The #LSSC / #Colbert last night reminded everyone that "On T****'s first day in office, he signed an #ExecutiveOrder abolishing all #DEI programs/policies, and forbidding the U.S. government from celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth, #MLK Day or #Juneteenth."

THIS is why black #Republicans (ubiquitous on #Fox) drive me insane, defending & supporting the #RacistInChief, trying to tell us how much he is doing for "black people" (never using the word "minorities" b/c that includes Hispanics.)

I forgot #jillstein couldn't turn out a single black person in Philly to her rally on #juneteenth

Today we honor Juneteenth — a celebration of Black freedom, resilience, and joy. Let’s reflect, uplift, and continue the work for justice, equity, and liberation. #Juneteenth #BlackJoy #FreedomDay #BlackLivesMatter #DisabilityJustice #ChronicallyUnited

As a descendant of slaves, I deeply understand the significance of Juneteenth. It's a day of remembrance and celebration, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. We most continue fighting for equality and justice for all.

#Juneteenth #FreedomDay #BlackHistory

🇺🇸 "#Juneteenth celebrations then, like now, recognize the ongoing fight for human rights and equality and are commemorated through family cookouts, faith services, musical performances and storytelling. Today, Juneteenth celebrates African American resilience and achievement while aiding in the preservation of those historical narratives that promoted racial and personal advancement since #FreedomDay.” - #NMAAHC

Juneteenth and the Legacy of Memory: A Reflection from Canada

The power of history, media, and public knowledge helps shape our futures, and Juneteenth is a reminder of that across borders. I find myself reflecting each year on its significance, not just in the U.S., but here in Canada too, especially during these trying times. With a hope that we never revisit the injustices of eras like Jim Crow, we must stay grounded in memory.

Today I went to the Santa Cruz, California protest march against Trump’s Republican fascist, racist, Christian white supremacist, regime in the USA. Thousands of people stood up and blocked the streets as we marched through Santa Cruz. We got a lot of positive feedback, including supportive honks and yelling, from people in cars passing by. We didn’t face anyone that was pro-Trump.

New #research article coming out this year showing that US Southern counties with #CivilRights organizations during the movement era (1954-65) now enjoy less #RacialInequality than those lacked any orgs. This diagram shows the prevalence of these CR organizations by county. Lots of #NAACP chapters, relatively few CORE orgs or #SNCC projects. Most counties had just one of the "Big 4" (NAACP, CORE, SNCC, or #SCLC), 44% had 0. Counties containing #Atlanta and #Jackson, MS had all four. #Juneteenth
