President Biden on Thursday signed into law the bill that will officially make Juneteenth a federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S.
This is good news. Hopefully it will become a day of reflection. Having said that, I’m sure a few heads are about to explode.
This is so wonderful.
It’s about damn time.
All Rethuglican.
Uncle Joe.
Look at him in the picture.
He couldn’t be happier.
Everyone in the room couldn’t be happier.
Do the right thing.
Doing the right thing makes you smile,
and here’s your proof.
Federal employees have been given tomorrow off due to the new holiday. Don’t say Congress can’t do things fast, even if it’s only virtue signaling.
Nah, it’s definitely a cookout holiday.
Hey we can do both!
You got that! Barbecued meats and mac and cheese.
Collard greens that are 50% pork.
And so fucking delicious. I love greens.
O lookee - it seems like every day someone else in the Nazi brigade goes to jail:
Now change Columbus Day to something celebrating first nations, and we’ll really be getting somewhere.
Live music at outdoor public gatherings in places like Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park has been tradition here in Houston since the 80s.
Breaking Bad rocks.
Ran his operation from inside an OK state penitentiary.
I knew I had tomorrow off because my job set it up as a holiday.
What I’d forgotten is that they did this back in January.
I find that emblematic in a way because we’re talking about a corporate job in NYC.
So I’m not surprised the Feds got it together.
Money talks—I don’t mean in the sense of the Feds getting paid off, I mean in the sense of when corporate America gets on board with something It’s all over for the recalcitrants.
It’s going to be pretty weird in red states when kids ask teachers why Juneteenth is a holiday and they have to say, on the advice of my attorney, I can’t answer that.
June 17, 2021, is such a BEAUTIFUL DAY!
1 / That GQP Heads don’t explode is proof there is no God.
2 / They will bitch and moan privately, yet publicly take the day off instead of working like slaves.
3 / GQP members don’t show a reflection in any mirror, real or virtual.
I saw a-holes on Twitter complaining about it. I guess they’ll just celebrate 3/5 of the day.
