Happy Juneteenth, DC. Fannie Lou Hamer said it plainly, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Today is Juneteenth, a celebration marking the day the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas.
Power to the People, Y’all, a documentary about the Black Panther Party in North Carolina, explores what that means in practice
Foster still won’t support HR40. Normalize shaming corrupt politicians like @repbillfoster.bsky.social who tweet performative tweets about Juneteenth while refusing Black people reparations, restitution, or universal healthcare.
This tweet is the extent of his commemoration. Pathetic.
On Juneteenth remember none of this is ancient history. If you think Emmett Till was "so long ago" should be reminded that 10 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who falsely accused him died only 3 years ago.
Not ancient history. Contemporary reality.
