On Juneteenth, we commemorate the news of emancipation finally reaching America's last enslaved people, and we recommit to fighting to deliver the true promise of America for all, even against right-wing backlash.

Not to diminish the importance of Juneteenth, you are not quite correct.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
13th Amendment
Gotta disagree with you Congressman - I’m a boomer & we failed people of color & women by not enshrining into law equal protection for all the people here🇺🇸We allow insurance companies
& banks to redline & pigeonhole people constantly. There are 501 days to Midterms🥊

No it’s not fucking too soon. It’s way past due. I’m really glad Japanese-Americans were paid (not enough by a mile) reparations, but how is that just when most people don’t even want to think about what we really owe?
I say we tell the 77.3 Million Trump voters to stop believing his lies and stop believing all the delusional shit right-wing media has been telling them for decades so they'll come around to voting for progress.
Indeed, we continue the fight to deliver the true promise of American, yes, even against right-wing backlash...Due process, habeas corpus matter for all...
I disagree, considering all of the racist activities from this administration. It just encourages more racist actions by others. Maybe sometime in the century 2300, we will finally accomplish “ALL Men are Created Equal” in every way.
Rep. Raskin is an authentic American patriot in the same tradition as Paul Revere and Frederick Douglass. Rarely has one man's voice been more critical to a nation's survival.
This Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of what happens when people rise up against oppression and fight for freedom. As democracy faces threats, we honor the past resilience by vowing to protect the progress won. We will not let democracy die; we will stand firm and continue the fight.
#Democrats must stop playing nice guys leaving it to voters when in fact you're up against the scum of humanity! #Americaisfucked DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
This holiday today transcends tradition, it’s a solemn reminder that the fight for humanity & dignity remains urgent. In a polarized era rife with erasure & division, honoring shared struggle preserves truth, fosters unity, & demands justice, ensuring no community’s pain is forgotten or dismissed.
Black Americans have long been the nation’s moral compass, resisting oppression, demanding justice, & inspiring change. Their courage rebuilt America from its deepest decay, guiding us closer to democracy and a more perfect union. Their legacy is the foundation of progress and true national renewal.

That is NOT a typo. Cruel chattel slavery remained LEGALLY practiced in the US until 1942!
