Two months after the end of the Civil War, Union troops went to Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to free over 250,000 enslaved people and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation.

They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

On this Juneteenth, we hope you will take some time to acknowledge the incredible contributions of Black Americans, all of the progress that we’ve made, and also how far we still have to go to achieve justice in our country.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and a reminder that liberation is ongoing. Today we're holding onto the words of Blezzing Dada.
We honor Black trans people whose joy, care, leadership, and resilience continue to shape our communities.

Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of.
Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.
