Honoring Juneteenth

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth - a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience and the ongoing journey toward equality. We remain committed to building a future rooted in justice, inclusion and respect for all.

Alamogordo, New Mexico celebrated Juneteenth today in Washington Park.

We have all sorts of local color on display when we celebrate.

Not that Swerve Strickland doesn't ever do anything cool ever, he always does cool shit. But, now that I remembered that it was Juneteenth today we better be getting some of that today on tonight's Dynamite.

good afternoon and happy Juneteenth!

if you’re a whitey it’s a great idea to show your support by sending some Black folks some cash. We need it. Many are posting mutual aid requests but struggle to meet their goals for months or years. There’s also threads of them. edit: linked thread in post.

If you have a disposable income or even a few dollars to spare I highly recommend to donate to the fundraisers, buy the art/wishlist items/etc. of those most marginalized and in need rather than large charities and corporations.

Black people do not have generational wealth because of centuries of slavery. Asking for money is not greedy and giving it to us is not unnecessary. Say that again til you understand.

Happy Juneteenth!
African Americans' Independence Day is celebrated today.

Ce 19 juin, on célèbre la libération des derniers esclaves à Galveston, Texas, à la mi-juin 1865, 1 an et demi après la proclamation de l'émancipation par Abraham Lincoln le 1er janvier 1863.

I’ve been involved in the #BLM movement since the 1980’s. Started my journey working with the Jesse Jackson for President campaigns in 84 and 88. Later worked with the late Leo Sullivan, Hollywood’s first Black animator, on his Afrokids project, then with Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party on his college speaking engagements. Been a long struggle, and it’s far from over. #Reparations are long overdue. #Juneteenth #Juneteenth2024 #BlackMastodon #BlackFriday

Happy #Juneteenth! Cladrite Radio is grateful for these great Black performers (and so many others) who have so enriched our lives and set our toes a-tappin'! #juneteenth2024

"The irony of this holiday is that the Black descendants of chattel slavery are celebrating, in some spaces, side-by-side with the White descendants of their enslavers. This is further complicated by the federal government's failure to provide restorative justice for chattel slavery, a dynamic rooted in White Americans' resistance"

The real Independence Day in the USA.

Today is Juneteenth in the US. No matter what part of the world you're living in, it's crucial to learn about our history. We need to understand how racism was created as oppressive system and how it is still embedded in everything today. For change to happen, we need to take continuous, intentional anti-racist action.

White people: Juneteenth is a reminder to learn what we don't know yet, to go deep inside ourselves and sit with uncomfortable truths, and especially to take action. Donate to Black-owned organizations, buy products and services from Black-owned businesses. Read books by Black authors, diversify your social media streams. Amplify lived experiences that differ from your own. Have a conversation about systemic racism. Watch for microaggressions in your everyday life and call them out. Change your own behavior - start with one thing to do differently and take note when you fall back to your old ways, why that is, and what you need to change it.

We all need to do better. We can only start with ourselves.

It's a steamy one! Clear skies tonight for the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party on Juneteenth 6/19. It's the night before the solstice so we'll open the Westport Observatory late this evening as we won't even see any stars until after 9 pm. No planets to view but an almost full waxing gibbous Strawberry Moon will fill the telescope eyepieces at the observatory on this very warm evening. If you plan to come, please arrive AFTER 9.

On #Juneteenth2024 , why weren’t there any Black women hired by #NASA until 1965? (Yes, what the movie told you is incorrect). A little #spacehistory and #blackhistory https://youtu.be/kQbrg_XmB_c?si=wo9ffrONIgeHrRmn

I've had a few "what should I watch for #Juneteenth" in my DMs from some genuinely amazing #mastodaoine who want to be dealt in on the dark realities of the united states' long/continuing history of slavery and oppression of POC.

The host asks the question, "When was the last literal chattel slave freed in the US?". My very serious/unironic answer is, "when my step-dad was 4... "
