing America something different. A mirror. A record. A gift, whether they want it or not.

Because here is the truth. This country has spent the last year trying to erase its own history. Words banned from federal documents. “Black.” “Racism.” “Diversity.” Scrubbed like they are dangerous. Websites wiped clean of Indigenous history, of slavery, of the people whose land this actually was before anyone called it America. National park signs pulled down because they told the truth about Yellowstone, about the tribes forced off that land at gunpoint. School libraries stripped of any book that dares to say race out loud. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is Project 2025, in motion, right now, and it has a name for what it is doing. They call it “restoring truth and sanity.” What they mean is erasing anything that makes them uncomfortable.

This is for Black communities who built this country's wealth for free and are now watching their history flagged as a keyword too dangerous to say out loud. This is for Indigenous nations whose land and stories keep getting scrubbed off the very parks built on top of them. This is for Latino communities living under the weight of ICE raids right now, watching their neighborhoods treated like a threat instead of a home. This is for Middle Eastern, Asian, and every other community whose place in this country's story has been minimized, distorted, or erased outright. This is for anyone who has ever had to fight to prove their history actually happened.

But history does not work that way. You cannot delete what already happened. You can take down a sign. You can pull a book off a shelf. You can scrub a website in an afternoon. None of that undoes the fact that this land was stolen, that people were enslaved, that the wealth of this country was built on land theft and bison slaughter and boarding schools and broken treaties. Erasing the record does not erase the debt. It just means fewer people know they are owed anything.

So on the 250th birthday of the United States, we am not giving America a birthday cake. We am giving it a reminder.

NOMOAR, the National Online Museum of American Racism, is an independent, community built archive. Anyone can visit nomoar.com right now and browse the timeline, no login required. It is built to be a living record of racist events, policies, and violence in this country, from 1776 to right now, told through S.T.O.R.I.E.S. (Sequential Timeline Of Racist Incidents, Events, + Sites). Every entry has a date, a location, and a truth that somebody tried to bury. It is searchable via timeline or interactive Map. This will transform into an app soon to use as a travel tool to learn more about wherever you may be in America, you will be able to find TRUE history.

This is not a museum you just walk through. It is one you can help build. If you want to add to it, you can sign up and submit your own entry, your own piece of this history, whether it is something your family carried for generations or something you researched yourself. And the timeline of STORIES itself always starts today, no matter what day it is and goes backwards. Because the story of American racism did not end in some other century. It is still being written, right now, in real time. This archive will start small but grow fast, soon there will be STORIES recorded across the US for all to see.

Nobody gets to quietly edit this. Every submission will be reviewed by a core team of trusted moderators, people who believe in preserving all of American history, not just the parts that are comfortable. That is the whole point. This is not state propaganda dressed up as patriotism. It is not a partisan hit job either. It is the truth, sourced, dated, and defended by people who actually care about getting it right.

This is a gift for the next 250 years. You cannot build a better future on a lie about the past. You can only build it on the truth, the whole truth, the parts that hurt and the parts that were stolen from people who are still here, still fighting, still cooking, still telling the story.

Happy birthday, America. Here is what actually happened. Help us keep telling it.
