This was nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth is celebrated with various activities including parades, festivals, and family gatherings, and has been gaining increased recognition as a federal holiday.

Specifically, it marks the day, June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the more than 250,000 enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day, or Emancipation Day, commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States.

Until they’ve proven they can handle that, I’ll continue to support seasoned, experienced Democrats who’ve shown they know how to lead, legislate, and navigate the complex realities of public service. #RIP #REPGerryConnolly

The reality is, many of these so-called "rising stars" still have a lot of growing to do. Governing isn’t about charisma or trending on social media—it’s about competence, strategy, and the ability to deliver under pressure.

That’s how leadership transitions happen—through action and earned trust, not entitlement.

Older Democrats aren’t going to step aside simply because some people want them to. That’s not how democracy works. If younger Democrats believe they can lead more effectively, the path is clear: run for office, build a base, and make your case to the voters.

The U.S. Dept. of Education: promotes student achievement, funds schools, protects civil rights, enforces privacy laws, and guides educational innovation. It’s not about controlling what’s taught, but ensuring fairness and opportunity for all students.

Leaving this here!

If you see this picture, this mean I got something to say and I will stop when I get good and ready.

Congrats Sen. Corey Booker

135. The Trump Reckoning Reaches the Court How the justices navigate the six pending emergency applications from the Trump administration will tell us a lot about how much (or how little) the Court will be a bulwark against the President.

#ICYMI: I wrote for "One First" about the six(!) emergency applications from the Trump administration now pending before #SCOTUS—and how those cases present, both individually and collectively, critical tests for whether the Court is going to stand up to Trump:

Understanding this history provides crucial insight into the systemic challenges they have faced and continue to confront, as well as the ongoing movements dedicated to achieving true equity in society.

When examining the history of African Americans, it becomes clear that their experiences, resistance, and perseverance are central to the broader fight for justice.

Social justice has been deeply embedded in American history from its very beginnings, even if it was not always labeled as such. The struggle for equality, fairness, and human rights has shaped the nation’s development in profound ways.

Chile, when he said the wrote his own name, I nearly punched the screen at work. I did continue to listen as much as I could stomach. That was a lot. Kudos to Clay for his patience.

If you truly believe you can do a better job than the officials currently in office, don’t just complain from the sidelines—step up, take action, and run for office yourself. Change doesn’t happen through words alone; it takes courage, commitment, and a willingness to lead. #SOTU2025

It's easy to sit back and criticize decisions after the fact, but everything changes when you're the one in the middle of the action. Hindsight makes everything seem obvious, but real leadership requires making tough calls in real time.

Responsible governance requires transparency, accountability, and adherence to the law—without these principles, reckless downsizing can lead to chaos, injustice, and harm to the nation as a whole.

When government functions are dismantled through unlawful or morally questionable means, it undermines essential services, weakens public trust, and disrupts critical programs that millions rely on for healthcare, safety, infrastructure, and economic stability.

Illegally and unethically downsizing the federal government poses a serious threat to the well-being of the American people.
